Terms and Conditions / Términos y Condiciones de MentorHood LATAM
Effective Date: October 19, 2025
Plain-Language Preamble — MentorHood LATAM is a social-impact technology platform that connects people with mentors, tools, and events for learning and growth. We are not an employer, recruiter, bank, or professional advisory service. Mentors operate independently; all results depend on your choices and effort. By using MentorHood, you agree we act only as an intermediary, that you remain responsible for your decisions, and that our liability is strictly limited as described below.
Effective Date: October 19, 2025
SECTION 1 — LEGAL HEADING AND ELECTRONIC ACCEPTANCE
1.1 Corporate Identity and Binding Effect
These Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") constitute a binding legal agreement between GreenChain Holdings LLC, a limited liability company duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America (Delaware File No. 561048), with its registered office at 16192 Coastal Highway, Lewes, Delaware 19958, United States (hereinafter referred to as "GreenChain," "MentorHood," "the Company," or "the Platform"), and any natural or legal person ("User," "you," or "your") who accesses, registers for, or uses www.mentorhoodlatam.com (the "Website") or any related application, tool, or service.
For all practical and legal purposes, the terms "GreenChain," "MentorHood," "the Platform," "the Website," and "the Company" refer to the same legal entity — GreenChain Holdings LLC (doing business as "MentorHood LATAM"), which owns, manages, and operates the MentorHood Platform and all associated products, services, and intellectual property.
GreenChain maintains its principal registration in Delaware, United States, and operates its engineering and development center in San José, Costa Rica, where the majority of operational, technical, and customer-support activities are coordinated.
For the avoidance of doubt, any legal or contractual dispute arising under these Terms shall, by default, be governed by and resolved under the laws of Costa Rica, as the Company's operational domicile, unless and until GreenChain notifies Users — through publication on the Platform — that jurisdiction has been relocated to Delaware or another jurisdiction where the Company is, or may in the future be, legally registered. Any such change shall apply only to future disputes, in accordance with Section 26 (Governing Law and Dispute Resolution).
By creating an account, clicking "I Agree," purchasing or offering a service, or otherwise accessing or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by these Terms. Such acceptance constitutes a valid and enforceable electronic signature under the U.S. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN Act), the EU Regulation (910/2014 – eIDAS), and analogous electronic-transaction laws worldwide, and is deemed the legal equivalent of a handwritten signature.
These Terms establish a direct contractual relationship between you and GreenChain Holdings LLC (doing business as MentorHood LATAM) and supersede any prior oral or written understandings related to your access or use of the Platform.
Effective Date: October 19, 2025
1.2 Scope of Application
These Terms govern all access to and use of the Platform and all related environments operated by GreenChain, including, without limitation:
- The MentorHood website, mobile applications, communication interfaces, and software tools;
- All artificial-intelligence features, APIs, or integrations provided by or through the Platform;
- All community forums, virtual or physical events, and mentorship-related activities; and
- All electronic communications (email, chat, notifications, or otherwise) exchanged through or concerning the Platform.
Any supplemental policies or agreements published by GreenChain — such as the Privacy Policy, Refund Policy, Cookie Policy, AI Responsible Use Policy, and Community Guidelines — form an integral part of these Terms. In the event of a conflict, these Terms shall prevail unless a policy explicitly states otherwise.
1.3 Electronic Consent and Contractual Effect
Your act of registration, login, purchase, or continued use of the Platform constitutes explicit electronic consent to these Terms and to all incorporated policies.
GreenChain may record and store your consent (including date, time, IP address, and technical identifiers) as legal evidence of acceptance. If you do not agree with these Terms, you must immediately discontinue all access to and use of the Platform.
Continuing to use MentorHood after the publication of any update constitutes renewed acceptance of the most recent version, effective as of the date of publication of the updated version.
1.4 Document Hierarchy and Version Control
- Precedence: These Terms take precedence over all other documents, policies, or communications, except where a specific policy expressly provides otherwise.
- Updates: GreenChain may amend, replace, or supplement these Terms at any time for reasons of legal compliance, operational efficiency, or security, in accordance with Section 25 (Changes and Updates).
- Supersession: Each new version supersedes all prior versions upon publication on the Platform.
- Governing Version: In any dispute, the version in effect on the date of the disputed event shall apply, subject to the governing-law and arbitration provisions in Section 26 (Governing Law and Dispute Resolution).
- Recordkeeping: GreenChain maintains an auditable version history and may provide the effective version date as proof of terms binding at any given time.
1.5 Plain-Language Notice
These Terms establish a legally enforceable agreement between you and GreenChain Holdings LLC (doing business as "MentorHood LATAM"), owner and operator of www.mentorhoodlatam.com.
