Terms of Service

The plain-English version

LearnNearby is one channel for your work, not a fence around it. Teachers can list the same class anywhere else, keep their existing students, publish their own contact info, and leave any time with everything they brought. We earn the spot by being useful — not by locking anyone in.

The legal text below is the formal version of that promise, plus the standard terms that any platform needs. If anything below appears to contradict the spirit of this preamble, the spirit wins — write us at [email protected] and we'll fix it.

Welcome to LearnNearby. We're a hyperlocal marketplace based in the East Bay that connects local instructors with learners in their community. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of our website and services (together, the "Platform").

Please read these Terms carefully. By creating an account, booking a class, listing a class, or otherwise using the Platform, you agree to be bound by them. If you do not agree, please do not use the Platform.

1. Definitions

For clarity throughout these Terms:

• "LearnNearby," "we," "us," or "our" means LearnNearby, LLC, a California limited liability company.
• "Platform" means the LearnNearby website at learnnearby.com and related services.
• "User," "you," or "your" means anyone who accesses or uses the Platform, including Learners and Instructors.
• "Learner" means a User who books or attends Classes through the Platform.
• "Instructor" means a User who lists, offers, or teaches Classes through the Platform.
• "Class" means any course, workshop, lesson, drop-in, or other educational offering listed on the Platform.
• "Content" means any text, images, video, audio, listings, reviews, messages, or other material you submit to the Platform.
• "Booking" means a confirmed reservation by a Learner to attend a Class.

2. Eligibility and Accounts

2.1 Age requirements. You must be at least 18 years old to create an account on LearnNearby. Minors may not create accounts or book Classes independently. During our initial launch period, all Class participants must be 18 or older; bookings that include a participant under 18 are temporarily unavailable. We will update this Section only after LearnNearby has implemented and approved parent/guardian booking and consent, supervision, background-check, training, and counsel-review requirements for youth classes.

2.1.1 Parental consent for data collection involving minors. This Section is temporarily suspended during our initial launch period while minor-participant bookings are unavailable (see § 2.1). When minor-participant support launches, this Section will be in full effect: LearnNearby will collect certain personal information about minor child participants — including name, age, and any health or accommodation information provided by the booking parent or guardian — and share that information with the Instructor for the purpose of conducting the Class safely. The booking parent or guardian will provide verifiable parental consent to this data collection and sharing through a dedicated checkout consent screen, as further described in our Privacy Policy§ 8.

2.1.2 Instructor restrictions involving minor participants. Instructors are prohibited from photographing, video recording, or audio recording any minor participant without a separate, written, class-specific consent from that child's parent or legal guardian obtained before the recording occurs. This prohibition applies regardless of whether recording of adult participants is otherwise permitted. Violation is grounds for immediate suspension or removal under our Community Guidelines.

2.2 Account registration. To access certain features, you must register for an account. You agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information;
• Keep your account information up to date;
• Keep your password confidential and not share your account; and
• Notify us promptly at [email protected] if you believe your account has been compromised.

You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.

2.3 One account per person. Each individual may maintain only one account. We reserve the right to suspend or remove duplicate accounts.

2.4 Account closure. You may close your account at any time through your account settings or by contacting [email protected]. Some information may be retained as required by law or as described in our Privacy Policy.

3. Instructors: Independent Contractor Status

3.1 Independent contractor relationship. Instructors use the LearnNearby platform to offer and sell their independent teaching services directly to Learners. LearnNearby provides the platform and associated services; LearnNearby does not provide teaching services.

Instructors are also bound by the LearnNearby Instructor Agreement, which they accept during instructor onboarding before publishing paid Classes on the Platform.

