INTRODUCTION
1.The Platform. This website, as well as any other HatchPath, LLC, (“HatchPath”) branded media form, media channel, mobile website or mobile application related, linked, or otherwise connected to this website is collectively referred to as the “Site”. The platform (the “Platform”) is part of the Site and provides an online venue that enables registered users (“Members”) to publish information about, offer, search for, post coaching requests for, message Members about, book, and use services. Members who publish information about themselves and offer services are “Coaches”. Members who search for, post coaching requests for, book, and use services are “Clients.” Coaches offer coaching services (“Coaching Services”) and deliver Coaching Services via the Platform in sessions (“Sessions”). The Platform also provides communications and invoicing tools.
2.These Terms Apply to You. These Terms constitutes a legally binding agreement between you, whether personally or on behalf of any legal entity, including a partnership, (“you” and, where applicable, “your”) and HatchPath, concerning your access to, and use of, the Site and the Platform. These Terms, as changed by HatchPath from time to time, remain in full force for as long as you use the Site and/or the Platform. To access many of the features of the Platform, you first must agree that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by all of these Terms. IF, HOWEVER, YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THESE TERMS, THEN YOU ARE EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED FROM USING THE SITE AND THE PLATFORM AND YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE USE OF THE SITE AND THE PLATFORM. YOUR USE OF THE SITE AND/OR THE PLATFORM CONSTITUTES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS AND YOUR AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND AND ABIDE BY THESE TERMS. HatchPath’s policies referred to in these Terms and any supplemental terms and documents that may be posted on the Site from time to time are expressly incorporated into these Terms by reference.
3. HatchPath’s Role. HatchPath has developed the Platform to facilitate the connection between Coaches and Clients. HatchPath seeks to ensure that all Members have great experiences using HatchPath; however, HatchPath is not in the business of providing Coaching Services. Coaches and Clients may enter into contracts between themselves for the delivery of Coaching Services in Sessions. HatchPath is not a party to any contract between a Coach and a Client. HatchPath is not a broker or insurer respecting the relationship or contract between a Coach and a Client or in respect of any Client, Coach, Coaching Services, or Session. HatchPath is not acting as an agent in any capacity for any Member. In addition, HatchPath does not:
a. own, control, manage, supervise, monitor, endorse, or make offers on behalf of, any Coach;
b. control, manage, supervise, monitor, endorse, or make offers on behalf of, any Client;
c. control, manage, monitor, endorse, or supervise any Coaching Services; or
d. control, manage, monitor, endorse, supervise, offer, or book any Sessions.
4. Role of Coaches and Clients. You must create a password-protected account (“Account”) to access and use many features of the Platform. The Platform enables Members to provide postings, coaching requests, scheduling, messages, calendar information, text, displays, data, photographs, images, graphics, music, audio, video, information, reviews of Coaches by Clients (“Reviews”), feedback, suggestions, questions and comments and other content (collectively, “Content”). The Platform is where Coaches publish Content about themselves and about their Coaching Services, including tags that indicate the types of Coaching Services provided. The Platform is also where Clients search for Coaching Services and create coaching requests (“Coaching Requests”) through which Clients invite Coaches to bid to deliver the applicable Coaching Services. The Platform provides each Client with an easy to complete template to post a Coaching Request. Coaching Requests include a description of what Coaching Services the Client is seeking, the desired budget range, and tags to specify further what the Client is seeking. A Client may also invite specific Coaches to respond to the Client’s Coaching Request. The Platform will message Coaches after a Coaching Request is posted if the Platform determines that the Coaches are likely qualified to provide the requested Coaching Services. The Platform will also message each Coach who is specifically requested in a Coaching Request. Each Coach may also, at any time, review all the outstanding Coaching Requests and respond to any ones where such Coach believes that the Coach is qualified to provide the requested Coaching Services. The Platform provides each Coach with an easy to complete template to respond to a Coaching Request. The Platform will message the Client each time that a Coach responds to the Client’s Coaching Request. Once a Client receives a response to a Coaching Request, the Client may begin messaging the Coach through the Platform to determine whether or not the Client and the Coach would like to book one or more Sessions. The Platform allows Coaches and Clients to connect in audio and/or video for the delivery of Sessions. Nothing in a Session will constitute Content, unless the participants consent in writing. You must exercise caution, good sense and sound judgment in providing or using Coaching Services. So long as you are eligible to use the Platform and comply with these Terms, you are granted a limited license to access and use the Site and the Platform and to download or print a copy of any part of the Platform or Content to which you have properly gained access, solely for your personal, non-commercial use.
