The Coach Agreement makes clear that Coaches on Elevate Golf are independent
professionals, not employees. This independence means Coaches decide when to
work, how to respond, and the style in which Tips are delivered. They retain
control over their careers, while Elevate Golf provides the secure framework
that enables them to reach Players globally.
Fairness is at the centre of this relationship. Payments are secured
upfront, so every Tip has guaranteed value. Refunds, when they occur, are
handled transparently, with Coaches always given the chance to clarify before
earnings are affected under the
Clarification
Process. Coaches are also responsible for payment processor charges in
refund cases, ensuring Players are not disadvantaged.
Fairness also applies to pricing. Elevate Golf is designed for affordable,
impulse-priced Tips with mass appeal. Rates must reflect a Coach’s
qualifications and experience, not inflated or inconsistent charges. This
principle protects Players while rewarding Coaches who price fairly and treat
the platform as their own.
The balance of independence and fairness allows Coaches to benefit fully
from their expertise while ensuring Players receive trusted, high-quality Tips.
It protects both sides and keeps Elevate Golf working as a sustainable
marketplace where learning and earning thrive together.