The parties intend that Instructors are independent contractors, not employees, agents, partners, or joint venturers of LearnNearby. This intention is reflected in the following operating realities, which Instructors acknowledge as accurate:

• Control.LearnNearby does not direct, supervise, or control how Instructors teach, the content or curriculum of their Classes, the pace or method of instruction, or the materials they use. Instructors have complete discretion over the substance of their teaching. LearnNearby maintains platform rules — about conduct, safety, and listing accuracy — that apply uniformly to all marketplace participants; these are marketplace standards, not employer instructions about how to perform the work.
• Outside LearnNearby's usual business.LearnNearby's business is operating an online platform that connects Learners with independent instructors. LearnNearby does not itself offer Classes, teach subjects, or employ teachers to deliver instruction. Instructor services are performed outside LearnNearby's usual course of business.
• Freedom to work elsewhere. Instructors are free to offer their teaching services through any other platform, marketplace, or channel, and to teach privately, without restriction by LearnNearby. LearnNearby does not require exclusivity, minimum hours, minimum bookings, or availability on any particular schedule. Instructors are encouraged to maintain an independent teaching practice.
• Own business. Instructors operate their own teaching businesses. They set their own prices on the platform (subject to platform minimums established for payment processing purposes), determine the subject matter and format of their Classes, provide their own materials and equipment, and are responsible for their own taxes, licenses, and professional obligations.

Nothing in these Terms or on the Platform is intended to create an employment relationship. If any applicable law requires a different classification based on the actual facts of a particular Instructor's relationship with LearnNearby, that classification governs only the specific rights conferred by that law and does not alter the parties' intent or the structure of the relationship as described above.

3.2 Instructor autonomy. Without limiting the foregoing, Instructors:

• Set their own Class topics, schedules, locations, prices, and cancellation policies (subject to the platform refund floor in § 5.1);
• Determine their own teaching methods, materials, and curriculum;
• Are free to offer their services through other platforms or directly to clients;
• Use their own equipment and supplies, except where LearnNearby specifically provides them; and
• Have no fixed hours and are not required to accept any minimum number of Bookings.

3.3 Taxes and licensing. Because Instructors are independent contractors:

• LearnNearby does not withhold federal or state income taxes, Social Security, Medicare, or any other payroll taxes from Instructor payments. Instructors are solely responsible for reporting and paying all applicable taxes on their earnings;
• Instructors are responsible for obtaining any licenses, permits, certifications, or insurance required for their Classes; and
• Instructors are responsible for complying with all local, state, and federal laws governing their services.

LearnNearby will issue IRS Form 1099-NEC (or the then-current applicable form) to Instructors whose annual platform earnings meet applicable reporting thresholds and may collect taxpayer information for that purpose. Instructors who regularly seek to work with minors, or who teach in jurisdictions that require it, are responsible for obtaining any required professional licenses, background clearances, or certifications independently. LearnNearby will not permit classes involving participants under 18 to publish until the platform youth-safety gate, including applicable background-check and training requirements, is complete.

3.4 No benefits.Instructors are not entitled to employee benefits, including health insurance, paid leave, workers' compensation, unemployment insurance, or retirement contributions, from LearnNearby.

4. Bookings and Payments

4.1 LearnNearby is not a party to the Class agreement.LearnNearby provides a platform that connects Learners and Instructors. We are not a party to the agreement between any Learner and Instructor for the provision of a Class. We do not provide instruction ourselves. LearnNearby acts as a payment intermediary between Learners and Instructors — collecting payments from Learners on behalf of Instructors and remitting them, after deducting applicable fees, via our payment processor.

4.2 Payment processing.Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. (“Stripe”) using the Stripe Connect platform. By making payments or receiving payouts through the Platform, you agree to Stripe's Services Agreement and, for Instructors, the Stripe Connected Account Agreement. LearnNearby does not store full payment card information; payment card data is collected and handled directly by Stripe.

4.3 Service fees.LearnNearby charges a service fee on Bookings, which is disclosed at the time of booking. Instructors receive payouts of Class fees minus the LearnNearby service fee and any payment processing fees. Payouts are typically processed within 2–7 business days after the Class occurs, subject to Stripe's payout schedule, any applicable review holds, and the Instructor's connected account standing. Current fee schedules are available on our website and may be updated from time to time.

