Bring yourself. Share your time.
Pal Agreement · Draft pilot rules for members offering companionship. Choosing to be a Pal should be clear and voluntary.
Local pilot draft · Version 2026-11-13-draft-1. Legal and operational review is required before public transactions.
1. Your offer
Offer your time for approved, safe, platonic activities in public. Choose your rate, recurring availability, categories, and whether to accept a request. Be accurate about yourself and what you offer. Do not promise therapeutic benefits, professional advice, guaranteed outcomes, or an ongoing personal relationship. No required minimum hours or acceptance rate applies in this pilot.
2. Before accepting
Read the buyer’s activity, venue, date, duration, and expense cap. Accept only plans you can attend safely and comfortably. Sign the booking-specific agreement with your full account name. Do not accept overlapping commitments. You can decline any request, consistently with applicable nondiscrimination laws.
3. Earnings and costs
The proposed commission is 15% of the time charge, shown before acceptance. You keep 85% before applicable taxes and adjustments. Buyer-funded activity costs are separate; the buyer pays venues directly within the agreed budget. Do not advance funds, assume unlimited spending, or pressure buyers to increase budgets. Earnings are not guaranteed.
4. Verification and payouts
Before live operation, verified contact, identity screening, provider payout onboarding, appropriate tax information, and review of the listing are required. Submit sensitive documentation directly to the vetted provider, not in your bio or messages. The local preview only simulates transaction statuses and does not process payment or payout.
5. Status, taxes, and insurance
Legal worker classification depends on applicable law and real operating practices; calling a member a Pal or contractor does not determine status. The operator must complete New York and California classification, tax, licensing, and insurance review before launch. Members and the operator retain all statutory rights and obligations. Do not assume personal insurance covers paid activities; relevant coverage must be assessed.
6. Community care
Respect boundaries, consent, confidentiality, accessibility, and venue rules. No intimate services, caregiving, errands, chores, driving, or significant labor. Report misconduct and cooperate reasonably with fair investigations. Do not retaliate against honest reviews or reports. You can leave an unsafe situation and request support review.
7. Ending or changing your participation
You may stop accepting new requests. Cancel existing plans through the booking page; Pal cancellations qualify for full time-charge refunds to the buyer. Contact support to pause or remove your public listing. Data retention and account closure follow the Privacy Policy. Material agreement changes require notice and renewed consent where required.
