1. Introduction

1.1 USE OF ESCROW?

It helps make transactions more secure by keeping the payment in a secure escrow account which is only released when all of the terms of an agreement are met as overseen by the escrow company. This provides for secure transactions and confident buyers and sellers.

1.2 HOW DOES THE PROPRIETARY GETSOUND.COM ESCROW WORK?

A step-by-step process ensures protection for both the Client and Professional when using a bank account for online transactions. GetSound.com ensures that all members are protected equally and that any disputes are dealt with appropriately and fairly.

The GetSound.com Escrow Process is as follows:
• Client and Professional agree to terms. The Client selects a Telemedical Service and the Professional is willing to provide that Service.
• Client pays for the Service. Payment is provided by an approved payment method and deposited into Escrow. Once payment is verified, the Client is notified that funds have been secured in Escrow.
• Professional is solicited. Upon payment verification, the Professional is notified that funds have been secured in Escrow and that a Consultation is pending. The Professional has a set amount of time to perform the Service.
• Professional performs the service. A report highlighting the Professional’s findings and comments is generated via the Consultation.
• Client receives the Service. The Client receives the Consultation report from the Professional. The Client has a set number of days to inspect the report(s) and the option to accept or reject it.
• Client accepts the Service.
• Funds are released to the Professional’s Internal Getsound Account to be dispersed to Professional by Getsound Systems Group, LLC staff every 30 – 45 days depending upon Professional Account Volume and Requests by Professional and Getsound Animal Health, LLC Management.

2. GetSound.com Professional Accounts