4.4 Taxes on Class fees. Where LearnNearby is required to act as a marketplace facilitator under applicable law, we will collect and remit applicable transaction taxes. Otherwise, Instructors are responsible for collecting and remitting any required taxes on the services they provide.

4.5 Chargebacks and disputes. If a Learner disputes a charge with their card issuer or bank, LearnNearby may withhold or reverse the corresponding Instructor payout pending resolution.

5. Cancellations and Refunds

5.1 Platform refund floor.LearnNearby maintains a minimum cancellation and refund standard that applies to all Classes booked on the Platform, regardless of any Instructor's stated policy. Instructors may offer a more generous cancellation policy than this floor, but may not offer a stricter one. A stricter Instructor policy has no effect and the platform floor governs.

The current platform cancellation floor is:

LearnNearby reserves the right to update the platform floor with thirty (30) days' notice posted to the Platform. Changes do not apply retroactively to bookings made before the effective date.

5.2 Instructor cancellations. If an Instructor cancels a Class for any reason, Learners are entitled to a full refund of the Class fee paid through the Platform, processed automatically. LearnNearby may also, at its discretion, offer a courtesy account credit on top of the refund as a goodwill gesture; the refund is guaranteed regardless of whether such a credit is offered.

5.3 Extenuating circumstances. LearnNearby may issue refunds outside of the platform floor in extenuating circumstances, including, but not limited to:

• Documented serious illness or injury affecting the Learner or an immediate family member;
• A death in the Learner's immediate family;
• Natural disasters, severe weather, or other acts of God preventing safe travel to the Class;
• Government-issued travel restrictions or shelter-in-place orders affecting the Class location; or
• Significant misrepresentation by the Instructor regarding the Class.

Requests must be submitted to [email protected]within fourteen (14) days of the affected Class with supporting documentation. LearnNearby's determination on extenuating circumstances refunds is final.

5.4 Quality issues — platform guarantee. If you experience a significant quality issue with a Class, you may request a full or partial refund by contacting [email protected]within forty-eight (48) hours of the Class end time. A "significant quality issue" means one or more of the following actually occurred:

• The Instructor did not appear and the Class was not held;
• The Class was held at a materially different location than advertised, without reasonable advance notice to enrolled Learners;
• The Class content was materially and substantially different from the published description in a way that would have affected a reasonable Learner's decision to book; or
• The venue conditions created a documented health or safety risk that caused Learners to leave before the Class ended.

"Significant quality issue" does not include differences in teaching style, pace, or approach that fall within the reasonable range for the subject matter, or dissatisfaction with the Learner's own performance. LearnNearby will review quality-issue requests and issue full or partial refunds at its reasonable discretion. Submission of a request does not guarantee a refund. LearnNearby may request supporting documentation (e.g., photos, timestamps, communications with the Instructor). This Section reflects a platform commitment — it is not an Instructor obligation, and a Learner's recourse under this Section is solely against LearnNearby, not the Instructor individually.

5.5 No-shows. Learners who do not attend a booked Class without providing notice in accordance with the platform floor (and any more generous Instructor policy) are generally not eligible for refunds.

6. Content and Licenses

6.1 Your Content. You retain ownership of all Content you submit to the Platform.

6.2 License to LearnNearby. By submitting Content, you grant LearnNearby a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, modify (for formatting and display purposes), publicly display, publicly perform, and distribute your Content solely for the purpose of operating, promoting, and improving the Platform. This license terminates when you remove your Content, except (a) to the extent the Content has been shared with others who have not removed it, and (b) for backup copies retained for a reasonable period.

6.3 Reviews and feedback.Reviews submitted by Learners about Classes and Instructors may be displayed publicly on the Platform. Reviews must be honest and based on the Learner's actual experience.

