This summary is for orientation only. The full text below is what governs.

This Professional Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between you ("Professional") and Vikrant Singh, an individual, Manila, Philippines. Slide Practice is operated by Vikrant Singh, Manila, Philippines. In this Agreement, "Slide Practice", "we", "us", and "our" refer to that operator. By creating a Professional account, you agree to be bound by this Agreement, our Terms of Service, our Privacy Policy, our Acceptable Use Policy, and our Refund Policy.

1. Independent contractor status

The Professional is an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment, partnership or joint venture relationship between the Professional and Slide Practice, and neither party acts on the other's behalf. The Professional is solely responsible for the conduct of their business.

2. Professional representations and warranties

The Professional represents and warrants that: (a) they hold all required licenses, certifications, and authorizations to render the services offered, where applicable; (b) the services offered are lawful in the Professional's jurisdiction of practice; (c) all information provided to Slide Practice is accurate and current; (d) they will comply with all applicable laws including tax and consumer protection laws; and (e) the Professional is at least 18 years old and has full legal authority to enter into and be bound by this Agreement. One-to-one guidance is generally not a regulated profession in most places, though some fields are regulated; you are responsible for your own licensing and compliance; however, the Professional must not represent themselves as licensed in regulated professions (e.g., psychotherapy, medical practice, legal practice) unless they hold the relevant license.

Truthful identity. The Professional further represents and warrants that they are a real person; that their display name is their real working name; and that their profile photo is a genuine, current likeness of themselves and is not AI-generated, a stock image, or the likeness of another person. The Professional agrees to keep their identity, name, and photo truthful and current. Identity verification is free. Only identity-verified professionals may advertise, so verification is required before Slide Practice will advertise or promote a business. Slide Practice reserves the right to require identity verification of any Professional, at any time, as a condition of staying listed in Find a tutor or coach. Using AI to assist with written bio or profile text is permitted; misrepresenting identity is not. See how verification works.

3. Service standards

The Professional agrees to render services in a professional manner consistent with industry standards (such as the ICF Code of Ethics where applicable); honor confirmed Bookings; communicate respectfully with Clients; and deliver the services described in their profile.

4. Pricing modes commitment

The Professional acknowledges that Slide Practice is built on the principle of accessible pricing; that the three rate model (Standard, Reduced, Scholarship) is central to what Slide Practice is for; and that setting all three rates to the same amount defeats that purpose, though it is permitted.

5. Subscription plans

Slide Practice takes no commission and does not process payments between the Professional and their Clients. The Professional collects payment from Clients directly and keeps one hundred percent (100%) of what they earn. Slide Practice charges only an optional recurring subscription fee for Professional plans. Paddle (Paddle.com Market Ltd) is our Merchant of Record: it is the seller of record for your subscription, collects your payment, and charges and remits any applicable sales tax or VAT. Any promotional time on the Professional plan a Professional receives comes through our referral program, not from an automatic free trial, and any such promotional time is described where it is offered. Billing questions may be directed to billing@slidepractice.com.

6. Tax responsibility

Professional is solely responsible for determining, collecting, reporting, and remitting all taxes applicable to the services they provide to their Clients. Because Professionals collect payment from Clients directly and Slide Practice is not in that payment path, Slide Practice does not act as a tax agent or withholding agent for the Professional.

7. Client confidentiality

The Professional agrees to maintain reasonable confidentiality of Client information obtained through Slide Practice; not to use such information for any purpose other than providing the booked service; and to comply with applicable data protection laws.

8. Intellectual property

The Professional retains all intellectual property rights in their bio, profile content, program materials, intake forms, and submitted materials. The Professional grants Slide Practice a non exclusive, royalty free, worldwide license to display such content as part of running Slide Practice.

9. Restrictions

The Professional agrees not to: (a) misrepresent qualifications; (b) accept Bookings they cannot fulfill; (c) discriminate in violation of our Acceptable Use Policy; or (d) use a false identity, a false or borrowed name, or an AI-generated, stock, or misappropriated profile photo, or otherwise impersonate any person.

10. Termination

Either party may terminate this Agreement with thirty (30) days' written notice. Slide Practice may terminate immediately for material breach. Slide Practice may also unpublish a listing, revoke identity verification, and suspend or terminate the account immediately, without notice, if it determines that the Professional's identity, name, or photo is false, fabricated, AI-generated, or the likeness of another person.

11. Indemnification

The Professional shall indemnify and hold harmless Slide Practice from claims arising out of (i) services rendered by the Professional; (ii) the Professional's misrepresentation of qualifications; or (iii) the Professional's violation of this Agreement or applicable law.

