10. Payment

Member payments

When a member schedules a class or session with a provider through the Site and services, the member must provide requested credit card payment information. Upon booking any session in the site and services the payment for the class or session will be processed. A client may cancel a class or session up to 24 hours prior to the scheduled class or session and receive a full refund. Cancellations within 24 hours of the scheduled class or session, will result in a charge equal to the full amount due for the class or session, and no refunds will be provided (unless made in accordance with the Refunds; Credits; Taxes section below).

Instructor payouts

When a member schedules a class or session with an provider through the Site and services, the money will be withdrawn from the members credit card at that time. Vint charges an administrative fee for all providers for each class or session (the "Administrative Fee"). Vint will remit the amount of payment by the member for a scheduled class or session, less the Administrative Fee to the provider using the account information provided by the provider. Providers will be paid for completed sessions only. Payment to providers are done bi-weekly and all payment is processed after the service has been delivered. For avoidance of doubt, providers will not be paid for cancelled sessions that are cancelled by the instructor and sessions cancelled by a client more than 24 hours prior to the scheduled class or session.

Cancellation by Members

Clients may cancel a scheduled class or session 24 hours prior to the scheduled class or session and obtain a full refund.

Cancellation by Providers

In the event that a provider cancels a scheduled class or session 24 hours or more prior to the scheduled class or session, client(s) signed up for the scheduled class or session shall be entitled to a full refund for the cancelled class or session. If a provider cancels a scheduled class or session within 24 hours before the scheduled class or session, the client(s) signed up for the scheduled class or session shall be entitled to a full refund for the cancelled class or session. Providers have the choice to find a substitute instructor for the class or cancel the class. If the provider finds a substitute instructor the total pay for the session will be transferred to the substituting instructor. If the provider cancel a class or session less than 24h before the class or session starts the provider will not receive any payments for the class or session and a penalty fee will be applied. For current penalty charges please see information in instructor admin under help section.

Refunds; Credits; Taxes

At Vint’s sole discretion, refunds or credits may be granted as a result of specific refund guarantee promotions, or to correct any errors made by Vint. Any refunds made to a client will be deducted from any amounts paid to the provider. Any additional payment terms and details will be provided to providers by Vint. All fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and the client shall be responsible for payment of all taxes, levies, or duties associated with his or her purchases hereunder, excluding United States (federal or state) taxes.

You should always read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of a third-party website before using it.

12. Changes to the Site or Services

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, VINT AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, AND LICENSORS (REFERRED TO COLLECTIVELY AS “AFFILIATES”) DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE SITE AND SERVICES (INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT).

IN PARTICULAR, VINT AND ITS AFFILIATES MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES ABOUT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF CONTENT AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE SITE OR SERVICES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, any recommendations or other content available on or through the Site or Services), OR THE CONTENT OF ANY WEBSITES OR RESOURCES LINKED TO THE SITE OR SERVICES.

VINT AND ITS AFFILIATES DO NOT WARRANT, ENDORSE, GUARANTEE, OR ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY THIRD PARTY PRODUCT OR SERVICES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY SERVICES OFFERED BY INSTRUCTORS, RECOMMENDED, ADVERTISED, OR OFFERED ON OR THROUGH THE SITE OR SERVICES OR ANY LINKED WEBSITE.

YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS (INCLUDING BOTH CLIENTS AND INSTRUCTORS). YOU UNDERSTAND THAT VINT MAY NOT CONDUCT CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS OR SCREENINGS ON OR ANY OTHER SCREENING OF CLIENTS OR INSTRUCTORS. VINT ALSO MAY NOT INQUIRE INTO THE BACKGROUNDS OF ALL OF ALL CLIENTS OR INSTRUCTORS OR ATTEMPT TO VERIFY THE STATEMENTS OF CLIENTS OR INSTRUCTORS. VINT MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO THE CONDUCT OF CLIENTS OR INSTRUCTORS OR THEIR COMPATIBILITY WITH ANY CURRENT OR FUTURE CLIENTS OR INSTRUCTORS. VINT RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CONDUCT ANY CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK OR OTHER SCREENINGS (SUCH AS SEX OFFENDER REGISTER SEARCHES), AT ANY TIME AND USING AVAILABLE PUBLIC RECORDS.

