Our Marketplace

KitSplit EDU is an online marketplace designed to connect Students and Instructors.

We also do not have control over:

  • The accuracy of any posting by Instructors or Students;
  • The ability of Instructors to lead or teach; or
  • The ability of Students to attend or pay for the Class.

When using our Service, know that there is no guarantee that the parties will comply with any terms of the applicable terms.

KitSplit Inc. is not liable for a User’s deceptive or fraudulent acts, cancellation of Class, voluntary parting of the Gear, theft of Gear, or any other loss caused by a User’s deceptive or fraudulent acts through KitSplit EDU. KitSplit may, in its sole discretion, choose to work with law enforcement and any insurance companies involved, and cooperate with any investigation and produce information about the incident and the parties involved.

Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use our Services. If you are under 18 years old and would like to use KitSplit EDU, you can, but only if a parent or legal guardian who is at least 18 years old supervises you. In all cases, the adult would be the user and is responsible for any and all activity.

We operate in the United States of America, and we provide KitSplit for use only by Users located in the United States. Furthermore, KitSplit EDU is hosted in the United States. As such, we make no representation that KitSplit EDU is appropriate or available for use outside the United States. Users who access KitSplit EDU or any part thereof from outside United State do so at their own risk and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws. For the avoidance of doubt, Users accessing KitSplit EDU from the European Union, Asia, or any other region with laws or regulations governing personal data collection, use, and disclosure that differ from U.S. laws, are advised that through their continued use of KitSplit EDU, which is governed by U.S. law, consent to transferring their personal information to the United States.

Your Account With KitSplit

You don’t need to create an account on KitSplit in order to browse for Classes. However, you’ll need to create an account with KitSplit in order to attend any Class. To create an account, you will need to provide us with your first and last name, email address, a password and other information. Here are a few common sense rules and acknowledgements that we ask you comply with and understand when you create an account:

Be honest with us. Provide accurate information about yourself. It’s not OK to use false information or to impersonate another person or company through your account.

You’re responsible for your account. You’re solely responsible for any activity on your account. If you’re sharing an account with other people, then the person whose billing information is on the account will ultimately be responsible for all activity. If you’re registering as a business entity, you personally guarantee that you have the authority to agree to the KS EDU Terms on behalf of the business. Your accounts are not transferable. You are solely responsible for any activity on your account, so it’s important to keep your account password secure.

Be clear about our relationship. Except as explicitly stated in these KS EDU Terms, creating an account with KitSplit or using our Service does not create an agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or franchisee relationship with us. No confidential, fiduciary, contractually implied, or other relationship is created with us other than pursuant to these Terms.

Passwords. You’re responsible for safeguarding the password that you use to access KitSplit and for any activities or actions under your password. We encourage you to use “strong” passwords (passwords that use a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols) with your account. We cannot, and will not, be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above.

Please contact contact@kitsplit.com to answer any questions you have about registering an account with KitSplit.

Classes

Upon receipt of a Class confirmation from KitSplit, a legally binding agreement is formed between the Instructor and Student, subject to any additional terms and conditions detailed in the Class Listing.

If you are an Instructor, you understand and agree that we do not act as an insurer or as your contracting agent. By entering into a Class as an Instructor, any agreement you enter into with such Student is between you and the Student, and KitSplit Inc. is not a party to it. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you hereby appoint KitSplit Inc. as your limited agent for the purpose of collecting the Class Payments from Students, and you understand that our obligation to pay you is subject to and conditional upon successful receipt of the associated payments from Students. In accepting appointment as the limited collection agent of the Instructor, we assume no liability for any acts or omissions of the Instructor.

Fees and Billing

Service Fees. For each Class, we charge a service fee (“Service Fee”) as follows: (a) 20% of the Class’s advertised Class price as listed on a Class Listing (the “Listed Class Price”) from Instructors. The Service Fee helps cover payment processing, member vetting, hosting, and other services to run KitSplit smoothly.

