These Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website located at www.goranvajic.com (the “Website”) and the online chess coaching services provided thereon (collectively, the “Services”) by Plethora Commerce LLC, a limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States (referred to herein as “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”). By accessing or using the Website or Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Website or Services.
The Services are intended for users who are at least 18 years of age or the age of majority in their jurisdiction, whichever is higher. If you are under such age, you may only use the Services with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.
We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time, and such changes will be effective upon posting the revised Terms on the Website. Your continued use of the Website or Services after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.
Section 1: Introduction and Overview
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you (the “User,” “you,” or “your”) and the Company regarding your use of the Services, which include personalized online chess coaching sessions conducted by FIDE Master Goran Vajic or other qualified coaches affiliated with us. The Services are designed to help chess enthusiasts improve their skills through interactive, recorded sessions, homework assignments, and ongoing support, all delivered virtually via the internet.
The Website serves as the primary platform for booking, scheduling, and accessing the Services. All interactions, including payments, communications, and delivery of coaching materials, occur online. We do not offer in-person or physical coaching sessions. The Services are available to users in various jurisdictions, including but not limited to the United States and countries within the European Union, subject to compliance with applicable laws.
By engaging with the Services, you acknowledge that chess coaching is an educational and skill-building activity, and results may vary based on individual effort, aptitude, and external factors. We make no guarantees regarding specific outcomes, such as rating improvements or tournament success, as these depend on your dedication and other variables beyond our control.
These Terms incorporate by reference our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, which are available on the Website and detail how we handle your personal information in compliance with laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the EU and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the United States.
Section 2: Acceptance of Terms and Electronic Communications
Your access to and use of the Website and Services signify your unconditional acceptance of these Terms in their entirety. If you are using the Services on behalf of an entity or organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind such entity to these Terms.
We may communicate with you electronically, including via email, notices posted on the Website, or through the Services interface. You consent to receive all communications from us electronically and agree that such communications satisfy any legal requirement that they be in writing. It is your responsibility to provide and maintain accurate contact information, including a valid email address.
If you object to any provision of these Terms or become dissatisfied with the Services, your sole remedy is to immediately discontinue use of the Website and Services. Continued use after any dissatisfaction constitutes waiver of any claims related thereto.

