Terms of Service

Last updated October 31, 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Wadsworth AI LLC, which operates RunTheChair. By using the app or website you agree to them. If you use RunTheChair for your business, you agree for that business too.

1. What RunTheChair is

RunTheChair is software that lets barbers, stylists and shops ("barbers") take bookings and payments in an app branded as their own, and lets their clients book, pay and keep track of visits. Barbers are independent businesses. The service itself (the haircut, the color, the house call) is between you and the barber; RunTheChair isn't a party to it and doesn't employ barbers.

2. Accounts

You sign in with a phone number you control. Keep access to it secure; you're responsible for activity on your account. Accounts are for adults; a parent or guardian may book for a child. Give accurate information.

3. Bookings, deposits and cancelations

4. Payments

Card payments are processed by Stripe. Barbers receive their money through Stripe Connect and agree to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement. Clients' card details are held by Stripe. Tips go to the barber in full.

5. Fees for barbers

6. Barbers' responsibilities

Barbers are responsible for their services, licenses, prices, policies, taxes, and for treating client information only as needed to serve those clients. Don't message clients who've opted out, and only message people who've been your clients.

6a. Comes to you

Barbers who travel can appear on a map and take requests from nearby clients. The barber is the provider of the visit, not RunTheChair. Barbers set their own area and prices, may decline any request, and decide where they work. Before turning this on, a barber confirms they hold the licenses they need and follow the rules where they work, including rules for vehicles and home visits. RunTheChair doesn't verify licenses, insurance, background or skill, and a license number shown in the app is supplied by the barber.

If you're a barber offering this: you must carry liability insurance that covers home visits, and you alone are responsible for your work, your conduct, your vehicle and anyone you bring. Don't serve anyone under 18 on a home visit. A client's report can take you off home visits until we've reviewed it. You agree to defend and repay Wadsworth AI LLC for losses and reasonable legal costs from any claim that comes from your visits or from breaking these terms, unless the claim was caused by our own gross negligence or intentional wrongdoing.

If you're a client requesting this: you choose whether to let a barber into your home, and we don't screen them. To the fullest extent the law allows, you release Wadsworth AI LLC from claims about what a barber does or fails to do on a visit. This doesn't cover our own gross negligence or intentional wrongdoing, or anything the law doesn't let you give up, and your claims against the barber stay yours. Home visits are for adults 18 or older, booking for themselves. Don't request one for a child. If a client reports a problem, we may take the barber off home visits while we look into it, and that doesn't mean we've judged the report.

Clients share an address with the barber who accepts, and that barber's location while on the way. Canceling is free until the barber is on the way, or for 2 minutes after they accept, whichever is later. After that, the barber's late-cancel fee can apply. Fees are the same as for any other visit. In an emergency, call 911.

7. Your content

You keep ownership of the photos, reviews, logos and text you add. You give us a license to host and show them as needed to run RunTheChair (for example, a barber's portfolio on their page, a review on the barber's page). Only upload content you have the right to share. Reviews must be honest and about a real visit.

8. Acceptable use

Don't misuse RunTheChair: no fraud, fake bookings, harassment, spam, scraping, attempts to break security, or illegal services. We may suspend or close accounts that do, and remove content that breaks these terms.

9. Ending your account

You can delete your account at any time in the app or at /delete-account. Upcoming bookings need to be canceled first. A barber's page closes with their account; amounts already owed (fees, booth rent, disputes) remain owed.

10. Disclaimers and limits

RunTheChair is provided "as is". We work to keep it running and accurate but don't promise it will always be available or error-free. To the extent the law allows, Wadsworth AI LLC isn't liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for the services barbers provide, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the fees you paid us in the 12 months before it.

11. Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York. Disputes go to the state or federal courts in New York County, New York, unless the law where you live says otherwise.

12. Changes

If we change these terms in a way that matters, we'll tell you in the app before the change applies. Continuing to use RunTheChair after that means you accept the new terms.
