      1. find a skilled or experienced person who can assist you to learn a skill or complete a project (each a Service Provider)
      2. allow you to book a 1:1 video session (or multiple sessions) with your chosen Service Provider;
      3. facilitate the video session; and
      4. bill you for any charges associated with that session.

A Listing will show you what a Service Provider can offer, their claimed experience and qualifications, and any verifications that they have undertaken with us.
   3. Once you have selected a Service Provider, the Site will allow you to view their provided availability, and to request a booking (Booking).
   4. Please be aware that SMX does not review or moderate Listings. If you agree to hire a Service Provider, you will be entering into a contract directly with the Service Provider (and not with SMX). At no time will SMX be a party to any agreement formed between Users and Service Providers.
   5. A Booking will be confirmed when you make payment via the Site. In the event that a Service Provider cannot complete your Booking as scheduled, we will contact you to reschedule the Booking until a mutually convenient time. If a Booking cannot be Rescheduled we may (in our absolute discretion) refund your payment for the relevant Booking.

   8. We may, from time to time, state whether we have sighted a relevant licence or qualification from a Service Provider on the Listing. Where this occurs, we warrant only that we have sighted a document that appeared to be a legitimate and genuine document, and you agree that you will not place any reliance on such a statement. Whilst we will always act in good faith when assessing and providing verifications, we will not conduct further research ourselves, and you should always conduct an independent search of public licensing registers before relying upon the advice of a Service Provider to ensure they are appropriately qualified to give the advice they propose to provide.
   9. Information provided by a Service Provider has not been reviewed or verified by us. SMX does not endorse, support or confirm the quality or appropriateness of the Service Providers. Any information contained in a Listing is not intended to replace consultation with a qualified professional. Please conduct your own research and seek appropriate and relevant independent advice prior to engaging a Service Provider.
