Nature of Our Site and Services

1. Site is a Venue. The Site provides a venue for people seeking lesson services ("Parents") to connect with people who want to provide those services ("Athletes", and collectively with Parents, "Users"). TopTier is not a referral, matching or placement service and does not provide, refer, place, offer or seek to obtain employment or engagements for any of its Users. TopTier does not control or direct the Athletes' performance of their services or set their work locations, work hours, or terms of work. Businesses procure and Athletes provide services under their own name or business name, and not under TopTier's name. Users provide their own tools and supplies to perform their Engagements; TopTier does not provide the tools or supplies. All Users are free to maintain business without any restrictions from TopTier and are free to offer and provide their services elsewhere, including through competing platforms. TopTier has no obligation to screen or verify the identity or background of any User. TopTier does not screen or verify the training or experience of any of the Users, including Users who have Subscriptions, or any content submitted by a User or anyone other than TopTier ("User Content"), including but not limited to User Profiles and Reviews. TopTier has no control over the accuracy, reliability, completeness or timeliness of Profiles, Reviews, background check information, affiliations or other User Content submitted on the Site, and makes no representations about any such User Content on the Site TopTier further makes no representations about the Athletes or the Parents. You should make your own assessments of the persons you decide to interact with, engage or provide services to.


2. Transactions Are Solely Between Users. TopTier is not involved in the Service arrangements between Users. Users arrange for the Services solely between themselves, and TopTier is not a party to any of those arrangements. TopTier does not have control, supervise or provide any training or equipment to the Athletes, and has no control over the quality, timing, legality, failure to provide, or any other aspect whatsoever of the services provided by Athletes. Because we are not involved in User-to-User dealings or control the behavior of Users, Users must resolve any issues, disputes or concerns directly with each other, including any issues regarding payments to an Athlete or services received by a Parent. As set forth in Section 15, you agree to release TopTier from any claims or liability that may arise from any disputes between you and other Users. TopTier is not an employment service and does not serve as an employer of any User. As such, Users are solely responsible (and TopTier is not responsible), for any tax, workers' compensation insurance, withholding or reporting, including, but not limited to, unemployment insurance, social security or payroll withholding tax or income reporting in connection with any services provided by Users. You understand and agree that if TopTier is found to be liable for any tax, workers' compensation insurance, withholding tax or reporting obligation in connection with any services provided or received by you, then you will immediately reimburse and indemnify TopTier for all costs, expenses and liabilities (including any interest and penalties) relating to the same. If requested by TopTier, you agree to provide TopTier with such identification documents (including social security numbers, tax ID numbers, copies of passports and driver's licenses) or other information as may be needed or requested by TopTier.

3. Our Right to Use Your User Content. By posting User Content to the Site, you grant, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant, to TopTier, its Affiliated Parties, licensees and successors, an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, fully-paid, royalty-free, worldwide right and license to use, copy, perform, display, reproduce, adapt, modify and distribute such information and content in any media (including but not limited to print, email, digital and/or Internet) and to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, such information and content, for any purpose as deemed appropriate by TopTier including, but not limited to, promotional, publicity, marketing or advertising purposes, and to grant and authorize sublicenses of the foregoing, without further review, notification or approval by you or additional consideration to you.


4. Review and Recommendation Guidelines. Parents will have the opportunity to provide Reviews and Recommendations about Athletes. Athletes will have the opportunity to provide Reviews about Parents. Reviews may only be given by Parents who have officially booked an Athlete through the Site and by Athletes who have officially accepted and completed a booking from a Parent on the site. Recommendations may be given by Parents (e.g., Parents who have previously employed the Athlete but not through the Site). Reviews and Recommendations should not include any personal information about a User that is not disclosed in the User's public Profile (for example, the Review and Recommendations should not include or reference a User's address or phone number), should be limited to your firsthand experience (not what you heard from someone else) and should be factually accurate. Reviews should reflect your experience with the User. Recommendations (as opposed to Reviews) should reflect Parent's positive experiences with an Athlete. Negative content should not be submitted as part of a Recommendation and such content may be removed by TopTier, at our sole discretion. You should avoid broad generalizations and exaggerations. If appropriate, you should update your Reviews and Recommendations to reflect new experiences. As with other User Content, we reserve the right to remove any Review or Recommendation that we feel, in our sole discretion, violates these guidelines.