Please review them carefully. By using the Platform, you acknowledge your understanding of, and consent to, all obligations, limitations, and liabilities set forth herein.
SECTION 2 — MISSION, NATURE AND INTERMEDIARY ROLE
2.1 Social-Impact Purpose
GreenChain Holdings LLC (doing business as "MentorHood LATAM"), owner and operator of www.mentorhoodlatam.com (the "Platform"), was founded to advance education, professional growth, and personal well-being across Latin America and beyond.
Its purpose is to connect individuals seeking guidance ("Members") with independent mentors, coaches, and experts ("Mentors") who offer learning experiences, advice, and digital resources designed to improve employability, performance, and self-development.
MentorHood's mission is to democratize access to knowledge, expand professional opportunity, and foster ethical collaboration — without acting as a financial institution, employer, recruiter, or advisor.
2.2 Strict Intermediary Nature
MentorHood operates exclusively as a technology platform and communications intermediary. Accordingly:
- MentorHood does not offer, perform, or control mentorship, education, consulting, or advisory services;
- MentorHood is not a bank, credit institution, investment advisor, recruiter, employment agency, staffing firm, nor a party to any arrangement formed between Mentors and Members;
- MentorHood does not hire, manage, compensate, supervise, or evaluate Mentors, nor provide training materials or instructions regarding their conduct or performance; and
- MentorHood's sole role is to maintain digital infrastructure that allows independent parties to find each other, exchange information, and transact securely through integrated third-party payment systems.
Nothing in these Terms shall be construed to create an employment, partnership, agency, fiduciary, or joint-venture relationship between MentorHood and any User.
2.3 No Real-Time Monitoring or Endorsement
MentorHood does not monitor, pre-screen, or verify mentor sessions, communications, or user interactions in real time.
Any profiles, listings, or content displayed on the Platform are posted by independent users and do not constitute review, approval, or endorsement by GreenChain Holdings LLC.
MentorHood may, in its discretion, remove or restrict content that violates law, these Terms, or community standards; such moderation does not imply responsibility or control over users' communications or materials.
2.4 User Autonomy and Assumption of Risk
Each User — whether Mentor or Member — acknowledges that:
- All engagements, transactions, and communications occur at the Users' sole discretion and risk;
- MentorHood does not guarantee the availability, competence, credentials, or integrity of any Mentor or Member;
- MentorHood does not validate or supervise the substance, quality, or timing of any mentorship or program; and
- Any action based on information obtained through the Platform is a personal and voluntary decision made solely by the User.
Users remain entirely responsible for verifying the suitability, qualifications, and reliability of other participants before entering into any transaction or reliance relationship.
2.5 No Guarantees of Outcomes or Results
MentorHood provides access to information, tools, and community spaces without any promise or warranty of success, improvement, employment, or measurable outcome.
All mentorships, programs, and digital products are offered "as is" and "as available."
To the fullest extent permitted by law, GreenChain Holdings LLC and MentorHood disclaim any and all representations, warranties, or guarantees, express or implied, regarding:
- Accuracy or completeness of information shared by Users;
- Effectiveness of mentorship, guidance, or training received;
- Fitness for a particular professional or personal purpose; and
- Availability or reliability of Platform functions or third-party integrations.
Users accept full responsibility for the results of their participation, including any personal, financial, or professional consequences arising from reliance on or application of content obtained through MentorHood.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, MentorHood shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of the Platform or reliance on any content.
2.6 Preservation of Neutrality
MentorHood is and will continue to be content-neutral, user-driven, and non-editorial.
Any opinions or statements expressed by Mentors, Members, or third-party contributors belong solely to their respective authors and do not reflect the views or positions of GreenChain Holdings LLC.
MentorHood neither dictates curriculum nor influences outcomes, ensuring its continued legal status as a neutral intermediary for communication and commerce.

By accepting these Terms, each User represents and warrants that they satisfy all eligibility conditions, are of legal age, and are acting in full compliance with all fiscal, commercial, and legal requirements of their country or any jurisdiction in which they operate.
GreenChain may request supporting documentation at any time to confirm compliance.
5.2 Registration and Account Accuracy

- maintain and promptly update information to keep it accurate and verifiable;
- maintain sole control and confidentiality over login credentials; and
- accept full responsibility for all actions performed under their account, whether or not authorized by them.
MentorHood may record and retain registration data, metadata, and activity logs to satisfy internal audit, compliance, and risk-management obligations.
GreenChain shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from a User's failure to maintain accurate information or secure credentials.
5.3 Verification, KYC, and AML Compliance
GreenChain reserves the absolute right — but assumes no obligation — to conduct Know Your Customer ("KYC") and Anti-Money Laundering ("AML") checks on any User, directly or through third-party verification providers.
