Section 05

Coach Terms and Obligations

Independent Contractor Status

Coaches are independent practitioners and are not employees, agents, partners, or representatives of Avolvia. Avolvia provides infrastructure; it does not supervise, direct, or control the professional services Coaches provide to their Clients.

Coach Responsibilities

By accepting Coach status on the Platform, each Coach agrees to:

Program Content

Coaches are solely responsible for all content within their Programs. Avolvia does not pre-screen Program content but reserves the right to remove any content that violates these Terms or applicable law. Coaches grant Avolvia a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, display, and deliver Program content for the purpose of operating the Platform.

Coach Payments

Where Coaches charge Clients for Program access, the financial relationship is solely between the Coach and the Client. Avolvia may facilitate payment processing but is not a party to the financial agreement. Coaches are responsible for all applicable tax obligations arising from payments received through the Platform.

Suspension and Removal

Avolvia reserves the right to suspend or remove a Coach's access at any time for any breach of these Terms, conduct prejudicial to the Platform, or at Avolvia's sole discretion. Suspended Coaches lose access to creation and monitoring tools. Active Client enrolments may be preserved at the Platform Owner's discretion.

Section 06

Client Terms and Obligations

Participation

Clients choose to enrol in Programs and Challenges at their own discretion and risk. By enrolling in a Program, Clients agree to the specific Program rules, commitment requirements, and accountability structures set by the relevant Coach.

Health and Safety Disclaimer

Avolvia and its Coaches do not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Programs may involve physical, mental, or behavioural activities. Clients are solely responsible for assessing their own physical and mental fitness to participate. Clients should consult a qualified medical or mental health professional before beginning any program that involves physical activity, dietary change, or psychological practices. Participation is entirely at your own risk.

Commitment to Honesty

Clients agree to submit Proof Submissions that are genuine, accurate, and not fabricated, staged, or misleading. Submitting false proof is a material breach of these Terms and may result in account suspension and removal of any Certifications earned.

Results Not Guaranteed

Avolvia and Coaches make no guarantee of any specific outcome, result, transformation, financial return, or improvement in performance. Individual outcomes depend entirely on the Client's own effort, commitment, and circumstances.

Section 07