Third Party Verification Service

1. Background Checks Ordered by Athletes. To use the Services, an Athlete must confirm that they have cleared a verification check from one or more third-party verification services (each, a "3rd Party Verification Service") made available during the registration process that allows the Athlete to provide verification that they have completed a background check. Background checks are conducted through the 3rd Party Verification Service's website, and the background check and an Athletes or Parent's relationship with the 3rd Party Verification Service are subject to the 3rd Party Verification Services website's terms of service and privacy policy. Each User understands that TopTier retains the right, but has no obligation, to take action with respect to an Athletes TopTier account based on the information contained in the background check report, including, but not limited to, terminating the Athletes account, regardless of whether incorrect or incomplete information in the report is subsequently corrected or completed. The background check is conducted solely by the 3rd Party Verification Service (and not TopTier). TopTier does not endorse, have any control over, or make any representations regarding the quality, accuracy, completeness or reliability of, and TopTier will not have any liability for the information provided by the 3rd Party Verification Service. Any inaccuracies or disputes regarding information contained in a background check report must be addressed with the 3rd Party Verification Service that provided the report (and not TopTier). Please note that 3rd Party Verification Services may be incomplete, not up-to-date, and may not provide all information about an Athlete that may be relevant to you such as, for example, traffic violations, address verification, and pending criminal and/or civil complaints. Accordingly, you should take such actions as you feel are appropriate to evaluate an Athletes background.


2. Background or Verification Checks Ordered by TopTier. To the extent permitted by law, TopTier has the right, but not the obligation, to order a background check on Athletes from a 3rd Party Verification Service and to use 3rd Party Verification Services to verify information about a User including, but not limited to, verification of your account or registration information or your compliance with these Terms of Service. If the 3rd Party Verification Service reports that a Athlete has cleared the 3rd Party Verification Services background check, at TopTier's discretion, this information may be included on the Athletes Profile along with the date the Athlete completed the background check for a period of up to 13 months from the background check date (it shall be the Athletes responsibility to reinitiate, if the Athlete chooses, a new background check; failure to initiate and clear a new background check may result in the Athlete being unable to use the Services). Each User understands that TopTier retains the right, but has no obligation, to take action with respect to an Athletes TopTier account based on the information provided by the 3rd Party Verification Service, including, but not limited to, terminating the Athletes account, regardless of whether incorrect or incomplete information provided by such 3rd Party Verification Service is subsequently corrected or completed. TopTier does not have any control over, or make any representations regarding the quality, accuracy, completeness or reliability of the information provided by the 3rd Party Verification Service. Any inaccuracies or disputes regarding information provided by a 3rd Party Verification Service must be addressed with the 3rd Party Verification Service that provided the information (and not TopTier). By agreeing to these Terms of Service, each Athlete consents to TopTier performing background and/or verification checks on such Athlete to the extent permitted by law. If you, as a Athlete, do not want these checks performed, do not use the Site or the Services.

Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (the "FCRA"), we are notifying you that the 3rd Party Verification Service may be a consumer reporting agency subject to the FCRA and the reports issued by the 3rd Party Verification Service may be "consumer reports" subject to the FCRA. Consumer reports may contain information on your character, general reputation, personal characteristics, and mode of living, including, but not limited to, consumer credit, criminal history, workers' compensation, driving, employment, military, civil, and educational data and reports. If TopTier takes adverse action with respect to your account based on information contained in a consumer report, TopTier will notify you and provide you the name and contact information of the 3rd Party Verification Service that created the report. TopTier will also provide you a copy of the report unless the 3rd Party Verification Service already provided you a copy of the report or access to it.

If you use or access information provided by a 3rd Party Verification Service, you warrant that you will use such information only for a purpose permitted by the FCRA and that you will comply with any and all applicable obligations of the FCRA, which can be found at FTC's website as well as all other applicable consumer reporting laws.

Third Party Sites

The Site may include links to other websites (including other sites that are framed within the Site) or applications, or functionality to connect with other websites such as Facebook (each, a "Third Party Site") or advertisements. We do not control or endorse any Third Party Site or advertisements, and we are not responsible for any content, product, advertising and other materials presented in or provided by such Third Party Site or advertisement. Your use and access of a Third Party Site is at your own risk, and is subject to the terms and conditions for such Third Party Site.

