The Agreement is between you, as an expert (“You” or “Expert”), and Kajabi, LLC (“Kajabi”). Each of Expert and Kajabi may be referred to as a “Party”, and together as the “Parties”. You can review the current version of the Agreement at any time at www.kajabi.com/policies/experts-marketplace-agreement. Kajabi reserves the right to update and change the Agreement by posting updates and changes here: www.kajabi.com/policies/experts-marketplace-agreement.

This Agreement governs Your participation in the Experts Marketplace. By agreeing to participate in the Experts Marketplace, You agree with and accept all of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, and Kajabi’s other policies, including but not limited to Kajabi’s Platform Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy, and Privacy Policy, all of which are included in our Legal and Policy Center (collectively, “Kajabi’s Policies”). For the avoidance of doubt, all such Kajabi Policies form part of this Agreement and are incorporated by reference. If You accept this Agreement on behalf of a company or other entity, You represent and warrant that You have the authority to accept and enter into this Agreement on its behalf.
The following terms apply to the Experts Marketplace.

“Expert” is an independent third party that has been accepted by Kajabi into the Experts Marketplace to offer its services to Heroes and can publish a profile offering services to Heroes.
“Experts Marketplace” means Kajabi’s online directory of independent third parties that provide Heroes with specific service offerings that can help Heroes build and operate their Kajabi Site.

