The commission covers platform infrastructure, payment processing, fraud prevention, customer support, marketing, and operational costs. Commission is calculated on the gross Transaction amount before any applicable taxes or fees.

9.2 Client-Hosted Community Events Approval Requirement. Registered Clients may propose Community Events through the Platform. All Community Event proposals are subject to BESA Coaching's prior written approval before publication. BESA Coaching reserves the right to approve, reject, or request modifications to any Community Event proposal at its sole discretion. Approval does not constitute BESA Coaching's endorsement of the event content, the host, or any representations made in the event listing. The 20% commission rate applies to all approved Community Events.

9.3 Payment Processing. All payments are processed through Stripe, Inc., our third-party payment processor. By using the Platform, you agree to Stripe's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. BESA Coaching does not store full payment card numbers or sensitive cardholder data. Payment card information is tokenized and managed exclusively by Stripe.

9.4 Disbursement Schedule. BESA Coaching uses Stripe Connect to facilitate automated payouts. The disbursement schedule varies by transaction type as follows:

No third-party disbursement is made. There is no payout period applicable BESA Coaching retains 100% of all revenue from admin-posted content immediately upon payment confirmation.

All payouts to coaches and client hosts are contingent on the recipient having completed Stripe Connect onboarding with charges and payouts enabled on their connected account. If a recipient has not completed Stripe onboarding at the time of payment, funds will be held by BESA Coaching and disbursed manually upon completion of onboarding. BESA Coaching reserves the right to modify the disbursement schedule with at least 30 days' advance written notice.

9.9 Banking Information. BESA Coaching maintains its primary operating and disbursement accounts with Bank of America, N.A.

9.7 Commission Rate Changes. BESA Coaching reserves the right to modify commission rates with at least 60 days' advance written notice to affected hosts. Continued use of the Platform after a commission rate change constitutes acceptance of the new rate.

9.8 Currency. All Transactions on the Platform are conducted in U.S. Dollars (USD) unless otherwise specified. International users are responsible for any currency conversion fees charged by their payment provider.

9A. Tax Compliance & IRS Reporting

TAX FORM REQUIREMENT FOR ALL COACHES: All Coaches must submit a valid IRS Form W-9 (U.S. residents) or IRS Form W-8BEN / W-8BEN-E (non-U.S. residents) before receiving payouts. Failure to submit a valid tax form will result in payment holds and, once cumulative earnings reach the IRS $600 reporting threshold, mandatory 24% backup withholding on all subsequent payouts.

9A.1 Tax Form Submission Requirement. As a condition of receiving disbursements through the Platform, all Coaches must submit a valid tax form through the Platform's secure tax compliance portal:

  • U.S. Residents (IRS Form W-9): Coaches who are U.S. citizens, U.S. resident aliens, or U.S.-organized entities must submit a completed and signed IRS Form W-9 providing their legal name, address, taxpayer identification number (TIN — either a Social Security Number or Employer Identification Number), and certification that the TIN is correct and that they are not subject to backup withholding.
  • Non-U.S. Residents (IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E): Coaches who are non-U.S. individuals must submit a completed IRS Form W-8BEN. Non-U.S. entities must submit IRS Form W-8BEN-E. These forms certify foreign status and, where applicable, claim treaty benefits that may reduce or eliminate U.S. withholding tax. W-8 forms expire after three calendar years and must be renewed.
  • Submission Deadline: Tax forms must be submitted before the Coach's first payout or, for existing Coaches, within 30 days of this policy's effective date. Coaches who have not submitted a valid tax form will have payouts held until the form is received and approved by BESA Coaching's compliance team.
  • Form Review: BESA Coaching will review submitted forms within 5 business days. Coaches will be notified by email of approval or rejection. Rejected forms must be corrected and resubmitted within 14 days.