6.4 Your representations. You represent and warrant that:

• You own or have the necessary rights to submit your Content;
• Your Content does not infringe any third party's intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights; and
• Your Content complies with these Terms and applicable law.

6.5 Removal. We may remove Content that we believe, in our reasonable judgment, violates these Terms or applicable law, or that is the subject of a valid takedown notice.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Platform for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any law;
• Post Content that is illegal, threatening, harassing, defamatory, obscene, or that promotes discrimination or violence;
• Impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity;
• Collect or harvest personal information about other Users without their consent;
• Circumvent the Platform to arrange or pay for Classes outside of it after initially connecting through the Platform — this both undermines the marketplace and removes important protections for both Learners and Instructors;
• Interfere with or disrupt the Platform, including by introducing viruses, scraping data, or attempting unauthorized access;
• Use automated means (bots, scrapers, etc.) to access the Platform except as expressly permitted in writing;
• Use the Platform to send spam or unsolicited communications;
• List Classes that involve illegal activities, regulated activities you are not licensed to provide (such as medical, legal, or financial advice without proper credentials), or activities that pose unreasonable risk to participants; or
• Engage in any activity that would expose minors to inappropriate content or contact.

We reserve the right to investigate and take appropriate action against any User who, in our reasonable judgment, violates this section.

8. Safety, Background Checks, and In-Person Classes

8.1 In-person classes. Many LearnNearby Classes take place in person at locations chosen by the Instructor. You acknowledge that participation in any in-person Class involves inherent risks, including risks related to physical activity, travel, the Class location, and interaction with other participants. You participate at your own risk.

8.2 Background checks and youth-class gate. LearnNearby does not currently perform general background checks, identity verification, or credential verification on adult-only Instructors or Learners. Classes involving participants under 18 are not publishable unless the host background-check, child-safety training, parent/guardian consent, supervision, counsel-review, and admin approval requirements are complete. Users are encouraged to:

• Review Instructor profiles, ratings, and reviews;
• Communicate with Instructors before booking;
• Meet in well-trafficked or otherwise safe locations when appropriate; and
• Not book for anyone under 18 until youth classes are enabled.

8.3 Reporting safety concerns. If you experience or witness unsafe, illegal, or inappropriate behavior on the Platform, please report it immediately to [email protected] and, where appropriate, to local law enforcement.

8.4 Insurance. Instructors are encouraged to maintain appropriate liability insurance for their Classes. LearnNearby does not provide insurance coverage for Instructors or Learners.

9. Intellectual Property

9.1 Our IP. The LearnNearby name, logo, website design, and underlying software are owned by LearnNearby, LLC and protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. You may not use them without our prior written permission.

9.2 Copyright infringement (DMCA).We respect intellectual property rights and respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA").

If you believe Content on the Platform infringes your copyright, please send a notice to our designated agent containing:

1. Your physical or electronic signature;
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed;
3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and its location on the Platform (e.g., URL);
4. Your contact information (address, telephone number, email);
5. A statement of good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized; and
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Send notices to our DMCA agent at [email protected].

We will respond to valid notices in accordance with the DMCA, which may include removing the Content and notifying the User who posted it. Counter-notice procedures are available to Users whose Content has been removed. Users who repeatedly infringe will have their accounts terminated.

10. Privacy

Your privacy matters to us. Our Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share information about you, including the rights of California residents under the California Consumer Privacy Act and California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA). The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

If you use other services operated by LearnNearby LLC (or its legal successor by rename) — whether now or in the future — your account information and usage data may be shared across those services as described in our Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy governs how LearnNearby LLC handles your information across all brands it operates. You may review and update your data-sharing preferences at any time through your account settings.

11. Termination and Suspension

11.1 By you. You may stop using the Platform and close your account at any time.

11.2 By LearnNearby. We may suspend or terminate your account, or restrict your access to the Platform, at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe that:

• You have violated these Terms or applicable law;
• Your conduct poses a risk to other Users or to LearnNearby; or
• Continued service is inconsistent with our legal or regulatory obligations.

