If you use certain other features or related services, you will be provided with an opportunity to agree to additional terms that will also become a part of our agreement. If any of those terms conflict with this agreement, those other terms will govern.
  • If any aspect of this agreement is unenforceable, the rest will remain in effect.
  • Any amendment or waiver to our agreement must be in writing and signed by us. If we fail to enforce any aspect of this agreement, it will not be a waiver.
  • We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you.

Who Has Rights Under this Agreement.

  • This agreement does not give rights to any third parties.
  • You cannot transfer your rights or obligations under this agreement without our consent.
  • Our rights and obligations can be assigned to others. For example, this could occur if our ownership changes (as in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets) or by law.

Who Is Responsible if Something Happens.

  • Coachable is provided “as is” and we can’t guarantee it will be safe and secure or will work perfectly all the time. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE ALSO DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We also aren’t responsible for services and features offered by other people or companies, even if you access them through Coachable.
  • Our responsibility for anything that happens on Coachable (also called “liability”) is limited as much as the law will allow. If there is an issue with our service of Coachable, we can’t know what all the possible impacts might be. You agree that we won’t be responsible (“liable”) for any lost profits, revenues, information, or data, or consequential, special, indirect, exemplary, punitive, or incidental damages arising out of or related to these Terms, even if we know they are possible. This includes when we delete your content, information, profile or account. Our aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms will not exceed the greater of $150 or the amount you have paid us in the past twelve months.

You will cooperate as required by us in the defense of any claim. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you will not in any event settle any claim without our prior written consent.

How We Will Handle Disputes.

  • Except as provided below, you and we agree that any cause of action, legal claim, or dispute between you and us arising out of or related to these Terms or Coachable (“claim(s)”) must be resolved by arbitration on an individual basis. Class actions and class arbitrations are not permitted; you and we may bring a claim only on your own behalf and cannot seek relief that would affect other Coachable users. If there is a final judicial determination that any particular claim (or a request for particular relief) cannot be arbitrated in accordance with this provision’s limitations, then only that claim (or only that request for relief) may be brought in court. All other claims (or requests for relief) remain subject to this provision.
  • Instead of using arbitration, you or we can bring claims in your local “small claims” court, if the rules of that court will allow it. If you don’t bring your claims in small claims court (or if you or we appeal a small claims court judgment to a court of general jurisdiction), then the claims must be resolved by binding, individual arbitration. The American Arbitration Association will administer all arbitrations under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. You and we expressly waive a trial by jury.
  • The following claims don’t have to be arbitrated and may be brought in court: disputes related to intellectual property (like copyrights and trademarks), violations of our Platform Policy, or efforts to interfere with Coachable or engage with Coachable in unauthorized ways (for example, automated ways).

ATTN: Coachable Arbitration Opt-out, 1115 Ball St, Perry. GA 31069 USA
  • Before you commence arbitration of a claim, you must provide us with a written Notice of Dispute that includes your name, residence address, username, email address or phone number you use for your Coachable profile and account, a detailed description of the dispute, and the relief you seek. Any Notice of Dispute you send to us should be mailed to able Inc. ATTN: Coachable Arbitration Opt-out, 1115 Ball St, Perry. GA 31069 USA. Before we commence arbitration, we will send you a Notice of Dispute to the email address you use with your Coachable account, or other appropriate means. If we are unable to resolve a dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice of Dispute is received, you or we may commence arbitration.
  • For any claim that is not arbitrated or resolved in small claims court, you agree that it will be resolved exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia or a state court located in Houston County GA. You also agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of either of these courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim.
  • The laws of the State of Georgia, to the extent not preempted by or inconsistent with federal law, will govern these Terms and any claim, without regard to conflict of law provisions.

Coachable Social and Community Guidelines

 

The Basics…

We want Coachable to be an authentic and safe place for inspiration, analysis and skill development. Help us foster this community. Send only your own videos and always follow the law. Respect everyone on Coachable, don’t spam people or send them any inappropriate content.

 

In Detail..

Coachable is a community inclusive of many sporting cultures, incorporating a diverse range of ages, abilities, individual goals and expectations. As active members of the Coachable community we all need to respect the different points of view of others, so that we create and maintain a safe and positive environment for everyone.

 

These Social and Community Guidelines are created so you can help us foster and protect this amazing community. By using Coachable, you agree to these guidelines and the Coachable Terms of Use.  We are committed to these guidelines and ask that you are too. Overstepping these boundaries may result in deleted content, disabled accounts, removed profiles or other restrictions.

 

  • Send only photos and videos that you’ve taken or have the right to send.

As always, you own the content you send on Coachable. Remember to send authentic content, and don’t send anything you’ve copied or collected from the Internet that you don’t have the right to send.

