2. Host Responsibilities
2.1 Listings
Hosts must provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date information about their venues in their listings on the ClassX platform. This includes, but is not limited to, details such as venue availability, pricing, location, size, amenities, rules, and any other relevant information that may impact instructors’ booking decisions. Hosts are responsible for promptly updating their listings if any changes occur that affect availability or venue conditions. Inaccurate or misleading information may result in the removal of the listing or suspension of hosting privileges. ClassX reserves the right to verify and review listings to ensure compliance with platform standards.
2.2 Compliance
Hosts are solely responsible for ensuring that their venues comply with all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, regulations, and safety standards. This includes, but is not limited to, building codes, fire safety regulations, health and sanitation requirements, and any other rules relevant to the operation and use of the venue. Hosts must also ensure that their venues are accessible as required by law and are suitable for the intended use described in the listing. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the suspension or termination of hosting privileges on ClassX, and hosts are solely responsible for any fines, penalties, or legal consequences arising from non-compliance.
2.3 Venue Quality
Hosts must ensure that their venues are maintained in a safe, clean, and fully functional condition throughout the booking period. This includes, but is not limited to, providing necessary amenities as described in the venue listing, adhering to local safety and health regulations, and ensuring the venue is free of hazards that could harm instructors, participants, or other guests. If any issues arise that could impact the quality or usability of the venue, the host must notify ClassX and the instructor immediately. ClassX reserves the right to suspend or remove venue listings that fail to meet these standards.
2.4 Insurance
Hosts are responsible for obtaining and maintaining appropriate insurance coverage for their venues, including but not limited to liability insurance, property insurance, or any other relevant coverage. This insurance should cover any potential claims arising from the use of the venue by instructors, participants, or other third parties. ClassX may, at its discretion, request proof of such insurance coverage. ClassX is not responsible for providing any insurance for hosts, instructors, or participants, and hosts assume all risk related to their venue operations.
2.5 Host Conduct
Hosts must behave professionally and treat all instructors, participants, and other platform users with respect. Any form of discrimination, harassment, or inappropriate behavior is strictly prohibited. Hosts are expected to adhere to the principles outlined in our [Community Code of Conduct], which provides further guidance on acceptable behavior and interactions. Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in the suspension or termination of your hosting privileges on ClassX.
3. Booking and Hosting Process
3.1 Booking Confirmation
When you accept a booking request, you enter into a contract with the instructor to provide the venue in your listing, including all specified amenities, conditions, and availability.. While ClassX facilitates the booking process by providing the platform, payment processing, and communication tools, we may intervene if disputes arise regarding payments, cancellations, or violations of platform policies. In such cases, ClassX reserves the right to mediate or take further action to resolve the issue.
3.2 Cancellations
Hosts are not permitted to set independent cancellation policies. Once a booking is confirmed, hosts are expected to honor the commitment and provide the venue as scheduled. If a host cancels a confirmed booking, this may result in penalties, including but not limited to suspension or removal from the platform, depending on the severity or frequency of cancellations. ClassX will handle all participant refunds and manage cancellations on behalf of the instructor in accordance with platform-wide policies. In the event of an unavoidable emergency or force majeure situation, hosts must contact ClassX immediately for assistance in handling the cancellation.
3.3 Communication
Hosts are expected to respond to booking inquiries, messages, and any communications from instructors or ClassX in a timely and professional manner to ensure smooth operations and a positive experience for all users. Failure to respond within a reasonable time frame may result in negative impacts on the host’s listing visibility or platform standing. Hosts should remain available during the booking process to address any questions or concerns from instructors and ClassX. Consistent communication is crucial to maintaining a high level of service and trust within the ClassX community.
4. Pricing and Payments
4.1 Revenue Share
Hosts will receive a base revenue share of 15% of the revenue received by ClassX for each completed class if they only provide the venue and logistics without participant acquisition. However, if the host can demonstrate that they brought in up to 30% of the participants for a class, they will be rewarded with a revenue share ranging between 15% and 30%. The host must provide verifiable proof of their contribution to participant acquisition to qualify for the higher percentage. ClassX will evaluate and confirm the host’s involvement before adjusting the revenue share accordingly.
4.2 Payment Timeline:
Payments will be made within 30 days after the end of the month in which the class takes place. Hosts will receive their payment in US dollars, less any applicable fees, taxes, or refunds that may apply. Payments will be processed through the host’s preferred payment method as registered on the ClassX platform.
4.3 Deductions
ClassX reserves the right to deduct any applicable refunds issued to participants, taxes, and payment processing fees before calculating the Host’s payout. The final payout will reflect these deductions, and hosts will receive a statement detailing the breakdown of the deductions applied.
4.4 Taxes
Hosts are solely responsible for determining, collecting, reporting, and remitting any taxes applicable to their earnings, including but not limited to income taxes, value-added taxes (VAT), or other applicable taxes. ClassX does not withhold taxes on behalf of hosts, and hosts should consult their tax advisors to ensure compliance with local tax regulations.
