These terms apply to your access of the Site, Experts and Services and constitute a legally binding agreement between you and wiseHer. Please read these Terms and the Privacy Policy carefully. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use our site or applications.

If at any time the Terms are not acceptable to you please cease using the site.

Age Eligibility

The site and services are intended for persons over the age of 18. Any access to the site by those under 18 is prohibited. By using the site you represent and warrant that you are 18 or older.

How it works

The site provides a directory of Experts that Members can search and schedule an appointment with to gain the Expert’s advice or ideas.

wiseHer’s (d/b/a ChannelWise) role is to facilitate calls to experts via appointment scheduling, call coordination, and payment facilitation. We do not accept responsibility for any information given by the Expert or for any content or advice exchanged between members/Users and Experts. While our Experts are hand-selected, we do not independently verify credentials of our Experts. All members using the site do so at their own risk. We are not responsible for any loss or damage caused by your reliance on information provided by the site or its Experts.

Experts may be providing advice based on their professional certifications/licenses, but no professional-to-client relationship exists as a result of the consultation. For example, if you seek a lawyer for advice on wiseHer (d/b/a ChannelWise), at no time does this constitute an attorney/client relationship, and if you seek a therapist for advice on wiseHer (d/b/a ChannelWise), at no time does this constitute a therapist/patient relationship. No privilege exists or is implied. All calls are recorded. The site is not HIPAA compliant. Any information shared, whether about your health or otherwise, should be considered public when shared on or through the site. Financial planners must abide by their industry’s own rules governed by the SEC.

Experts are Independent

wiseHer (d/b/a ChannelWise) does not employ or “hire” Experts; our role is simply to facilitate connecting Experts with Users and to process payment between the User and the Expert. wiseHer(d/b/a ChannelWise) will send payment to the Expert minus our fees (see Expert payment terms in FAQs). wiseHer (d/b/a ChannelWise) makes no promises of employment now or in the future.

By using the site, applications or services, you agree that wiseHer(d/b/a ChannelWise) nor any third party who connects member to the wiseHer (d/b/a ChannelWise) service, will not be held responsible for any Expert’s actions or omissions.

Expert Listings

Experts may create listings to offer services to other Users. To create a listing you will need to provide information regarding your expertise to the general public.

This information will be searchable and discoverable in Google and other search engines.

Users will be able to schedule an appointment with you through the site or application. You understand and agree that once the call is confirmed, you will show up for the call on time and prepared.

You further agree that you will answer the User’s question without selling or promoting your own services.

Furthermore, all conversations should be considered confidential unless otherwise agreed or as required by law.

You acknowledge and agree that you alone are responsible for your actions or for the content you post or share with Users. You also agree that any of the advice you give Users will not breach any agreements you may have with third parties (including employers) and you will comply with applicable laws, tax requirements and rules and regulations that may apply. wiseHer (d/b/a ChannelWise) is not responsible for any of the content of the listing you post nor the content of the call and information you provide.
