6.2 The Instructor’s dashboard may display Instructor-specific commercial terms, including applicable commission rates, payout terms, program category, and other operational requirements. By listing or offering Services through the Platform after those terms are displayed, the Instructor acknowledges and agrees to those dashboard terms.

6.3 Instructors must provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date listings, including details of content, duration, location, pricing, requirements, capacity, accessibility considerations, equipment, and materials. Prices submitted by Instructors must be all-inclusive and include the applicable payment processing cost and any other mandatory charges required to be included in the advertised price, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Company.

6.4 The Company may review, reject, edit, suspend, or remove listings at its discretion, including to improve clarity, consistency, formatting, accessibility, searchability, SEO, or platform quality, provided that the Company does not materially misrepresent the Service.

6.5 Instructors are responsible for ensuring that listings do not misrepresent credentials, certifications, outcomes, or the nature of the Service.

7.1 Instructors are responsible for:

7.4 Instructors are independent contractors and not employees, agents, representatives, partners, or joint venturers of the Company. Nothing in these Terms creates an employment relationship, partnership, agency, or joint venture. Instructors:

The Instructor must ensure that such individuals comply with these Terms and will be responsible for their acts and omissions.

8.1 Students must review Service details before booking and comply with Instructor policies, venue rules, and reasonable instructions related to the Service.

8.2 Students must behave respectfully toward Instructors, other participants, venues, space hosts, and Company staff. Disruptive, unsafe, discriminatory, threatening, abusive, harassing, or inappropriate behavior is not permitted.

8.3 Students must arrive in a condition suitable for a shared learning environment, including appropriate attire and personal hygiene, and must not attend while intoxicated or under the influence of substances that create a safety risk or disrupt the class experience.

8.4 Instructors or Company staff may refuse participation or remove a Student from a Service for unsafe, inappropriate, or disruptive behavior. Refunds may not be provided in such cases, except where required by law.

8.5 Serious or repeated violations of these Terms may result in the Company terminating a Student’s account and banning the Student from the Platform.

9.1 A contract for Services is formed directly between the Student and the Instructor when:

(a) the Student completes checkout and payment; and

(b) the Platform confirms the booking.

9.2 The Company facilitates payment but, except for Hosted Events, is not a party to the contract between Student and Instructor. The Company acts as a marketplace operator and payment facilitator.

10.1 Prices are set or approved by Instructors and must be all-inclusive. The price displayed on the Platform includes the applicable payment processing cost and any other mandatory charges required to be included in the advertised price. Except for optional purchases, discounts, credits, taxes, or other adjustments that may lawfully be separately stated, the displayed class price is the price the Student will pay for the Service.

10.2 Payments must be made in advance and exclusively through payment options provided through the Platform. The Company does not accept cash, checks, or direct off-platform payment for Services booked through the Platform.

10.3 All payments are processed through third-party payment processors, such as Stripe. The Company does not store full credit card numbers or card security codes. Payment processing costs are included in the displayed class price and are not shown as a separate fee at checkout.

The Company’s current standard payment processing rate is 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction, although the actual processing cost may vary depending on the transaction or payment method.

10.4 Promotions, Coupons, and Discounts. The Company may offer promotional discounts, coupons, credits, or special offers from time to time, including promotions for new users or other eligible Students. Platform-wide or general DoBeDoUs coupons will apply only to Services offered by Instructors who have agreed to participate in the applicable promotion.

Instructors may also request a promotional discount or coupon for their own Services. Any Instructor-initiated promotion must be approved, created, and administered by the Company. Instructors may not independently create or apply coupons or promotional discounts through the Platform.

10.5 When a coupon or promotional discount applies, the discount will first be deducted from the all-inclusive class price. The applicable payment processing cost will then be deducted from the discounted transaction amount, and the remaining amount will be divided between the Instructor and the Company according to the agreed commission percentages.

By agreeing to participate in a Platform-wide promotion or requesting an Instructor-specific promotion, the Instructor acknowledges that the promotional discount will reduce the amount used to calculate both the Instructor’s and the Company’s respective shares.

10.6 Promotions may be subject to eligibility requirements, expiration dates, redemption limits, participating Services or Instructors, minimum purchase requirements, or other conditions established or approved by the Company.

Unless otherwise stated, promotions may not be combined or stacked. Promotional discounts, coupons, and credits have no cash value. The Company may approve, reject, modify, suspend, or discontinue a promotion in accordance with its applicable terms.

11.1 Unless a class-specific policy under Section 11.6 provides otherwise, Students may cancel at least seven (7) days before the scheduled Service and receive a refund less a cancellation fee equal to the payment processing cost associated with the booking.

The payment processing cost is included in the class price and is not charged separately at checkout. The current standard payment processing rate is described in Section 10.3.

