3. Nature of the Relationship

3.1 Marketplace intermediary. Tera operates as a marketplace platform that facilitates the discovery and booking of wellness services. Tera is not a provider of wellness, therapy, health, or healing services. The contract for the provision of any Service is formed directly between the Supplier and the Client.

3.2 Independent contractor. The Supplier is an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement creates or implies any relationship of employment, agency, partnership, or joint venture between Tera and the Supplier. The Supplier is solely responsible for their own tax, National Insurance, insurance, regulatory compliance, and professional obligations.

3.3 No exclusivity. This Agreement is non-exclusive. The Supplier may offer their services on other platforms and through other channels. Tera may onboard other suppliers in any location or modality.

4. Supplier Onboarding & Approval

  • Full legal name and business name (if applicable)
  • Contact details and location
  • Modalities, services, or space type offered
  • Relevant qualifications, credentials, or certifications (practitioners and retreat hosts)
  • Professional insurance details
  • Identification documents (as reasonably requested by Tera)
  • Stripe Connect onboarding details for payment receipt

4.2 Approval. Tera reserves the right to approve or reject any application at its sole discretion. Approval is not guaranteed. Tera will notify the Supplier of its decision within a reasonable timeframe. Tera may request additional information or evidence of credentials before making a decision.

  • All information provided is true, accurate, and not misleading
  • They hold all qualifications, certifications, licences, and insurances stated in their application
  • They have the legal right to offer the Services described
  • If operating as a business, they are duly incorporated or registered and have capacity to enter into this Agreement

5. Listings & Content

5.1 Creating a Listing. Following approval, the Supplier may create one or more Listings on the Platform. Each Listing must accurately describe the Service offered, including pricing, duration, location (in-person or online), modality or space type, and any prerequisites.

5.2 Content standards. The Supplier is solely responsible for all Content they submit. Content must:

  • Be accurate, truthful, and not misleading
  • Not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights
  • Not contain defamatory, discriminatory, offensive, or unlawful material
  • Comply with the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) guidelines for health and wellness claims
  • Not make unsubstantiated therapeutic or medical claims

5.3 Tera's right to edit or remove Content. Tera reserves the right to edit, remove, or de-list any Listing or Content that breaches these standards or Tera's Platform policies, without prior notice and without liability to the Supplier. Tera will use reasonable endeavours to notify the Supplier of any removal and the reason for it.

5.4 Licence to Content. The Supplier grants Tera a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to use, display, reproduce, and distribute their Content on the Platform and in Tera's marketing materials (including social media, press, and investor materials) for the purpose of operating and promoting the Platform. The Supplier retains ownership of their Content.

5.5 Accuracy obligation. The Supplier must keep their Listing current and accurate at all times. This includes pricing, availability, credentials, and any changes to the Services offered. Tera accepts no liability for losses arising from outdated or inaccurate Listing information.

6. Bookings & Cancellations

6.1 Booking requests. When a Client submits a booking request, the Supplier will receive a notification via the Platform and by email. The Supplier must respond (accept or decline) within 48 hours. Failure to respond within 48 hours will result in the booking request automatically expiring and the Client being notified.

6.2 Confirmation. A Booking is confirmed when the Supplier accepts the request. On confirmation, the Client's card is charged. The Booking will appear in both the Supplier's and Client's dashboards.

6.3 Instant booking. Where a Supplier has enabled instant booking, the Booking is confirmed automatically on the Client's submission and payment. The Supplier acknowledges responsibility for maintaining accurate availability when instant booking is enabled.

6.4 Supplier cancellation. Cancellations by the Supplier are strongly discouraged and may affect the Supplier's ranking on the Platform. If a Supplier cancels a confirmed Booking:

  • The Client will receive a full refund
  • The Supplier will not receive any Payout for that Booking
  • Repeated cancellations may result in suspension or removal from the Platform

6.5 Client cancellation. The Supplier sets their own cancellation policy (full refund, partial refund, or no refund) within the parameters permitted by Tera. The Supplier's cancellation policy must be clearly stated on their Listing and compliant with applicable consumer protection law, including the Consumer Rights Act 2015 where applicable.

6.6 Service delivery. The Supplier is solely responsible for delivering the Service as described in their Listing, to a professional standard, and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

7. Fees, Commission & Payments

7.1 Commission structure. Tera charges Commission on each completed Booking as follows:

  • Venue Commission: 13.5% of the Booking value
  • Client service fee (all types): 9% at checkout
  • Nuru Programme Commission: 0% for first 12 months (see Schedule 1)

The Commission rate applicable to each Supplier will be confirmed in their account dashboard and may be updated by Tera on 30 days' written notice.

7.2 Payout. The Supplier's Payout is the Booking value minus the applicable Commission. Payouts are released to the Supplier's Stripe Connect account 24 hours after the scheduled session or event date, subject to:

  • The Booking being marked as completed (or not disputed within the payout window)
  • The Supplier's Stripe Connect account being fully active and verified
  • No open disputes or investigations relating to the Booking

7.3 Payment processing. All payments on the Platform are processed by Stripe Payments Europe Ltd, an e-money institution authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Tera acts as a commercial agent facilitating transactions between Suppliers and Clients and does not itself provide payment services requiring FCA authorisation. Tera is not an authorised payment institution under the Payment Services Regulations 2017.

By listing on the Platform, the Supplier agrees to Stripe's Connected Account Agreement (available at stripe.com/connect-account/legal). Tera accepts no liability for delays, failures, or errors in payment processing caused by Stripe or third-party banking systems.

7.4 Taxes. The Supplier is solely responsible for declaring and paying all taxes, including income tax, National Insurance contributions, and VAT (where applicable), arising from Bookings made via the Platform. Tera does not provide tax advice. The Supplier is strongly advised to seek independent tax advice.

7.5 Currency. The Platform supports multiple currencies including GBP, USD, EUR, GHS, and NGN. The Supplier sets their pricing in their preferred currency. Currency conversion fees and exchange rate risks are borne by the relevant party.

Schedule 1 — The Nuru Programme

Purpose. The Nuru Programme is Tera's built-in equity infrastructure. It is designed to amplify the visibility and economic opportunity of practitioners from underrepresented communities and healing traditions globally.

Eligibility. Suppliers may be eligible for the Nuru Programme if they:

  • Are based in the Global South (including sub-Saharan Africa, South and South-East Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean); or
  • Are from a community that has been historically underrepresented in mainstream wellness platforms
  • And have been approved by Tera's team as part of the Nuru founding cohort

Nuru Founding Programme benefits.

Zero Commission: 0% supplier-side Commission for the first 12 months from the date of Nuru acceptance. Client service fee still applies.

Visibility Priority: Nuru Suppliers receive a visibility priority flag in the matching algorithm. Where two Suppliers are equally relevant to a Client's query, Nuru Suppliers surface first.

Nuru Badge: A visible Nuru badge on the Supplier's public profile page.

Modality Library: Supplier's modality is included and described in Tera's Cultural Modality Library, discoverable in the Supplier's own language.

Nuru reversion. After 12 months from the Nuru acceptance date, the Supplier's Commission rate will automatically revert to the standard rate (7% for practitioners and retreat hosts, 13.5% for venues) as notified in their account dashboard. Tera will notify the Supplier 30 days before the reversion date.
