Paid Placement Agreement

1. This agreement is made between the undersigned client (hereinafter “client”) and Worldwide Exchange Experts (hereinafter “Worldwide”).  Worldwide enters this Agreement when it confirms the placement fields requested by client (minimum of 2) and when it receives and processes the initial fees called for in this agreement.  Client agrees to fully cooperate with Worldwide’s instructions.

2. This client hereby hires Worldwide to provide “Placement Services” as defined within this Agreement. 

3. Client agrees to pay Worldwide according to the "Fee Schedule and Refund Policy" defined within this Agreement. 

4  The client hereby acknowledges and authorizes Worldwide, at Worldwide’s sole discretion, to have anyone else, either affiliated, associated, or otherwise, provide any of the placement services to be rendered to client, including but not limited to services related to visa sponsorship, services related to providing required insurance, creation of necessary documents, and locating the placement. 

5.  The client hereby agrees and acknowledges that Worldwide does not and cannot make any promise or guarantee of a particular result.  Client acknowledges that though a client may start a placement for an intended duration, the provider/employer of the placement can act independently to terminate the internship and Worldwide will not be held liable in anyway.

6.  Fee Schedule and Refund Policy.  For positions of 9 to 18 months, Client agrees to initially pay Worldwide a nonrefundable registration fee of $495 and a Placement Search Fee of $495 to identify a satisfactory placement in either of the 2 fields identified by client (minimum of 2 confirmed by Worldwide).  If no satisfactory internship, as defined in this Agreement, is secured within 12 weeks, client will have the right to demand in writing a refund of the $495 Placement Search Fee.  If anyone identified by Worldwide offers a "Satisfactory Placement," client will be responsible for paying the Program C Fee of $1000 plus one month salary negotiated with the employer.  After the Program C Fee has been paid, if the candidate cannot be placed in the position through no fault of their own, the client may demand in writing a refund of the Program C Fee.  There will be a refund  of the program and placement fees minus $200  if the process is completed and the client fails the final interview at the U.S. Consulate/Embassy in their country.
