ClypThis Master Artisan End User License Agreement ("Barber EULA" or "Agreement") is a binding contract between you ("Barber," "Master Artisan," or "you") and Monarch Labs ("Clyp," "we," "us," or "our") governing your use of the Clyp platform to offer independent house-call grooming services. By creating a barber account or toggling availability on Clyp, you agree to this Agreement, our Terms of Service, and our Privacy Policy.
1. Independent contractor status
You are an independent contractor, not an employee, partner, agent, or franchisee of Monarch Labs. You control how, when, and where you perform services, subject to client bookings accepted through Clyp and applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment, joint venture, or agency relationship.
You are solely responsible for your taxes, insurance, licensing, tools, and compliance with local, state, and federal regulations governing mobile barbering and cosmetology.
2. Eligibility and credentials
You represent and warrant that you:
- Are at least 18 years old and legally permitted to work as a barber in your market
- Hold all licenses, permits, and registrations required where you perform services
- Maintain active personal liability insurance appropriate for mobile grooming
- Will provide accurate license, identity, and payout information when requested
Clyp may suspend or remove barbers who fail verification, misrepresent credentials, or create trust & safety risk.
3. Services you provide
You agree to perform only grooming services you list in your Clyp service menu, at the prices and durations shown at booking time, at the client's confirmed location, and with professional care consistent with industry standards. You—not Clyp—are the service provider to the client.
4. Platform tools and conduct
While using Clyp you agree to:
- Honor accepted bookings, communicate through in-app chat when possible, and arrive within reasonable windows
- Keep availability, service menu, and portfolio content accurate
- Respect client homes, privacy, and house rules communicated at booking
- Not solicit off-platform payments or circumvent Clyp fees
- Not harass, discriminate against, or endanger clients or other users
- Report safety incidents, disputes, and policy violations promptly
5. Payments and payouts
Client payments are processed by Stripe. Barber payouts are sent through Stripe Connect to the account you onboard. You authorize Clyp and Stripe to deduct applicable platform fees, chargebacks, refunds, adjustments, and compliance holds before remitting your balance.
You are responsible for maintaining a valid Connect account and tax documentation. Clyp does not guarantee any minimum income, booking volume, or payout timing beyond what Stripe and our policies disclose in-app.
6. Insurance
You confirm that you maintain personal liability insurance covering mobile grooming services. Clyp does not provide barber liability coverage. You agree to notify us if coverage lapses and to indemnify Clyp for claims arising from your services, except to the extent caused by Clyp's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
7. User content and portfolio
You retain ownership of photos, reviews, and portfolio content you upload. You grant Clyp a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, and distribute that content to operate the marketplace, including discovery, marketing where permitted, and trust & safety review. You represent that you have rights to all content you submit.
8. Location and en-route tracking
When you accept a house call, Clyp may use your device location to show clients estimated arrival and Live Activity updates during active jobs. You can control location permissions in iOS Settings, but disabling location during active jobs may limit platform features clients expect.
9. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or terminate your barber account for violations of this Agreement, the Terms of Service, low ratings, fraud, licensing issues, or risk to users. You may stop using Clyp at any time; outstanding payouts, disputes, and legal obligations survive termination.
10. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
CLYP PROVIDES THE PLATFORM "AS IS." WE DO NOT GUARANTEE BOOKINGS, CLIENT BEHAVIOR, OR OUTCOMES OF YOUR SERVICES. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MONARCH LABS' LIABILITY TO YOU FOR PLATFORM-RELATED CLAIMS IS LIMITED TO FEES YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100), WHICHEVER IS GREATER.
11. Changes
We may update this Agreement by posting a revised version at theclyp.com/barber-eula and updating the "Last updated" date. Material changes may be communicated in-app or by email. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
