Coach Account Agreement

Last updated: April 2026

This Coach Account Agreement ("Agreement") governs your use of HQCheer as a registered Coach. By creating a Coach account, you agree to the terms outlined below in addition to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

1. Coach Account Eligibility

To register as a Coach on HQCheer, you must be at least 18 years of age, possess relevant cheerleading coaching experience or certifications, provide accurate and truthful information during registration, and maintain current contact information in your profile.

2. Coach Responsibilities

As a HQCheer Coach, you agree to:

Provide accurate, helpful, and professional guidance to athletes
Maintain appropriate boundaries with all users, especially minors
Follow all safety guidelines outlined in our Spotting Guidelines and Injury Prevention Guide
Respond to athlete inquiries in a timely manner
Keep all certifications and credentials up to date
Report any safety concerns to HQCheer administration immediately

3. Content Standards

All content you create, share, or post on HQCheer must be accurate, safe, and appropriate. You must not provide advice that could lead to injury, share copyrighted material without authorization, make false claims about credentials or experience, or post content that violates our Community Guidelines.

4. Athlete Interactions

All coach-athlete interactions on HQCheer must remain professional and within the platform. Coaches must not solicit personal contact information from minor athletes, engage in any communication that could be considered inappropriate, attempt to circumvent platform safety features, or provide medical advice beyond their scope of expertise.

5. Minor Athlete Protections

HQCheer serves athletes of all ages, including minors. Coaches must adhere to all Children's Privacy (COPPA) requirements, maintain professional boundaries at all times, ensure all feedback is constructive and age-appropriate, and follow mandatory reporting requirements for any suspected abuse or neglect as required by Texas law.

6. Compensation & Credits

Coach accounts may participate in the HQCheer credit system. Compensation for services provided through the platform (such as video reviews) is governed by separate agreements. HQCheer reserves the right to modify compensation structures with 30 days' notice. All payments are processed through our secure payment system via Stripe.

7. Intellectual Property

Content you create on HQCheer remains your intellectual property, but you grant HQCheer a non-exclusive license to display, distribute, and promote your content within the platform. HQCheer branding, logos, and proprietary features are the property of All Access Cheer Universe LLC.

8. Account Suspension & Termination

HQCheer reserves the right to suspend or terminate Coach accounts for violations of this Agreement, the Terms of Service, or Community Guidelines. Reasons for suspension include but are not limited to safety violations, inappropriate conduct, misrepresentation of credentials, and failure to meet professional standards. You may appeal suspension decisions by contacting support@hqcheer.com.

9. Limitation of Liability

HQCheer provides a platform for coaching services but does not guarantee outcomes. Coaches acknowledge that they are independent service providers, not employees of HQCheer. HQCheer is not liable for injuries resulting from coaching advice, disputes between coaches and athletes, or loss of income due to account suspension for policy violations.

10. Modifications

HQCheer may update this Agreement at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email at least 30 days before taking effect. Continued use of your Coach account after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Agreement.
