5. The Platform as a Marketplace
5.1 Role of WithCoach
WithCoach is a marketplace platform that facilitates connections between Students and Coaches. We are not a coaching provider and do not employ Coaches. Coaches are independent service providers, and WithCoach is not a party to the coaching arrangement between a Student and a Coach.
5.2 No Guarantee of Results
We do not guarantee the quality, safety, or legality of coaching services listed on the Platform, nor do we guarantee the accuracy of Coach profiles, ratings, or reviews. Students are responsible for evaluating Coaches and making their own decisions about bookings.
5.3 Vetting
While we may conduct certain vetting procedures for Coaches, we do not guarantee the identity, qualifications, certifications, or background of any Coach. Any vetting conducted is done as a courtesy and does not constitute an endorsement or guarantee.
6. Bookings and Payments
6.1 Booking Process
Students may browse available Coaches, view real-time availability, and book sessions through the Platform. A Booking is confirmed when the Student completes payment and receives a confirmation through the Platform.
6.2 Payments
All payments for coaching sessions are processed through the Platform's secure digital payment system. By making a payment, you authorize WithCoach to charge the applicable fees to your selected payment method. Prices for coaching sessions are set by Coaches and displayed at the time of booking.
6.3 Service Fees
WithCoach charges a service fee for facilitating transactions on the Platform. Applicable fees will be disclosed to you before you confirm a Booking.
6.4 Payouts to Coaches
Coaches will receive payouts for completed sessions according to our payout schedule, less any applicable service fees. Payout methods and timing are detailed in our Coach onboarding materials and may be updated from time to time.
6.5 Taxes
Users are solely responsible for determining and fulfilling their own tax obligations arising from their use of the Platform, including any income, sales, VAT, or other taxes applicable in their jurisdiction.
7. Cancellation and Refund Policy
7.1 Student Cancellations
Students may cancel a Booking in accordance with the cancellation policy displayed at the time of booking. Cancellations made within the specified window may be eligible for a full or partial refund. Late cancellations or no-shows may not be eligible for a refund.
7.2 Coach Cancellations
Coaches who cancel confirmed Bookings may be subject to penalties, including reduced visibility on the Platform or account suspension. Students affected by Coach cancellations will receive a full refund.
7.3 Disputes
If a dispute arises regarding a Booking, either party may report the issue through the Platform. WithCoach will review the matter and may, at its sole discretion, issue refunds, credits, or other resolutions.
8. Coach Terms
8.1 Coach Responsibilities
Coaches agree to provide services as described in their profiles, show up on time for confirmed Bookings, maintain professional conduct, and comply with all applicable local laws and regulations in the jurisdiction where they provide services.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that WithCoach shall not be liable for any personal injury, property damage, illness, disability, or death arising from or related to any coaching session arranged through the Platform, regardless of whether such harm results from the negligence of a Coach, another User, a third party, environmental conditions, or any other cause.
