The Coach Agreement

Last updated: 14 August 2025

1. Relationship

You are an independent contractor, not our employee, agent or partner.

2. Eligibility & Onboarding

You must be 18+ and hold a recognised coaching qualification. You must provide your credential and, if requested, a public URL where we can verify it.

3. NonCircumvention

You may describe your credentials and club/academy affiliations, but you must not solicit or accept off‑platform communications or payments from Players you encounter via Elevate Golf. Do not share contact details or request Players to contact you directly. Violations may result in removal.

4. Player Safety & Professional Conduct

Treat Players respectfully, comply with law and safeguarding norms for minors, and do not make medical claims. Use the clarification facility to resolve questions.

5. Services & Delivery

Turn‑Around‑Time is shown based on your historical averages. If you need a break, set your profile to “unavailable”. Use clear, original guidance in your Tips.

6. Content & IP

You retain ownership of your Tips, granting Elevate Golf a worldwide, perpetual, royalty‑free licence to host, display, distribute and use them for Platform operations, promotion and training. You may upload reference or comparison footage only if you have the rights. Player content may be used solely to fulfil the Tip.

7. Payments & Fees

Players pay at request. Payouts to Coaches are subject to the Refund Policy and claw‑back on refunds/chargebacks. PayPal Gateway Costs on refunds are borne by the Coach.

8. Taxes

You are responsible for all taxes arising from your earnings. PayPal may issue regulatory forms in certain jurisdictions.

9. Suspension & Termination

We may suspend or terminate for policy breaches, quality issues or risk. Upon termination you must cease using Player content outside the Platform environment.

10. Changes

We may update this Agreement with notice. Continued use constitutes acceptance.