5. No Use of Site Where Prohibited. None of the Site, the Platform, nor any Content is intended for distribution to, or use by any individual or legal entity, including a partnership, in any jurisdiction where such distribution or use would be contrary to applicable law or regulation or which would subject HatchPath to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction. Accordingly, those individuals or legal entities, including partnerships, who access the Site or the Platform from any such jurisdiction do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with applicable local laws and regulations.
CLIENTS
6. HatchPath’s Mission. HatchPath’s mission is to help you reach your highest possible potential by putting you in contact with all the Coaches on the Platform. The Platform is intended to connect you with the highest quality Coaches from all over the United States and Canada (and other participating countries) to match your unique requirements.
7. Searching for Coaches. On the Platform, you can search for Coaching Services by using criteria like the type of Coaching Services, illness, ailment, desired result, symptom, coach’s name, and more. You can also use filters to refine your search results. Search results are based on the Platform’s assessment of the results’ relevance to your search and other criteria. Relevance considers factors like a Client’s search parameters, price, availability, Reviews, type of Coaching Services, Coach status, popularity, customer service, cancellation history, ease of booking, booking cut-off time, saved Coaches, and more. Learn more about search results in HatchPath’s Help Center. It is your responsibility, and no one else’s, to determine whether a Coach can meet your requirements with a Coach’s Coaching Services before you book a Session.
8. Contracting with Coaches – Booking Sessions. When you book a Session, you are agreeing to pay all applicable fees, other charges, and taxes for your Session, including HatchPath’s Service Fee (as that term is defined in section 28) and any other amounts identified during checkout. When you receive the booking confirmation for any Session, a contract for Coaching Services is automatically formed directly between you and the Coach. The Coach’s cancellation policy, if any, and any other policies or requirements identified in the booking confirmation or during checkout form part of your contract with the Coach. When you book a Session or Sessions, you must also pay for the Session or Sessions in accordance with section 29.
9. Reviews. After each Session, you will have an opportunity to submit a Review. Your Review must be accurate and may not contain any discriminatory, offensive, defamatory, or other language that violates HatchPath’s Content Policy or Review Policy or any applicable law or regulation. Bear in mind that as HatchPath does not verify Reviews for accuracy, Reviews may, therefore, be incorrect or misleading.
10. Booking Changes. Clients and Coaches are responsible for changes to any booking they agree to make through the Platform or in any other manner (“Booking Changes”). The Client will pay all additional fees, other charges, and taxes, if any, associated with any Booking Change, unless the Coach requested the Booking Change, in which case the Coach will pay all additional fees, other charges, and taxes, if any, associated with such Booking Change. If either or both of the Client and the Coach are unable to access the Platform for all or a substantial part of a Session because the Platform is not functioning properly, the Client and the Coach may change the booking for such Session without any additional fees.
11. Cancellations and Refunds. You may cancel all your upcoming Sessions with a Coach if the cancellation is made at least 24 hours before the scheduled start time of the next Session. HatchPath’s Refund Policy will apply to such a cancellation. If the Coach cancels all your remaining Sessions, you will be eligible for a refund under HatchPath’s Refund Policy.
