Terms and conditions

Chesskol is a marketplace that facilitates booking and delivering online chess lessons. Chesskol vets coaches through a verification process, but lessons are provided independently by each coach.

Some features require an account. You must keep your profile information accurate and up to date.

There are student and coach accounts. Coach accounts go through verification (FIDE data and identity) before appearing in the public listing and accepting bookings.

You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping your credentials confidential.

Payments are processed through an external provider. Chesskol does not store your card details; they are held by the payment processor and referenced via a token.

Cancellations are refunded to the original payment method as described in the Cancellation policy.

Chesskol retains a commission on each completed lesson; the remainder is paid to the coach on the current payout schedule.

Students who completed at least one lesson with a coach may leave a review with a rating and optional comment. Each student keeps one review per coach, which they may update.

Chesskol may moderate or hide reviews it considers inappropriate without deleting the underlying record.

Lessons may be recorded (board, audio, and video) so students can replay them later. Recording notice and legal treatment are shown in the platform and subject to applicable law.

We expect respectful use of the platform. Chesskol may suspend or terminate accounts that breach these terms or undermine marketplace trust.

We may update these terms. The current version will be published on this page with the last updated date.
