  1. Liability and Indemnity
    • Applicable to all Users:
      • A key feature of Anova is the ability to enhance the Coach and Player relationship but Anova operates as a platform to facilitate such relationship only. The relationship (and any contract) between a Coach and Player is entirely independent of Toptracer and Anova and we do not accept any liability or responsibility for any aspect of the Coach-Player relationship. For example, Coaches are solely responsible for requesting, and Players are solely responsible for paying, any fees for coaching services (whether or not conducted through Anova), and these are not facilitated or controlled by Toptracer in any way.
      • Although we use reasonable efforts to update the information on Anova and attempt to make sure this is always up to date and correct, we make no representations, warranties or guarantees, whether express or implied, that the content on our site is always accurate, complete, up to date or that Anova will always work without any malfunctions or disruptions. Anova and any services or products obtained through it are provided on an “as available” and “as is” basis.
      • We are not responsible and exclude any liability for the content that is posted on Anova by either a Player or a Coach, including but not limited to any assignments, advice or tasks provided by the Coach to the Player via or outside of Anova. The nature of the Anova platform means that we cannot review any such content in advance. For example, we take no responsibility for any advice or assignments given by a Coach which are ineffective or which cause injury or damage to you or any third-party.
      • You agree not to sue or make any other claim against Toptracer (or its affiliates) in any way relating to the Player-Coach relationship as may be facilitated by Anova. By way of example, as a Coach you shall not attempt to recover from Toptracer any coaching fees not paid by a Player, and as a Player, you shall not make any claim against Toptracer in connection with any failure by a Coach to provide coaching services, the quality of any coaching or any coaching or assignments which cause injury or damage to you or any third-party. 
      • You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Toptracer (and its affiliates) from and against any and all suits, actions, losses, damages or costs (including legal fees), arising out of, or in connection with (a) the Player-Coach relationship (whether or not facilitated by Anova); (b) any content you post on Anova; (c) as a Coach, any coaching or assignments you provide; (d) as a Player, your performance or undertaking of any coaching or assignments provided by a Coach; and (e) any breach of these terms.
      • We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors and for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
    • If you are a Coach:
      • We exclude all implied conditions, warranties, representations or other terms that may apply to Anova or any content on it.

  • loss of profits, sales, business, or revenue;
  • business interruption;
  • loss of anticipated savings;
  • loss of business opportunity, goodwill or reputation; or
  • any indirect or consequential loss or damage.
    • Our total aggregate liability to you under this agreement shall be limited to the average annual amount of the fees actually paid by You to access Anova. Nothing in this clause 17 shall limit or exclude any liabilities which may not be limited or excluded under applicable law.
  • If you are a Player:
    • Please note that we only provide Anova for your private use. You agree not to use Anova for any commercial or business purposes, and we have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
    • If defective digital content that we have supplied, damages a device or digital content belonging to you and this is caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill, we will either repair the damage or pay you compensation. However, we will not be liable for damage that you could have avoided by following our advice to apply an update offered to you free of charge or for damage that was caused by you failing to correctly follow installation instructions or to have in place the minimum system requirements advised by Us.
    • Our total aggregate liability to you under this agreement shall be limited to the average annual amount of the fees actually paid by You to access Anova. Nothing in this clause 17 shall limit or exclude any liabilities which may not be limited or excluded under applicable law.