12. Your Responsibilities. You are responsible and liable for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of anyone you invite to join, or directly or indirectly provide access to, any Session. In respect of any Session, you must act with integrity, treat others with respect, and comply with applicable laws and regulations at all times. If you are booking a Session in which a Minor (as defined in section 41) is expected to participate, or if you bring a Minor to a Session, you must be legally authorized to act on behalf of the Minor and you are solely responsible for acts and omissions of that Minor.
13. Your Assumption of Risk. You acknowledge that many activities carry inherent risks. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and regulation, you assume the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the Site, the Platform, any Content and any Coaching Services. This obligation means it is your responsibility to investigate a Coaching Service to determine whether it is safe and suitable for you. Coaches are not medical professionals, and they do not provide medical services, including psychotherapy or other mental health counseling, or render medical advice. Nothing contained in any Coaching Services should be construed as such advice or a diagnosis. If you expect to engage in any physical activities in respect of your Coaching Services, you are urged and advised to seek the advice of a physician or other licensed medical professional with any questions you may have respecting your health before beginning any such physical activities.
COACHES
14. Coaches. As a Coach, the Platform offers you the opportunity to share your Coaching Services with HatchPath’s entire community of Clients – and earn money doing it. It is easy to create and manage your own page (your “Page”) on the Platform to offer your Coaching Services. You are in control of how you coach, including by setting your own price, availability, and rules for your Coaching Services. For a Coach which is not an individual, but a legal entity, including a partnership, then, where applicable in these Terms, the defined term “Coach” also includes a reference to all employees, contractors, representatives and agents who may provide Coaching Services on behalf of the legal entity, including a partnership. Each Coach will ensure that all of the Coach’s employees, contractors, representatives and agents who may provide Coaching Services on behalf of such Coach, will adhere to these Terms as if each such employee, contractor, representative or agent were bound by these Terms. By creating an Account, each Coach represents and warrants to HatchPath that such Coach is properly and fully qualified and experienced, and licensed, certified, bonded, and insured, as required by applicable laws or regulations to which such Coach may be subject in the jurisdiction in which such Coach offers Coaching Services and in respect of the type of Coaching Services to be offered and provided. Each Coach will comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including, where applicable, the California Consumer Privacy Act, in each Coach’s use of the Platform and any personal information obtained from the Platform. You must include in your Page complete and accurate information about your Coaching Services, price, any other charges, and additional terms, if any, that apply to your Clients or Coaching Services. You must at all times keep your Page up to date and accurate, including your calendar availability and Content, including qualifications and certifications.
15. Contracting with Clients. When you accept a booking request for a Session or Sessions, or receive a booking confirmation through the Platform, you are automatically entering into a contract directly with the Client to deliver your Coaching Services under the terms and at the price specified in your booking confirmation. You must supply all business and tax information required by the Platform’s third party payment services provider. Based on the information that you provide to HatchPath about a Session or Sessions, HatchPath will calculate, or cause to be calculated, all applicable fees, other charges, and taxes respecting the Session or Sessions, including HatchPath’s Service Fee (as that term is defined in section 28). HatchPath will deduct, or cause to be deducted, amounts owed to HatchPath from payments to be made by HatchPath to you, unless HatchPath and you agree in writing to a different method. Any additional terms respecting any Session that you add to the contract with a Client must:
a. be consistent with these Terms, including HatchPath’s policies, and your Content; and
b. be prominently disclosed on your Page.
16. Independence of Coaches. Each Coach’s relationship with HatchPath is that of an independent contractor, and not an employee, dependent contractor, agent, joint venturer, partner, licensee or other representative of HatchPath. HatchPath is not an employer, contractor, agent, joint venturer, broker, partner, licensee or other representative of you. HatchPath does not direct or control your Coaching Services, and you have complete discretion whether and when to provide Coaching Services, at what price and, subject to section 15, on the terms you will offer Coaching Services.
