2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

  • The Company provides an online platform that allows coaches (“Coaches”) and individuals seeking coaching with regards to improving their performance on certain racing simulation computer programs (“Students”) to connect with one another (the “Coaching Platform”).

  • The Company is not a provider of Coaching Services. The Company’s role is solely to facilitate the availability of the Coaching Platform. Similarly, the Company is not a contracting agent or representative of any Coach or Student. Coaches are independent contractors and are not employees or agents of the Company. As a Coach, you agree that you are an independent contractor, that you are not an employee or agent of the Company, and that nothing in these Terms will be construed as establishing an employment or agency relationship between you and the Company. You have no authority to bind the Company by contract or otherwise. You will determine, in your sole discretion, the manner and means by which you provide Coaching Services in connection with these Terms, subject to the requirement that you will at all times comply with applicable law. You will not be entitled to any benefits paid or made available by the Company to its employees, including, without limitation, any vacation, sick leave or similar pay or benefit, or to participate in any plans, arrangements or distributions made by the Company pertaining to any bonus, stock option, profit sharing, insurance or similar benefits.

  • As a registered Coach, you may be entitled to receive a payment from Students for the provision of Coaching Services. The Company shall set the amount that will be charged for your Coaching Sessions (the “Session Fees”) ahead of time, and this information will be displayed publicly in our searchable database. When a Student signs up for a Coaching Session with you, we will notify them of the Session Fees. Once the Coaching Session is completed, we will charge the Student’s credit/debit card and will (within a reasonable period of time not to exceed 30 days) transfer the Session Fees to you, minus our service charge (the “Service Charge”). The Service Charge shall consist of a percentage of the total Session Fees, at the rate of 35%.
  • As a registered Coach, you may also be asked by the Company to create content for Virtual Racing School, including, but not limited to, Data Packs, video tutorials, text articles, webinars.

By continuing to provide Coaching Services after we have posted a modification on the Site or have provided you with notice of a modification, you are indicating that you agree to be bound by the modified Coaching Fee rates. If the modified Coaching Fee rates are not acceptable to you, your only recourse is to cease providing Coaching Services via the Services.
  • Please note that if Coaching Fees sent by the Company to you in accordance with these Terms is later invalidated or reversed for any reason (e.g. a Student requests a refund), you will be liable to the Company for the full amount of the Coaching Fees that the Company sent to you and any fees related thereto.

You will also be responsible for the applicable Service Charge if you fail to provide Coaching Services that you previously agreed to provide to a Student, and the Company is forced thereby to return the Coaching Fees to the Student. You agree that any amounts owed by you to the Company may be deducted directly from future Coaching Fees processed by the Company for you.