Such procedures may include:
- validation of identity, address, nationality, or date of birth;
- confirmation of business registration, tax status, or beneficial ownership;
- screening against international sanctions and watchlists (including OFAC, EU, UN, and other governmental authorities); and
- review of transaction history, payment methods, or behavioral indicators for risk assessment.
By registering, Users expressly authorize GreenChain and its partners to collect, process, and share relevant information for verification purposes.
Users consent to the cross-border transfer and storage of such data in accordance with applicable privacy laws. Failure, refusal, or delay in completing verification — or any adverse result — may result in suspension, restriction, or permanent termination of access under Section 21 (Suspension and Termination).
5.4 Sanctions and Restricted Jurisdictions
Users affirm that they are not:
- located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any country or territory subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions or other trade restrictions (as listed by OFAC, the U.N., or the E.U.);
- named on any U.S. Treasury Department Specially Designated Nationals ("SDN") or other prohibited-party list; or
- using the Platform for, or on behalf of, any entity or individual identified in such sanctions lists.
GreenChain may restrict or block access to the Platform from sanctioned or high-risk jurisdictions at its sole discretion and without prior notice. Such determinations are final and not subject to appeal.
(See Section 29 — Sanctions and Export Controls.)
5.5 Right to Refuse, Suspend, or Expel Users
GreenChain reserves the absolute and unconditional right to:
- decline any registration request, without obligation to provide justification;
- suspend, restrict, or terminate any account at any time if GreenChain believes the User poses legal, reputational, operational, or financial risk;
- delay or withhold any payments or benefits pending completion of verification or investigation; and
- remove access to specific features, data, or content, temporarily or permanently, at its sole discretion.
GreenChain shall have no obligation to provide explanation, compensation, or liability for any decision made under this clause. All such actions are deemed reasonable measures to preserve the integrity, security, and compliance of the Platform.
5.6 Cooperation and Audit Trail
Users agree to cooperate with any audit, review, or regulatory inquiry initiated by GreenChain or competent authorities.
MentorHood may retain identity and verification records, including logs of data sources and decision outputs, for the period required to satisfy applicable legal, tax, and compliance obligations.
Such retention does not create any fiduciary duty or privacy expectation beyond those stated in Section 13 (Confidentiality and Privacy).
5.7 Representations and Continuing Obligations
By using the Platform, Users acknowledge and represent that:
- they act solely on their own behalf and not for or on behalf of any prohibited third party;
- their use of the Platform does not violate any law or regulation, including anti-corruption, AML, or export-control laws; and
- they promptly notify GreenChain of any change in their legal, fiscal, or residency status that may affect compliance.
Any misrepresentation or breach of these warranties constitutes immediate grounds for suspension or termination of access.
SECTION 6 — ACCOUNT SECURITY AND USER RESPONSIBILITY
6.1 Sole Responsibility for Account Credentials
Each User is solely and entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and control of all credentials associated with their account on www.mentorhoodlatam.com (the "Platform"), including usernames, passwords, authentication codes, tokens, and any linked device.
GreenChain Holdings LLC ("GreenChain") shall have no responsibility or liability for any unauthorized access, activity, loss, or damage arising from a User's failure to secure such credentials.
Accounts are strictly personal and non-transferable. Users may not assign, share, rent, sublicense, or otherwise permit third-party access to their account under any circumstance.
Any action or transaction performed through a validly authenticated session shall be deemed authorized by the account holder and legally binding on that User.
6.2 Authentication and Recommended Protections
For enhanced security, GreenChain requires, or may require, activation of two-factor authentication (2FA) or equivalent multi-factor protection methods.
Users are expected to implement robust security measures, including:
- using strong, unique passwords not reused across services;
- updating authentication devices or applications promptly;
- logging out of sessions when using shared or public devices; and
- regularly reviewing account activity and notification settings.
Failure to adopt reasonable safeguards, including 2FA when available, constitutes negligence by the User, and GreenChain disclaims any liability for resulting breaches or losses.
6.3 Immediate Incident Reporting
Users must immediately notify GreenChain in writing via the official security contact channel at soporte@mentorhoodlatam.com if they suspect or become aware of:
- unauthorized access or use of their account;
- compromise or theft of credentials or authentication devices; or
- any breach or potential breach affecting Platform data or functionality.
Timely reporting is essential to enable GreenChain to mitigate risk. Delays, omissions, or incomplete information from the User relieve GreenChain of any responsibility for subsequent damages or unauthorized actions.
6.4 Prohibited Practices
Without limitation, Users shall not:
- share login credentials or allow multiple persons to access the same account;
- use credentials belonging to another User or entity;
- attempt to gain unauthorized access to another account or area of the Platform;
- disable, bypass, or tamper with security mechanisms or monitoring tools; or
- provide false or misleading information during identity verification or password recovery.
