Athlete House Terms of Service

Athlete House is a neutral marketplace platform that connects youth athletes, parents, and users seeking athletic training services ("Clients") with independent trainers, coaches, and instructors ("Trainers"). We provide the technology to facilitate these connections. Athlete House is not a training provider, sports agency, or employer. We do not directly employ Trainers, supervise, direct, or control training sessions, or guarantee outcomes, certifications, safety, or performance results. Our role is limited to providing the Platform to connect Clients and Trainers.

You must be at least 18 years old and capable of entering into a binding contract to create an account and use the Platform. If you are a parent or legal guardian, you may create an account on behalf of your minor child. Users under the age of 18 ("Minors") may use the Platform only with the express permission and direct supervision of a parent or legal guardian who has agreed to these Terms. The parent or legal guardian is responsible for all activity of the Minor on the Platform and for ensuring the Minor's safety and well-being. By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that all information you provide is accurate, current, and complete. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. Athlete House reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

Athlete House is committed to protecting the privacy of children. We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"). The Platform is not intended for unsupervised use by children under the age of 13. In accordance with 16 C.F.R. Part 312, we do not knowingly collect personal information from a child under 13 without first obtaining verifiable parental consent. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information. Parents or guardians may create an account for a child under 13, which constitutes consent for the child's use of the Platform under their supervision. Verifiable parental consent will be required before collecting personal information and may be obtained through methods such as: • A signed consent form sent by mail or electronic scan; • Verification of a credit card, debit card, or other online payment system transaction; • A video conference with trained personnel; or • Checking a government-issued identification document. Please review our Privacy Policy for more information on our data collection and use practices.

All Trainers on the Platform are independent contractors and are not employees, agents, partners, or joint venturers of Athlete House. Athlete House does not have the right to control the manner or means by which Trainers provide their services. You acknowledge and agree that: • Trainers are solely responsible for determining the method, details, and means of performing their services. • Trainers control their own work schedules, locations (subject to Client agreement), and training methodologies. • Trainers provide their own equipment and are responsible for their own business expenses. • Athlete House does not set rates for Trainers, provide performance evaluations, or supervise training sessions. • The Platform is a tool for Trainers to market their independent business. • Trainers are responsible for their own tax obligations, insurance, licenses, and legal compliance. • This agreement does not create any agency, partnership, or joint venture. Courts may look to the "economic reality" of the relationship, and both Athlete House and Trainers agree that this relationship is one of an independent business contracting with a technology platform.

Athlete House may, but is not obligated to, facilitate background checks on Trainers through third-party consumer reporting agencies in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ("FCRA"). By using the Platform as a Trainer, you agree to this process and will be required to provide express written authorization for such checks. You acknowledge and agree that: • Background checks are limited in scope and time, relying on information from public records. They do not guarantee the character, reliability, or future conduct of any Trainer. • Athlete House does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any background check. • Before we take any adverse action based in whole or in part on a background check, we will provide the Trainer with a copy of the report and a summary of their rights under the FCRA. • A passed background check is not an endorsement or guarantee by Athlete House of a Trainer's suitability, safety, or competence. Clients are solely responsible for interviewing and selecting a suitable Trainer for their needs.

You understand and agree that participation in athletic activities, training, and fitness instruction involves inherent and significant risks of physical injury, illness, property damage, permanent disability, and even death. These risks cannot be eliminated regardless of the care taken to avoid them. By booking or participating in training sessions arranged through the Platform, Clients and their parents/guardians voluntarily and knowingly assume all such risks, both known and unknown, even if arising from the negligence of others, and assume full responsibility for their participation.

This section is a legal release of liability. Please read it carefully. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you, on behalf of yourself, your heirs, and your personal representatives (but NOT on behalf of any Minor for whom you are a parent or guardian), hereby release, waive, and forever discharge Athlete House, its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, and successors from any and all claims, demands, damages, liabilities, and causes of action of any kind, whether direct or derivative, arising out of or related to your use of the Platform or participation in training sessions. This includes claims based on the negligence of Athlete House. For Parents and Legal Guardians: You acknowledge that you do not have the legal authority to waive or release a Minor's own legal claims for personal injury or negligence in a commercial setting. Therefore, this release and waiver applies only to your own legal claims (such as claims for medical expenses you incurred, loss of services, or other claims personal to you) and does not waive or release any claims that may be brought by or on behalf of the Minor. The Minor retains any and all legal rights they may have. Your use of the Platform and engagement with Trainers is at your own risk. Athlete House has no duty to supervise training sessions and shall not be liable for the actions or omissions of any Trainer or Client.