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ANY MATERIAL OR INFORMATION DOWNLOADED OR OTHERWISE OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF THE SITE OR SERVICES IS DONE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND THAT YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE ARISING FROM DOING SO. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM VINT OR THROUGH THE SITE OR SERVICES WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY MADE IN THESE TERMS.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER VINT NOR ITS AFFILIATES WILL BE LIABLE UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF REVENUES, PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES (EVEN IF SUCH PARTIES WERE ADVISED OF, KNEW OF, OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES), ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SITE OR SERVICES OR THESE TERMS.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some of the above limitations and disclaimers may not apply to you. To the extent Vint may not, as a matter of applicable law, disclaim any implied warranty or limit its liabilities, the scope and duration of such warranty and the extent of Vint’s liability will be the minimum permitted under such law.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Vint and its Affiliates harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, and fees of any kind (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal costs), arising from or relating to: (a) any information (including your User Content or any other content) that you or anyone using your account submit, post, or transmit on or through the Site or Services; (b) the use of the Site or Services by you or anyone using your account; (c) the violation of these Terms by you or anyone using your account; or (d) the violation of any rights of any third party, including intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other proprietary rights by you or anyone using your account. Vint reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you. If we do assume the defense of such a matter, you will reasonably cooperate with Vint in such defense.

16. Arbitration

By accessing or using the Site or Services, you agree: (i) that any and all disputes you may have with, or claims you may have against Vint or its Affiliates relating to, arising out of or connected in any way with (a) the Site or Services, (b) these Terms, or (c) the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate (a “Claim”), will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA Rules”). The arbitration will be heard and determined by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision in any such arbitration will be final and binding upon the parties and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties agree that the arbitration will be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it will not be disclosed beyond the arbitration proceedings, except as may be required by applicable law.

If you demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Vint will pay as much of the administrative costs and arbitrator’s fees required for the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the cost of the arbitration from being prohibitive. In the final award, the arbitrator may apportion the costs of arbitration and the compensation of the arbitrator among the parties in such amounts as the arbitrator deems appropriate.

This arbitration agreement does not preclude you from seeking action by federal, state, or local government agencies. You and Vint also have the right to bring qualifying claims in small claims court. In addition, you and Vint retain the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for provisional relief, including pre-arbitral attachments or preliminary injunctions, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with these Terms, nor a waiver of the right to have disputes submitted to arbitration as provided in these Terms of Use.

Neither you nor Vint may act as a class representative or private attorney general, nor participate as a member of a class of claimants, with respect to any Claim. Claims may not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis. The arbitrator can decide only your and/or Vint’s individual Claims. The arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial.

THIS SECTION LIMITS CERTAIN RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO MAINTAIN A COURT ACTION, THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY FORM OF CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIM, THE RIGHT TO ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN AAA RULES, AND THE RIGHT TO CERTAIN REMEDIES AND FORMS OF RELIEF. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU OR VINT WOULD HAVE IN COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION. If any provision of this Section is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then that specific provision shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed, but the remainder of this Section will continue in full force and effect. This Section of these Terms will survive the termination of your relationship with Vint.

17. Other Provisions

Under no circumstances will Vint be held liable for any delay or failure in performance due in whole or in part to any acts of nature or other causes beyond its reasonable control.

These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any conflict of laws rules or provisions.

You agree that any action of whatever nature arising from or relating to these Terms, the Site, or any Services will be filed only in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco County, California. You consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of any such action.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining provisions.

The failure of Vint to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not prevent Vint from enforcing such right or provision in the future.

We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, a sale of assets, or by operation of law.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may change these Terms from time to time. If we change these Terms, we will inform you by posting the revised Terms on the Site. Those changes will go into effect on the “Revised” date shown in the revised Terms. By continuing to access or use the Site or Services, you agree to the revised Terms.