11.2 Unless a class-specific policy under Section 11.6 provides otherwise, cancellations and refunds are not permitted within seven (7) days of the Service date, except where required by law, where the Instructor cancels, or where the Company determines otherwise in its discretion.

Rescheduling is not available under the general cancellation policy unless offered by the Company or permitted under an applicable class-specific policy.

11.3 If an Instructor cancels a Service with confirmed bookings for reasons other than those addressed in Section 12, Students will receive a full refund of the amount paid to the original payment method or may accept another remedy offered by the Company.

The Company may address payment processing costs resulting from repeated Instructor-initiated cancellations as provided in Sections 12.5 and 14.5.

11.4 For a Student-initiated cancellation that qualifies for a refund under the general cancellation policy, the refund will be issued to the original payment method less a cancellation fee equal to the non-refundable payment processing cost associated with the booking, except where prohibited by law.

This cancellation fee represents the payment processing cost already included in the class price and is not an additional fee charged at checkout. Refunds under a class-specific policy will follow the terms disclosed for that Service.

11.5 Cancellations may only be made through the Platform or through a process approved by the Company. Refunds are typically processed within 5-10 business days, but actual receipt of funds may depend on the payment processor and the Student’s financial institution.

11.6 Certain Services may have class-specific cancellation, refund, rescheduling, or credit terms agreed upon by the Company and the Instructor. Any such terms will be clearly disclosed in the applicable class description before booking and will control over this general policy to the extent the terms differ. Students should review the full class description before completing a booking.

12.1 Neither the Company nor Instructors shall be liable for failure to perform obligations due to circumstances beyond reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, severe weather, environmental emergencies, pandemics, epidemics, public health emergencies, government orders or restrictions, labor disputes, civil unrest, utility failures, transportation disruptions, venue closures, or other events beyond reasonable control.

12.2 In the event of force majeure, the Instructor or Company may cancel or reschedule the Service. Students will be offered the option to:

(a) reschedule to a future date at no additional cost if available; or

(b) receive a refund to the original payment method, excluding the non-refundable payment processing cost associated with the original transaction, except where required by applicable law.

12.3 Instructors may set a minimum number of Students required for each Service if approved by the Company and stated in the Service listing. If the Service does not meet the stated minimum enrollment, the Instructor may choose to proceed with fewer Students or cancel the Service.

If the Service is canceled for failure to meet minimum enrollment, Students will receive a refund to the original payment method, excluding the non-refundable payment processing cost associated with the original transaction, except where required by applicable law.

12.4 Instructor Cancellations. Instructors must promptly notify the Company if they need to cancel or reschedule a Service. If a Service has confirmed bookings, the Instructor may not independently cancel the Service or issue refunds and must follow the Company’s cancellation approval, Student notification, and refund process.

12.5 Repeated Instructor Cancellations. The Company may establish additional requirements for Instructors who repeatedly cancel Services with confirmed bookings or fail to follow the cancellation process in Section 12.4.

Such measures may include additional review of future listings, temporary restrictions or suspension of listings, or reimbursement to the Company for actual third-party payment processing costs incurred as a result of affected Student refunds.

Any reimbursement requirement or other financial consequence for repeated cancellations will be governed by an applicable Instructor policy or written terms communicated by the Company and will apply prospectively in accordance with those terms and applicable law.

13.1 The Company charges a service commission on transactions completed through the Platform.

13.2 Commission Rates. Commission rates may vary by Instructor, Service type, program, promotional arrangement, booking source, or other business terms agreed with the Company. The applicable commission rate and payout terms will be displayed in the Instructor’s dashboard on the Platform or provided in a written fee schedule or written communication from the Company.

13.3 Agreement to Rates. By building or approving an Instructor profile, listing Services, offering Services, or continuing to accept bookings through the Platform after applicable rates are displayed or provided, the Instructor acknowledges and agrees to the applicable commission rate and payout terms.

13.4 Controlling Rate. If there is any conflict or discrepancy between these Terms, any other general Platform materials, and the commission rate or fee schedule displayed in the Instructor’s dashboard, the commission rate or fee schedule displayed in the Instructor’s dashboard will control, unless the Company and Instructor have entered into a separate written agreement that expressly states otherwise or unless prohibited by applicable law.

13.5 Updates. The Company may update commission rates or payout terms from time to time upon reasonable notice to the Instructor. Updated rates will apply only to bookings made after the effective date of the update, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

14.1 The Company will collect payments from Students for Services purchased through the Platform on behalf of the Instructor.

14.2 From each transaction processed through the Platform, the applicable payment processing cost will be deducted from the all-inclusive class price before the remaining amount is divided according to the agreed Company and Instructor commission percentages.