All Trainers must, at their own expense, obtain and maintain in effect appropriate insurance coverage sufficient for the services they provide. This must include, at a minimum: • Commercial General Liability insurance; • Professional Liability (Errors & Omissions) insurance; and • Where applicable, Sexual Abuse and Molestation coverage. Upon request, Trainers must provide Athlete House with a certificate of insurance evidencing this coverage and naming Athlete House LLC as an additional insured.

Athlete House facilitates payments between Clients and Trainers through a third-party payment processor. By using the Platform to make or receive payments, you agree to the terms of our payment processor and agree that: • Athlete House may charge a service fee or commission, which will be disclosed to you and deducted from payouts. • Payment processors may charge their own transaction fees. • All payments for services booked through the Platform must be processed through the Platform. Circumventing the Platform's payment system is a material breach of these Terms. • All payments are final and non-refundable, except as required by law or at the sole discretion of Athlete House as outlined in any applicable refund policy. • Athlete House may withhold, delay, or reverse Trainer payouts in cases of suspected fraud, chargebacks, safety concerns, or violations of these Terms.

You agree not to use the Platform to: • Harass, threaten, defame, or abuse others. • Misrepresent your identity, qualifications, or affiliations. • Upload or share content that is unlawful, harmful, obscene, or infringes on the rights of others. • Engage in any fraudulent or illegal activity. By uploading photos, videos, reviews, or other content ("User Content") to the Platform, you grant Athlete House a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual license to use, display, reproduce, modify, and distribute such User Content in connection with operating and promoting the Platform. You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to all User Content you provide. Athlete House has no obligation to screen User Content but reserves the right to remove any content or terminate accounts for violations of these Terms or for any other reason at our sole discretion. We are not responsible for the content, actions, or conduct of our users and may be protected from liability for user-generated content under the Communications Decency Act, 47 U.S.C. § 230.

The Platform and all its content, including branding, logos, software, and designs, are the exclusive property of Athlete House and are protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from our Platform without our express written permission.

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ATHLETE HOUSE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. ATHLETE HOUSE MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT THE PLATFORM WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE. WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES REGARDING THE QUALITY, SUITABILITY, SAFETY, OR ABILITY OF TRAINERS, OR THE ACCURACY OF ANY LISTINGS OR INFORMATION ON THE PLATFORM.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL ATHLETE HOUSE OR ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM OR ANY TRAINING SESSIONS, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ATHLETE HOUSE'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE PLATFORM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY YOU TO ATHLETE HOUSE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM; OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Athlete House, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or in any way connected with: (a) your use of the Platform; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your User Content; (d) any dispute or issue between you and another user; or (e) any injuries, losses, or damages related to training sessions you provide or participate in. Trainers additionally agree to indemnify and hold harmless Athlete House from any claims arising from their own negligence, misconduct, breach of these Terms, or failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT. This agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.). You and Athlete House mutually agree to waive your respective rights to resolution of all disputes or claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Platform in a court of law by a judge or jury. Instead, you agree to resolve any dispute by a neutral arbitrator. a. Mandatory Arbitration: Any and all claims or disputes between you and Athlete House shall be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court. This includes, but is not limited to, any claims relating to the validity, enforceability, or scope of this arbitration provision. The arbitration will be administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures then in effect. b. Class Action Waiver: You and Athlete House agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. c. Delegation Provision: The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this arbitration agreement is void or voidable. d. 30-Day Right to Opt-Out: You have the right to opt out of this arbitration provision. If you do not wish to be bound by this arbitration provision, you must notify Athlete House in writing within 30 days of the date you first accept these Terms. Your written notification must be emailed to AthletehouseTX@gmail.com with the subject line "ARBITRATION OPT-OUT." Your notice must include your full name, address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of this arbitration agreement. e. Jury Trial Waiver: YOU AND ATHLETE HOUSE HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Athlete House are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of law principles. To the extent any lawsuit is permitted under these Terms (e.g., if you opt out of arbitration), you and Athlete House agree that any legal action or proceeding shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Travis County, Texas. You hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts.

Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other legal notices published by Athlete House, constitute the entire agreement between you and Athlete House concerning the Platform. Severability: 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, which shall remain in full force and effect. Survival: The following sections shall survive any termination of these Terms: Independent Contractor Relationship, Assumption of Risk, Release of Liability, Payments, Indemnification, Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, Dispute Resolution, and Governing Law. No Assignment: You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights hereunder without Athlete House's prior written consent. Athlete House may assign these Terms without restriction. Force Majeure: Athlete House shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations hereunder where such failure results from any cause beyond our reasonable control, including, without limitation, mechanical, electronic, or communications failure or degradation. Changes to Terms: Athlete House reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of material changes. Your continued use of the Platform after such changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. Notices: All notices to Athlete House must be sent in writing to support@athletehouse.com. Headings: The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