Where practical and lawful, we will provide notice and an opportunity to cure for non-serious violations.

11.3 Effect of termination.Upon termination, your right to use the Platform ends. Provisions that by their nature should survive — including ownership, license grants for Content already shared, disclaimers, indemnification, limitations of liability, and dispute resolution — will survive.

11.4 Outstanding bookings. If your account is terminated, we will work in good faith to honor or refund existing Bookings as appropriate.

12. Disclaimers

12.1 As-is.THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LEARNNEARBY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

12.2 No guarantees about Classes or Users. We do not endorse any Instructor or Learner and do not guarantee:

• The quality, safety, accuracy, or legality of any Class;
• The truth or accuracy of User Content, listings, or reviews;
• The identity, qualifications, credentials, or background of any User; or
• That Classes will meet your expectations.

12.3 Availability. We do not guarantee that the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.

13. Limitation of Liability

13.1 Excluded damages. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LEARNNEARBY AND ITS OFFICERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUES, DATA, GOODWILL, OR USE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE PLATFORM OR THESE TERMS, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

13.2 Liability cap. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE PLATFORM OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO LEARNNEARBY IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

13.3 Carve-outs.Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under California law, including liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, or personal injury caused by LearnNearby's own conduct. California Civil Code § 1668 applies.

13.4 Basis of the bargain. The disclaimers and limitations in these Terms are an essential basis of the bargain between you and LearnNearby.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless LearnNearby and its officers, members, employees, and agents from and against any claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:

• Your use of the Platform;
• Your Content;
• Your Classes (whether as Instructor or Learner);
• Your violation of these Terms; or
• Your violation of any law or third-party right.

We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense of any matter subject to indemnification, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense.

15. Dispute Resolution

15.1 Informal resolution first. We want to resolve disputes quickly and fairly. Before filing any formal claim, please contact us at [email protected]with a description of the issue. We'll work in good faith to resolve it within sixty (60) days.

15.2 Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws provisions.

15.3 Binding arbitration.Except for the carve-outs in Sections 15.4, 15.6, and 15.7, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform that cannot be resolved through the informal process in Section 15.1 will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with JAMS' Streamlined Arbitration Rules ("JAMS Rules"), as modified by this Section 15.3. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Fees.For consumer claims, LearnNearby will pay all JAMS administrative and arbitration fees unless the arbitrator determines the claim is frivolous or brought in bad faith. Each party bears its own attorneys' fees unless applicable law or the JAMS Rules provide otherwise.

Location. Arbitration will be conducted remotely by video or telephone unless both parties agree otherwise or the arbitrator determines an in-person hearing is necessary, in which case it will be held in Alameda County, California.

Mass arbitration protocol.If 25 or more similar demands for arbitration are filed against LearnNearby by the same or coordinated counsel within a 90-day period, JAMS may, at its discretion, apply any applicable JAMS mass arbitration procedures. In that event: (a) the first ten (10) cases proceed as bellwether arbitrations to resolution; (b) the remaining cases are stayed pending the outcome of the bellwether cases; and (c) the parties will meet and confer in good faith to discuss streamlined resolution of the remaining cases following the bellwether outcomes. This provision does not limit any individual's substantive rights. If JAMS declines to administer the mass arbitration, the parties shall mutually select an alternative administrator or, absent agreement, a court of competent jurisdiction may appoint one.

Arbitrator authority. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve disputes about the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this arbitration agreement, except that a court of competent jurisdiction retains authority to decide whether the class action waiver below is enforceable.

Class action waiver.To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and LearnNearby each agree to bring any covered dispute only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding. If this class action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim must be severed from arbitration and litigated in court; all remaining claims continue in arbitration.

