5. We Find the Talent Service Terms
The "We Find the Talent" service is governed by the following terms, in addition to the general Terms herein. The specific Total Service Fee, Deposit Amount, and Remaining Balance applicable to your purchase are those displayed on the Website at the time of purchase.
5.1 Customer’s Required Recruitment Platform Account
The We Find the Talent service requires the Customer to maintain an active subscription or account with one or more recruitment, freelance, or virtual assistant sourcing platforms approved by Lypad Academy (each, a “Recruitment Platform”), in the Customer’s own name and for the Customer’s own business. Lypad Academy may perform candidate sourcing, screening, and presentation work using the Customer’s Recruitment Platform account(s), with the Customer’s permission and credentials, in compliance with the applicable platform’s terms of service.
The Customer acknowledges and agrees that:
Any Recruitment Platform account used for the service is owned and operated by the Customer for the Customer’s own business purposes;
The Customer is responsible for all costs associated with any Recruitment Platform subscription or usage fees, subject to any applicable credits described elsewhere in this Agreement;
Lypad Academy’s access to the Customer’s account(s) is limited to performing the placement assistance work described in this Section;
The Customer remains the sole authorized owner and primary user of the account(s) and may revoke Lypad Academy’s access at any time;
The Customer is responsible for compliance with all applicable third-party platform terms of service;
The Customer is solely responsible for any decisions made on the platform(s), including communications with applicants, hiring decisions, and ongoing relationships with virtual assistants or candidates.
If the Customer does not have an active account with a Recruitment Platform approved by Lypad Academy, Lypad Academy will provide guidance on creating one. Placement assistance work cannot begin until the Customer’s account is active and Lypad Academy has been granted the necessary access permissions.
5.2 Deposit and Payment Structure
The We Find the Talent service is structured as a Deposit and Remaining Balance:
Non-refundable Deposit of Two Hundred US Dollars ($200), due at the time of purchase. This Deposit secures Lypad Academy's commitment to begin the candidate search and is non-refundable except as expressly provided in Section 5.5.
Remaining Balance, due only upon Customer's acceptance of a candidate presented by Lypad Academy.
The specific dollar amounts for the Deposit, Remaining Balance, and Total Service Fee are as displayed on the Website at the time of purchase and may change from time to time, including in connection with promotional pricing.
5.3 Initial Candidate Search
Upon receipt of the Deposit and the Customer’s completed intake form (which Lypad Academy will provide), Lypad Academy will:
Review applicants based on the Customer’s stated requirements using the Customer’s recruitment platform account(s) and other approved sourcing channels;
Conduct first-round interviews, personality and IQ assessments, and hardware and internet speed verification; and
Present the top two (2) candidates that Lypad Academy reasonably determines match the Customer’s requirements.
The initial service obligation is fulfilled upon presentation of two (2) qualified candidates. Customer acknowledges that "qualified" is determined in Lypad Academy's professional judgment based on the Customer's stated requirements and Lypad Academy's screening process.
5.4 Customer Review and Second Round
Customer shall conduct interviews with the presented candidates in a timely manner (no later than fourteen (14) days after presentation, unless otherwise agreed in writing).
If Customer determines that neither presented candidate is suitable, Customer must notify Lypad Academy in writing within seven (7) days of completing the interviews. Upon such notification, Lypad Academy may, at its discretion, conduct a second round of searching for up to fourteen (14) additional days and present up to two (2) additional candidates.
5.5 Termination of Service
If after the second round of candidates the Customer determines that no presented candidate is suitable, the parties may terminate the service. Upon such termination:
Customer shall not be required to pay the Remaining Balance;
The Deposit of Two Hundred US Dollars ($200) is retained by Lypad Academy as compensation for the search and screening work performed;
Customer retains all bonus modules of HireUp and any other digital content already delivered;
Customer retains the unused portion of the Recruitment Platform Credit, if applicable;
Neither party shall have any further obligation to the other with respect to the placement assistance service.
If Lypad Academy is unable to identify any candidates matching the Customer's stated requirements during the initial search, the Deposit will be refunded in full and the parties' obligations under the placement assistance service will terminate.
5.6 Acceptance of a Candidate
If Customer accepts a candidate presented by Lypad Academy (whether from the first or second round), Customer becomes obligated to pay the Remaining Balance. Lypad Academy will then facilitate the formal handoff between Customer and the selected candidate, after which the Customer is solely responsible for managing the working relationship, including hiring, onboarding, training, payment to the virtual assistant, and ongoing management.
5.7 Recruitment Platform Credit
To offset the cost of the Customer’s required recruitment platform subscription or account, Lypad Academy may provide a credit of up to seventy-five U.S. dollars ($75) toward the Customer’s subscription or platform expense (“Recruitment Platform Credit”). This Credit may apply to any other recruiting, freelance, or sourcing platform approved or designated by Lypad Academy. The Credit will be applied either as a direct reimbursement upon proof of payment, or as an equivalent discount on the Total Service Fee at checkout, at Lypad Academy’s discretion.
The Recruitment Platform Credit:
Is limited to a maximum of US$75 total per Customer per service purchase, regardless of the number of platforms used;
Is provided as a one-time benefit per Customer per service purchase;
Has no cash value if the Customer does not maintain or use an eligible recruitment platform subscription or account;
Is non-transferable;
May be modified, increased, decreased, or discontinued at Lypad Academy’s discretion at any time, with the Credit applicable to a given purchase being that displayed at the time of purchase.
