These Terms of Service govern your use of the Gliss platform, operated by NexGeMM LLC. Please read them carefully before using the app.

By creating an account, clicking "I Agree," or otherwise accessing or using Gliss ("the Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use Gliss. These Terms apply to all users of the Platform, including students or learners who book classes ("Students") and instructors who list classes ("Instructors"). Gliss is a two-sided software marketplace platform that connects independent Instructors with Students. Gliss is not an employer, educational institution, school, or agent for any Instructor or Student. Instructors are independent third-party service providers who retain sole, exclusive control over their schedules, curricula, instructional methods, and pricing. IMPORTANT: These Terms contain an arbitration agreement and class action waiver (Section 18). Please read them carefully.

The Platform is currently available to users in the United States. Account registration is limited to individuals 18 years of age or older. Minor students (under 18) may not create accounts directly. A parent or legal guardian ("Authorized Adult") may create an account and book classes on behalf of a minor student of any age. The Authorized Adult is the account holder and is solely responsible for all activity conducted on behalf of the minor, compliance with these Terms, and ensuring the minor meets any age, proficiency, or fitness requirements specified by the Instructor. By using the Platform, you represent that you are not barred from using Gliss under applicable law and that you are not registered or required to register as a sex offender with any government entity.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at info@gliss.live if you suspect unauthorized access. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating your account and to keep it up to date. You may not register more than one account or transfer your account to another person. Gliss reserves the right to suspend, restrict, or terminate your account at any time, with or without prior notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms, engaged in conduct harmful to the Platform or its users, or for any other reason at our sole discretion.

Gliss is a software platform that connects Students with Instructors. Gliss does not collect, hold, transfer, or disburse session payments. When a Student confirms a booking, payment is processed through our integrated payment processor (e.g., Stripe, Inc.). Class prices are set solely by the Instructor. Transaction, processing, and convenience fees apply to purchases on the platform. The exact fees depend on the selected payment method and may either be integrated into the class listing pricing or displayed alongside the specific payment options on the checkout screen before final confirmation. All options and associated transaction fees will be fully and clearly disclosed at checkout. Payment processing and transaction fees are non-refundable even if a class is cancelled or refunded. If a payment transfer is returned or a transaction is disputed (such as a failed ACH transfer or a credit card chargeback), Gliss reserves the right to charge an administrative penalty to recover associated bank fees and platform overhead costs.

Gliss charges Instructors a percentage-based platform fee on gross session revenue each calendar month. The standard rate is 8%. Founding Instructors pay a reduced rate of 3%. Standard Instructors automatically transition to the 3% rate after completing 60 sessions. Current fee rates are available at join-gliss.live and are subject to change with 30 days' advance written notice. Free Trial Period: Founding Instructors pay 0% on all sessions through August 31, 2026. Starting September 1, 2026, the 3% Founding Instructor rate activates automatically. To retain Founding Instructor status, Founding Instructors must publish at least one publicly visible class listing by August 31, 2026. Platform Fees are billed automatically around the 5th of each month for the prior month's completed sessions.

