This Holder Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between HoldMyWhoop, Inc. ("HoldMyWhoop," "Company," "we," "us," or "our"), a Delaware corporation headquartered in San Francisco, California, and the individual accepting this Agreement ("Holder," "you," or "your"). By applying to, being accepted into, or participating in the HoldMyWhoop Holder Network, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions apply:
As a Holder in the HoldMyWhoop network, you agree to the following obligations, which form the foundation of our service quality and Member satisfaction:
You must wear each assigned Device for the minimum daily wear time corresponding to the matched Member's service tier: sixteen (16) hours per day for Starter tier Members, and twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week for Premium and Elite tier Members. "Wear time" means continuous, uninterrupted skin contact with the Device sensor. Removing the Device to shower is permitted for a maximum of 15 minutes per occurrence, no more than once per day. Swimming with the Device is permitted and, frankly, encouraged.
You are expected to maintain daily strain output consistent with the matched Member's Score Preferences. Starter tier Holders must maintain a minimum daily strain of 10.0 and not exceed 14.0 without prior authorization. Premium and Elite tier Holders must meet custom strain targets as communicated through the platform, which may range from 8.0 to 21.0+ depending on Member specifications. If a Member requests a strain level that exceeds your physiological capacity on a given day, you must notify your account manager immediately. Do not attempt heroics. We value your longevity as a Holder above any single data point.
You are responsible for the physical care, maintenance, and charging of all assigned Devices. Devices must be maintained at a minimum charge level of 20% at all times. You must use only manufacturer-approved charging accessories. Damage to a Device resulting from negligence, improper handling, or failure to follow manufacturer guidelines will be deducted from your compensation at replacement cost. We provide each Holder with a secondary charging cable at onboarding. There is no excuse for a dead device. Members are paying for continuous data. A gap in data is a gap in their identity.
You must maintain sleep and recovery habits consistent with generating recovery scores that meet or exceed the matched Member's Score Preferences. This includes maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, avoiding excessive alcohol consumption during Active Holding Periods (more than two drinks per evening may materially impact recovery scores), and prioritizing recovery modalities such as stretching, foam rolling, and hydration. We are not asking you to live like a monk. We are asking you to live like the person your Member wants to be.
You must adhere to all device handoff protocols, including: retrieving Devices from designated secure drop points within two (2) hours of notification; verifying tamper-evident biometric pouch integrity upon receipt; confirming Device receipt through the platform; and returning Devices via secure drop point within forty-eight (48) hours of a cancellation, reassignment, or termination event. Under no circumstances may you arrange a direct, in-person handoff with a Member. The integrity of the Holder-Member separation is non-negotiable.
Confidentiality is the cornerstone of the HoldMyWhoop service model. As a Holder, you occupy a position of extraordinary trust. You are, in the most literal sense, living someone else's fitness life. This responsibility demands absolute discretion.
You agree to the following confidentiality obligations, which survive termination of this Agreement indefinitely:
Breach of any confidentiality obligation constitutes grounds for immediate termination and may result in liquidated damages of up to $50,000 per breach, as further specified in the Holder NDA executed at onboarding. Holder-Member confidentiality is not merely a contractual obligation; it is the ethical foundation upon which this entire enterprise rests.
Holders are compensated as independent contractors. Compensation rates are determined by your assigned Holder tier, which is based on your athletic credentials, performance history, and physiological output consistency:
Compensation is paid bi-weekly via direct deposit. Active Holding Period hours are tracked automatically through Device wear-time data. Bonuses are available for: maintaining a recovery score above 85% for 30 consecutive days ($200 bonus); achieving a perfect strain target compliance rate for a calendar month ($150 bonus); and successfully completing a Rapid Rematch activation within 4 hours ($100 bonus per activation).
As an independent contractor, you are responsible for all applicable taxes, including self-employment taxes, on compensation received from HoldMyWhoop. We will provide you with a Form 1099-NEC for each calendar year in which you receive $600 or more in compensation. We recommend consulting a tax professional who is comfortable with the concept of being paid to exist physically.