Payment, Subscription, and Refund Policies

1. Fees and Subscriptions. Where indicated on the Site, fees are charged to access and use certain Services on the Site. For example, Users may purchase subscriptions memberships, and access passes, ("Subscriptions") to use and access certain Services ("Premium Services") that are not available to Users who do not have Subscriptions.


2. Subscription Renewals and Cancellation. Subscriptions, with the exception of access passes, will continue until canceled by the User. At the end of your Subscription period, your Subscription will automatically renew for the same Subscription period (for example, monthly or annually) at the then-current Subscription rate for the applicable Subscription plan, unless you cancel your Subscription before it renews. For example, if you signed up for an annual Subscription plan, at the end of the initial one-year period if you haven't yet canceled your Subscription, your Subscription will be automatically renewed for another one-year period at the then-current rate for annual Subscriptions. For any automatic renewal, you authorize TopTier to charge your selected payment method the then-current applicable fee in accordance with the Subscription plan you selected. To cancel your Subscription, complete the subscription cancellation form. The cancellation will be effective at the end of your then current Subscription term. If you cancel your Subscription, you will continue to have access to your Premium Services associated with your Subscription until the cancellation becomes effective. All fees and charges are nonrefundable and there are no refunds or credits once your account has been billed, including if you cancel your Subscription and/or account. All Premium Services cease when your Subscription's cancellation becomes effective; your Subscription will not renew thereafter. Upon the effective cancellation of your Subscription, you will no longer have access to Premium Services, but you will continue to have access to your account and portions of the Site and Services that are available to Users who do not have Subscriptions. Canceling your Subscription will not delete your account. To deactivate your account please email cara@toptierlessons.com


3. Free Trials and Promotional Offers. TopTier may offer limited time, free trial Subscriptions or Promotional Offers from time to time. Users under a free trial Subscription will have access to such Premium Services as decided by TopTier. TopTier may require a User to provide the User's payment information to start a free trial. For such free trials, TopTier may automatically charge the User for the Subscription on the first day following the end of the free trial period, on a recurring monthly or annual basis or as otherwise described in the offer for the free trial. To avoid such charges, Users with free trial Subscriptions must cancel their Subscription before the end of the free trial period. Promotional Offers, which may include discount codes or account credits toward fees, may be subject to expiration dates and may only be applicable to select Users.


4. Payment Information. If you purchase a Subscription (or have a free trial Subscription), use TopTier's Online Payment Service or otherwise use any of TopTier's fee-based Services, you agree to TopTier storing your payment card information. Users with Subscriptions are responsible for maintaining current and accurate payment card information associated with their accounts. Without limiting Section 5.a., TopTier may terminate a User's Subscription and/or account if the User's payment card information is expired or is otherwise invalid.

Online Payment Service

TopTier offers an online payment service ("Online Payment Service") to facilitate payments from Parents to Athletes. The Online Payment Service may be subject to availability based on geographic area, Subscription enrollment or other basis, as determined by TopTier. Athletes must accept payments through the Online Payment Service and, where available, Parents booking with Athletes may choose to make payments online to Athletes. Please refer to TopTier's Online Payment Terms and Conditions for additional information and terms and conditions governing use of this service.

SMS Text Message Alert Service

By providing TopTier with your mobile phone number, you consent to TopTier sending text messages to your cellular phone and/or mobile device. TopTier does not charge for sending text messages, but your carrier may charge you.

Users of TopTier's mobile applications may have the option to receive push notification alerts from TopTier. If push notification alerts are available, you will be given an option to consent to receiving them after you download the application. You may also adjust your push notification settings after you have downloaded the application in your mobile device settings.

Promotional Offers and Credits

From time to time, TopTier may offer special promotions, credits, awards or discounts ("Promotions"). All Promotions will be run at the sole discretion of TopTier, and can be modified or terminated at any time by TopTier with or without advance notice. Promotions may be offered on a limited time basis and may be subject to certain restrictions, terms and conditions (which will be described at the time of the Promotion). As part of a Promotion, TopTier may offer fee or reward credits to its Users. Fee or reward credits are non-transferrable, not redeemable for cash, and may be subject to other terms and conditions.