Violation of any of the above may result in immediate suspension or permanent termination of access, without refund or prior notice. See Section 21 — Suspension and Termination.
6.5 Liability for Account Activity
All actions, communications, uploads, or transactions conducted through a User's account or credentials—whether by the User or by a third party using those credentials—shall be irrevocably attributed to that User.
The User accepts full civil, administrative, and, where applicable, criminal liability for such activity.
GreenChain shall not be liable for:
- any unauthorized use of credentials;
- any interception or loss of data during transmission; or
- any damage resulting from password compromise, phishing, malware, or negligent behavior by the User or their agents.
The User hereby releases and agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless GreenChain, its affiliates, officers, and employees from all claims, damages, or expenses arising out of or related to account misuse or security failures under their control.
6.6 Platform-Initiated Security Actions
GreenChain may, without prior notice and at its sole discretion:
- require password resets or re-authentication;
- temporarily freeze or restrict account functionality;
- invalidate sessions or tokens;
- investigate suspicious activity; or
- disable accounts permanently when compromise is suspected.
Such measures shall not be considered a breach of contract, and GreenChain shall not be liable for any resulting loss of data, income, or access.
6.7 Disclaimer of Liability and Risk Allocation
Users acknowledge that, despite industry-standard safeguards, no digital system is immune to compromise.
Accordingly, the Platform and its authentication mechanisms are provided "as is" and "as available."
GreenChain provides no warranty of absolute security, confidentiality, or error-free operation.
The User assumes all risk associated with electronic communication, credential storage, and access management.
SECTION 7 — USER TYPES AND ROLES (A vs. B)
7.1 User Categories and Role Definition
To ensure operational clarity and legal certainty, www.mentorhoodlatam.com (the "Platform") recognizes two distinct categories of Users ("Users," collectively) who interact exclusively through the Platform's technological infrastructure, subject to these Terms:
- User Type A — "Mentors." Independent professionals, coaches, trainers, educators, or subject-matter experts who create, advertise, and deliver mentorship sessions, educational programs, digital products, or events to Members.
- User Type B — "Members" or "Buyers." Individuals or organizations that browse, purchase, book, or participate in mentorships, programs, or events offered by Mentors through the Platform.
Each User Type acts independently and on its own behalf. No other relationship—employment, partnership, franchise, joint venture, or agency—is created or implied by virtue of participation on the Platform.
7.2 Status of Mentors (User Type A)
Mentors are and shall remain independent providers who conduct their professional activities entirely at their own risk and discretion.
Accordingly:
- No Employment or Agency. Mentors are not employees, agents, representatives, or partners of GreenChain Holdings LLC ("GreenChain") or the Platform. Nothing herein shall be construed to create any employment, joint-venture, franchise, or agency relationship;
- Independent Control. Mentors decide how, when, and under what terms to design, price, and deliver their Services. GreenChain does not supervise, train, manage, evaluate, or guarantee Mentors' performance or compliance with Member expectations;
- No Authority to Bind. Mentors have no authority—express or implied—to act on behalf of, or to bind, GreenChain or MentorHood in any transaction, representation, or statement;
- Regulatory & Tax Responsibility. Mentors are individually responsible for all licenses, permits, registrations, tax filings, and insurance required under their applicable laws; and
- Direct Dealings with Members. All mentorships, products, and events are contracts solely between the Mentor and the Member (See Section 7.3 — Relationship Between Mentors and Members), with GreenChain acting only as a neutral intermediary and limited payment facilitator as described in (See Section 9 — Payments and Transactions).
Mentors acknowledge that any description, content, or representation they publish on the Platform constitutes their own offer and undertaking, not that of GreenChain or MentorHood.
7.3 Relationship Between Mentors and Members
All Services purchased, booked, or attended through the Platform constitute a direct commercial relationship between the Mentor (User Type A) and the Member (User Type B).
GreenChain and MentorHood are not parties to that contractual arrangement, do not draft, negotiate, perform, or guarantee its terms, and assume no responsibility for execution, results, or quality.
MentorHood's role is strictly limited to providing the digital interface, technical hosting, and limited payment-collection functions described in (See Section 9 — Payments and Transactions).
Payment Custody Clarification. Payments initiated on or through the Platform are processed by Stripe, Inc. (or its affiliates) as an independent, licensed third-party payment service provider (PSP) headquartered in the United States. For operational reasons, funds routed through the Platform may be received on behalf of the underlying transaction by GreenChain Holdings LLC and are then disbursed to the applicable Mentor pursuant to settlement timelines, holds, reserves, chargebacks, reversals, and compliance reviews governed by Stripe's rules and Section 9. MentorHood/GreenChain does not accept deposits, hold funds in custody, operate escrow or trust accounts, or provide money-transmission services beyond facilitation via such PSPs. Title to and risk in funds remain with the Mentor and/or Member, as applicable; no fiduciary, custodial, or bailment relationship is created with MentorHood/GreenChain. Processing locations, bank partners, and payout networks are determined by the PSP and may vary by jurisdiction, currency, and risk profile, as further described in Section 9.