Here are some things to keep in mind about fees and payment:

Stripe. To enter into a Class, you’ll be required to register with Stripe, our payment processor, and to go through a vetting process to set up an account. You will then be required to provide your credit card or bank account details to Stripe and will be obligated to agree to Stripe’s terms of use. We do not have control over Stripe and disclaims all liability with respect to it. We do not store or maintain any User’s payment information. Any issues with payments may need to be resolved with the payment processors directly. By enabling Stripe for use with KitSplit EDU, you grant us permission to access your data and take any other actions as required for the interoperation of Stripe with KitSplit EDU, and any exchange of data or other interaction between you and Stripe is solely between you and Stripe.

Responsibility for Paying Fees. Our Service Fee and any third-party processing fees will be deducted from the Listed Class Price. Students will be responsible for paying the Class Payment for the applicable Class, which includes the Listed Class Price, any extra payments related to the Class, such as travel, delivery, maintenance, or other assistance as linked to any particular Gear to be provided by Instructor, and any other applicable fees (as determined in our sole discretion). Once a Student has registered for a particular Class, the Student will be charged and hereby authorizes Stripe to process the Class Payment. Instructor acknowledges and agrees that we will remit the Class Payment to Instructor within 1-3 days from the date the applicable Class begins.

Taxes. You will be liable for any taxes (including VAT, if applicable) required to be paid in connection with any Class (other than taxes on the Company’s income). Except as set forth in these KS EDU Terms, Instructors will be solely liable for any taxes resulting from any Class or use of KitSplit (including VAT, if applicable) and will be solely responsible to determine what taxes, if any, he or she must pay. Instructors will be solely liable for any income taxes required to be paid on a Class (other than taxes on the Company’s income).

Our Rights. We reserve the right to change the foregoing fees and agree to notify users of any changes in such fees prior to charging you. We also reserve the right, in our sole discretion (but not the obligation), to: (i) place on hold any Class Payment for an indefinite period, or (ii) refund or provide credits to a Student or Instructor, or arrange for Stripe to do so, from the funds paid by a Student or received by an Instructor if we determine, in our sole discretion, that any impropriety has occurred in a Class.

Communication Between Instructors and Students

KitSplit EDU is a community-oriented service that allows for communication and sharing of information between Instructors and Students to facilitate Classes. In order to build and maintain an amazing community on KitSplit EDU:

Don’t Undermine KitSplit or go off-platform. You agree not to register for a Class or otherwise attend or offer any Classes outside of KitSplit with an Instructor or Student initially discovered through KitSplit. If your Class is not paid through KitSplit, you will not be protected by KitSplit’s Short Term Class Insurance or Damage Coverage (if applicable) and you will be solely liable for such Class. Going off-platform also will limit our ability to grow and build our community of artists and creative workers. We reserve the right to block you and/or remove you from KitSplit if we find that you have taken a transaction off KitSplit.

Instructors must offer Classes on KitSplit. If you offer Classes on KitSplit you must conduct all written communications through the KitSplit messaging service. If you choose to offer the Class, you must accept payment and complete the Class on KitSplit. Any Student who initially contacted you on KitSplit must thereafter register for more Classes from you on KitSplit. If you rent to a Student who you initially met through KitSplit but you accept payment off of the KitSplit platform, the terms of these KS EDU Terms will not apply to such transaction, and you will be completely unprotected and liable for any damage to or theft of your equipment. If you do not complete the transaction on KitSplit, you will be damaging our community’s trust and we reserve the right to remove you and bar you from our Services.

Students must register for Classes on KitSplit. If you find Classes to attend on KitSplit you must conduct all written communications through the KitSplit messaging service and you must make payments and complete the Class on KitSplit. When you initially contact an Instructor for the first time on KitSplit, and decide to register for another Class offered by that Instructor again, you must thereafter register with that Instructor through KitSplit. If you rent equipment from an Instructor who you initially met through KitSplit but you make payments off of the KitSplit platform, the terms of these KS EDU Terms will not apply to such transaction, and you will be liable for any damage to or theft of the equipment (if applicable). If you do not complete the transaction on KitSplit, you will be damaging our community’s trust and we reserve the right to remove you and bar you from our Services.

Be Careful.