17. Insurance. HatchPath recommends that you obtain appropriate insurance for your Coaching Services and suggests that you carefully review policy terms, including coverage details and exclusions. HATCHPATH DOES NOT HAVE IN PLACE ANY INSURANCE THAT WILL PROVIDE COVERAGE TO ANY COACHES.
18. Know Your Legal Obligations. You are solely responsible for understanding and complying with all applicable laws, regulations, licensing requirements, and obligations to third parties, including Clients, and including all applicable United States and international patent, copyright, moral rights, trademark, and trade secret laws and regulations and other intellectual property and proprietary rights (collectively, “Intellectual Property Rights”) and privacy and publicity rights, that apply to your Content, your Page, or your Coaching Services. HatchPath recommends that you seek legal advice if you have any question about how any applicable law, regulation, licensing requirement, or obligation to a third party, including a Client, and including Intellectual Property Rights, privacy rights and publicity rights, applies to you.
19. Search Ranking. The ranking of Pages in search results on the Platform depends on a variety of relevance factors. Relevance considers factors like a Client’s search parameters, price, availability, Reviews, number and quality of images, type of Coaching Services, Coach status, popularity, customer service, cancellation history, ease of booking, booking cut-off time, saved Coaches, and more. Learn more about search results in HatchPath’s Help Center. Search results may appear different on either HatchPath’s mobile website or mobile application part of the Site than they appear on HatchPath’s main website part of the Site. HatchPath may allow Coaches to promote their Pages in search or elsewhere on the Platform by paying an additional fee. More information about the factors that determine how your Page appears in search results, HatchPath’s current promotional programs (if any), and how HatchPath identifies promoted Content can be found in HatchPath’s Help Center.
20. Your Primary Responsibilities. You are solely responsible:
a. and liable for your own acts and omissions in respect of your Content, Clients and/or the Platform;
b. and liable for the acts and omissions of anyone you allow to participate in providing your Coaching Services;
c. for setting your price for Coaching Services and clearly setting out all fees, other charges and taxes on your Page; and
d. clearly establishing additional terms for your Sessions and prominently displaying such additional terms on your Page.You may not collect from any Client any additional fees, other charges or taxes outside the Platform. You may not require or encourage Clients to create an account, submit a review, complete a survey or otherwise interact with a third party website, application or service that in any way directly competes with HatchPath. You may not require or encourage Clients to provide their contact information or violate HatchPath’s Off Platform Policy. **1. Your Assumption of Risk. You confirm to HatchPath that offering and providing Coaching Services carries inherent risks and that you agree that you assume the sole risk arising in respect of:
e. your access to, and use of, the Site, the Platform and your Page;
f. your offering and providing of Coaching Services; and
g. any interaction you have with other Members and/or any other individuals and/or entities, whether online or in person.You confirm to HatchPath that you have had a sufficient opportunity to investigate the Site, the Platform and all applicable laws, regulations, licensing requirements, and obligations to third parties, including Intellectual Property Rights, privacy rights and publicity rights, that may be applicable to your Content, Page or Coaching Services. You also confirm to HatchPath that you are not relying on any statement of law, regulation, licensing requirement, or obligation to a third party made by HatchPath.**
21. Cancellations of Sessions. If a Client cancels all your remaining Sessions, the amount payable to you, if any, is determined by HatchPath’s Refund Policy. You may cancel all your remaining Sessions with a Client if the cancellation is made at least 24 hours before the scheduled start time of the next Session. HatchPath’s Refund Policy will apply to such a cancellation. If HatchPath pays a Client a refund respecting a Session after you have already been paid, HatchPath may recover that amount from you, including by offsetting the refund against any of your future payments. HatchPath’s Refund Policy and these Terms supersede any cancellation policy that you establish for any Client. If HatchPath reasonably expects to provide, or is considering providing, a refund to a Client under HatchPath’s Refund Policy, HatchPath may delay any payment to you for that cancelled Session, or a Session where the Client did not attend, until HatchPath makes a refund decision.
