The rules for confidential Call submissions, editorial review, paid introductions and payments on CultrVibe Exchange.
CultrVibe is a UK sole-trader business trading as CultrVibe. Email: contact@cultrvibe.com. These terms govern the Exchange as a managed editorial and introduction service. They supplement general website terms. Business operator details will be supplied in legally required business documents and on request, subject to applicable disclosure requirements.
Call submissions and provider responses are received privately by CultrVibe through website forms and email. Neither is published automatically. CultrVibe reviews Calls, removes identifying details and may edit, approve, decline or remove a public Call. Provider responses are confidential and not publicly displayed or automatically forwarded. Publication, shortlisting, feedback and commercial outcomes are not guaranteed.
Posting a Call is free during Phase 1. Responding to a Call is always free. A standard Directory listing is free. There is no fee for merely posting, responding, being reviewed or declining an introduction.
The introduction fee is calculated on the lower end of the poster's confirmed budget band for the approved Call, even where the published budget is undisclosed. Confidential offer thresholds and prices proposed by providers are not automatically treated as the Call budget and are not published. Any missing or ambiguous budget basis must be resolved privately with the poster before a quote can be issued.
A qualifying response is from a verified provider, meets the material requirements of the Call and has not been withdrawn. CultrVibe determines qualifying status. The count is locked when a particular introduction quotation is issued.
Each side pays the greater of US$150 or 1.5% of the confirmed budget's lower bound. Where there are five or more qualifying responses, the poster alone pays the greater of US$150 or 2%; the provider remains at 1.5%. The same rates apply to all subscription tiers. Each distinct poster–provider pairing may be charged once per Call, only upon separate agreement.
CultrVibe privately offers a potential match, states the exact individual fee and any applicable taxes and obtains both parties' express approval and payment before disclosing either identity or enabling direct contact. Both parties may decline without charge. A completed introduction is the authorised exchange of identities or arrangement of direct contact, not the signing of a commercial contract.
Fees are in USD. CultrVibe is currently not UK VAT-registered and does not currently charge UK VAT. No VAT invoice will be issued while it remains unregistered. If registration or the applicable tax treatment changes, any tax legally due will be disclosed before payment. CultrVibe issues appropriate payment receipts or ordinary invoices.
If a party has paid and the other party declines or fails to pay, no introduction occurs and the paid fee is refunded unless the payer agrees to another lawful option. If CultrVibe cannot deliver the agreed introduction, the introduction fee is refunded. Failure of a completed introduction to produce a deal is not itself grounds for refund, without prejudice to statutory rights. Pre-existing direct relationships should be raised before acceptance and may lead to a waived or revised quote.
Unpublished Calls, identifying details, budgets and provider responses are kept confidential and disclosed only for administering the service, with authorisation or where required by law. Publication of anonymised Calls does not guarantee against inference. Personal information is processed as explained in the CultrVibe Privacy Policy.
Users must not knowingly misuse confidential introduction information to evade a specifically accepted fee. Independently formed or unrelated relationships are not restricted. CultrVibe does not take a commission on resulting agreements under these terms. Each party remains responsible for its own diligence, contract and compliance. Exchange fees do not influence independent CultrVibe editorial coverage.
Terms may change prospectively, but an agreed fee quotation will not be increased retrospectively. Nothing excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or mandatory consumer rights. These terms are intended to operate under the law of England and Wales subject to mandatory protections elsewhere. Contact contact@cultrvibe.com for questions, refunds or complaints.
