ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

The following Terms of Service Agreement (the “TOS”) is a legally binding agreement that shall govern the relationship with our users and others which may interact or interface with TeacherFindr, Inc., also known as TutorUp, (“TutorUp”) and our subsidiaries and affiliates, in association with the use of the TutorUp website, which includes TutorUp.com, (the “Site”) and its Services, which shall be defined below.

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES OFFERED

The Site is a marketplace website which has the following description:

TutorUp provides its services to those seeking tutoring opportunities (“Tutors”) and to those seeking tutors for their students (“Customers”). We help Tutors and Customers find one another, and facilitate the payments to Tutors by Customers through an online payment system (the “Services”). Lessons may include tutoring services (”Tutoring Services”) that are on line / virtual tutoring (“Virtual Tutoring”) or may be provided in person tutoring by the Tutor (“In person Tutoring”).

As independent contractors hired by Customers, Tutors control the methods, materials and all aspects of the lessons.

Customers are responsible for selecting the right Tutor for their student’s needs. In making hiring decisions, Customers should review and investigate each Tutor’s self-reported credentials, education, and experience, as well as reviews from other teachers and other Customers. Importantly, all tutoring sessions should be supervised by a responsible adult.

Once an individual registers for our Services, through the process of creating an account, the User shall then be considered a “Customer.”

Customers may purchase Tutoring Services as a package with a specified number of hours (a ”Package”) or Customers may purchase a monthly subscription of Tutoring Services for a specific number of hours each month of Tutoring Services (a ”Subscription”). Pricing for a Package of Tutoring Services is set forth on the Customer account. If a Customer selects a Subscription, Customer shall select the number of hours of Tutoring Services desired per month. Pricing for a Subscription of Tutoring Services is set forth on the Customer account. The first month’s Subscription charge and number of hours are prorated based on four weeks in the month and depend on the day of the month on which the customer registers. Thereafter, the Customer’s account will be charged the fee for the Subscription and Tutoring Services become available on the first day of each month. Unused Tutoring Services in one month will roll over to the following month. Tutoring Services may be used by any child of a Customer and may be used for multiple Tutors. The Customer may cancel a Subscription at any time. Upon cancellation, the Customer has the remainder of the month to use any Tutoring Services purchased. At the end of the month of cancellation of the Subscription, any unused Tutoring Services are forfeited unless the Subscription is renewed within thirty (30) days of the end of the cancelled Subscription in which case the unused Tutoring Services are recredited to the Customer’s account. By providing TutorUp with credit card information, the Customer hereby authorizes TutorUp to charge the Customer’s credit card account for the requested Package or for the ongoing monthly Subscription charge until cancelled.

The Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Services provided and made available through TutorUp’s website and applications, which may include some mobile applications and that those applications may be made available on various social media networking sites and numerous other platforms and downloadable programs, are the sole property of TutorUp. At its discretion, TutorUp may offer additional website Services and/or products, or update, modify or revise any current content and Services, and this Agreement shall apply to any and all additional Services and/or products and any and all updated, modified or revised Services unless otherwise stipulated. TutorUp hereby reserve the right to cancel and cease offering any of the aforementioned Services and/or products. The Customer, acknowledges, accepts and agrees that TutorUp shall not be liable for any such updates, modifications, revisions, suspensions or discontinuance of any of the Services and/or products. Your continued use of the Services provided, after such posting of any updates, changes, and/or modifications shall constitute your acceptance of such updates, changes and/or modifications, and as such, frequent review of this Agreement and any and all applicable terms and policies should be made by you to ensure you are aware of all terms and policies currently in effect. Should you not agree to the updated, revised or modified terms, you must stop using the provided Services forthwith.