When interacting with other Users, you should exercise caution and common sense to protect your personal safety and property, just as you would when interacting with other persons that you don’t know. Each User should undertake his or her own research to be satisfied that a specific User is suitable to offer or attend a Class. Instructors should always ask to check a Student’s government-issued identification card or passport in order to ensure that Instructors are meeting with the right Student.

Like many online services, KitSplit allows users to post, transmit, or store text or other materials, such as Class Listings, Public Discussion, Member Feedback, and third-party links (collectively, "Content").

Permission to Use Your Content. You retain all ownership rights in any Content that you post to KitSplit.

Note that this means that we may use any published listings for commercial means and may sell or exchange information (except personal information pursuant to our Privacy Policy) with third parties.

Responsibility for Your Content. You should only provide Content that you have the right to share and are comfortable sharing with others. Don’t upload, post, or otherwise transmit any Content to or through KitSplit that infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates any copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property right, right of privacy, right of publicity, or any other right of any entity or person, or that is unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane, or that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law or KitSplit rule or policy. If you do so, we reserve the right to remove any and all of your Content from KitSplit.

Approval of Content. We do not verify or pre-approve any posted Content, and User opinions are not our opinions. We do not warrant, and will not be responsible for, the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of Content posted on or through KitSplit.

You understand that we do not audit, create, or direct any of the Classes and their associated materials or equipment offered through our Service. We cannot and do not make any warranties about Class quality, safety, or even their legality. Any legal claim related to a Class you attend must be brought directly against the Instructor of the Class.

Limitation of Liability.

Choice of Law

This Agreement shall be governed by, subject to, and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, and the federal laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of laws principles. You waive any objection based on lack of personal jurisdiction, place of residence, improper venue, or forum non conveniens in any such action.

Arbitration and Waiver of Class Action

Agreement to Arbitrate. While we do not get involved in any legal dispute between Students and Instructors (as set forth above), we understand that it is possible that you may have a legal claim directly against us. While we hope that’s not the case, in the event that you do have a dispute with us, you agree to arbitrate any dispute with us arising from these KS EDU Terms or your use of KitSplit on an individual basis. That means you cannot sue us in court or have a trial by jury.

Format for Arbitration. In the case of a dispute, you agree that: (i) any in-person arbitration will occur in New York, New York; and (ii) the arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of American Arbitration Association for arbitration of consumer-related disputes, in the English language, and with limited discovery.

Hearings may be conducted in person, by telephone, or over the internet, and the arbitrator may provide for submitting and determining motions on briefs, without oral hearings.

Furthermore, any disputes, claims, or controversy arising out of or relating to these KS EDU Terms, or breach thereof, may (in our sole discretion) be settled by arbitration administered by FairClaims (www.fairclaims.com) (or any other arbitration services that we deem appropriate) in accordance with its Arbitration Rules & Procedures effective at the time a claim is made, and you consent to electronic service of process.

Other than class procedures and remedies discussed below, the arbitrator will have the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available to a court or other tribunal. THE PREVAILING PARTY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE THESE TERMS SHALL ALSO BE ENTITLED TO COSTS AND ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND THE ARBITRAL DECISION MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY COURT.

Waiver of Class Action. WHETHER THE DISPUTE IS HEARD IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT, YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT COMMENCE A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

Forum

If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the parties agree that the claim will be brought exclusively in a federal court located in New York, New York. The parties expressly consent to this exclusive jurisdiction and waive any and all objections based on inconvenience of venue or jurisdiction. However, the parties may seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect its intellectual property rights and any claims regarding infringement or misappropriation of its intellectual property rights in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Time Limitation on Claims

You agree that any claim you may have arising out of or related to your relationship with us must be filed within one (1) year after such claim arose, where, for purposes of this section, the time that the injury or harm occurred – not when it was discovered thereafter – is where it arose; otherwise, your claim is permanently barred.

Your Relationship with Us

Except as otherwise set forth hereunder, nothing in these KS EDU Terms shall be deemed to constitute, create, give effect to, or otherwise recognize a partnership, franchise, agency, joint venture, or formal business entity of any kind or create a fiduciary or similar relationship with us. Instructors are not employees of KitSplit Inc.