22. Booking Changes. Coaches and Clients are responsible for any Booking Changes they agree to make through the Platform or in any other manner. The Client will pay all additional fees, other charges, and taxes, if any, associated with any Booking Change, unless the Coach requested the Booking Change, in which case the Coach will pay all additional fees, other charges, and taxes, if any, associated with such Booking Change. If either or both of the Client and the Coach are unable to access the Platform for all or a substantial part of a Session because the Platform is not functioning properly, the Client and the Coach may change the booking for such Session without any additional fees.
23. Taxes and Professional Advice. As a Coach, you are responsible for determining and fulfilling your obligations under applicable laws and regulations to report, collect, remit, and include in your price any applicable taxes. You acknowledge and agree that HatchPath does not provide any legal, accounting, financial, tax or other professional advice to any Coach. No Coach should take any action based on any information obtained through the Site or the Platform without first seeking independent professional advice from an attorney, accountant, financial advisor, or other person who is appropriately licensed and/or qualified in the applicable field and in the Coach’s jurisdiction.
COACHES
24. Accounts. To register for the Site, you must create an Account to access and use certain parts of the Platform, including the part that allows Members to book a Session or Sessions. If you are an individual, you may only become a Member and use the entire Platform if you have the power to form a contract with HatchPath. If you do not have the power to form a contract, including because you are a Minor (as defined in section 41), you may not become a Member or use the part of the Platform that only Members can use. If you are not an individual, you, as a legal entity, including a partnership, represent and warrant that you are validly formed and existing under the applicable laws and regulations of your jurisdiction of formation, that the individual acting on your behalf has the full power and authority to enter into these Terms on your behalf, and that such individual has been duly authorized as your agent to bind you to these Terms. You represent and warrant to HatchPath that you are not an individual or legal entity, including a partnership, barred from using the Platform under the applicable laws and regulations of the United States, your place of residence, or any other applicable jurisdiction. You must provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and keep your Account information up-to-date. You may not register more than one Account or transfer your Account to someone else. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your Account credentials, including any password, and may not disclose your credentials to any third party. You may not use a user name that is inappropriate or otherwise objectionable. You are responsible and liable for activities conducted through your Account and must immediately notify HatchPath if you suspect that any of your credentials have been lost, stolen, or your Account is otherwise compromised. You must exit from your Account each time that you are finished using the Platform. HatchPath may suspend or terminate any Account that has not been used for a prolonged period.

a. ask you to provide identification or other information;
b. undertake checks designed to help verify your identity or background;
c. screen you against third party databases or other sources and request reports from service providers; and
d. obtain reports from public records of criminal convictions or sex offender registrations or their local equivalents.

HatchPath may determine, in its sole judgment, rightful control of an Account. If HatchPath is unable to reasonably determine the rightful control of an Account, HatchPath may suspend the Account until the dispute is resolved by the disputing parties.
25. Logging on Through Social Networking Sites. You may access your Account through certain online third party services, such as Facebook (“Social Networking Sites”). If you access your account through a Social Networking Site, HatchPath may first ask you to authenticate, register for or log into the applicable Social Networking Site. The Social Networking Site may provide us certain information that you have provided to such Social Networking Site. HatchPath will use, store and disclose such information in accordance with HatchPath’s Privacy Policy. The manner in which Social Networking Sites, however, use, store and disclose your information is governed solely by the policies of such third parties. HatchPath enables these features to accessing your Account merely as a convenience and the integration or inclusion of such features does not imply an approval, endorsement or recommendation by HatchPath.
