Trybe — Terms of Service
Effective Date: May 6, 2026 | Last Updated: May 6, 2026
Please read these Terms of Service carefully before using the Trybe platform. By accessing or using Trybe, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the platform.
1. About Trybe — Marketplace Platform Only
Trybe is an online marketplace platform ("Platform") operated by Trybe LLC ("Trybe," "we," "our," or "us") that provides booking infrastructure, payment processing, and profile hosting to connect parents and guardians of youth athletes ("Parents") with sports trainers who independently list their services ("Trainers").
TRYBE IS A TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM ONLY. Trybe is not a sports training company, sports academy, coaching service, or staffing agency. Trybe does not employ, supervise, direct, control, or manage any Trainer. Trybe does not provide sports training services of any kind. Trainers are not employees, agents, representatives, partners, joint venturers, or independent contractors of Trybe or any affiliated entity. The relationship between Trybe and any Trainer is solely that of an independent third-party user of the Platform.
BY USING THE PLATFORM, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT TRYBE IS NOT A PARTY TO ANY AGREEMENT BETWEEN A PARENT AND A TRAINER, AND THAT TRYBE BEARS NO RESPONSIBILITY WHATSOEVER FOR THE ACTS, OMISSIONS, CONDUCT, QUALIFICATIONS, OR PERFORMANCE OF ANY TRAINER.
2. Eligibility
- Be at least 18 years of age to create an account (as a Parent or Trainer).
- Have the legal authority to enter into a binding contract in your jurisdiction.
- Provide accurate and complete registration information.
Trybe does not permit users under the age of 18 to create accounts. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.
3. User Accounts
3.1 Registration. You must register an account to book sessions or list training services. You agree to provide truthful, accurate, and current information.
3.2 Account Security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials. You agree to notify us immediately at support@trybe.co if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.
3.3 One Account Per User. Each individual may maintain only one active account. Duplicate accounts may be removed at our discretion.
4. Trainer Status, Vetting, and No Liability
4.1 Trainers Are Not Affiliated With Trybe. TRAINERS ARE INDEPENDENT THIRD PARTIES WHO USE THE TRYBE PLATFORM TO MARKET AND OFFER THEIR OWN SERVICES. TRAINERS ARE NOT EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, FRANCHISEES, PARTNERS, OR INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS OF TRYBE LLC OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATED ENTITIES. Trybe does not control, direct, supervise, or have the right to control any aspect of how a Trainer provides their services, sets their schedule, conducts sessions, or interacts with athletes or parents.
4.2 No Vicarious Liability. Because Trainers are not Trybe's employees or agents, Trybe is not vicariously liable for any act, omission, negligence, misconduct, injury, harm, loss, or damage caused by or attributable to any Trainer — whether occurring before, during, or after a session booked through the Platform.
4.3 Trainer Responsibility for Accuracy. Trainers represent and warrant that all information on their profiles — including credentials, playing background, certifications, experience, session descriptions, and pricing — is accurate, current, and not misleading. Trybe does not independently verify trainer-provided credentials and makes no guarantee of their accuracy.
4.4 Vetting Is Not an Endorsement. Trybe may conduct profile reviews or request supplemental information from Trainers. Any such review does not constitute a guarantee, endorsement, or warranty by Trybe regarding a Trainer's qualifications, character, reliability, fitness to work with minors, or suitability for any particular purpose. PARENTS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO CONDUCT THEIR OWN DUE DILIGENCE BEFORE BOOKING ANY TRAINER.
4.5 Background Checks. Trybe may invite Trainers to complete a third-party background check. Completion of a background check is not a guarantee of safety and does not create any additional liability or responsibility on the part of Trybe. Background checks are limited in scope and may not reveal all relevant information.
5. Booking and Payments
5.1 Payment Processing. All payments are processed through Stripe, a third-party payment processor. By making a payment, you also agree to Stripe's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Trybe does not store your full payment card information.
5.2 No Fees to Parents. Trybe does not charge booking fees to Parents. The price displayed on a Trainer's profile is the price you pay.
5.3 Trainer Compensation. Trybe collects payment from Parents and remits the applicable amount to Trainers according to the payout schedule communicated during Trainer onboarding, less any applicable platform fees.
5.4 Cancellations and Refunds. Cancellations made more than 24 hours before a scheduled session are eligible for a full refund. Cancellations within 24 hours are subject to the Trainer's individual cancellation policy as stated on their profile. Trybe handles refund disputes on a case-by-case basis and reserves the right to make final determinations on disputed transactions.
5.5 Chargebacks. If a Parent initiates a chargeback without first contacting Trybe support, Trybe reserves the right to suspend or terminate the Parent's account pending resolution.
6. User Conduct
- Post false, misleading, or fraudulent information on the Platform.
- Use the Platform to harass, threaten, or discriminate against any person.
- Circumvent the Platform by arranging direct payments with users met through Trybe to avoid Platform fees.
- Use Trybe for any illegal purpose, including violations of child protection laws.
- Scrape, copy, or reproduce Platform content without express written permission.
- Impersonate any person or entity.
Violation of these rules may result in immediate account termination and, where appropriate, referral to law enforcement.
7. Minor Athletes — Child Safety
7.1 Parental Consent. By booking a session for a minor athlete, the Parent or guardian represents that they have full legal authority to make decisions for that minor and consent to the training services.
7.2 COPPA Compliance. Trybe complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13. All account holders must be 18 or older.
7.3 Safe Training. Trainers agree to conduct all sessions in a safe, professional, and age-appropriate manner consistent with recognized youth sports best practices. Any report of unsafe, inappropriate, or abusive conduct toward a minor will result in immediate suspension pending investigation and may be reported to appropriate authorities.
