The Principal consents to such publication for the duration of the Agreement.

3. ONBOARDING AND DAC7 REPORTING

3.1. Pursuant to EU Directive 2021/514 (DAC7), the Agent is required to collect and transmit information on the Principal's earned income to the Estonian Tax and Customs Board (EMTA).

3.2. Mandatory data — to activate payouts, the Principal creates a Stripe account through the Platform (Stripe Connect) and provides:

  • To the Agent: legal name and registry code (verified against the Estonian Business Register; for natural persons: name, personal identification code and date of birth via eID), VAT identification number if applicable, address of the place of business and tax residency
  • Directly to Stripe: an identity document and other verification data required by Stripe (KYC/KYB) and the bank account for payouts (IBAN); the Agent sees only the verification status
  • Payouts are possible only after Stripe has completed the verification of the Principal's account

4. PAYOUT SCHEDULE

4.1. Payouts are executed only for orders that have reached the status "Completed": the Activation Code has been entered, access to an INSTANT service has been provided and the service completed (clause 6.4), or the Client did not show up (clause 6.2).

4.2. Payouts are executed through the payment service provider Stripe: once an order has reached the status "Completed", the transaction amount (less Stripe's payment processing fee) is transferred to the Principal's Stripe account and paid out to the Principal's bank account according to Stripe's payout schedule (as a rule within a few business days). No commission is deducted from the payout.

4.3. Refunds and chargebacks. If a booking is cancelled or deemed not provided (clauses 5.4, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4), the Agent refunds the Client the full amount paid and no payout is made to the Principal. If the Client disputes a payment through their bank (chargeback), the payout for that booking is withheld until the dispute is resolved; if the dispute is resolved in the Client's favour after the payout, the Agent has the right to reverse the amount from the Principal's Stripe account or set it off against subsequent payouts. At the Agent's request the Principal provides evidence that the service was delivered.

5. SERVICE TYPES

The Principal selects one of three types for each service, which determines the applicable framework for withdrawal and cancellation rights.

5.1. FLEXIBLE — flexible services (for example, beauty services, training, individual consultations). The Client has the 14-day right of withdrawal under the Law of Obligations Act (VÕS § 56), to which the procedure defined in the Agreement and Platform terms applies.

5.2. STRICT — services with a fixed date (for example, workshops, courses, events, bookings for a specific date or time). Pursuant to VÕS § 53⁴ p 12, the 14-day right of withdrawal does not apply to such services.

5.3. INSTANT — instantly delivered digital service (for example, recorded course, downloadable material, written consultation). Pursuant to VÕS § 53⁴ p 11, the right of withdrawal expires after the start of service delivery, provided the Client has given prior explicit consent.

5.4. The Principal has the right to cancel a booking under any service type. In the event of a cancellation by the Principal, the Client is refunded the amount paid in full (see clause 6.3).

6. CANCELLATIONS

6.1. Activation Code: A unique 6-digit Activation Code is generated for each booking and displayed in the Client's personal account. The Principal is required to enter the Client's Activation Code in their sales panel at the start of service delivery, which confirms service delivery and initiates the payout process.

6.2. If the Activation Code is not entered within 24 hours from the start time of the service, the outcome is determined by the no-show reports that either party can submit in their account from 15 minutes until 24 hours after the start time: if only the Principal reported that the Client did not show up, the service is deemed delivered and the Principal is paid; if only the Client reported that the Principal did not show up, if both reported, or if neither did, the service is deemed not provided and the Client is automatically refunded the amount paid in full.

6.3. The Principal may cancel a booking before the start of the service (for INSTANT, before providing access). In the event of a cancellation by the Principal, the Agent automatically refunds 100% of the funds to the Client.

6.4. INSTANT services: the Principal sends the access information to the Client's account through the sales panel. If access is not provided within 24 hours of payment, the booking is cancelled automatically and the money is refunded to the Client. After access is provided, the service is deemed completed once both parties have left a review or after 72 hours, and the payout is initiated.

7. LIABILITY AND DATA PROTECTION

7.1. The Principal is fully responsible for the quality and safety of the service provided and for compliance with applicable legal requirements.

7.2. The Principal processes the personal data forwarded by the Agent in accordance with the GDPR solely for the purpose of providing the service. Use of such data for direct marketing without the client's consent is prohibited.

7.3. The Principal indemnifies the Agent for all costs and damages (including fines) arising from the Principal's breach or submission of false data.

7.4. The Principal confirms that it holds all legally required permits (licences) and qualifications necessary to provide the specific service. Publishing on the Platform any service requiring a licence without presenting a valid permit is prohibited. The full list of prohibited and restricted services is available at avatud.ee/prohibited-services.

7.5. The Principal is fully responsible for fulfilling all tax obligations arising from its activity (including income tax, social tax, VAT). The Agent does not act as the Principal's tax agent or tax adviser.

7.6. The Agent's liability towards the Principal is in any case limited to the amount equal to the total Platform fees (monthly fees) received from the Principal during the previous 12 (twelve) months. The Agent is not liable for indirect damages (including lost profit, reputational damage, data loss, or third-party claims).

7.7. The Agent provides the Platform service on an "as is" basis and does not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free or up-to-date functioning of the Platform. The Agent has the right to perform planned technical work and will notify in advance where possible.
