a) Setting Rates: Experts are responsible for setting their own rates for answering questions on the PAAQ platform. These rates should be clearly indicated on their profile and can be adjusted as needed. PAAQ does not set or cap the rates; it is up to each expert to determine the value of their services.

b) Payment Processing: Payments for services rendered by experts are processed through the PAAQ platform. When a user makes a payment for a question, the funds are held in the expert’s PAAQ Wallet until the question-and-answer transaction is completed.

c) Withdrawal of Funds: Experts can withdraw their earnings from the PAAQ Wallet to their bank account via the integrated payout platform, Stripe. The minimum withdrawal amount is $10 for standard transactions and $100 for PayPal transactions. Funds are available for withdrawal only after the expert has provided the agreed-upon services.

d) Fees and Commissions: PAAQ charges a twenty percent (20%) commission on all earnings or funds available for withdrawal in the expert’s wallet. This fee is deducted from the total amount being transferred from the PAAQ Wallet to the expert’s bank account or PayPal account. PAAQ reserves the right to modify such commission at any time with or without notice.

e) Payment Timing: Once an expert requests a payout, the funds are transferred according to Stripe’s processing times. Experts are advised to refer to Stripe’s policies for specific details on timing and any potential delays.

f) Pending Payments: Funds from user payments are held in a pending state in the expert’s PAAQ Wallet until the expert has successfully completed the question-and-answer transaction.

g) Refunds and Disputes: If an expert fails to answer a question within the designated 48-hour timeframe, the user is entitled to a refund for that question. In such cases, the funds will be returned to the user’s PAAQ Wallet. Experts

h) Failing to Answer all Questions:If you fail to answer all the questions in a Question-andAnswer session, you will only be compensated for the questions you did answer. For example, if you agreed to answer 10 questions for a rate of $100 but only answered 5 questions, your compensation will be calculated based on the answered questions. In this case, you would receive $50 for the 5 questions you answered. Unanswered questions will not be compensated, and the corresponding funds will be refunded to the user.

i) Tax Responsibilities: Experts are responsible for determining and fulfilling any tax obligations that arise from their earnings on the PAAQ platform. Unless required by the applicable law, PAAQ does not withhold any taxes on behalf of experts and advises experts to consult with a tax professional to ensure compliance with local tax laws.

Any such actions will result in immediate disciplinary measures, including potential suspension or termination of the expert’s account.