“Service Contract” means the agreement entered into between an Expert and the Hero governing the Hero’s use of the Expert’s services.
From time to time Kajabi may designate “Experts” to be enrolled in and provided access to have their services listed in the Experts Marketplace. Experts who meet the criteria may apply to become a Kajabi Expert at any time, however the granting of an Expert designation is entirely within Kajabi’s discretion.
A description of the Experts Marketplace is available at: https://experts.kajabi.com. Experts must follow all Kajabi guidelines set out here as well as in the Experts Marketplace Guidelines to continue to access the Experts Marketplace.
Experts may apply to be included in the Experts Marketplace, which is a marketplace via an online platform where Experts and Heroes can identify each other and advertise, buy, and sell services (the “Experts Marketplace”). Kajabi will host and maintain the Experts Marketplace to enable users to find one another, enter into service agreements, receive and provide Expert services, make and receive payments, manage projects, and message one another. Experts must apply to be listed on the Experts Marketplace. Your listing will describe Your experience and the services that You can provide to Heroes who request the same (collectively, “Services”).
You will be solely responsible for providing and uploading to the Experts Marketplace the listing information concerning your business; the services you may provide in connection thereto (the “Services”); areas in which you specialize; and any other information relevant to your business and/or your provision of Services (collectively, the “Listing”). You hereby verify that any and all information that you provide in connection with Your Listing, whether voluntarily or upon request, is true and correct to the best of Your knowledge, and You agree to correct or remove any false assertions immediately upon learning that they are false, either by uploading corrected information or requesting that Kajabi make such corrections.
You will promptly provide any information reasonably requested by Kajabi for purposes of verifying information that you have uploaded in connection with the Listing.
4.1 Communications
Heroes may create projects in the Experts Marketplace (each a “Project” or “Project Brief”). Experts can then respond to Projects via the Experts Marketplace.
Expert agrees that it may only communicate with a Hero via the Experts Marketplace, other than live (including via Zoom or phone calls) meetings. Expert acknowledges and agrees that Kajabi receives and can review all communications exchanged between Expert and Hero via the Experts Marketplace. As a participant in the Experts Marketplace, Expert consents to being contacted by Heroes at the email address provided by Expert to Kajabi.
4.2 Compliance with Laws
In addition to, and without limiting the provisions of this Agreement, Expert will perform its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the highest applicable industry standards and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including obtaining any licenses required in order for Expert to operate and to offer the Services associated with Expert’s participation in the Experts Marketplace.
Expert represents and warrants that none of Expert, its subsidiaries, or any director or officer thereof, is, or is owned or controlled by individuals or entities that are: (i) the target of any sanctions administered or enforced by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Asset Control or the U.S. State Department, the United Nations Security Council, the European Union or Her Majesty’s Treasury (collectively, “Sanctions”); or (ii) located, organized, or resident in a country or territory that is the subject of comprehensive territorial Sanctions.
4.4 Other Expert Terms and Representations
The services provided by an Expert via the Experts Marketplace are the responsibility of the Expert and not of Kajabi. It is the Expert’s responsibility to ensure that there is a Service Contract in place between the Expert and the Hero for the services to be provided by the Expert to the Hero, and that the Service Contract includes all desired terms including appropriate remedies in the event of non-payment by Hero for services rendered by Expert.
Expert must have an active PayPal account in which to receive payment under any Service Contract. This is the only method in which Kajabi will facilitate payments to Expert in the Experts Marketplace. If you do not currently have a PayPal account, you can sign up here https://www.paypal.com/us/home.
Beginning in February 2023, Kajabi will begin charging Experts a commission fee of no more than 20% of the amount you charge for your Services (“Commission”). Kajabi may change the Commission charged to you at any time and will communicate any changes to you in advance. The Commission reflects fair exchange of value for investment in helping to reduce your marketing and operational costs of finding and working with Kajabi Heroes. The Expert is then entitled to all amounts collected from Heroes through the Experts Marketplace, less the Commission Kajabi will retain together with any applicable taxes on Kajabi’s fees.
You will not be compensated by Kajabi in any manner in connection with the Listing or the Services. All compensation for your Services will be between you and the Hero to which you are providing Services. All Experts must use the invoicing system embedded within the Experts Marketplace to charge Heroes for Projects unless otherwise agreed to by Kajabi in writing. After the Hero has paid the invoice, you will receive a notification and will receive the payment (minus the Commission and any applicable taxes) within ten (10) days of Kajabi’s receipt of payment. Expert is responsible for all applicable taxes that arise from or as a result of payment of fees from Hero to Expert.
6.1 Proprietary Rights of Kajabi
As between Expert and Kajabi, all information relating to Kajabi’s products and services, and all software, documentation, hardware, equipment, devices, templates, tools, documents, processes, methodologies, know-how, websites, and any additional intellectual or other property used by or on behalf of Kajabi or otherwise related to Kajabi’s services, the Experts Marketplace, together with all copyrights, Kajabi Trademarks, patents, trade secrets, and any other proprietary rights inherent therein and appurtenant thereto (collectively, “Kajabi Property”) will be and remain the sole and exclusive property of Kajabi. To the extent, if any, that ownership of any Kajabi Property does not automatically vest in Kajabi by virtue of this Agreement, or otherwise, and vests in Expert, Expert hereby transfers and assigns to Kajabi, upon the creation thereof, all rights, title, and interest Expert may have in and to such Kajabi Property (and waives any and all moral rights, as applicable), including the right to sue and recover for past, present, and future violations thereof. Expert’s participation in the Experts Marketplace does not grant to Expert any rights to use the Kajabi Trademarks or other intellectual property.
6.2 Kajabi’s Use of Expert’s Intellectual Property
Expert grants to Kajabi a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, and sub-licensable right and license to use and display in any manner Expert's trademarks, service marks, logos, trade names, copyrighted content, graphic files, images, and other intellectual property, in connection with and for the purpose of performing its obligations and exercising its rights under this Agreement. In addition, at Kajabi’s discretion, Kajabi may use any such intellectual property for the purposes of promoting or marketing Expert, Expert’s Services, the Experts Marketplace, Kajabi and its business, or as otherwise agreed to with Expert.
Heroes are able to submit reviews and ratings on their experiences with an Expert. An Expert’s rating is calculated based on reviews posted by Heroes. Experts may not solicit or permit reviews that are fake, inaccurate, irrelevant, misleading, being used improperly for commercial gain, posted in exchange for a financial or other gain, posted multiple times (whether from the same or more than one account), misleading as to the reviewer’s identity or their connection to the Expert being reviewed, or reviews that contain or link to prohibited or illegal content. Reviews are meant to be unbiased, useful, and trustworthy. Kajabi reserves the right to take any action it deems necessary in respect of an Expert engaged in any of this behavior, including the right (but not the obligation) to remove or edit reviews or remove Expert from the Experts Marketplace.
You (including anyone acting on your behalf) may not review or comment on your own Services, a Service owned by a company you work for, or those of competitors. As an exception, you may provide informational responses to support requests or other inquiries directed to you within the reviews or comments section of your listing.
8.1 You will process any personal data, including any Hero or Customer Information, received in connection with Your Services in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.
8.2 You will honor, or assist Kajabi in honoring, all data subject requests including any opt-out requests received regarding personal data processed in connection with your Listing in the Experts Marketplace.
8.3 You acknowledge that non-European Data Protection Legislation and/or European Data Protection Legislation may apply in connection with the processing of any personal data undertaken in relation to this Agreement, the Experts Marketplace or a Kajabi Hero or Customer. You will comply with all applicable laws, including Non-European Data Protection Legislation and European Data Protection Legislation.
