These terms and conditions of use (“Terms”) constitute a legal agreement and are entered into by and between you (“User(s)”, “you(r)(s)”) and Clutch App Inc. (“Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”). These Terms govern your access to and use of the Company’s Clutch App available via download at the App Store, Google Play or www.clutchapp.ca (the “App”), including any content, functionality, and services offered on or through the App.
BY USING THE APP, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND AND COMPLY WITH THESE TERMS, OUR PRIVACY POLICY, AND OUR END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT, INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS OR THE PRIVACY POLICY OR THE END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT, YOU MUST NOT ACCESS OR USE THE APP.
By using this App, you represent and warrant that you are the legal age of majority under applicable law to form a binding contract with the Company and meet all of the foregoing eligibility requirements. If you do not meet all of these requirements, you must not access or use the App.
If you are using the App on behalf of a corporation, organization, government, or other legal entity, you represent and warrant to the Company that you have full power and authority to do so.
The App is not intended to be used by persons outside Canada. If you live outside Canada, do not use the App.
You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining all of the appliances, hardware and software that you may need to access and use the App. Without limiting the foregoing, the Instructor must obtain and maintain, and pay all charges, taxes and other costs and fees related to Internet access, telephone, computer, and other equipment, and any communications or other charges incurred by the Instructor to access and use the App.
The App connects driving instructors (the “Instructor(s)”) with students (“Client(s)”) seeking driving lessons (“Services”). (Instructors and Clients are referred to collectively as “Users”.)
We serve only as a medium to connect Instructors and Clients, and as a limited payment collection agent for the Instructor to facilitate payment for Services on behalf of the Client through the App. In acting as the limited payment collection agent for Services, the Company disclaims any other agency or authority to act on behalf of the Instructor.
Clients and Instructors both acknowledge and agree that a legally binding contract with the other is formed when they agree on the terms of a Service. The Company is not a party to any such agreement, and the formation of an agreement for a Service will not, under any circumstances, create an employment or other service relationship between the Instructor and the Client.
Neither Instructors nor Clients have authority to enter into written or oral — whether implied or express — contracts on our behalf.
The App is licensed, not sold. As further outlined in the Intellectual Property Rights section below, the App is protected by copyright laws and international copyright treaties, as well as other intellectual property laws and treaties. Unauthorized reproduction or distribution of the App, or any portion of it, may result in severe civil and criminal penalties, and will be prosecuted to the maximum extent possible under the law.
All personal data you submit to the App or which we collect about you is governed by our Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”). You acknowledge that by using the App you have reviewed the Privacy Policy.
The Company does not perform Services and does not employ people to perform Services. The Company is not an employment agency service or business.
The Company does not provide or contract for Services; Instructors and Clients contract independently for the provision of Services.
Instructors on the App are independent businesses or contractors. Instructors provide Services under their own name or business name, and not under the Company’s name. Instructors set their own rates. The Company does not set Instructors’ hours or terms of work. The Company does not control or direct the Instructors’ performance of the Services or set their work locations or work hours. Instructors provide their own tools and supplies to perform their Services; the Company does not provide the tools or supplies. Instructors are free to maintain a clientele without any restrictions from us, and are free to offer and provide their services elsewhere, including through competing platforms.

Instructors must complete the Company’s Clutch Licensing requirements, which may include certification or accreditation as a driving instruction facility.
The Company has the right to restrict anyone from completing registration if such person may threaten the safety and integrity of the App, or if such restriction is necessary to address any other reasonable business concern.
Our registration process will ask you for information including your name, payment information and other personal information, and in registering for an Account, you agree to provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the App’s registration process and as requested from time to time by the Company (“Registration Data”).

Once you create an Account, you shall receive a unique user identification and password in connection with your Account (“Account ID(s)”). You are required to select an appropriate and non-offensive Account ID. Ideally, the Account ID you choose will be a reasonably descriptive name that clearly identifies you. We reserve the right to remove or reclaim any Account ID if we believe, in our sole discretion, the Account ID is inappropriate, offensive or confusing or potentially violates the rights of a third party (such as when a trademark owner provides notice that an Account ID is similar to the trademark and the Account ID does not closely relate to the User's actual name or trademark rights).
You are the sole authorized user of your Account. You agree to maintain your Account solely for your own use. You agree that you will not allow another person to use your Account ID to access or use the App under any circumstances.You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any log-in, password, and Account number provided by you or given to you by the Company for accessing the App.

The Company has no control over the use of any User’s Account and expressly disclaims any liability derived therefrom. We are not liable for any harm caused by or related to the theft of your Account ID, your disclosure of your Account ID, or your authorization to allow another person to access or use the App using your Account ID. Should you suspect that any unauthorized party may be using your password or Account or you suspect any other breach of security, you agree to notify the Company immediately.
We have implemented technical and organizational measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use your personal information for improper purposes. You acknowledge that you provide your personal information to us aware of these risks.
If we reasonably suspect that your Account has been used for an unauthorized, illegal, or criminal purpose, you give us express authorization to share information about you, your Account, and any of your transactions with law enforcement.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted as requiring Instructors to offer Services on this App exclusively to or its Clients. Instructors remain free to provide Services on any other platform to third parties.
The Services provided by Instructors shall include preparation of educational content including educational material.
Users who are interested in an Instructor’s Services will click on the Services description and review the content of the Services, as well as the Instructor’s prices and reviews.

For Clients:
It is possible that a scheduling conflict may occur that requires the Instructor to reschedule your Services.

For any bookings of Services that you fail to attend, the Instructor shall be entitled to a no-show fee of a minimum of 15% of the original fee for the Services.
If you cancel or do not show for a booking for Services, you will be charged a cancellation fee, and your credit card may still be charged in accordance with the cancellation policy of the Instructor.
If the Instructor cancels or fails to attend any booked Service, we will provide the Client a credit on her/his account for the amount paid for the Service, which they may apply to any future bookings, or, if no further bookings are made, which they may request us to refund.
Instructor understands and agrees that his or her work and educational content material is subject to review by the Company. Instructors shall collaborate with the Company in ensuring the mutual goal of providing a high-quality education experience for Clients.