9A.2 IRS $600 Reporting Threshold & 1099-NEC Issuance. BESA Coaching is required by U.S. federal law to report payments to independent contractors. The following rules apply:

  • $600 Annual Threshold: If a Coach's cumulative earnings through the Platform in a calendar year reach or exceed $600 USD, BESA Coaching is required to file IRS Form 1099-NEC (Nonemployee Compensation) with the Internal Revenue Service and provide a copy to the Coach by January 31 of the following year.
  • Threshold Monitoring: BESA Coaching tracks each Coach's year-to-date earnings. When a Coach's earnings approach $500, BESA Coaching will send an email alert reminding the Coach to ensure their tax form is on file and approved. When earnings reach $600 without an approved tax form, backup withholding will be applied immediately.
  • 1099-NEC Delivery: IRS Form 1099-NEC will be made available for secure download through the Coach's dashboard by January 31 of the year following the tax year in which the earnings were received. Coaches are responsible for ensuring their mailing address and TIN on file are accurate.
  • Corrections: If a Coach believes their 1099-NEC contains an error, they must notify BESA Coaching at [email protected] by February 15 of the filing year. BESA Coaching will issue a corrected 1099-NEC if the error is confirmed.
  • Sub-$600 Earnings: Coaches who earn less than $600 in a calendar year will not receive a 1099-NEC from BESA Coaching. However, all income — regardless of whether a 1099-NEC is issued — is taxable and must be reported by the Coach on their own tax return.

9A.3 Backup Withholding (24%). Under U.S. federal law (IRC § 3406), BESA Coaching is required to apply 24% backup withholding on payments to Coaches in the following circumstances:

  • Missing TIN: The Coach has not provided a valid taxpayer identification number (TIN) on a W-9 or W-8 form, and cumulative earnings have reached or exceeded $600 in the calendar year.
  • IRS Notification: The IRS notifies BESA Coaching that the TIN provided by the Coach is incorrect or does not match IRS records.
  • Failure to Certify: The Coach fails to certify on Form W-9 that they are not subject to backup withholding, and the IRS has notified BESA Coaching to begin withholding.
  • Rejected or Expired Forms: A previously submitted tax form has been rejected by BESA Coaching's compliance team or has expired (W-8 forms expire after three calendar years) and a replacement has not been submitted.

When backup withholding applies, BESA Coaching will deduct 24% from each payout and remit the withheld amount to the IRS on the Coach's behalf. Withheld amounts are reported on IRS Form 945 (Annual Return of Withheld Federal Income Tax). Coaches may be able to claim a credit for withheld amounts on their annual federal income tax return. BESA Coaching will provide documentation of amounts withheld upon request. Backup withholding is not a penalty — it is a tax prepayment mechanism required by federal law.

9A.4 International Coach Tax Obligations. Coaches who are not U.S. tax residents have the following additional obligations:

  • W-8 Form Accuracy: Non-U.S. Coaches are responsible for accurately completing their W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E form, including correctly claiming any applicable tax treaty benefits. Incorrect treaty claims may result in under-withholding, for which the Coach bears sole responsibility.
  • U.S. Withholding Tax: Payments to non-U.S. Coaches for services performed in the United States may be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30% (or a lower treaty rate if applicable and properly claimed on a W-8 form). BESA Coaching will apply the applicable withholding rate based on the information provided on the Coach's W-8 form.
  • Local Tax Obligations: Non-U.S. Coaches are solely responsible for complying with all tax laws in their country of residence, including income tax, VAT/GST, and any other applicable taxes on income earned through the Platform. BESA Coaching does not provide tax advice for non-U.S. jurisdictions.
  • VAT/GST on Platform Fees: In certain jurisdictions, the Platform's commission may be subject to VAT, GST, or similar indirect taxes. Where applicable, BESA Coaching will include such taxes in the commission calculation or issue a separate invoice. Coaches in VAT/GST-registered jurisdictions are responsible for determining whether they must charge VAT/GST to their Clients on coaching fees.
  • Permanent Establishment Risk: Coaches are responsible for ensuring that their use of the Platform does not create a taxable permanent establishment or similar tax nexus in the United States or any other jurisdiction. BESA Coaching makes no representations regarding the tax treatment of coaching income in any jurisdiction.