Gliss is a software marketplace connecting independent Students and Instructors. We are not a party to any agreement between users, nor are we an insurer, agent, or employer of any Instructor. This policy balances student flexibility with instructors' time and preparation commitments. 1. CLASS FORMATS The cancellation rules depend on the class format designated by the Instructor, which is clearly displayed on the class listing: Type 1 (Fixed-Term / Enrollments): Multi-session courses, cohorts, or series with fixed dates (e.g., a 6-week course or choir). Type 2 (Pay-by-Session / Drop-In): Single, standalone classes or workshops. Type 3 (Private Lessons): One-on-one sessions scheduled directly within an Instructor’s available hours. 2. STANDARD INSTRUCTOR POLICIES Instructors set their own cancellation and refund windows (the "Standard Policy") for each class listing. Students agree to comply with and are bound by the specific Instructor's Standard Policy. 3. FIXED-TERM CLASSES (TYPE 1) RULES Because Type 1 classes require upfront commitments and seat allocations: In-Window Cancellations: Cancellations made in compliance with the Instructor’s Standard Policy receive a full refund, minus the non-refundable payment transaction fee and 3% refund processing fee paid at checkout. Late Cancellations: Cancellations made outside the Standard Policy window are strictly non-refundable unless explicitly authorized and initiated by the Instructor. No Partial Refunds: No partial refunds, makeup sessions, or platform credits for any missed individual sessions, unless agreed and initiated by the instructor. 4. DROP-IN & PRIVATE LESSONS (TYPES 2 & 3) RULES For Type 2 and Type 3 classes, Students purchase "Class Passes" and use them to book individual sessions. One (1) Class Pass represents admissibility to one (1) scheduled session of that specific class. Automatic Class Pass Return: If a Student cancels a booked session in compliance with the Instructor’s Standard Policy, the Class Pass is automatically returned to the Student’s platform account. Returned Class Passes are non-transferable digital credits with no cash value, redeemable only with the original Instructor. Cash Refund Option: To convert an eligible, unused Class Pass to a cash refund, a Student may view their remaining passes by class and submit a refund request on individual “class detail” page, subject to: (i) Instructor Approval: The Instructor retains absolute discretion to approve or deny the request. Denied requests remain as active Class Passes. (ii) 150-Day Limit: Requests must be submitted and approved within 150 calendar days of the original purchase. (iii) Deductions: Approved refunds are returned minus the checkout transaction fee and a three percent (3%) refund processing fee retained by Gliss. Bundled Passes: If a session purchased as part of a package or bulk series ("Bundled Pass") is cancelled in-window, credit is returned strictly as a Class Pass. Bundled Passes are entirely non-refundable to the original payment method. 5. INSTRUCTOR-INITIATED CANCELLATIONS If an Instructor cancels or reschedules a class, they may issue credit or refunds via: Class Pass Balance (Types 2 & 3 only); or Original Payment Method (All Types), which may be issued minus the original checkout payment transaction fee, subject to payment processor rules. 6. STUDENT NO-SHOWS If a Student fails to attend a scheduled session without canceling in accordance with the Instructor's Standard Policy, they forfeit the session. No refund or Class Pass will be issued, and the Instructor retains the full payment. 7. USER-TO-USER DISPUTES (SERVICE & QUALITY) Students and Instructors must attempt to resolve booking, scheduling, or quality disputes directly and in good faith. Support Escalation: If a mutual resolution cannot be reached, a party may contact Gliss support as a last resort at info@gliss.live. Platform Discretion: Gliss may, in its sole discretion, facilitate an informal resolution or issue discretionary platform credit. Gliss has no legal obligation to arbitrate or refund transactions and disclaims all liability arising from services rendered or user disputes. 8. FINANCIAL & TECHNICAL PROCESSOR DISPUTES Gliss does not hold or process session funds. All transactions, payouts, and chargebacks are handled directly by Stripe, Inc. ("Stripe") or the Instructor's integrated processor. Disclaimer: Gliss is not liable for payment network failures, processing delays, or chargeback fees. Chargebacks: Chargeback disputes initiated through a bank will be resolved via Stripe. Bypassing the refund procedures in Sections 4 or 7 by initiating an immediate chargeback may result in the suspension of the Student's Gliss account.

Instructors are independent contractors, not employees of NexGeMM LLC. You are solely responsible for the content, quality, and safety of your classes, obtaining any required licenses or permits, and complying with applicable laws. You agree to conduct yourself professionally in all interactions with Students. You must not engage in harassment, discrimination, or inappropriate contact with any Student. Off-Platform Restrictions: You may not direct Students to make session payments outside of the Gliss booking system to avoid the platform fee. Violations may result in immediate account termination. Payment Processing Obligations: You are responsible for maintaining your linked payment processor account in good standing and issuing refunds to Students in accordance with Section 6.

Instructors providing services to students under 18 must comply with the following: Communication: Do not communicate with minor students via personal phone, text, email, or social media unless the Authorized Adult is included or has given written consent. Supervision: Conduct lessons in open, visible settings. If a lesson must occur in a less visible location, an Authorized Adult should be present or nearby. Physical Contact: Any physical demonstration must be explained in advance and consented to. Stop immediately if the student or Authorized Adult objects. Mandatory Reporting: You may be a mandatory reporter of suspected child abuse or neglect and agree to comply with all applicable reporting obligations.

Gliss reserves the right to require Instructors to complete a background check through a qualified consumer reporting agency as a condition of listing on the Platform. Background checks are conducted in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). If Gliss takes adverse action based on a background check report, you will receive a pre-adverse action notice, a copy of the report, and an opportunity to dispute inaccurate information. Background checks do not guarantee future conduct and do not constitute an endorsement by Gliss.

Instructors are solely responsible for all tax obligations arising from their use of Gliss, including income tax and self-employment tax. Because Gliss does not process session payments on behalf of Instructors, Gliss will not issue IRS Form 1099-K for session revenue. Instructors' own payment processors are responsible for applicable tax reporting. Students are responsible for any applicable sales or use tax on class purchases where required by law.

Class Action Waiver: You waive the right to participate in any class action or representative proceeding. Exceptions: Either party may seek relief in small claims court. Intellectual property and emergency injunctive relief claims are excluded from arbitration.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California and the United States. Any judicial proceedings not subject to arbitration must be brought in state or federal court in San Francisco, California.

Gliss shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, war, terrorism, government actions, or failures of third-party services.

Severability: If any provision is found invalid, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions continue in full force. Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and NexGeMM LLC. Assignment: You may not assign your rights without Gliss's prior written consent. NexGeMM LLC may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