5.8 Independent Contractor Relationship; No Employment
Lypad Academy is a placement assistance service only. Any virtual assistant ("VA") hired by Customer through this service is an independent third party and is not an employee, agent, or representative of Lypad Academy. Customer acknowledges and agrees that:
The working relationship between Customer and the hired VA is solely between those two parties;
Lypad Academy is not responsible for the VA's performance, conduct, attendance, work product, or compliance with applicable law;
Lypad Academy makes no warranty, express or implied, regarding the VA's continued availability, performance, or suitability after placement;
Customer is solely responsible for collecting any required tax documentation (W-9, W-8BEN, etc.), entering into independent contractor agreements, and complying with all applicable employment, tax, and labor laws;
Lypad Academy disclaims all liability for any actions, omissions, damages, or losses arising from or related to the placed VA's conduct.
5.9 No Guarantee of VA Retention
Lypad Academy does not guarantee that any placed VA will remain available, perform satisfactorily, or continue working with Customer for any specific period. The placement assistance fee is for the search and screening service only, not for any ongoing performance guarantee. If a placed VA discontinues working with Customer for any reason, Customer is not entitled to a replacement, refund, or additional service unless Lypad Academy expressly agrees in writing.
6. “Lypad Complete” Bundle Terms
The “Lypad Complete” bundle is governed by the following terms in addition to the general Terms herein. The specific bundle price included Service values, and any promotional discounts are as displayed on the Website at the time of purchase.
6.1 Payment
The full bundle price is due at the time of purchase. No deposit structure applies; payment is in full upfront.
6.2 Inclusions
“Lypad Complete” Bundle includes:
ScaleUp course — lifetime access
HireUp course — lifetime access
We Find & Train the Talent service
An extended complimentary subscription period to the Creator Leverage Guild
A Recruitment Platform Credit as described in Section 6.7
The standalone values of each component, as well as the total bundle price, are as displayed on the Website at the time of purchase.
6.3 Customer’s Required Recruitment Platform Account
Like the standalone We Find the Talent service, the placement and training portion of the Lypad Complete bundle requires the Customer to maintain an active account or subscription with one or more recruitment, freelance, or virtual assistant sourcing platforms, or other platforms approved or designated by Lypad Academy, in the Customer’s own name and for the Customer’s own business. The terms of Section 5.1 apply equally to the bundle.
6.4 Service Component (We Find & Train the Talent)
The placement and training portion of the bundle follows substantially the same process as described in Section 5 (We Find the Talent), with the addition of an intensive 40-hour hands-on training program for the placed VA. The same candidate search, presentation, second-round process, and termination procedures apply, using the Customer's Recruitment Platform account.
6.5 Bundle Refund Policy
Customer may cancel a Lypad Complete bundle purchase for any reason within twenty-four (24) hours of the original purchase date and receive a full refund, provided that the Customer has not materially accessed, downloaded, completed, or used the included courses, services, training, candidate sourcing activities, or other bundle benefits. Requests for cancellation under this provision must be submitted in writing to [email protected] within the applicable twenty-four (24) hour period.
If, after the second round of candidates as described in Section 5.4, the Customer determines that no candidate is suitable and the parties terminate the placement assistance service:
• Customer retains lifetime access to the ScaleUp and HireUp courses;
• Customer retains any Creator Leverage Guild subscription benefits already received;
• Lypad Academy will issue a partial refund calculated as follows:
Refund Amount = Bundle Price Paid − Search and Screening Fee ($200)
Standalone prices used in the refund calculation are the prices displayed on the Website at the time of the original bundle purchase. This calculation reflects the standalone value of the courses Customer is keeping plus a $200 deduction for the search and screening work performed by Lypad Academy.
If Lypad Academy is unable to identify any candidates matching the Customer's stated requirements during the initial search, the Search and Screening Fee deduction is waived (i.e., the refund is increased by $200), as no substantial search work occurred.
If Customer accepts a candidate presented by Lypad Academy (whether from the first or second round), the bundle is deemed fully delivered and no refund is available.
6.6 No Refund After Acceptance
Once Customer accepts a placed VA, the bundle is deemed fully fulfilled. No refunds will be issued thereafter for any reason, including dissatisfaction with the VA's subsequent performance, the VA discontinuing the relationship, or Customer's change of mind.
6.7 Recruitment Platform Credit
To offset the cost of the Customer’s required recruitment platform subscription or account, Lypad Complete bundle includes a credit of up to seventy-five U.S. dollars ($75) toward the Customer’s eligible recruitment platform expense (“Recruitment Platform Credit”). This Credit may apply to any recruiting, freelance, or sourcing platform approved or designated by Lypad Academy. The Credit will be applied either as a direct reimbursement upon proof of payment, or as an equivalent discount on the bundle price at checkout, at Lypad Academy’s discretion. The terms of Section 5.7 governing the Recruitment Platform Credit apply equally to the bundle.
6.8 Course Components Refund Policy
The course components included within the bundle, including ScaleUp and HireUp, are subject to the Course Refund Policy described in Section 4, including the applicable thirty (30) day refund period and related limitations.
Refund availability under Section 6.5 applies separately to the placement assistance service portion of the bundle. Any refund calculation under Section 6.5 may account for the standalone value of course components that the Customer retains access to following the refund determination.
7. Course Access and License
Upon purchase of a course (HireUp, ScaleUp, or any course included in the Lypad Complete bundle), Lypad Academy grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and view the course content for your personal, non-commercial use only.