9A.5 Payment Eligibility Gate. A Coach's payment eligibility status is determined by their tax compliance status as follows:

  • Eligible: The Coach has submitted a valid, approved tax form (W-9 or W-8). Payouts proceed normally per the disbursement schedule in Section 9.4.
  • Blocked (Pre-$600): The Coach has not submitted a tax form, but cumulative earnings are below $600. Payouts are held until a valid tax form is submitted and approved. No withholding is applied.
  • 24% Withholding Active: The Coach has not submitted a valid tax form and cumulative earnings have reached or exceeded $600, or the IRS has directed backup withholding. 24% is deducted from each payout and remitted to the IRS. The remaining 76% is disbursed to the Coach.

9A.6 Record-Keeping. BESA Coaching retains all tax-related records, including submitted W-9/W-8 forms, withholding transaction records, and 1099-NEC filings, for a minimum of seven (7) years from the end of the relevant tax year, in compliance with IRS record-keeping requirements. Tax documents submitted by Coaches are stored in encrypted form and accessible only to authorized BESA Coaching compliance personnel.

9A.7 No Tax Advice. Nothing in this Section or elsewhere in these Terms constitutes tax, legal, or financial advice. BESA Coaching strongly recommends that all Coaches — particularly those operating internationally or earning significant income through the Platform — consult a qualified tax professional regarding their specific obligations. BESA Coaching's tax compliance obligations are limited to those imposed on it as a U.S.-based payment platform under applicable U.S. federal law.

10. Event Tickets All Sales Final & Non-Refundable

ALL EVENT TICKET SALES ARE FINAL. TICKETS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE AND NON-TRANSFERABLE AFTER PURCHASE. By completing a ticket purchase, you expressly acknowledge and agree to this no-refund policy.

If a purchaser cannot attend the rescheduled date, they may request a credit toward a future BESA Coaching event at BESA Coaching's sole discretion this is not guaranteed.

10.6 Significantly Modified Events. If an Event is materially changed (e.g., format changed from in-person to virtual, duration reduced by more than 50%, or primary speaker/host changed), BESA Coaching will notify ticket holders and, at its sole discretion, may offer a partial credit or refund. This determination is made by BESA Coaching on a case-by-case basis and does not constitute a general refund right.

10.7 Technical Issues. BESA Coaching is not responsible for a purchaser's inability to access a virtual event due to the purchaser's own technical issues, internet connectivity, device compatibility, or software configuration. No refunds will be issued for such circumstances. If a platform-wide technical failure prevents access to a virtual event, BESA Coaching will work with the host to reschedule or provide a recording.

10.8 Ticket Resale Prohibited. Resale or transfer of tickets for commercial gain is prohibited without BESA Coaching's prior written consent. Tickets obtained through unauthorized resale may be cancelled without refund.

11A. Global Consumer Rights — Events & Programs

This section summarises the key jurisdiction-specific rights that apply to event ticket and program purchases. Full details are set out in our standalone Event Ticket Sale Policy and Online Program & Course Sale Policy.

11A.1 EU / EEA / UK Consumers.

  • Event Tickets: The 14-day right of withdrawal under the EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU) and UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 does not apply to event tickets for specific scheduled events (Article 16(l) exception for leisure services). Cancelled events entitle you to a full refund of the ticket face value within 14 days.
  • Programs — Live Services: The 14-day right of withdrawal applies to program purchases. You may cancel within 14 days of purchase. If you request immediate commencement of the service and the service is fully performed within the withdrawal period, you lose the right of withdrawal.

If informal resolution fails after 30 days, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Platform, or any services obtained through it including questions about the validity, enforceability, or scope of this arbitration agreement shall be resolved exclusively by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (available at www.adr.org), rather than in any court.