No privity of contract arises between GreenChain and any Member or Mentor regarding the performance or outcome of Services delivered by Mentors.
Members therefore understand that their legal recourse regarding a Service's content, delivery, or outcome lies exclusively against the Mentor who provided it.
7.4 Status of Members (User Type B)
Members are individuals or entities who use the Platform to discover, purchase, or access Mentors' Services.
Members acknowledge and agree that:
- MentorHood does not provide mentorship, training, or consulting services directly;
- MentorHood does not vet, guarantee, or endorse any Mentor, program, or outcome;
- all decisions to purchase or rely upon a Service are made at the Member's sole risk; and
- Members remain responsible for ensuring that participation in any mentorship or event complies with their personal, professional, or legal obligations.
MentorHood provides the communication and transactional framework only and disclaims all warranties or representations concerning any content, product, or Service offered by Mentors.
7.5 Platform Neutrality and Absence of Control
GreenChain and its Platform operate strictly as a technological intermediary and communications facilitator.
Nothing in these Terms shall be interpreted as:
- granting GreenChain control over Mentors' pricing, curriculum, or conduct;
- imposing any obligation on GreenChain to monitor or supervise Mentor-Member interactions in real time; or
- creating liability for any statements, commitments, or representations made by Users to each other.
The Platform's rating systems, profile pages, or visibility algorithms are automated and neutral mechanisms designed for user experience—not for supervision, certification, or quality assurance.
7.6 Disclaimer of Liability for Role Misunderstanding
To the fullest extent permitted by law:
- GreenChain disclaims all liability for any misunderstanding, dispute, or loss arising from Users' mistaken assumption of an employment, partnership, or agent-principal relationship;
- no compensation, indemnity, or benefit normally associated with employment or agency shall accrue to Mentors under any jurisdiction; and
- Users acknowledge that the Platform's operation is consistent with international marketplace standards defining intermediaries as technology facilitators only.
7.7 No Warranty or Guarantee of Outcomes
MentorHood provides access to independent Mentors but does not guarantee any learning, financial, professional, or personal outcome from participation in Services.
Results depend entirely on Users' own choices, engagement, and circumstances. MentorHood's role ends once the Platform successfully connects Users and processes the related Transaction under (See Section 9 — Payments and Transactions).
SECTION 8 — LISTING AND CONDUCT BY MENTORS (USERS A)
8.1 Truthful and Accurate Listings
Mentors (User Type A) are solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and lawfulness of all information, descriptions, pricing, and availability they publish on www.mentorhoodlatam.com (the "Platform").
Each Mentor represents and warrants that every listing, schedule, and promotional statement:
- Describes the Service honestly and without material omission or exaggeration;
- Accurately reflects scope, duration, deliverables, and qualifications;
- States prices, currencies, and refund conditions transparently;
- Specifies any prerequisites or limitations affecting participation; and
- Complies with all applicable consumer-protection, advertising, and tax laws.
MentorHood may, but is not obligated to, review listings for formatting or compliance purposes; such review shall not constitute approval, certification, or endorsement of the Mentor or their Service.
8.2 No Guarantee of Results or Performance
Mentors shall refrain from guaranteeing specific professional, educational, or financial outcomes.
All content and communications must emphasize that results depend on each Member's own actions and circumstances.
Any statement suggesting assured success, income, or transformation is strictly prohibited and may result in immediate suspension or removal under Section 21 (Suspension and Termination).
Mentors acknowledge that they, and not GreenChain Holdings LLC ("GreenChain"), bear sole liability for claims or disputes arising from representations made in their listings or communications.
8.3 Ownership and Intellectual-Property Assurances
Mentors represent and warrant that all materials, curricula, videos, guides, or other intellectual works they upload or deliver through the Platform (collectively, "Mentor Materials") are original or properly licensed for such use.
Mentors affirm that:
- They hold all rights necessary to grant Members access to Mentor Materials;

Mentors are expressly prohibited from:
- Soliciting or accepting payments, donations, or compensation outside the Platform for any Service, session, or continuation thereof;
- Circumventing the Platform's payment system, including directing Members to third-party links, personal accounts, or external messaging for the purpose of completing a transaction;
- Sharing contact information, links, or promotional material intended to divert Members away from the Platform's payment and booking infrastructure; or
- Entering into side agreements or informal arrangements designed to avoid Platform commissions or reporting obligations.