Section 4: Eligibility and Account Registration
To use the Services, you must be at least 18 years old or have parental/guardian consent if under the age of majority. You must register for an Account by providing accurate, current, and complete information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account credentials and for all activities that occur under your Account.
We reserve the right to refuse registration or terminate Accounts at our discretion, including if we suspect fraudulent activity, violation of these Terms, or for any other reason. You agree not to create multiple Accounts or use automated means to register.
If you provide false information during registration, we may suspend or terminate your Account without liability, and you may forfeit any prepaid Fees.
Section 5: Description of Services
The Services consist of online, one-on-one chess coaching tailored to your skill level and goals. Each Session is approximately 60 minutes long, conducted via video conferencing tools, and includes real-time interaction with the Coach. Sessions are recorded, and you will receive lifetime access to these recordings for personal review.
Additional features include personalized homework assignments to reinforce learning, satisfaction surveys for feedback, and ongoing access to the Coach for questions via email or designated channels. We may offer free trial Sessions to allow you to experience the Services before committing to paid packages.
The Services are not a substitute for professional advice in other fields, such as mental health or physical training, and are solely focused on chess skill development. We do not guarantee any specific results, as progress depends on your effort, practice, and external factors like tournament participation.
Section 6: Booking and Scheduling
Bookings are made through the Website after payment of applicable Fees. Upon payment, you may schedule Sessions at your convenience, subject to the Coach’s availability. Scheduling is flexible, but we do not provide time-based guarantees for completion of packages, as timelines depend on your pacing and availability.
You must attend scheduled Sessions punctually. If you fail to appear within 15 minutes of the start time without prior notice, the Session may be considered forfeited, with no refund or rescheduling obligation on our part. Rescheduling requires at least 3 hours’ notice; otherwise, fees may apply.
We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule Sessions due to Coach unavailability, technical issues, or other unforeseen circumstances, in which case we will offer a reasonable alternative or credit.
Section 7: Payments and Billing
All payments for Services are processed via PayPal or, in the future, integrated debit/credit card processors. You agree to provide accurate billing information and authorize us to charge the Fees to your chosen payment method.
Fees are non-refundable except as provided in Section 8. We may adjust Fees at any time, but changes will not apply to pre-paid Services. All Fees are exclusive of taxes, which you are responsible for paying as applicable in your jurisdiction.
In the event of payment disputes, you must notify us within 30 days of the charge; failure to do so waives your right to dispute. We may suspend Services for non-payment without notice.
Section 8: Refunds and Cancellations
Refunds are available under limited circumstances to ensure satisfaction without abuse. For single-Session purchases, you may request a refund within 5 business days after attending the Session if dissatisfied, provided you submit a detailed explanation.
For multi-Session packages (e.g., 5, 10 or 20 Sessions), refunds are available after attending the first one or two Sessions if you determine the coaching does not meet your needs. Refunds will be prorated for unused Sessions, minus any administrative fees. We reserve the right to deny refunds if we suspect abuse, such as repeated requests or failure to engage in good faith.
No refunds are available for completed Sessions, unused Sessions beyond the refund window, or due to your failure to schedule or attend. All refund decisions are at our sole discretion and final.
Cancellations by you after payment but before scheduling may incur a processing fee. We do not offer time-based guarantees for package completion, as this depends on your scheduling.
Section 9: User Obligations and Conduct
You agree to use the Services responsibly and in compliance with all applicable laws. You must not: (i) harass, threaten, or impersonate others; (ii) upload malicious content; (iii) infringe intellectual property rights; (iv) use the Services for commercial purposes without permission; or (v) attempt to reverse-engineer or disrupt the Website.
You are responsible for your equipment, internet connection, and any third-party fees incurred in using the Services. You must provide honest feedback and complete homework in good faith to maximize benefits.
Violation of this section may result in immediate termination of your Account and Services, without refund.
Section 10: Coach and Company Obligations
We commit to providing qualified Coaches, such as FIDE Master Goran Vajic, to deliver the Services professionally. We will make reasonable efforts to ensure Sessions are interactive, personalized, and beneficial, including follow-ups on homework and access to recordings.
However, we do not warrant uninterrupted access or error-free Services. Technical issues may occur, and we will address them promptly but without liability for delays.
Our obligations are limited to the scope described herein, and we are not responsible for your overall chess performance or external outcomes.
Section 11: Intellectual Property Rights
All Content, including recordings, homework, notes, and Website materials, is owned by us or our licensors and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use Content solely for personal, non-commercial purposes in connection with the Services.
You must not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from any Content without our written consent. Unauthorized use may result in legal action and termination of Services.

Section 13: Confidentiality

Similarly, you must keep confidential any proprietary coaching methods or materials shared by us. Breach of confidentiality may lead to damages and injunctive relief.

WE DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTIES REGARDING RESULTS FROM THE SERVICES, SUCH AS RATING IMPROVEMENTS OR SKILL ENHANCEMENT, AS THESE DEPEND ON INDIVIDUAL FACTORS. NO ADVICE FROM COACHES CONSTITUTES PROFESSIONAL LEGAL, FINANCIAL, OR MEDICAL ADVICE.

Section 16: Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS, THE SERVICES, OR YOUR USE THEREOF, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE FEES PAID BY YOU FOR THE SPECIFIC SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM IN THE PRECEDING 12 MONTHS. THIS LIMITATION APPLIES REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY, SO THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, BUT LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED.

We reserve the right to assume control of any defense, and you must cooperate fully. You may not settle any claim without our prior written consent.
Section 18: Termination of Services
We may terminate or suspend your Account and access to the Services at any time, with or without cause, including for violation of these Terms, non-payment, or inactivity. Upon termination, you must cease all use, and any licenses granted hereunder terminate.
You may terminate by ceasing use and requesting Account deletion. Prepaid Fees for unused Services may be refunded at our discretion, subject to Section 8.
Termination does not relieve you of obligations accrued prior thereto, including payment of Fees.
Section 19: Force Majeure
Neither party shall be liable for failure to perform obligations (except payment) due to events beyond reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, strikes, pandemics, natural disasters, or internet failures.
The affected party must notify the other promptly and resume performance as soon as practicable. If the event persists for more than 30 days, either party may terminate without liability.

You consent to personal jurisdiction in Wyoming and waive any objections to venue. Notwithstanding the above, we may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect our intellectual property.
For EU users, this choice of law does not deprive you of mandatory consumer protections under your local laws, to the extent applicable.
Section 21: Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Services shall first be attempted to be resolved amicably through good-faith negotiations. If unresolved within 30 days, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in Wyoming.