12. Disclaimer of warranties, no guarantee of outcomes, and limitation of liability

Slide Practice is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Slide Practice disclaims all implied warranties, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non infringement, and does not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error free.

Slide Practice is software, not a professional, and does not guarantee any result. Slide Practice makes no guarantee of any income, earnings, client outcome, booking volume, or business result the Professional may achieve using Slide Practice, and any figures or examples are illustrative only. Where Slide Practice records session hours, continuing education, or credential related information (for example toward ICF or NBHWC requirements), it provides a record only; it does not award, confer, or guarantee acceptance of any hours, certification, or credential, which rest with the relevant credentialing body.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, and in addition to the limitations of liability set out under "Limitation of liability" in our Terms of Service, which apply to this Agreement, Slide Practice will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or loss of goodwill, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or Slide Practice. Slide Practice's total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to this Agreement will not exceed the total subscription fees the Professional paid to Slide Practice in the twelve (12) months immediately before the event giving rise to the claim.

13. Governing law and dispute resolution

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines. The dispute resolution provisions set out under "Governing law and dispute resolution" in our Terms of Service govern this Agreement in full, and no other forum is specified here: good faith negotiation first, then binding arbitration administered by the Philippine Dispute Resolution Center, Inc. (PDRCI) under the Philippine Alternative Dispute Resolution Act of 2004 (Republic Act No. 9285), seated in Metro Manila, conducted in English, before one arbitrator, together with the class action waiver and the carve outs that preserve the mandatory rights you have under the law of your own country or place of residence.

14. Payments acknowledgment

Professional acknowledges that Slide Practice does not process, hold, or route payments between Professional and Clients; that Professional collects payment from Clients directly using payment methods Professional arranges and keeps one hundred percent (100%) of what Professional earns; that Slide Practice charges no commission on Client payments; and that Professional's only payment to Slide Practice is the optional recurring Professional subscription fee, billed through Paddle. Paddle (Paddle.com Market Ltd) is our Merchant of Record: it is the seller of record for your subscription, collects your payment, and charges and remits any applicable sales tax or VAT, under Paddle's own terms.

15. AI usage and client consent (mandatory)

15.1 Slide Practice offers optional AI features, including audio transcription, the drafting of the report your client receives after a session, and the call recorder that joins a Zoom or Google Meet call (collectively, the "AI Features"). The meeting recorder is not live yet. Uploads work on every plan. Use of AI Features is at the Professional’s sole discretion and risk.

15.2 Professional acknowledges and agrees that, before recording or uploading any session audio, the Professional must obtain and document the Client's informed consent through the Slide Practice consent flow (or an equivalent written consent retained on file). Required disclosures include: (a) that the session will be recorded; (b) that the recording will be transmitted to Slide Practice and its enterprise large language model, speech to text, and meeting capture sub processors for transcription, the drafting of the report, and meeting capture; and (c) that the audio is cleared as soon as the report has been drafted from it, that the transcript and the report are kept until the account is closed, and that closing the account erases both within 30 days. There is no setting that keeps audio for longer and none that deletes a single report sooner. The named providers, with what each one sees and where it runs, are on our sub-processors page.

15.3 Professional is solely responsible for compliance with all recording laws applicable to the Professional's and the Client's jurisdictions, including all party consent and bilateral consent statutes. Professional shall not record any session before consent has been confirmed in Slide Practice or otherwise documented. What that confirmation asks for, and the law behind it, is our recording and consent guidance.

15.4 Professional acknowledges that a drafted report may contain errors or omissions, and shall review and edit every report before sending it to the Client. Slide Practice makes no representation as to the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for purpose of any drafted output.

15.5 Professional shall not use AI Features to process audio of any individual who has not consented, of any minor without parental or guardian consent where required, or in any manner that violates Applicable Law. Professional indemnifies Slide Practice for any breach of this Section 15.

15.6 Withdrawal of consent by a Client immediately revokes authorization to record that Client again. The audio of any earlier session is in any case cleared once the report has been drafted from it; if a Client asks for the transcript or the report to go sooner than account closure, write to support@slidepractice.com. Professional may not attempt to circumvent or override a Client’s withdrawn consent.

16. Entire agreement, changes, severability, and assignment

This Agreement, together with our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, and Refund Policy, constitutes the entire agreement between the Professional and Slide Practice about its subject matter.

Slide Practice may update this Agreement from time to time. When we make a material change, we will give notice by email or inside the product before it takes effect, and continued use after the effective date means the Professional accepts the updated Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will stay in full force and effect. The Professional may not assign or transfer this Agreement without our prior written consent; Slide Practice may assign this Agreement in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. A failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision.

17. Acceptance

By creating a Professional account, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Agreement.
