Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

Any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New Jersey, and you consent to the jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating any disputes.

Independent Contractor Status & Liability Disclaimer

Tutors providing services through TutorsPro are independent contractors, not employees, agents, or representatives of TutorsPro. TutorsPro does not control, direct, or supervise tutors' work schedules, teaching methods, lesson plans, or interactions with students.

Tutors are solely responsible for setting their own availability, preparing materials, and delivering tutoring sessions. As independent contractors, tutors are not covered by any employment laws applicable to employees and are responsible for all tax obligations, business registrations, and compliance with any applicable laws governing their work.

TutorsPro does not conduct criminal background checks or verify tutors' credentials beyond the application process. Students and parents are responsible for assessing a tutor's suitability.

TutorsPro assumes no liability for any claims, disputes, damages, or injuries arising from tutoring sessions, including but not limited to:

• Lesson quality, academic outcomes, or dissatisfaction with services.
• Misrepresentation of qualifications by tutors.
• Personal or professional misconduct by a tutor.
• Any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from tutoring sessions.

Any disputes between students and tutors must be resolved directly between the involved parties. TutorsPro is not responsible for enforcing agreements, commitments, or expectations made between tutors and students. While TutorsPro may assist in dispute resolution at its sole discretion, it is not obligated to do so.

Financial Terms

Non-Solicitation & Confidentiality Agreement

To protect TutorsPro's business interests, all independent contractors, including tutors, promoters, and trainers, agree that for a period of 12 months following their last engagement with TutorsPro, they shall not directly solicit or attempt to solicit any current or former TutorsPro students or clients for private tutoring services outside of TutorsPro.

This restriction does not prevent tutors from offering their own tutoring services independently, but they may not actively recruit or solicit clients whom they originally connected with through TutorsPro.

Independent contractors further agree not to disclose or use TutorsPro's trade secrets, client lists, pricing structures, or internal business processes for personal gain or to benefit a competing business. Any violation of this agreement may result in legal action, including but not limited to injunctive relief and reasonable damages.

TutorsPro reserves the right to waive or modify these terms on a case-by-case basis at its sole discretion.

However, by using the platform, tutors grant TutorsPro a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, reproduce, and distribute these materials for educational purposes, quality control, and promotional use.

Students are permitted to use lesson notes, explanations, and other tutoring materials provided during their sessions for personal academic purposes only. These materials may not be shared, copied, resold, or distributed outside of TutorsPro without explicit permission from the tutor and TutorsPro.

About the Tutoring Sessions

• Tutoring sessions are scheduled in 30-minute increments, with a minimum session length of one hour.
• If a session exceeds the scheduled time, the student will be billed for the exact duration used, rather than rounding up to the nearest 30-minute mark.
• Tutors have the right to end a session at the scheduled time. If a student requests additional time, the tutor may accept or decline based on availability.

Time Rounding Policy:

• If a session lasts 1 hour and 15 minutes, the student is billed for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• If a session lasts 1 hour and 45 minutes, the student is billed for 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Billing & Overage Charges:

• Any additional time beyond the original booking will be automatically logged and billed accordingly.
• Tutors are required to log session times accurately, and students are responsible for reviewing their session logs.

This policy ensures fair and transparent billing based on actual time spent in tutoring sessions.

Dispute Resolution & Arbitration

In the event of a dispute between a User (student, tutor, or third party) and TutorsPro, both parties agree to first attempt to resolve the issue through informal negotiations. If no resolution is reached within 30 days, the dispute shall be resolved through binding arbitration.

• Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules.
• Arbitration shall take place in New Jersey, and the arbitrator's decision shall be final and legally binding on both parties.
• Users waive their right to file lawsuits in court, except as outlined below.

Exception for California Residents

If you are a resident of California, you may choose to bring an individual claim in small claims court in your county of residence, provided the claim qualifies for small claims under California law.

No Class Actions

Users agree that any claims against TutorsPro must be brought individually and not as part of a class action, consolidated lawsuit, or representative proceeding.

Modifications & Updates to These Terms

TutorsPro reserves the right to modify, update, or revise these Terms & Conditions at any time. Changes will become effective immediately upon posting on our website, unless stated otherwise.

• If a change materially affects users' rights or obligations, we will provide notice via email or a prominent notification on the platform.