- Refrain from making medical, legal, or financial claims beyond their demonstrable expertise.
Mentors acknowledge that MentorHood is a professional environment focused on educational and developmental outcomes; any misconduct undermining that objective may trigger disciplinary action or permanent account removal.

Before purchasing, enrolling in, or attending any session, program, or event, the Member must review the entire Service description, schedule, prerequisites, and requirements to confirm personal compatibility, availability, and objectives.

Members expressly agree that:
- They will not rely on any information obtained through the Platform as the basis for professional, financial, or personal decisions;

MentorHood does not provide mentoring, professional consulting, or personalized assistance regarding Service content.

9.6 Assumption of Risk and Disclaimer
Participation in any mentorship, program, or event occurs at the Member's sole risk.
GreenChain and MentorHood disclaim all warranties—express, implied, or statutory—including any warranty of fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or expected result.

- Their reliance on Mentor statements or materials;
- Their participation or non-participation in any Service; or
- Their use, misuse, or inability to use Platform resources.
SECTION 10 — PAYMENTS, COMMISSION, FLOWS & HOLDS
10.1 Third-Party Payment Processing
All monetary transactions conducted through www.mentorhoodlatam.com (the "Platform") are processed exclusively through independent third-party payment processors compliant with applicable PCI-DSS or equivalent data-security standards (collectively, the "Payment Processors"), such as Stripe, Inc., PayPal, or their authorized affiliates.
GreenChain Holdings LLC ("GreenChain") does not directly process or store credit-card or banking information.
By using the Platform, each User authorizes GreenChain and its designated Payment Processors to collect, store, and transfer payment data strictly for the purpose of completing authorized transactions, refunds, or compliance reviews, (See Section 13 — Privacy and Data Use).
Users acknowledge that transactions may be subject to multi-currency conversion costs, foreign-exchange spreads, intermediary-bank deductions, and card-network fees beyond GreenChain's control. Such additional costs are borne solely by the User.
10.2 Platform Commission and Fee Adjustments
MentorHood retains a standard commission of ten percent (10%) of the gross amount of each transaction (the "Platform Commission") as consideration for providing technological infrastructure, marketing, and administrative services.
In addition to the Platform Commission, further third-party processing fees, taxes, or regulatory charges may apply depending on the User's jurisdiction and chosen payment method.
GreenChain reserves the absolute right, at any time and without prior notice, to modify the Platform Commission rate—either increasing or decreasing it—to reflect market, regulatory, or operational changes.
Any revised commission shall apply prospectively only to Services sold after the date of publication of the updated rate; transactions initiated prior to the change remain subject to the previously applicable rate.
The updated rate and effective date will be posted on the Platform's official Policy Page. Continued use of the Platform after publication constitutes acceptance of the revised rate.
10.3 Collection and Remittance of Funds
By using the Platform, Mentors (User Type A) grant GreenChain an irrevocable, limited authorization to act as their limited payment collection agent to:
- receive payments from Members (User Type B) on the Mentor's behalf;
- deduct the Platform Commission, third-party fees, taxes, or other authorized charges; and
- remit the resulting net balance ("Net Proceeds") to the Mentor's verified payout account within a commercially reasonable period of up to thirty (30) business days, subject to Payment-Processor clearance and the absence of disputes or chargebacks.
Funds processed through the Platform are received and transmitted on behalf of the Mentor, not as escrow or trust funds. GreenChain and its Payment Processors operate in accordance with Stripe Connect (U.S.) and similar frameworks for payment facilitation.
Receipt of funds by GreenChain or its designated Payment Processor constitutes full discharge of the Member's payment obligation to the Mentor. Mentors acknowledge that GreenChain acts only as a limited collection intermediary, not as a trustee, escrow agent, or fiduciary, and that no segregation of funds is required.
10.4 Holds, Reserves, and Set-Offs
GreenChain may, at its sole discretion and without notice, delay, withhold, or reserve funds when:
- transactions are under review for potential fraud, chargeback, or compliance risk;
- KYC/AML verification or tax documentation is incomplete;
- a refund or dispute remains unresolved;
- GreenChain detects unusual or excessive refund or chargeback activity; or
- legal, regulatory, or operational circumstances so require.
Funds subject to hold or reserve may be maintained for as long as GreenChain deems reasonably necessary to protect against liability or financial exposure. No interest shall accrue on held amounts, and Users shall have no claim for damages or delay arising from such measures.
GreenChain further reserves the right to set off from any current or future payout amounts due to a User any sums owed to GreenChain, including Platform Commissions, penalties, chargebacks, refunds, or damages arising from breach of these Terms.
