Fees & Payments Terms.

Launch Out solely facilitates the collection of funds on behalf of the Vendors who have listed onsite or online classes, extra murals and events on the Launch Out platform


Creating an account, listing a business and associated classes, courses, extra murals or adventures as well as accessing the platform are free.

However, we charge fees when we process payments on your behalf.

The funds are paid out every 2 weeks within a month and will be held for no less than 48 hours after the class or group of classes has been completed by the teacher / instructor.

Launch Out fees and processes for South African Vendors are as follows:

  • 10% per transaction fee will be levied for all payments transacted on the Launch Out platform. This includes banking, credit card processing and support on the Launch Out platform

  • Our transaction fee is always non-refundable (even if the consumer receives a refund)

  • Payments to vendors will only be done once we have received full payment from the consumer


Monthly Revenue, on the vendors business dashboard, within the App reflects the gross amount collected on the vendors behalf for the month, and payouts will be less the 10% Launch Out transaction fee.

Payments are calculated for all completed classes and pay outs will be made bi-monthly to vendors within 3-5 working day thereafter and within a reasonable amount of time considering weekends and bank holidays. Multi day classes, where a bulk amount has been collected, must be completed from start date to end date before payment will be made.


Payments will be made directly into the bank account given during the business registration process on the Launch Out App.

It is then up to the vendor to distribute those funds to their team members.

The vendor is responsible to advise Launch Out of any changes to their banking details by sending a bank guaranteed letter together with the change request to support@launchout.co.za. All bank charges levied by the vendors personal/business accounts for transactions are for the Vendors own account.


Launch Out fees are subject to change at any time as deemed necessary by the Shareholders.


Any Vendors outside of the borders of South Africa will need to contact support@launchout.co.za as fees will differ for different countries

Any reports of bad business practice conducted by any vendor/ company must be communicated via email to support@launchout.co.za within 48hours of the original scheduled class/event time. Any reports after the 48 hours has already lapsed, will require that the dispute be be done directly between vendor / company and guardian / consumer

Should the complaint be brought to Launch Outs attention within the 48hour window mentioned above, and where Launch Out still holds the proceeds, it will be at Launch Outs discretion to withhold payments to vendors for any disputes from Guardians / Users detailing a class/event that was not provided, insufficiently completed or contravening the rules as laid out in our End User Agreement and Privacy Policy.

Upon investigation by our team on the aforementioned report, it will be at Launch Outs sole discretion as to whether a refund to the Guardian / Consumer will be issued. All decisions regarding the refund shall be final and binding on the Guardian or User and the Business, Vendor and/or Instructor.


Where the proceeds have already been paid out to the vendor, it is a requirement that the vendor handles all refunds properly and directly with the consumer. All vendors must comply with all applicable laws when it comes to refunds and cancellations. You must refund all consumers where a class or event or organized activity is cancelled.


Vendors must reimburse Launch Out for any loss suffered or incurred by due to a charge back or refund claim being made against Launch Out in connection with your class. We are entitled to set-off the amount against any future payment due to you as a vendor.

The vendor will pay us for any losses (including reputational losses) which we suffer because of your failure to comply with any legal obligations to a consumer.
