Eligibility

The Site and Services are intended solely for persons who are 18 or older. Any access to or use of the Site or Services by anyone under 18 is expressly prohibited. By accessing or using the Site or Services, you represent and warrant that you are 18 or older.

CoachMarket Accounts

In order to access some features of the Site and the Services, and to book Engagements, you will have to create a unique account on the Site (a “CoachMarket Account”) and become a Client. You may never use another person's CoachMarket Account without such person’s express permission. When creating your CoachMarket Account, you must provide accurate and complete information. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your CoachMarket Account, and you must keep your CoachMarket Account password secure. You must notify CoachMarket immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your CoachMarket Account. Although CoachMarket will not be liable for any losses or damages caused by any unauthorized use of your CoachMarket Account, you may be liable for the losses of CoachMarket or others due to such unauthorized use.

Consultations and Financial Terms for Clients

The Coaches, and not CoachMarket, are solely responsible for honoring any confirmed Engagements and completing any Engagements reserved through the Site. If you, as a Client, choose to enter into any bilateral agreement between yourself and a Coach that expands or otherwise modifies the scope or any other aspect of any Engagements, you acknowledge and agree that you, and not CoachMarket, will be responsible for performing the obligations of any such agreements, and CoachMarket is not a party to such agreements and disclaims all liability arising from or related to any such agreements. If a requested Engagement is cancelled (i.e. not confirmed by the applicable Coach), any amounts collected by CoachMarket will be refunded to such Client, and any pre-authorization of such Client’s credit card will be released, as applicable.

In order to establish an Engagement pending the applicable Coach's confirmation of your requested Consultation, you understand and agree that CoachMarket shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to obtain a pre-authorization via your credit card for the full price of the Engagement. Once CoachMarket receives confirmation of your Engagement from the applicable Coach, CoachMarket will collect the total price of the Consultation in accordance with the pricing terms set forth in the applicable Listing. Please note that CoachMarket cannot control any fees that may be charged to a Client by his or her bank related to CoachMarket’s collection of payment, and CoachMarket disclaims all liability in this regard.

In connection with your requested Engagement, you will be asked to provide customary billing information such as name, billing address and credit card information either to CoachMarket or its third party payment processor. You agree to pay CoachMarket for any confirmed Engagements made in connection with your CoachMarket Account in accordance with these Terms by one of the methods described on the Site. You hereby authorize the collection of such amounts by charging the credit card provided as part of requesting the Engagement, either directly by CoachMarket or indirectly, via a third party online payment processor or by one of the payment methods described on the Site. If you are directed to CoachMarket’s third party payment processor, you may be subject to terms and conditions governing use of that third party’s service and that third party’s personal information collection practices. Please review such terms and conditions and privacy policy before using the services. Once your Engagement is confirmed you will receive a confirmation email summarizing your confirmed Engagement.

No Agency

You and CoachMarket are independent contractors, and no agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by these Terms or your use of the Site.

Notices

When you visit the Site or send emails to any address on the CoachMarket.me domain, you are communicating with us electronically. You consent to receive communications from us electronically. We will communicate with you by email (sent to the email address you provide to CoachMarket either during the registration process or when your email address changes) or by posting notices on this site. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. In addition to, but not in limitation of the foregoing, except as explicitly stated otherwise, any notices to CoachMarket shall be given by email to [info@CoachMarket.me]. CoachMarket may alternatively choose to give you notice by certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested, to the mailing address provided to CoachMarket. In the case of notice by certified mail, notice shall be deemed given three (3) days after the date of mailing.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York without reference to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof. Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your visit to the Site or to products or services sold or distributed by CoachMarket or through the Site will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of these Terms as a court would.

We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

Assignment

These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by CoachMarket without restriction.

Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other legal notices published by CoachMarket on the Site, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and CoachMarket concerning the Site, your use of the Services and any Content (including, without limitation, the Collective Content). If any provision of these Terms is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms, which shall remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any one provision set forth in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other provision, and CoachMarket's failure to assert or enforce any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. CoachMarket reserves the right to amend these Terms at any time and without notice, and it is your responsibility to review these Terms for any changes. Your use of the Site and/or the Services following any amendment of these Terms will signify your assent to and acceptance of its revised terms.