10.5 Compliance with Financial Regulations
GreenChain and its Payment Processors operate under applicable U.S. and international laws relating to anti-money-laundering (AML), counter-terrorist-financing (CTF), and sanctions enforcement.
Accordingly, GreenChain may report, freeze, or return funds pursuant to lawful requests from regulatory or judicial authorities.
Users agree that such actions constitute good-faith compliance and release GreenChain from any liability associated with lawful enforcement cooperation.
10.6 Disclaimers and Limitations
The Platform does not guarantee payment timing, processor availability, or uninterrupted financial operations.
GreenChain shall not be liable for delays, currency losses, intermediary-bank deductions, or processor-network failures.
All transactions are final once confirmed by the Payment Processor, subject only to refund or dispute procedures (See Section 11 — Refunds and Chargebacks).
GreenChain's maximum liability in any payment-related matter shall be limited to the exact Platform Commission retained from the affected transaction, less any processing or transfer fees.
All rights and obligations under this Section shall survive the termination or suspension of the User's account.
For payment-related inquiries, Users may contact:
📧 soporte@mentorhoodlatam.com
SECTION 11 — REFUNDS, CANCELLATIONS, NO-SHOW & CHARGEBACKS
11.1 Primary Responsibility for Resolution
Refunds, cancellations, and service-related disputes shall be resolved primarily and directly between the Mentor (User Type A) and the Member (User Type B).
MentorHood (operated by GreenChain Holdings LLC, "GreenChain") acts only as a technological intermediary and limited payment collection agent under (See Section 10 — Payments, Payouts, and Financial Operations).
MentorHood may, at its sole discretion, facilitate communication, request information, or mediate between the parties, but is under no legal obligation to do so.
Any assistance offered by MentorHood shall be strictly voluntary, non-binding, and without admission of liability.
11.2 Refund and Cancellation Procedures
Mentor–Member Communication. Members seeking a refund or cancellation must first contact the Mentor directly through the Platform's communication tools. Mentors shall respond in good faith within a reasonable time frame.
Submission to MentorHood Support Team. If no resolution is reached, either party may escalate the matter to MentorHood Support by submitting a written claim via the official channel at soporte@mentorhoodlatam.com.
Acknowledgment of Receipt. Refund or dispute requests are deemed officially received only when MentorHood Support confirms receipt and states that all required documentation and information have been provided. MentorHood shall not initiate review until such confirmation is issued.
Required Information. Claim submissions must include the transaction ID, date, parties involved, a description of the issue, and documentary evidence (messages, screenshots, proof of non-delivery, or similar).
MentorHood reserves the right to dismiss incomplete or unsubstantiated claims without further notice.
11.3 No-Show and Late-Cancellation Rules
Member No-Show. If a Member fails to attend a scheduled session without written notice at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance (or longer if stated by the Mentor), the session is deemed consumed and non-refundable.
Mentor No-Show. If a Mentor fails to appear or deliver a confirmed session, the Member may request a refund under this Section with appropriate documentary proof. MentorHood may, in its discretion, authorize reversal of the payment or apply credit to the Member's account.
Late Cancellation by Mentor. If a Mentor cancels a confirmed session with less than twenty-four (24) hours' notice without valid cause, MentorHood may withhold or reverse payment to the Mentor and credit the affected Member.
Evidence Standard. Both parties must provide verifiable proof (e.g., timestamps, screenshots, or written communications) supporting attendance, cancellation, or non-performance. MentorHood's determination on sufficiency of evidence shall be final and binding within the Platform's administrative scope.
11.4 Chargebacks and Related Fees
In the event that a Member initiates a chargeback or reversal through their financial institution:
- the disputed amount, including any processor or investigation fees, will be debited against the Mentor's future payouts or available balance;
- the Mentor shall bear full financial responsibility for chargeback amounts and related administrative fees imposed by Payment Processors;
- MentorHood is not required to contest or reverse a chargeback, even if the Mentor disputes it; and
- MentorHood may suspend or terminate the Mentor's account for excessive or recurrent chargeback activity (See Section 21 — Suspension and Termination).
MentorHood retains the right to offset or withhold corresponding funds as provided in (See Section 10.4 — Holds, Reserves, and Set-Offs).
11.5 Claim Submission Window and Waiver
All refund, cancellation, or dispute claims must be submitted within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the original transaction.
After this period, the right to any refund or dispute resolution is permanently waived, and MentorHood shall have no obligation to review or process such claims.
MentorHood may, at its sole discretion, extend this window only in extraordinary circumstances supported by verifiable evidence (e.g., documented technical outage or confirmed medical emergency).
11.6 Review Process and Non-Guarantee
Once a claim is accepted for review, MentorHood may analyze the information provided and, if deemed appropriate, request additional documentation or statements from either party.
