Specialist Agreement

1. Independent contractor, not an employee

You provide coaching sessions as an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment, partnership, joint-venture or agency relationship between you and Boostera Labs Ltd. You are responsible for your own tax, social-security and business-registration obligations in your own country, and for determining your own availability and how you deliver a session within our acceptable-use rules.

2. Application, review and approval

Applying does not guarantee approval. We personally review every application, including any photo ID or proof-of-address document you choose to upload, before approving you for paid sessions. We may decline an application, or later suspend or remove an approved specialist, at our reasonable discretion — including for member complaints, safety concerns, or providing false information in your application.

Documents you upload for review are used only to assess your application and to meet our own trust-and-safety and payout-compliance checks; they are handled under our Privacy Policy and are not shared other than as described there.

3. How sessions are booked and paid for

Members book and pay for 1:1 sessions with you using their Suave credit balance. The credits a member spends on your session are not automatically the same as your payout — see "How you get paid" below for how your earnings are actually calculated and released.

4. How you get paid

Today, payouts are manual: from your specialist dashboard you submit a payout request for the amount you believe you have earned, we review it against the sessions you delivered, and — once approved — we send the payout to you out-of-band (for example by bank transfer) using the payout details you provide. There is currently no automatic per-session payout and no live earnings ledger inside the product; you are responsible for keeping your own record of sessions delivered to support your request.

Payout requests are currently handled in US dollars (USD), which may differ from the currency members are charged in (euros). We will tell you before this changes if we move to an automatic or differently-denominated payout method.

We aim to review and action a payout request within a reasonable time and will tell you if we need more information or if we dispute the amount requested.

5. Unspent balance on termination

If your specialist status ends — whether you stop, we remove you, or the specialist network is discontinued — you may still submit a payout request for sessions you had already delivered before the change, provided you do so within 90 days. We do not withhold earnings you have genuinely earned just because your specialist status has ended, but we may hold a payout during an open dispute, safety investigation, or suspected fraud.

6. Content, feedback and intellectual property

Session content you create while coaching (your own techniques, scripts, and the live advice you give) remains yours. You grant Boostera Labs Ltd a licence to record, store and use session content as needed to operate the service — for example for the member's own history, for safety review, and to handle disputes — for as long as necessary for those purposes. You must not use anything a member shares with you, or the fact that you coached them, outside the platform without their consent.

7. Professional-liability disclaimer

Coaching on Suave is dating and social-confidence coaching, not licensed therapy, counselling, psychology, or medical treatment, and you must not represent it as such regardless of any professional qualification you separately hold. You are responsible for staying within the coaching scope described in your application and for referring a member to appropriate professional help if a session raises a mental-health, safety or medical concern beyond that scope.

8. Conduct and safety

You must treat members respectfully, keep sessions on the coaching topics you were approved for, and never solicit a member to pay you outside the platform, meet in person for anything unrelated to the coaching relationship, or share contact details for the purpose of avoiding our fees. We may suspend or remove you immediately for a safety violation.

9. Confidentiality

Anything a member tells you in a session is confidential to that coaching relationship. Don't discuss an identifiable member's session with anyone outside the platform, except where we ask you to as part of a safety or dispute review, or where the law requires disclosure.

10. Ending this Agreement

Either you or Boostera Labs Ltd may end your participation in the specialist network at any time, for any reason, on reasonable notice where practical (immediate for a safety or trust-and-safety issue). Ending this Agreement does not cancel the general Terms of Service, which continue to apply to your account as a member.

11. Changes to this Agreement

We may update this Agreement as the specialist network evolves; we will take reasonable steps to tell active specialists of a material change. Continuing to take bookings after an update means you accept the revised Agreement.