All active Holders are automatically enrolled in the HolderCare insurance program at no cost. HolderCare provides the following coverage during Active Holding Periods:
HolderCare does not cover: pre-existing conditions; injuries sustained outside of Active Holding Periods; injuries resulting from activities not reasonably related to generating biometric data; or psychological distress arising from the existential implications of your work (we recommend our optional Employee Assistance Program for that).
In the event of an injury that may affect your ability to meet strain target compliance requirements, you must:
The Rapid Rematch Protocol guarantees that affected Members will be paired with a replacement Holder of equal or greater athletic caliber within four (4) hours of activation. Your cooperation during this transition is essential. The Member is counting on an uninterrupted data stream. Their Tuesday morning group chat depends on it.
Tier 2 and Tier 3 Holders may be assigned multiple Devices simultaneously, subject to the following policies:
Multi-device Holders receive a 15% compensation premium on each additional Device beyond the first. This premium reflects the added complexity of maintaining biometric discretion across multiple concurrent arrangements and the increased social risk of being observed wearing three fitness trackers at once.
Certain Members require enhanced biometric discretion due to their public profile, professional obligations, or competitive affiliations. The Covert Wear Program is designed for these situations and imposes additional requirements on assigned Holders:
The Covert Wear Program is available exclusively to Elite tier Members and requires a separate addendum to this Agreement. If you are assigned a Covert Wear Member, you will receive specialized training on enhanced biometric discretion protocols. We cannot tell you why certain Members need this level of discretion. You should not ask.
Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time with fourteen (14) days' written notice, subject to the following conditions:
HoldMyWhoop may terminate this Agreement immediately, without notice, for cause, including but not limited to: breach of confidentiality; failure to meet minimum wear time requirements for three (3) or more consecutive days; chronic failure to achieve strain target compliance; damage to or loss of a Member's Device; attempting to contact a Member directly; public disclosure of your Holder status; or any conduct that brings the HoldMyWhoop brand into disrepute.
Upon termination for cause, HoldMyWhoop reserves the right to withhold final compensation as an offset against any damages arising from the breach, including but not limited to: Member re-onboarding costs, emergency Rapid Rematch Protocol activation, Device replacement, and reputational harm.
For a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of this Agreement for any reason, you agree that you shall not:
We acknowledge that the wearable delegation industry is young and the competitive landscape is still forming. This non-compete exists to protect the significant investment HoldMyWhoop has made in developing proprietary methodologies, training protocols, and Member trust. If you wish to pursue a career in fitness, athletics, or personal training after leaving the Holder Network, you are free to do so. You simply cannot offer to wear someone else's fitness tracker for money for twelve months. We believe this is a reasonable restriction.
You acknowledge and agree that your relationship with HoldMyWhoop is that of an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create an employment relationship, partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship between you and HoldMyWhoop.
As an independent contractor, you are responsible for: providing your own training facilities and equipment (exclusive of assigned Devices); maintaining your own athletic conditioning; setting your own training schedule within the parameters of your strain target compliance obligations; and securing your own health insurance (HolderCare is supplemental to, not a replacement for, your personal health coverage).
You are not entitled to any employee benefits, including but not limited to: vacation pay, sick leave, retirement benefits, or workers' compensation. You are entitled to wear multiple fitness trackers while going about your daily life and getting paid for it. We consider that a benefit in itself.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in San Francisco, California, in accordance with its Employment Arbitration Rules (notwithstanding the independent contractor nature of this relationship, we believe these rules provide the most appropriate framework).
All arbitration proceedings shall be conducted under strict confidentiality. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding. You waive any right to a jury trial and any right to participate in a class action. Given the nature of the services described herein, we trust that both parties share a strong mutual interest in keeping any disputes out of the public record.
By accepting this Agreement, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by all terms and conditions set forth herein. You further acknowledge that:
