1. Agreement to Terms
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) form a legally binding agreement between you and WrestlingHub, Inc., a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business in Long Branch, New Jersey (“WrestlingHub,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They govern your access to and use of the WrestlingHub website at wresthub.com and wresthubinfo.com, the WrestlingHub mobile applications, and all related features, content, subscriptions, booking tools and services (together, the “Platform”).
By creating an account, submitting a form, purchasing a subscription, making or accepting a booking, or otherwise accessing or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated here by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.
These Terms apply to all users, including families, parents, legal guardians, athletes, coaches, trainers, clubs, camp organizers and other participants.
2. Who We Are and What We Are Not
WrestlingHub operates a two-sided technology marketplace. Our role is to help wrestling families discover, compare, contact and book independent coaches, clubs, camps and clinics, and to help those independent providers present their services and, where enabled, accept payment.
WrestlingHub is not, and does not act as:
- an employer, joint employer, staffing agency, agent or partner of any coach, trainer, club, camp or organizer;
- a provider of athletic instruction, coaching, training, supervision, chaperoning, transportation, lodging, medical care, athletic training or first aid;
- an operator, host, sponsor or organizer of any practice, private lesson, group class, clinic, camp, tournament or event listed on the Platform;
- a party to any agreement between a family and a coach, club or camp organizer;
- a licensed background screening company, credentialing body, insurer, escrow agent, or provider of legal, tax, medical or financial advice.
All coaches, trainers, clubs and camp organizers listed on the Platform are independent third parties. They set their own rates, availability, curriculum, venues, policies, staffing and safety practices. They alone are responsible for the services they provide, for their own conduct and the conduct of their personnel, for the condition and supervision of their facilities, for maintaining any required licenses, certifications, permits and insurance, and for compliance with all applicable law.
Any contract for instruction, training, camp attendance or related services is formed directly between you and that independent provider. WrestlingHub is not a party to it, does not control it, and does not guarantee its performance.
3. Eligibility, Minors and Parental Consent
Account holders must be at least 18 years of age. The Platform is not directed to children and we do not knowingly permit anyone under 13 to create an account or provide personal information to us.
Wrestling is a youth sport, and we expect most athletes on the Platform to be minors. Accordingly:
- A parent or legal guardian must create and control the account, add each minor athlete as a profile under that account, and make all bookings, payments and communications on the minor's behalf.
- By adding a minor athlete profile, you represent and warrant that you are that minor's parent or legal guardian and that you have full legal authority to agree to these Terms, to our Privacy Policy, and to the Activity Waiver and Assumption of Risk on the minor's behalf and on your own behalf.
- You are responsible for supervising your minor's use of the Platform and for all activity under your account.
- Minors must not be permitted to use in-app messaging or booking functions unsupervised.
If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will delete it. See our Children's Privacy section.
4. Accounts and Security
You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information and to keep it updated. You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not authorized by you. Notify us immediately at contact@wresthub.com of any unauthorized use.
Account deletion. You may delete your account at any time from within the app (Profile → Account → Delete Account) or by emailing contact@wresthub.com. Deletion removes your profile and personal information as described in our Privacy Policy, subject to records we are required or permitted to retain, including transaction and tax records.
5. What the Platform Costs
The Platform is currently free to use. There is no paid tier, no subscription and no platform fee. Every feature described in these Terms is available to every account at no charge, including search, coach and club profiles, in-app messaging, and sending booking requests.
We do not currently collect, hold, process or transmit payment for any session, class, camp or membership. Payment for a provider's services is arranged and made directly between you and that provider. See Section 8.
Changes we may make in future. We may introduce paid subscription tiers, a platform service fee on transactions we process, a rewards or points program, and merchandise. If we do, we will publish the pricing and the applicable terms before they take effect, and any auto-renewing subscription will be sold through the Apple App Store or Google Play with the disclosures those stores require. Features described anywhere as forthcoming, planned, coming soon or in development are not part of what you have today, and we may add, modify, delay, suspend or discontinue any feature at any time.
6. Purchases Through the App Stores
We do not currently sell any in-app purchase or subscription. If we introduce one, it will be billed by Apple or Google under their terms, not by us, and we will publish the price, the billing period, the renewal terms and how to cancel before it goes on sale.
Because those stores bill and refund such purchases under their own policies, we cannot issue refunds for purchases we did not process. Apple refunds are requested at reportaproblem.apple.com and Google Play refunds through Google Play support.
7. Apple App Store and Google Play Terms
The following applies when you obtain our application through the Apple App Store. You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and WrestlingHub only, not with Apple Inc. (“Apple”), and that Apple is not responsible for the application or its content. Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support for the application. In the event the application fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the application. Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the application, including product liability, legal or regulatory compliance, or consumer protection claims. Apple is not responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement or discharge of any third-party intellectual property infringement claim. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as “terrorist-supporting,” and that you are not on any U.S. Government restricted-party list. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and have the right to enforce them against you. Equivalent provisions apply to Google LLC in respect of distribution through Google Play.
8. Bookings, and How Payment Works
Money does not pass through WrestlingHub. We help you find a provider and reach them. You pay that provider directly. We are not a party to that payment, we never receive or hold your funds, and we cannot refund, reverse, guarantee or recover money we never collected.
What a booking is. Depending on how a provider has chosen to use the Platform, a booking request may either be accepted or declined by that provider in the app, in which case both of you will see the agreed session, or it may simply open a conversation in which you and the provider settle the details yourselves. Either way:
- A booking request is only a request until the provider accepts it. We do not guarantee that any provider will respond, accept, attend, or perform as described.
- The provider sets everything commercial. Price, session length, location, what is included, and their own cancellation and refund policy are set by the provider, not by us.
- You pay the provider directly, by whatever method the two of you agree, such as in person at the session. We do not set, collect, escrow, split, guarantee or process that payment, and we charge you nothing for the introduction.
- We are not an escrow agent, bank, payment processor or money transmitter, and we do not act as agent for either you or the provider in respect of payment.
Never send payment card numbers, bank details or other financial account information through in-app messaging. Messages are not a secure payment channel. Arrange payment by a method you and the provider both trust, and treat any request to pay by unusual means as a warning sign.
If we later introduce payment processing through the Platform, we will publish updated terms covering fees, cancellations, refunds and disputes before that functionality is switched on for you.
9. Platform Service Fees
We currently charge no platform service fee. Using the Platform to search, message a provider or send a booking request costs you nothing, and nothing is added to or deducted from what you pay a provider.
If we introduce a platform service fee in future, it will be disclosed before you complete a payment, together with any payment processing charge and applicable taxes, and any change to fee levels will apply only to transactions made after the change.
10. Cancellations and Refunds
Cancellation and refund policies are set by the independent provider and are shown on the listing or communicated by that provider. Because the service is delivered by the provider, and because payment is made directly to the provider and never to us, requests to cancel, reschedule or refund must be directed to that provider. We may, but are not required to, help facilitate a resolution, and we may suspend or remove a provider who repeatedly fails to honour their own stated policy.
We encourage you to confirm a provider's cancellation policy in writing, through in-app messaging, before you pay them anything.
11. Coaches, Clubs and Camp Organizers
This section applies additionally if you list services, accept bookings, or operate a club or camp through the Platform. You represent, warrant and agree, on a continuing basis, that:
- You act as an independent contractor and independent business. Nothing in these Terms creates an employment, agency, partnership, joint venture or franchise relationship with WrestlingHub. You control the manner, method, location and means of your services.
- All information you submit, including credentials, competitive record, affiliations, certifications and rates, is accurate, current and truthful, and you will promptly correct any inaccuracy.
- You hold and will maintain all licenses, certifications, registrations and permits required to provide your services in each jurisdiction where you operate.
- You maintain, at your own expense, commercial general liability insurance and any other insurance appropriate to your activities and required by law or by the venues you use, in amounts adequate to cover the risks of your services. You will provide proof on request.
- You comply with all applicable youth-athlete safety and abuse-prevention requirements, which may include the federal Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse and Safe Sport Authorization Act, U.S. Center for SafeSport policies, state mandatory-reporting laws, concussion-protocol laws, and any background screening, training or supervision requirements imposed by law or by any sanctioning body, facility or organization with which you are affiliated.
- You have never been convicted of, pled to, or been adjudicated responsible for any offense involving violence, abuse, sexual misconduct, or harm to a minor, and you are not listed on any sex offender registry or on any sanctioning body's ineligible, suspended or banned list. You will notify us immediately at contact@wresthub.com if any of this changes.
- You are solely responsible for the safety, supervision and wellbeing of athletes during your sessions, for appropriate athlete-to-coach ratios, for maintaining safe facilities and equipment, for emergency and injury response, and for obtaining any waivers, medical authorizations, emergency contacts and consents you require from participants.
- You are solely responsible for your own taxes. We do not withhold taxes. If we introduce payment processing, the processor may be required to issue you an IRS Form 1099-K or equivalent. You are responsible for determining and remitting any sales, use or other transaction taxes applicable to your services, except where we are required by law to collect and remit as a marketplace facilitator.
- You grant us the licenses described in Section 18 so we may display and promote your listing.
We may review, decline, edit the display of, suspend or remove any listing or account at our sole discretion, with or without notice, and we are not obligated to provide reasons.
12. Assumption of Risk and Release
By using the Platform to discover, contact, book or attend any lesson, practice, class, clinic, camp, tournament or other activity, you knowingly and voluntarily acknowledge, understand and assume all risks of participation, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, and whether arising from the activity itself, the condition of any facility or equipment, the acts or omissions of any coach, club, organizer, participant or other person, or otherwise. If you are a parent or legal guardian, you assume these risks on your own behalf and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, on behalf of the minor athlete.
This release does not apply to claims that cannot be released as a matter of law, and does not purport to release gross negligence, recklessness, or willful, wanton or intentional misconduct where applicable law prohibits such a release. Nothing in this Section releases any coach, club, camp operator, facility or other third party; your rights against those parties are unaffected. Some jurisdictions, including New Jersey, restrict the enforceability of pre-injury releases signed by a parent on behalf of a minor. Where that is the case, this Section applies to the maximum extent permitted, and the remaining provisions, including the assumption of risk, indemnification and limitation of liability, remain in full force.
See also our separate Activity Waiver and Assumption of Risk.
13. Verification, Screening and Its Limits
We use the word “verified” to describe listings that have passed our internal review process. That process may include reviewing publicly available competitive records, confirming stated affiliations, checking references, and reviewing information provided by the coach.
What “verified” does not mean. It is not a criminal background check unless expressly stated for that listing. It is not a guarantee, endorsement, recommendation, certification or warranty of any coach's identity, character, fitness, competence, safety practices, credentials, insurance, licensure or suitability to work with minors or with any particular athlete. It is not a substitute for your own diligence. Information may be incomplete, outdated or inaccurate, and background screening cannot identify all past or predict any future conduct.
You are solely responsible for evaluating any coach, club or camp before engaging them. We strongly encourage you to interview coaches, request and verify credentials and insurance, confirm background screening and safe-sport training, ask about supervision and emergency procedures, observe sessions, keep minors within sight where practical, avoid unsupervised one-on-one situations, and use your own judgment. Report any safety concern to us immediately at contact@wresthub.com and, where a child may be at risk, to local law enforcement and to the U.S. Center for SafeSport.
14. Disclaimer of Warranties
Without limiting the foregoing, we do not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free or free of harmful components; that any content, rate, credential, review or availability shown is accurate, complete or current; that any coach, club or camp will meet your expectations, honor a booking, or be safe, qualified or suitable; or that any result will be achieved from use of the Platform. No advice or information obtained from us creates any warranty not expressly stated here.
15. Limitation of Liability
These limitations apply even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose, and form an essential basis of the bargain between us; the Platform would not be offered on these economic terms without them. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above may not apply to you; in those jurisdictions our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
16. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless WrestlingHub, Inc. and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, investors, successors and assigns from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, investigations, damages, losses, liabilities, judgments, settlements, penalties, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of defense, arising out of or relating to: (a) your access to or use of the Platform; (b) any content or information you submit; (c) your breach of these Terms or of any representation or warranty you make; (d) your violation of any law or of the rights of any third party; (e) any service you provide or receive, or any activity you or a minor in your care participates in, that was discovered, arranged, booked or paid for through the Platform; and (f) any dispute between you and any coach, club, camp organizer, facility, participant or other user.
We reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification, and you agree to cooperate with our defense. You will not settle any matter in a way that imposes any obligation or admission on us without our prior written consent.
17. Acceptable Use
You agree not to, and not to permit anyone else to:
- submit false, misleading, fraudulent or impersonating information, or misrepresent credentials, affiliations or identity;
- use the Platform for any unlawful, harassing, abusive, threatening, defamatory, discriminatory or exploitative purpose, or in any manner that endangers a minor;
- where a platform service fee applies to a booking that originated on the Platform, solicit or arrange to move that transaction off-Platform in order to avoid the fee. No platform service fee applies at present, so paying a provider directly is expected and permitted;
- contact any user for any purpose other than the legitimate arrangement of wrestling instruction or related services;
- scrape, crawl, harvest, index, frame, mirror or systematically copy any part of the Platform, or use any automated means to access it, without our prior written permission;
- reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or attempt to derive source code from the Platform;
- circumvent, disable or interfere with security, authentication, rate-limiting or access-control features;
- upload malware, or take any action that imposes an unreasonable load on our infrastructure;
- post fake, incentivized or retaliatory reviews, or manipulate ratings;
- use the Platform to develop a competing product or service, or to train any machine learning model.
18. User Content and License
You retain ownership of the content you submit, including profile text, photographs, videos, credentials, listings, messages and reviews (“User Content”). You grant WrestlingHub a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, adapt, publish, publicly display, distribute and promote your User Content on and in connection with the Platform and our marketing, including on social media, for as long as you maintain a listing and for a reasonable period afterward.
You represent and warrant that you own or have all necessary rights to your User Content, that it does not infringe or violate the rights of any third party, and that you have obtained all necessary consents and releases from any identifiable individual appearing in it, including a parent or guardian's written consent for any minor. Do not upload images or video of minors without that consent.
We may, but are not obligated to, monitor, review, screen, edit or remove User Content. We may remove any User Content at our sole discretion. Reviews and ratings represent the opinions of the users who post them, not WrestlingHub.
Copyright complaints. If you believe content on the Platform infringes your copyright, send a notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to contact@wresthub.com with the subject line “DMCA Notice,” including the required statutory elements.
19. Intellectual Property
The Platform and all of its content, features, functionality, software, design, text, graphics, logos and the WrestlingHub name and marks are owned by WrestlingHub, Inc. or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Platform for your own personal or internal business use. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. You may not use our name or marks without our prior written consent.
20. Suspension and Termination
We may suspend, restrict, deactivate or terminate your account or access to the Platform at any time, with or without notice, and with or without cause, including where we believe you have violated these Terms, created risk or legal exposure for us or for any user, or where a safety concern has been raised. You may stop using the Platform and delete your account at any time.
On termination, your right to use the Platform ends immediately. Sections 2, 8 through 12 and 14 through 24, and any other provision that by its nature should survive, will survive termination.
21. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
(a) Informal resolution first. Before commencing any arbitration or legal proceeding, you agree to first send a written notice describing the dispute and the relief sought to contact@wresthub.com, and to negotiate in good faith for sixty (60) days. This is a condition precedent to initiating arbitration.
(b) Binding individual arbitration. If the dispute is not resolved informally, you and WrestlingHub agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, before a single arbitrator, seated in Monmouth County, New Jersey, or conducted by video or telephone at your election, with the Federal Arbitration Act governing interpretation and enforcement of this provision.
(c) Class action waiver. You and WrestlingHub agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, coordinated, representative or private attorney general proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative proceeding. If this class action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or remedy, that claim or remedy shall be severed and heard in court, and the remainder arbitrated.
(d) Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, and either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in court to protect intellectual property or prevent unauthorized access to the Platform. Nothing here prevents you from reporting concerns to a government authority.
(e) Right to opt out. You may reject this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to contact@wresthub.com with the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out,” including your name and the email on your account, within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Opting out does not affect any other provision.
(f) Time limit. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim must be brought within one (1) year after the claim arose, or it is permanently barred.
22. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey and, where applicable, the federal laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Subject to Section 21, you and WrestlingHub consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Monmouth County, New Jersey. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
23. Changes to These Terms
We may modify these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will provide reasonable notice, such as by posting the updated Terms with a new Effective Date, by in-app notice, or by email to the address on your account. Changes to subscription pricing will not take effect for your current paid period and will apply only from your next renewal, and we will give notice as required by the app store through which you purchased. Your continued use of the Platform after changes take effect constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, stop using the Platform and cancel your subscription.
24. General Provisions and Contact
Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the Activity Waiver, are the entire agreement between you and WrestlingHub regarding the Platform and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
Severability. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign them freely, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets.
Force majeure. We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes beyond our reasonable control.
Relationship. Nothing in these Terms creates any employment, agency, partnership, joint venture or fiduciary relationship between you and WrestlingHub.
Notices and contact. Legal notices to us must be sent to contact@wresthub.com and to WrestlingHub, Inc., 40 Laird Street, Unit 325, Long Branch, NJ 07740. We may give notice to you by email to the address on your account or by in-app notice.
WrestlingHub, Inc. is a Delaware corporation operating from New Jersey. WrestlingHub is not a law firm, is not an insurer, and does not provide legal, tax, medical or financial advice. These Terms govern use of the WrestlingHub website and mobile applications.
