Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by Zikorah. You retain the right to negotiate the Charges with a Zikorah Pro for Employee services received by you from such Zikorah Pro at the time you receive such services. Zikorah will respond accordingly to any request from a Zikorah Pro to modify the Charges for a particular service.
As between you and Zikorah, Zikorah reserves the right to establish, remove and/or revise Charges for any or all Employee Services obtained through the use of the Services at any time in Zikorah’s sole discretion.

5.3 Service Charge.
In consideration of Zikorah’s provision of the Zikorah Services for your use and benefit hereunder, you agree to pay Zikorah a service charge on a per Employee Services transaction basis calculated as a percentage of the Charges (regardless of any alternately negotiated Charges), as provided or otherwise made available by Zikorah from time to time (“Service Charge”).