8. Reviews and Content
8.1 Authenticity. Reviews submitted must reflect genuine first-hand experiences. Fake, incentivized, or retaliatory reviews are prohibited.
8.2 License. By submitting content (reviews, profile text, photos, video) to Trybe, you grant Trybe a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to display, reproduce, and promote that content in connection with the Platform.
8.3 Removal. Trybe reserves the right to remove any content that violates these Terms or that we deem inappropriate in our sole discretion.
9. Intellectual Property
The Trybe name, logo, platform design, and all associated content are owned by Trybe LLC and protected by U.S. copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not use our branding or content without prior written consent.
10. Disclaimers and Release of Liability
10.1 Platform Provided As-Is. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. TRYBE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.
10.2 No Liability for Trainer Conduct. TRYBE LLC, ITS PARENT COMPANIES, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, LICENSORS, AND SUCCESSORS (COLLECTIVELY, "TRYBE PARTIES") EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY ACT, OMISSION, NEGLIGENCE, MISCONDUCT, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION, INJURY, ILLNESS, DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR ANY OTHER HARM ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO: (A) THE ACTIONS OR INACTIONS OF ANY TRAINER; (B) THE CONTENT, QUALITY, SAFETY, OR LEGALITY OF ANY TRAINING SESSION; (C) A TRAINER'S QUALIFICATIONS, BACKGROUND, OR FITNESS TO WORK WITH MINORS; OR (D) ANY INTERACTION BETWEEN A PARENT, ATHLETE, OR TRAINER, WHETHER ON OR OFF THE PLATFORM.
10.3 Assumption of Risk — Parents Book at Their Own Risk. PARENTS AND GUARDIANS ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT BOOKING A TRAINER THROUGH THE TRYBE PLATFORM IS DONE ENTIRELY AT THEIR OWN RISK. YOUTH ATHLETIC TRAINING INVOLVES INHERENT PHYSICAL RISKS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO PHYSICAL INJURY, STRAIN, OVEREXERTION, ACCIDENT, OR ILLNESS. TRYBE PARTIES ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SUCH RISKS OR OUTCOMES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY ARE FORESEEABLE. BY PROCEEDING WITH A BOOKING, PARENTS VOLUNTARILY ASSUME ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THEIR CHILD'S PARTICIPATION IN ANY TRAINING SESSION ARRANGED THROUGH THE PLATFORM.
10.4 No Guarantee of Results. Trybe makes no representation or guarantee that any training session will produce any particular athletic result, performance improvement, college recruitment outcome, or other benefit for any athlete.
11. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TRYBE PARTIES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: PERSONAL INJURY; BODILY HARM; DEATH; PROPERTY DAMAGE OR LOSS; EMOTIONAL DISTRESS; LOSS OF REVENUE, PROFITS, GOODWILL, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES — ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH: (A) YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE PLATFORM; (B) ANY TRAINER'S SERVICES, CONDUCT, OR OMISSIONS; (C) ANY TRAINING SESSION BOOKED THROUGH THE PLATFORM; OR (D) ANY INTERACTION WITH ANOTHER USER, WHETHER ONLINE OR IN PERSON — EVEN IF TRYBE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TRYBE PARTIES SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM A TRAINER'S ACTIONS, NEGLIGENCE, MISCONDUCT, OR BREACH OF DUTY, AS TRAINERS ARE NOT EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS OF TRYBE.
In no event shall Trybe Parties' aggregate liability to you for any and all claims exceed the greater of: (a) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100.00) or (b) the total fees actually paid by you to Trybe in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim. This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory asserted (contract, tort, statute, or otherwise) and even if the limited remedy fails of its essential purpose.
12. Assumption of Risk and Release
12.1 Voluntary Participation. You acknowledge that participation in youth sports training involves inherent physical risk. You voluntarily assume all such risks on behalf of yourself and the minor athlete(s) for whom you are booking.
12.2 Full Release. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY FLORIDA LAW AND APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW, YOU HEREBY RELEASE, DISCHARGE, AND HOLD HARMLESS TRYBE LLC AND ALL TRYBE PARTIES FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, ACTIONS, CAUSES OF ACTION, LIABILITIES, DAMAGES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS' FEES) — WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, FORESEEN OR UNFORESEEN — ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO: (A) ANY TRAINING SESSION BOOKED THROUGH THE PLATFORM; (B) THE CONDUCT, ACTS, OR OMISSIONS OF ANY TRAINER; (C) ANY PHYSICAL INJURY, ILLNESS, OR HARM SUFFERED BY YOU OR ANY MINOR ATHLETE IN CONNECTION WITH A TRAINING SESSION; OR (D) YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM IN ANY CAPACITY.
12.3 Indemnification. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Trybe LLC and all Trybe Parties from and against any and all third-party claims, liabilities, damages, losses, settlements, judgments, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Platform; (b) your breach of these Terms; (c) any training session arranged through the Platform; (d) any injury, harm, or loss to any person or property in connection with a training session; (e) your misrepresentation of any information provided to Trybe or a Trainer; or (f) your violation of any applicable law or regulation.
13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Platform shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA), conducted in Palm Beach County, Florida. You waive the right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.
14. Modifications
Trybe reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by email or by posting a notice on the Platform. Continued use after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
15. Termination
Trybe may suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, for conduct that violates these Terms or that Trybe determines is harmful to the Platform, other users, or third parties. Upon termination, your right to use the Platform ceases immediately.