If an eligible coupon or promotional discount is used, the discount will first be deducted from the all-inclusive class price. The applicable payment processing cost will then be deducted from the discounted transaction amount, and the remaining amount will be divided according to the agreed commission percentages, as described in Section 10.

Platform-wide or general DoBeDoUs coupons will apply only to Services offered by Instructors who have agreed to participate in the applicable promotion.

14.3 The remaining balance will be paid to the Instructor within a reasonable period after the Service is completed, typically within 7-10 business days after the scheduled conclusion of the Service, or for multi-session Services, after the final session, subject to:

(a) the Company’s receipt of funds from its payment processor;

(b) the expiration or resolution of applicable cancellation periods, refund requests, disputes, chargebacks, fraud investigations, or other payment issues; and

(c) the Instructor maintaining a valid payout method and required tax information.

14.4 Once the Company initiates a payout, actual receipt of funds may depend on the payment processor and the Instructor’s bank. The Company is not responsible for delays caused by third-party payment processors, banks, incorrect payout information, or payment compliance review.

14.5 The Company may delay, withhold, reduce, offset, or adjust payouts as reasonably necessary to account for refunds, disputes, chargebacks, payment reversals, unpaid balances, processing delays, suspected fraud, violations of these Terms, or amounts properly owed by an Instructor under an applicable cancellation policy, Instructor policy, or other written commercial terms.

14.6 If a refund, chargeback, payment dispute, or payment reversal occurs after an Instructor has been paid, the Company may deduct the applicable amount from future payouts or require the Instructor to repay the amount.

14.7 The Company will provide Instructors with IRS Form 1099 as required by law for earnings above applicable thresholds. Instructors are solely responsible for reporting income and paying all applicable taxes.

15.1 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Instructors are responsible for furnishing all materials, equipment, tools, and supplies necessary to conduct each Service and for bearing all ordinary expenses of performing the Service.

15.2 Instructors should incorporate the cost of materials, supplies, and other ordinary expenses into the class price or clearly disclose any required student-provided materials in the listing before a Student books.

15.3 If an Instructor does not provide materials, the Instructor must provide Students with a clear list of required items. Students are responsible for purchasing such items, and the Company will not reimburse those costs.

15.4 The Company does not ordinarily reimburse Instructor expenses. Any reimbursement must be approved in writing by the Company in advance and supported by receipts.

18.2 Users retain ownership of their original User Content, including original teaching materials and class content created independently of the Company, subject to the licenses granted in these Terms.

18.3 By submitting User Content, you grant the Company a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable license to use, reproduce, distribute, modify, adapt, display, perform, promote, translate, and create derivative works from such content for the purpose of operating, improving, promoting, and marketing the Platform and Services.

18.4 For Instructor Content, this license includes the right to edit and improve content for clarity, consistency, formatting, accessibility, translation, SEO, searchability, image cropping, resizing, and display across devices and channels, provided that the Company does not materially misrepresent the substantive meaning of the Instructor Content.

18.6 Social Media Attribution and Marketplace Presentation.

(a) Instructor Content and classes may be presented, edited, captioned, grouped, and promoted as part of the DoBeDoUs brand and curated marketplace rather than as marketing published on behalf of a particular Instructor, studio, business, or organization.

(b) Unless the Company agrees otherwise in writing, the Company is not required to identify, tag, link to, or otherwise credit an Instructor’s business, studio, organization, social media account, website, or other external channel in routine social media, editorial, promotional, or marketing communications.

(c) When an individual teacher is prominently featured through their name, face, likeness, voice, demonstration, quotation, biography, or personal story, the Company may identify or credit that teacher by name or social media handle where appropriate. Such credit is discretionary and does not require the Company to identify or tag any business or organization with which the teacher is associated.

(d) The Company may determine the placement, wording, format, visibility, and duration of any attribution or credit. The Company will not intentionally state or imply that an Instructor, teacher, or other individual endorses the Company or any unrelated product or service beyond that person’s actual participation, authorization, or statements.

18.9 Users may opt out of future marketing use of their User Content, excluding uses reasonably necessary to operate the Platform and Services, by contacting support@dobedous.com. The Company will make commercially reasonable efforts to discontinue new marketing uses within a reasonable period after receiving the request. An opt-out request does not require the Company to recall or remove materials that were already printed, distributed, published, scheduled, incorporated into completed materials, or committed to an active advertising campaign before the request was processed, except where continued use would violate applicable law. The Company may consider reasonable requests to remove specific published content containing a person’s name, image, likeness, or voice.

18.10 For Users under 18, consent from a parent or legal guardian is required for any marketing use of User Content containing the minor’s name, image, likeness, voice, or other personal information.

19.1 The Company, Instructors, or Students may take photographs or videos during Services for personal use, marketing, documentation, or platform purposes.
