3.5 Dabble Payments to Teachers. All classes listed, paid, and processed through dabble.co are subject to processing fees. Dabble charges a minimum 10% processing and admin fee for each “ticket” (registered and paid class participant) sold on the Dabble Platform. Teachers may choose how to split up the remaining 90% of the ticket cost between the Teacher (the “Teacher Cut”) and Dabble's marketing efforts (the “Marketing Fee”) for each schedule (individual class date). The “Teacher Cut” and “Marketing Fee” may be modified by the Teacher until the time the first ticket is sold for a given schedule. Qualified non-profit organizations that have submitted proof of their 501c3 status may qualify for a minimum 5% Dabble Admin Fee split at our discretion. It is always free to list free events.

Teacher Cut (X%) = Total Ticket Cost (100%) - Dabble Admin Fee (10% minimum) - Dabble Marketing Fee (X%), if any

Total Schedule Payment = Ticket Cost * Number Tickets Sold * Teacher Cut (X%)

Dabble will credit the Teacher’s payment account for an individual schedule with a net revenue based on the “Teacher Cut” at the time of payment. The total ticket cost includes all materials fees. Once the Teacher’s Dabble Class is complete and within a reasonable time, Dabble will send Total Schedule Payment to the payment account of the Teacher’s choice. It is the Teacher’s responsibility to ensure that their Payment account can receive incoming payments.

3.6 Dabble Payment Processing. Dabble uses Braintree, a division of PayPal, Inc. (Braintree) for payment processing services. By using the Braintree payment processing services teachers agree to the Braintree Payment Services Agreement available at https://www.braintreepayments.com/legal/gateway-agreement, and the applicable bank agreements available at https://www.braintreepayments.com/legal/bank-agreement

3.7 Private Event Requests. By listing your event on Dabble, with or without an active schedule, you agree to allow members of Dabble to message you directly and request private events in the interest of building more business for both your own listing as well as to increase commerce on the Dabble platform. As such, all requests for private events that originate from the Dabble platform must be ticketed using the Dabble payment and registration tools on the platform. Listing on the platform provides protection and insurance for all parties that does not exist for events not ticketed on the site. Furthermore, not listing a private event secured from a Dabble lead is grounds for suspension and/or removal from listing and marketing your events on the Dabble platform.

6. Dabble Experiences
 

6.1 Dabble Experiences Through Our Platform we provide tools that enable our users to arrange physical meetings (a “Dabble Class”) at venues that include, but are not limited to, public parks, private homes or private enterprises (such as coffee shops or retail stores). We do not supervise these Dabble Classes and are not involved in any way with the actions of any individuals at these Dabble Classes. As a result, we have no control over the identity, actions or omissions, whether negligent, grossly negligent, reckless, or intentional, of the individuals who are present at these Dabble Classes, and we request that our users exercise caution and good judgment when attending these Dabble Classes.

6.2 Release. Because we do not supervise or control the Dabble Classes or interactions among or between members of Dabble Classes and other persons or companies, and because we do not conduct background checks, whether criminal or otherwise, on Teachers or Hosts, and because we are not involved in any way with physical transportation to or from Dabble Classes or with the actions of any individuals at Dabble Classes, and because we do not control Amazon.com, PayPal, credit card companies or other payment processing companies, and because we cannot guarantee the true identity, age, 3.3(b) (Dabble Class Fees), nationality of Platform users, and because we have very limited control, if any, over the quality, safety, morality, legality, truthfulness or accuracy of various aspects of the Platform you agree that you bear all risk and you agree to release us (and our officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees, affiliates, subsidiaries, and third party partners) and Teachers or Hosts and their designees from claims, demands, and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, now and in the future, arising out of or in any way connected with your use of the Platform, your Third Party Transactions, our resolution of any disputes among users, and/or your transportation to or from, attendance at, or the actions of you or other persons at, a Dabble Class. You further waive any and all rights and benefits otherwise conferred by any statutory or non-statutory law of any jurisdiction, including Illinois, that would purport to limit the scope of a release or waiver.

6.3 Dabble Event Listing. By listing an event on Dabble, Teachers assume full responsibility for the content of the Event offered. Event hosts understand that all content, images, and venues are publicly available to be viewed, acted upon and booked by any student. Dabble will contact Event hosts to confirm the final content of the event listing before it is placed on the Dabble.co website via email or phone. After the final Listing is agreed upon by both Dabble and the event host, the event will be listed on Dabble.co. By listing an Event on Dabble, you agree to honor any registrations through Dabble.co at the price and time listed in the Event listing. Please refrain from posting your email or phone number in your event listing to avoid spam and confusion caused by Dabbler customers contacting you directly. Any action or communication that directs Dabble customers to book directly to avoid paying a fee to Dabble is grounds for removal from the site.

6.4 Event Cancellation and Rescheduling. Dabble reserves the right to cancel or change any Dabble event at any time, for any reason with notice sent to all registered guests and host if not initiated by the event host. All Dabble experiences are valid only for the specified date. Dabble is not responsible for any changes or cancellations made to events by the Teacher or Host. Most events must meet an established minimum set by the event host to move forward. If the minimum is not met 25 hours in advance of the event start time, the event will be automatically canceled and all registered guests refunded to the method of payment. If an event is canceled for any reason, Dabble in coordination with the event host, shall arrange a suitable rain check, event credit with the default being a refund to any registered guests with funds generally returned in 1-3 business days. Refunds are not provided to students who are unable to make an event and provide less than 7 days notice. However, a credit for a future event may be given at Dabble or the event host's discretion. In the event of inclement weather, events may be canceled last minute or may still go forward. If the event host decides to cancel, your booking will be transferred to a new date and not refunded. If the new date does not work, your account will be credited. If the event host decided to proceed with the event but you are unable to attend or don't feel safe then every effort will be made to transfer you to future non-sold out date or your account will be credited if no future date is possible. If you need further assistance, contact Dabble’s customer support at: hello@dabble.co.

6.5 Customer Refunds and Review Process. Dabble is a community of lifelong learners and sometimes things don't go quite as planned. We expect everyone to play nice, communicate peacefully, and give the benefit of the doubt that everyone is trying their best. When things really don't go well, Dabble offers a money-back guarantee for any experience that a customer feels did not meet their expectation. Such refunds are processed pending our review of any submitted review or phone/email communication and a response from the event host. After such review, Dabble reserves the right to offer a full or partial refund or deny a customer's refund at our sole discretion regardless of whether or not the customer has left a negative or neutral review through the Dabble platform. At times, Dabble may opt to pay the Dabble event host and still offer a refund to the customer. In the event a Dabble partner is open to a no-cost rebooking coordinated outside of the Dabble platform or within OR an experience is refunded by Dabble regardless of payment to the event host AND the customer has left a negative or neutral review, Dabble reserves the right to remove any review associated with a refunded booking within 7 days in consideration for the rebooking and/or refund.
