About the Coach Agreement

About the Coach Agreement

The Coach Agreement is a formal legal document that defines the relationship between Elevate Golf and every Coach who joins the platform. It sets rights, responsibilities, and expectations on both sides so that working terms are clear and fair from the start.

The agreement covers key areas including independence, payments, disputes, and standards of conduct. Coaches act as independent professionals and are responsible for managing taxes and regulatory obligations. Elevate Golf provides the secure framework for transactions, Player protection, and fair processes, including how earnings are released when a Tip is requested and how issues are handled under the Refund & Cancellation Policy and the Clarification Process.

The agreement also aligns with the platform’s pricing principles and the behavioural standards in Rules for Coaches, ensuring that fees reflect fair value and that professional conduct is maintained at all times.

The full Coach Agreement is legally binding and must be accepted during registration. Its purpose is straightforward, to protect Coaches, Players, and the platform by making sure everyone understands the rules. By joining, Coaches confirm a commitment to professionalism and fairness, while Elevate Golf commits to a trusted, transparent system for delivering and rewarding their work.