26. Content. Certain of your Content is uploaded to your Page. HatchPath may place your Content and your Page in what HatchPath considers to be the most appropriate location on the Platform or the Site. You are responsible for uploading, maintaining, and making backups of your Content. You may not represent or imply to Members that your Content or Coaching Services are in any way sponsored, provided by, or endorsed by, HatchPath. HatchPath may, but is not obliged to, monitor any Content from time to time and may request that you provide any supporting consents or other documents. You retain ownership of all of your Intellectual Property Rights in your Content. HatchPath does not claim ownership rights in your Content and nothing in these Terms restricts your rights to use and exploit any of your Content. By providing Content, however, in whatever form and through whatever means, you grant HatchPath a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid up, unrestricted, irrevocable, perpetual, sub-licensable, and transferable right and license to copy, reproduce, modify, edit, reformat, excerpt, adapt, publish, display, communicate to the public, transmit, distribute, upload, stream, broadcast, translate, store, cache, sub-license, create derivative works of, incorporate into other works, transfer, sell, rent, loan, derive revenue from, and otherwise use, that Content in whole or in part and with or without the use of your name, image, and/or voice, without limitation, and you waive, to the maximum amount permitted by applicable law and regulation, all moral rights. If Content includes personal information, HatchPath’s Privacy Policy describes how HatchPath uses that personal information. Where HatchPath pays for the creation of Content or facilitates its creation, HatchPath may own that Content, in which case supplemental terms or disclosures will so indicate. You represent and warrant to HatchPath that you solely own all your Content and/or are authorized to grant HatchPath the rights described in this section 27 in your Content. You are both solely responsible for, and liable if, any of your Content violates or infringes any Intellectual Property Rights, privacy rights, or publicity rights of any third party or otherwise breaches any applicable law or regulation. HatchPath does not pre-screen Content that is uploaded to the Platform. You will ensure that all your Content:
a. is truthful, accurate, complete and not misleading;
b. does not breach any of these Terms, applicable laws or regulations;
c. does not ridicule, mock, disparage or abuse HatchPath or any third party (including any other Member);
d. does not harass, intimidate, or threaten HatchPath or any third party (including any other Member);
e. does not advocate, encourage, or incite violence against HatchPath or any third party (including any other Member);
f. does not contain any material that is obscene, profane, pornographic, fraudulent, defamatory, libelous, slanderous, or otherwise objectionable; and
g. does not contain any material that violates any Intellectual Property Rights, privacy rights or publicity rights of any third party (including any other Member). HatchPath has no obligation to monitor the Site, the Platform, any Page or any Content for inappropriate or unlawful Content and has no responsibility or liability respecting any Page or Content, including, claims for defamation, libel, slander, infringement, invasion of privacy, violation of publicity rights, obscenity, profanity, pornography, fraud, or misrepresentation. Accordingly, by using the Site and the Platform, you may be exposed to Content that is offensive, indecent, and/or objectionable. HatchPath disclaims any perceived, implied or actual duty to monitor any Content, and specifically disclaims any responsibility or liability respecting any Page or Content.
27. Fees. HatchPath may charge fees, other charges, and taxes (and which amount is currently calculated as 10% of the total amount charged to the Client for each Session and 20% of the total charged to the Coach, plus all applicable taxes) (collectively, “HatchPath’s Service Fee”) to Coaches and Clients for use of the Platform. More information about when HatchPath’s Service Fee is charged can be found both in section 29(d) and in HatchPath’s Refund Policy. Except as expressly otherwise provided by HatchPath’s Refund Policy, HatchPath’s Service Fee is non-refundable once a Session is booked. HatchPath may change HatchPath’s Service Fee at any time, and will provide Members notice before any such change becomes effective. Any change to HatchPath’s Service Fee will not affect, however, Sessions booked before the effective date of such change. You are solely responsible for all internet service provider and wireless service provider charges, other fees and taxes respecting use of the Platform and the use or provision of Coaching Services.
a. Stripe is Payment Processor. HatchPath has designated Stripe, Inc. (“Stripe”) as HatchPath’s third-party payment processor. Stripe’s payment policy can be found at: https://stripe.com/legal.
b. Account with Stripe. All Coaches and Clients must first create an account with Stripe before any Sessions can be booked.