15.4 Small claims court. Either party may elect to resolve an individual dispute in small claims court instead of arbitration, provided the dispute qualifies for small claims court jurisdiction under applicable law. You may bring your small claims action in (a) Alameda County, California, or (b) the small claims court in the county where you reside at the time you file your claim, whichever you prefer. LearnNearby may not remove a properly filed small claims action to arbitration. This election must be made before the arbitrator is appointed; once an arbitrator is appointed, the parties may not elect small claims court for that dispute.

15.5 30-day opt-out. You may opt out of the arbitration provision in Section 15.3 by sending written notice to [email protected] within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. Opting out will not affect any other provision of these Terms.

15.6 Public injunctive relief.Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 15, any claim seeking public injunctive relief — meaning injunctive relief that would benefit the general public rather than solely the claimant — may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction and is not subject to arbitration under Section 15.3 or the class action waiver in Section 15.3. The parties agree to stay any arbitration of related individual claims pending the resolution of the public injunctive relief claim in court, unless the court orders otherwise.

15.7 Intellectual property and venue for non-arbitrated claims. Either party may bring actions seeking injunctive or equitable relief for intellectual property infringement in court rather than arbitration. Any claims not subject to arbitration (and not brought in small claims court under Section 15.4 or for public injunctive relief under Section 15.6) will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Alameda County, California, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time as our Platform and legal requirements evolve. When we make material changes, we will:

• Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of these Terms; and
• Notify you by email (to the address associated with your account) and/or through a prominent notice on the Platform at least fourteen (14) days before the changes take effect, where practical.

Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, please stop using the Platform and close your account.

17. General

17.1 Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other policies referenced here, constitute the entire agreement between you and LearnNearby regarding the Platform, and supersede any prior agreements.

17.2 Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect, and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.

17.3 No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.

17.4 Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or by operation of law.

17.5 Force majeure. Neither party is liable for failure or delay caused by events beyond reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, or government action.

17.6 Notices. We may send you notices by email, in-app messaging, or by posting on the Platform. You may send us notices to the contact addresses listed in these Terms.

17.7 Electronic communications. You consent to receive communications from us electronically, and you agree that electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

17.8 Relationship of parties. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship between you and LearnNearby beyond what is expressly stated.

17.9 Operating entity, affiliated brands, and entity rename.The Platform is operated by LearnNearby LLC ("LearnNearby LLC"), a California limited liability company. LearnNearby is the consumer-facing brand of LearnNearby LLC. LearnNearby LLC may operate additional consumer-facing brands and services — including, without limitation, ClubsNearby and SpacesNearby — as registered DBAs under the same legal entity and technology infrastructure. Each brand may have its own terms of service, but all brands are owned and operated by LearnNearby LLC (or its legal successor by rename). References to "LearnNearby," "we," "us," and "our" in these Terms refer to LearnNearby LLC in its capacity as operator of the LearnNearby platform.

LearnNearby LLC may in the future change its legal name (for example, to reflect an umbrella brand identity). Any such rename of the legal entity does not alter these Terms, your rights under them, or any obligations owed to you. We will notify you of a legal name change by updating this section and posting a notice on the Site.

17.10 Future services.We may offer additional platforms, services, or features that are operated under different brand names (each, a "Related Service"). These Terms govern your use of the LearnNearby Platform. Use of any Related Service is governed by the terms of service applicable to that Related Service, which may differ from these Terms. If you create an account on a Related Service operated by LearnNearby LLC (or its legal successor by rename), you may be presented with the option to link or share your account information across Related Services; any such sharing will be disclosed and subject to your consent as required by applicable law and our Privacy Policy.

17.11 Relationship to other LearnNearby LLC terms. If you use both the LearnNearby Platform and any other platform or service operated by LearnNearby LLC (including any DBA brands such as ClubsNearby or SpacesNearby, or any successor brands after a legal entity rename), and a conflict exists between the terms applicable to each service, the terms specific to the service giving rise to the dispute will control.