  • Send clips and videos that are appropriate for a diverse audience.
  • We encourage coaches to create training clips and videos that will help athletes develop the specific skills they need. We ask that you consider your audience. Think about what may be appropriate for one client that may be inappropriate for another. Consider things like age, gender and beliefs. For example; If you are creating your own Coaching Packages, you may need to consider creating different packages for child athletes and adult athletes. We ask that all music, language and instructional techniques used are age appropriate.
  • At no time should foul language, cussing or derogatory terms be used. We ask that our Coachable coaching community maintains a level of professionalism; as you are representing Coachable, your sport, your organizations and yourself.
  • Send clips and videos that maintains the dignity of all involved.
  • We know that there are times when people will need to send images and videos of athletes who may be wearing minimal, or body forming clothing. While we understand that many sports require this attire (swimsuits, leotards, bodysuits) we certainly don’t allow any nudity on Coachable.
  • When sending an image or video of an athlete to a coach for analysis, please take time to ensure that the athlete is not inappropriately exposed in any way. This includes photos, videos, that may inadvertently show exposed genitals, buttocks and female nipples. This could occur from the movement of clothing or transparency of fabrics. Even when this content is sent unintentionally and the sender unaware of the exposure; it will need to be reported so we can ensure it is properly removed. This will help protect all members of our Coachable community, by ensuring the image cannot be used by others in unanticipated ways. If you receive any images that expose a coach or athlete in any way inappropriately, please contact the Coachable team using the report abuse button.

 

  • Only use clips and videos to help build athlete progress and confidence.
  • There are times when people might want to send videos that may depict poor athletic performance or sporting fails and may often be considered humorous in nature. Be mindful that such videos can embarrass those involved and destroy confidence. We ask that videos of Coachable athletes are not shared in this way, this goes against Coachable’s vision of; fostering an environment that helps athletes to make connections, that will support them and help them strive to succeed.
  • Foster meaningful and genuine interactions between all coaches and athletes.
  • Help us stay authentic and reputable, by not sending repetitive comments or content, or repeatedly contacting people for commercial purposes without their consent. Don’t offer money or giveaways of money in exchange for comments, organisation memberships, affiliations or other engagement. Don’t send content that engages in, promotes, encourages, facilitates, or admits to the offering, solicitation or trade of fake or misleading ratings or reviews.
  • You must use your real name on Coachable, but we require Coachable users to provide us with accurate and up to date information. Don’t impersonate others and don’t create profiles for the purpose of violating our guidelines or misleading others.
  • Follow the law.
  • Coachable is not a place to support or praise terrorism, organised crime or hate groups. Offering sexual services, buying or selling firearms, alcohol, and tobacco products between private individuals, and buying or selling illegal or prescription drugs (even if legal in your region) are also not allowed.
  • Remember to always follow the law when offering to sell or buy other regulated goods.
  • We have zero tolerance when it comes to sending any images, video or content, of a sexual or threatening nature, especially to minors.
  • Respect other members of the Coachable community.
  • We want to foster a positive, diverse community. We will remove content that contains threats or hate speech, content that targets private individuals to degrade or shame them, personal information meant to blackmail or harass someone, and repeated unwanted messages.
  • It’s never OK to encourage violence or attack anyone based on their race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, disabilities, or diseases.
  • Serious threats of harm to public and personal safety aren’t allowed. This includes specific threats of physical harm as well as threats of theft, vandalism, and other financial harm. We carefully review reports of threats and consider many things when determining whether a threat is credible.
  • Maintain our supportive environment by not glorifying self-injury.
  • The Coachable community cares for each other. The sporting world can be a place where people face enormous pressure and difficult issues such as eating disorders, cutting, or other kinds of self-injury can exist. If you need more information about self-harm please visit:  https://www.crisistextline.org/
  • Encouraging or urging people to embrace self-injury is counter to this environment of support, and we’ll remove it or disable accounts if it’s reported to us.

 

What happens if there is a breach of these guidelines?

  • Each of us is an important part of the Coachable community. If you see something that you think may violate our guidelines, please help us by using our built-in reporting function. We have a team that reviews these reports and works as quickly as possible to respond to content that doesn’t meet our guidelines. When you complete the report, try to provide as much information as possible, such as links, profile names, and descriptions of the content, so we can find and review it quickly. We may remove entire profiles if either the imagery or associated content violate our guidelines.
  • You may find content from a coach or athlete that you don’t like, but it doesn’t violate the Social and Community Guidelines. If that happens, you are free to disconnect from the coach / athlete that sent it, and chose not to have contact with them again.  If there’s something you don’t like in a comment on your profile, you can delete it.
  • Many disputes and misunderstandings can be resolved directly between members of the community. If another Coach is using one of your coaching clips or videos without realising it is your property, you could try messaging them and asking the person to remove it from their profile. If that doesn’t work, you can see how to report content that you think infringes your intellectual or creative property rights, by checking our Safety and Security policy.
  • We may work with law enforcement, including when we believe that there’s risk of physical harm, child protection issue or threat to public safety.

Updating of these policies and procedures

We may change our Service and policies, and we may need to make changes to these Terms so that they accurately reflect our Service and policies. Unless otherwise required by law, we will notify you (for example, through our Service) before we make changes to these Terms and give you an opportunity to review them before they go into effect. Then, if you continue to use the Service, you will be bound by the updated Terms.

 

Thank you for being an active part of our Coachable Sporting Community,

 

The Coachable Team.