MentorHood's review process is administrative and not a judicial or arbitral proceeding. Any resolution or credit issued by MentorHood is made ex gratia, without obligation or precedent, and does not constitute a guarantee, admission of fault, or continuing policy.
MentorHood's decision on any claim shall be final and binding within the Platform's administrative framework and not subject to further appeal.
11.7 Limitations and Disclaimers
No Guarantee of Outcome. MentorHood does not guarantee that any refund or chargeback will be successful or that funds will be recoverable from Payment Processors or financial institutions;
No Fiduciary Role. MentorHood acts solely as a limited collection agent under (See Section 10 — Payments, Payouts, and Financial Operations) and does not hold funds in escrow, trust, or custodianship;
No Damages Liability. MentorHood shall not be liable for any loss, delay, or cost associated with refunds, reversals, or payment-processor actions; and
Proof and Cooperation. Failure by either party to provide timely and complete evidence automatically releases MentorHood from any obligation to process the claim.
All rights and obligations under this Section shall survive the termination or suspension of the User's account.
SECTION 12 — TAXES, INVOICING & REPORTING
12.1 Mentor's Exclusive Fiscal Responsibility
Each Mentor (User Type A) is solely and exclusively responsible for determining, collecting, reporting, and remitting any and all taxes, duties, levies, contributions, or charges of any kind (collectively, the "Taxes") that may arise from their use of www.mentorhoodlatam.com (the "Platform") or from any transaction conducted through it.
This includes, without limitation:

They are not tax agents, accountants, advisors, or representatives of any Mentor or Member and assume no responsibility or liability whatsoever for the calculation, collection, reporting, or payment of Taxes owed by any User.
MentorHood and GreenChain do not determine tax residency, assess fiscal nexus, or operate as withholding agents unless legally compelled by formal order or applicable U.S. law.

Any data, reports, or summaries made available through the Platform (e.g., transaction histories or payout statements) are provided solely for convenience and informational purposes, on an "as-is" and non-binding basis.
Such information does not constitute an official record, certification, or tax document. Users remain fully responsible for verifying its accuracy, maintaining their own records, and consulting qualified tax professionals.
MentorHood does not assess tax nexus, residency, or permanent-establishment status, nor determine whether any transaction is taxable under local or cross-border regulations.
12.3 Withholding and Retentions (If Legally Required)
If applicable law or fiscal regulation mandates that GreenChain withhold or collect any amount on behalf of a User—such as income tax, VAT, or similar fiscal charges—GreenChain reserves the right to:
- deduct such amounts from the Mentor's gross payouts before remittance;
- remit those amounts directly to the appropriate tax authority as legally required; and
- provide, where feasible, a non-fiscal statement indicating the deducted sum for reference only.
GreenChain shall have no obligation to gross-up payments, reimburse Mentors for any Taxes withheld, or verify tax credits, exemptions, or treaties. Any mandatory retention shall constitute full satisfaction of that portion of the Mentor's fiscal liability.
MentorHood shall not be responsible for verifying double-taxation treaties, cross-border exemptions, or tax credits applicable to any User.
12.4 Invoicing Obligations
Mentor Responsibility. Each Mentor is responsible for issuing, storing, and delivering invoices or fiscal receipts to Members in accordance with applicable local tax laws and invoicing standards. MentorHood does not validate or enforce invoicing formats, numbering, or digital-signature compliance.
MentorHood Statements. Where permitted by law or upon Member request, MentorHood may generate non-fiscal receipts or payout statements summarizing transaction details solely for reference. Such statements:
- do not replace official invoices;
- are not recognized as tax-compliant documentation; and
- do not establish any fiscal agency, partnership, or joint liability between MentorHood and the Mentor.
Mentors agree to indemnify and hold harmless GreenChain and MentorHood from any audit, penalty, or liability arising from their failure to issue compliant invoices or meet their tax obligations.
12.5 Reporting and Disclosure to Authorities
GreenChain reserves the right—but assumes no obligation—to disclose transaction data to competent fiscal or regulatory authorities if:
- required under applicable law or international reporting agreements (e.g., FATCA, CRS);
- requested through lawful process, subpoena, or audit; or
- necessary to comply with anti-fraud, AML, or sanctions obligations.
Such disclosures do not create any continuing duty to report, file, or certify on behalf of any User. Mentors expressly consent to such lawful disclosures and acknowledge that they may not receive notice where prohibited by law.
12.6 Indemnity and Liability Disclaimer
Mentors shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless GreenChain, MentorHood, their affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, assessments, penalties, interest, damages, or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising from or related to:
- their failure to collect, report, or remit Taxes;
- misclassification of their professional or tax status;
- noncompliance with invoicing, withholding, or declaration obligations; or
- any error, omission, or misstatement in fiscal documentation they provide.
