Receiving Payments
General
-
Each Service you sell and successfully complete, accredits your account with revenue equal to 80% of the purchase amount.
-
Zimmi accredits Sellers once an order is completed.
-
If an order is canceled (for any reason), the funds paid will be returned to the Buyer.
-
Sellers are responsible for paying any direct or indirect taxes, including any GST, VAT or income tax, which may apply to them depending on residency, location or otherwise, under provisions of their jurisdiction. Sellers represent and warrant that they comply, and will comply at all times, with their obligations under income tax provisions in their jurisdiction. The price shown on the Service page is inclusive of all such taxes and charges that may apply to the Sellers.
-
Appointment as Limited Payment Collection Agent: Seller hereby appoints Zimmi as Seller’s limited authorized payment collection agent solely for the purpose of accepting payments (via its Payment Services Provider, if applicable) from Buyer, and remitting those payments to Seller. Seller agrees that payment from Buyer to Zimmi shall be considered the same as a payment made directly to Seller. Buyer’s payment obligation to Seller will be satisfied upon receipt of payment by Zimmi (or its Payment Services Provider, as applicable), and Zimmi (via its Payment Services Provider, as applicable) is responsible for remitting the funds to the Seller in the manner described in these Payment Terms. In the event that Zimmi (via Payment Services Provider) does not remit any such amounts to Seller, the Seller will have recourse only against Zimmi and not the Buyer directly. Seller agrees that Zimmi may describe or otherwise reflect the terms contained herein in any terms of service, receipts, disclosures, or notices including, but not limited to, receipts provided to Buyers that Zimmi may deem necessary or prudent.
-
Zimmi partners with Payment Services Providers for purposes of collecting payments from Buyers, transferring such payments from Buyers to Sellers, and holding funds. All payments services in connection with the withdrawal of funds on the Zimmi platform are performed by Zimmi’s Payment Services Providers.
Receiving Revenues
-
To receive your revenue, you must have an account with at least one of Zimmi's Payment Service Providers for the withdrawal methods listed below. All funds eligible for receipt will be held on your behalf at an account with Zimmi’s Payment Services Provider. All payment services will be provided by Zimmi’s Payment Services Provider.
-
Your Zimmi profile can be associated with only one account from each Zimmi withdrawal method. A Payment Service Provider withdrawal account can be associated with only one Zimmi profile.
-
Revenues are only made available for withdrawal following a safety clearance period of 14 days after the order is marked as complete.
-
For security concerns, Zimmi may temporarily disable a Seller’s ability to receive revenue to prevent fraudulent or illicit activity. This may come as a result of security issues, improper behavior reported by other users, or associating multiple Zimmi accounts to a single withdrawal provider.
-
Revenues can only be made in the amount available to you.
-
Fees vary depending on the withdrawal method.
-
Payment deposits are final and cannot be undone. We will not be able to reverse this process once it has begun.
-
In certain cases, Sellers may withdraw Revenues in several different currencies. All currency exchange services in connection with such withdrawals are performed by Zimmi’s Payment Services Providers. Your Zimmi Balance is always derived from its US$ value and, therefore, the local currency amount of your Zimmi Balance may change daily in accordance with exchange rate fluctuations and also includes conversion fees. Sellers always have the option to withdraw Revenues in US$.
-
Sellers will be able to withdraw their revenues from disabled accounts after a safety period of 90 days following full verification of ownership of the account in question, from the day of the last cleared payment received in their account and subject to Zimmi's approval.

See below for Order specific eligibility.
-
Completed orders may be canceled, upon review of our Customer Support team, up to 14 days after the order is marked as complete. Please be advised that orders cannot be partially canceled (i.e. we can only cancel the entire order when it is justified).
-
In rare circumstances where we find it appropriate, our Customer Support team may cancel a completed order even after 14 days have passed from its completion. In such cases, the amounts paid for the canceled order will be returned to the Buyer’s Zimmi Wallet and will be deducted from the Seller’s Zimmi Wallet or, if there are no sufficient amounts in the Seller’s Zimmi Wallet, from future revenues of such Seller.

Orders are not eligible to be canceled based on the quality of service/materials delivered by the Seller if the service was rendered as described in the Service Page. You may rate your experience with the Seller, including the overall level of service quality received.
-
Any non-permitted usage of Zimmi encountered during an Order, after being reviewed by our Customer Support team, may result in the order being canceled. This includes, but not limited to; harassment, unlawful behavior, or other violations of Zimmi’s Terms of Service.

Zimmi Customer Support will cancel orders based on, but not limited to, the following reasons:
Active orders (after requirements were submitted to the Seller and before the Seller delivers on Zimmi):
-
The Seller is late and unresponsive for more than 24 hours.
-
Users are abusive towards the other party through threats of low ratings or leveraging order materials (such as logins, personal information) against each other.

Users supplied or included copyright/trademark infringing materials as part of their requirements or the Seller’s delivery.
-
The user is no longer an active Zimmi user due to Terms of Service violations or closure of their account.

The Seller delivers no files and/or proof of work related to the agreed upon order requirements. Note: Subjectivity of the materials in question will be reviewed by our Customer Support team.

Chargebacks
Zimmi reviews cases of payment provider chargebacks and disputes on behalf of Sellers. Although results vary per case due to each chargeback reason, we work hard on resolving disputes in the Seller’s favor. If the chargeback case allows, Zimmi (or one of Zimmi’s Payment Services Providers) will return parts or full revenue back to Sellers, otherwise the chargeback amount will be borne by the Seller.
Refunds
-
Zimmi does not automatically refund payments made for canceled orders back to your payment provider. Funds from order cancellations are returned to the Buyer's Zimmi Balance and are available for future purchases on Zimmi. Zimmi returns service fees to your Zimmi Wallet once an order is canceled. In any event, if the service fees were not returned to your Zimmi Balance following an order cancelation, such service fees’ amount will be exempted from your next purchase on Zimmi.
-
Deposit refunds (i.e. refunds directly to your payment provider) can be performed by our Customer Support team, based on the Order’s original payment amount and currency. To prevent fraud and abuse, we limit the total amount of times users can request a payment provider refund, which is subject to review by our Customer Support team. Such refunds may be subject to an additional fee.