c. Stripe Terms. To access and use Stripe’s payment services you will be subject to section 31 and the terms of Stripe’s site. If there is a conflict between these Terms and the terms of Stripe’s site, the terms of Stripe’s site will govern in respect of the actual making of payments (but not in respect of the requirement to make a payment or calculating the amount of any payment).
d. Timing of Payments. At the time a Client books a Session or Sessions, the Client must pay the full amount owing for all Sessions being booked. As an example, if a Client wishes to book five Sessions and each Session costs $100 (inclusive of all taxes), then the Client must pay $500 to book the five Sessions. The amount paid by the Client will be held by Stripe in escrow. Then, after the completion of each Session, Stripe will pay the Coach the amount attributable to each Session, less the amount of Stripe’s fees (including any applicable taxes) (“Stripe’s Service Fee”) and the amount of HatchPath’s Service Fee. Using the example above, Stripe would pay the Coach $100 after each Session, less the amount of Stripe’s Service Fee and the amount of HatchPath’s Service Fee.
e. Entitlement to Payment. If a Client or a Coach does not attend a Session in whole or in substantial part (except due to the fault of the Platform), the party which did not attend is deemed to have cancelled the Session and the Refund Policy will apply to the payment of amounts. If the Client and the Coach attend the Session together and the Platform does not cause the Client and the Coach to miss a substantial part of the Session, then the Session is deemed complete for the purposes of section 29(d).
28. Rules. You must follow all the rules set out in this section 30. You many not help or assist or induce any other individual or entity, including a partnership, to break or circumvent any of these rules.

34. Ending your Contract. You may terminate your contract with HatchPath at any time by deleting your Account, although all of these Terms will continue to apply after the termination of your contract to all actions and failures to act that occurred before your deletion of your Account.
35. ARBITRATION. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION 37 CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
a. Agreement to Arbitrate. To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law and regulation, under this section 37 (the “Arbitration Agreement”), you agree that any and all claims or other disputes that have arisen or may arise between you and HatchPath, whether arising in respect of these Terms, including any alleged breach of any of these Terms, the Site, Platform, any advertising, and/or any aspect of the relationship or transactions between HatchPath and you, will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court. In addition, the Arbitration Agreement applies to all claims or other disputes between you and HatchPath arising in respect of:
any aspect of the relationship between you and HatchPath, including any claim or other dispute based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory;
any claim or other dispute that arose before the date that the Arbitration Agreement came into force, including in respect of any advertising; and
any claim or other dispute that may arise after the termination of the Terms respecting the Site, the Platform, your Page, your Account or Coaching Services.The arbitration will be carried out in accordance with this Arbitration Agreement, except that you or HatchPath may assert an individual claim in small claims court, if the claim so qualifies under applicable law or regulation. In addition, despite any term in the Arbitration Agreement or section 45, without posting a bond or other security, either party may bring a suit, action or proceeding solely respecting Intellectual Property Rights (including in the United States Patent and Trademark Office) or respecting specific performance or injunctive relief without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute resolution process described in section 37(d). You and HatchPath agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Lee County, Florida in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
b. Waiver of Trial by Jury. You and HatchPath each waive the right to a trial by jury. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
c. Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. You and HatchPath each agree that neither party may bring any claim against the other as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding and you and HatchPath each waive your and its right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. Unless both you and HatchPath agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one party’s claim and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award relief, including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief, only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party’s individual claim. You may nevertheless pursue a claim for, and the arbitrator may award, public injunctive relief under applicable law or regulation to the extent required for the enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement.
d. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution (Claim by You). If a dispute or any other controversy of any kind arises, HatchPath wants to understand and address your concerns quickly, amicably, and to your satisfaction. Most Member’s concerns can be resolved by calling HatchPath’s Help Center. If such efforts prove unsuccessful and you intend to seek arbitration, you must first send a written notice to HatchPath at arbitration@hatchpath.io. You must include in this notice:
- a description of the nature and basis of the claim or other dispute, and
- the specific relief sought.If HatchPath and you do not resolve the claim or other dispute within 60 calendar days after HatchPath receives your notice, you or HatchPath may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by HatchPath or you will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or HatchPath is entitled.
e. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution (Claim by HatchPath). If a dispute or any other controversy of any kind arises and HatchPath is considering instituting arbitration to resolve the dispute or other controversy (and such dispute or other controversy is not subject to section 37(d)), HatchPath must first send a written notice to you by email. HatchPath must include in this notice:
- a description of the nature and basis of the claim or other dispute, and
- the specific relief sought.If HatchPath and you do not resolve the claim or other dispute within 60 calendar days after HatchPath sends the notice to you, you or HatchPath may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by HatchPath or you will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or HatchPath is entitled.
f. Arbitration Procedures. Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s rules and procedures, including the American Arbitration Association’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the American Arbitration Association, please visit its website at: http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the American Arbitration Association’s consumer arbitration page at, https://adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer_Rules_Web_2.pdf. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow these Terms as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under the Terms and applicable law and regulation. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons. Unless HatchPath and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in Lee County, Florida. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination will be made by the American Arbitration Association. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, HatchPath agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
g. Costs of Arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules and HatchPath and you will pay all such filing, administration and arbitrator fees for which each party is responsible under the AAA Rules.
h. Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
i. Severability. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term of this Arbitration Agreement (other than section 37(c)) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties will replace such term with a term that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term, and this Arbitration Agreement will be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of term of section 37(c) is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement will be void, unless such void term is determined to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. In such case, the remainder of section 37(c) will continue to apply.
j. Future Changes. Despite any term in these Terms to the contrary, if HatchPath makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement while you are a Member you may reject any such change by emailing HatchPath written notice at arbitration@hatchpath.io within 30 calendar days of the change. By rejecting any such future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between HatchPath and you in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or, if applicable, as of the date you accepted any subsequent changes to the Arbitration Agreement).

If any term in these Terms is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction for any reason, the illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability of that term will not affect:
a. the legality, validity, or enforceability of the remaining terms of these Terms; or
b. the legality, validity, or enforceability of that term in any other jurisdiction. These Terms, including HatchPath’s policies referred to in these Terms and any supplemental terms and documents that may be posted on the Site from time to time that are expressly incorporated into these Terms by reference, constitute the entire agreement between HatchPath and you with respect to the use of the Site and/or the Platform and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous terms, agreements, discussions, undertakings, representations, warranties, conditions, guarantees, and understandings, whether written or verbal, express or implied. YOU CONFIRM THAT YOU HAVE NOT RELIED UPON ANY UNDERTAKINGS, REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS, GUARANTEES OR UNDERSTANDINGS BY HATCHPATH, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SET OUT IN THESE TERMS. These Terms enure to the benefit of and bind HatchPath and you and, to the extent applicable, each of HatchPath’s and your heirs, executors, administrators, personal and legal representatives, successors, and assigns. Without HatchPath’s prior written consent, you may not transfer HatchPath’s contract with you, including any of your rights or obligations, to any other party, whether by assignment, operation of law, or otherwise. HatchPath may freely transfer its contract with you, including all HatchPath’s rights and obligations, to any other party, without restriction. These Terms will not be construed against HatchPath by virtue of having drafted these Terms. These Terms are personal to you and, except as expressly set out in these Terms, no third party may benefit under these Terms, including by making any claim, against HatchPath. No waiver of any term of these Terms is binding on HatchPath unless HatchPath expressly waives such term in writing and signs the waiver. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy by HatchPath, under these Terms will be deemed to be a waiver by HatchPath of that right or remedy. No waiver of any breach of any term of these Terms by HatchPath will be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of that term by HatchPath.
