THE SITE AND SERVICES COMPRISE AN ONLINE MARKETPLACE WHICH FACILITATES THE CONNECTION BETWEEN USERS AND TUTORS FEATURED ON THE SITE AND VIA THE SERVICES. SKOOLI CHARGES A FEE BASED ON A PERCENTAGE OF THE FEES EARNED BY A TUTOR WHEN HE OR SHE PROVIDES TUTOR SERVICES TO A USER(S). YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT SKOOLI IS NEITHER A PARTY TO ANY AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO BETWEEN A USER AND A TUTOR NOR DOES SKOOLI HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THE TUTOR SERVICES OR THE CONDUCT OF TUTORS AND OTHER USERS OF THE SITE AND SERVICES, AND DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY IN THIS REGARD.

The Services made available through the Site are available only to, and may only be used by, individuals who are 18 years and older who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. By creating an Account, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and that all registration information you submit is accurate and truthful. Skooli may, in its sole discretion, refuse to offer access to or use of the Site to any person or entity and change its eligibility criteria at any time. This provision is void where prohibited by law and the right to access the Site is revoked in such jurisdictions. Users under the age of 18 must at all times use the Services only in conjunction with and under the supervision of a teacher, parent or legal guardian who is at least 18 years of age. In all such cases, such teacher, parent or guardian is the User, and is responsible for any and all Skooli Account activities.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SITE OR SERVICES, OR YOUR SKOOLI ACCOUNT, OR BY POSTING ANY CONTENT ON THE SITE OR THROUGH THE SERVICES IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR TUTOR SERVICES OR OTHERWISE, YOU ARE INDICATING THAT YOU HAVE READ, AND THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY, THESE USER TERMS OF SERVICE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE USER TERMS OF SERVICE, THEN YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO ACCESS OR USE THE SITE OR SERVICES. If you accept or agree to these User Terms of Service on behalf of a corporation or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that corporation or other legal entity to these User Terms of Service and, in such event, "you" and "your" will refer and apply to that corporation or other legal entity.
You acknowledge and agree that:
(a) that the Site and Services are intended only to facilitate the provision of Tutor Services via our online platform and its video and text chat and document collaboration interface;
(b) Skooli is not a provider of tutoring services;
(c) Skooli's role is solely to facilitate the availability of the Site and Services to Tutors and Users through the marketplace created by the Site and Services; and
(d) Skooli is not a contracting agent or representative of any Tutor. Tutors are independent contractors and are not employees or agents of Skooli.
(a) You can register to join the Service as a User by logging into your Account using certain third party social networking sites (“SNS”) (including, but not limited to Facebook) via our Site. When you register by logging into an SNS via our Site, we will obtain the Personal Information you have provided to that SNS (including, but not limited to your “real” name, profile picture, email address, list of SNS friends and any other information that you make available via the applicable SNS) from the account you have with such SNS and use that information to create your account and you will become a User; the information we obtain may depend on the information you provide to the applicable SNS and/or the privacy settings you have set or applied with the applicable SNS.
(b) When you register with Skooli and set up your Account, you: (i) agree to provide Skooli with accurate and complete information; (ii) agree to promptly update your Account information with any new information that may affect the operation of your Account; and (iii) authorize Skooli, directly or through third parties, to make any inquiries we consider necessary or appropriate to verify your Account information or the information you provide to us related to any transactions you initiate via the Site and Services. You will not use false identities or impersonate any other person or use a username or password that you are not authorized to use.
(c) You are responsible for safeguarding and maintaining the confidentiality of your username, password and corresponding Account information. You agree not to disclose your password to any third party and that you are entirely and solely responsible for any and all activities or actions that occur pursuant to the use of your Account, whether or not you have authorized such activities or actions. You will immediately notify Skooli of any unauthorized use of your username, password or Account.
(d) You agree that you will not permit, enable, introduce or facilitate persons who do not have an Account to have access to the features of the Site and Services only made available to registered Users.
Unless you pre-purchase a User Plan, you will automatically engage in any Tutor Sessions pursuant to a Pay As You Go Plan and the credit card linked to your Account will be charged in accordance with the then current Pay As You Go hourly rates, provided that the minimum charge for any Tutor Session is fifteen (15) minutes, after which time you will be charged on a per minute basis.
By purchasing a User Plan, you acknowledge that you are pre-purchasing a Plan Credit, which may be used towards Tutor Sessions and that all Tutor Sessions that extend beyond the Plan Credit remaining on your Account will be charged to the credit card linked to your account at the hourly rate applicable to a Pay As You Go Plan unless you pre-purchase another User Plan or you elect to automatically renew your User Plan upon its expiry. If you elect to automatically renew your User Plan, the credit card linked to your Account will be charged for the then current price of the same User Plan immediately upon the expiry of your prior Plan Credit. You acknowledge that such renewal will continue as a recurring payment feature and you accept responsibility for all such recurring charges until you cancel the automatic renewal feature. To cancel the automatic renewal feature of your User Plan at any time, you must logon to your Account and follow the cancellation procedures or call or email us and we will do it for you.
If you sign up for a free trial, you may cancel at any time during the free trial period and incur no charge. Once purchased, User Plans are not eligible for a refund. All Plan Credits purchased pursuant to a User Plan expire after one (1) year from the date of purchase. Skooli may submit additional charges to the credit card linked to your Account (including per minute charges at the hourly rate applicable to a Pay As You Go Plan for Tutor Sessions that exceed your User Credit as detailed herein) without further authorization from you.
The credit card information provided by you and linked to your account is kept on file by Skooli allowing you to engage in a Pay As You Go Plan and/or renew or upgrade your chosen User Plan without having to provide that information on a periodic basis. Skooli will charge the credit card linked to your Account for the amount applicable to your chosen User Plan and/or on an ongoing basis pursuant to a Pay As You Go Plan or in such other amount as you and we may later agree.
Prices for your chosen User Plan may be changed at any time and each renewal of your User Plan will be at the price that you were originally charged for that User Plan when you initially subscribed unless otherwise stated or there is a change in the price of your User Plan. You will receive reasonable notice of any change in prices prior to the effective date of the new pricing by email or other reasonable means such as a notice in your Account on the Site or other Skooli communications with you.
If a User Plan renewal transaction is not honoured for any reason, Skooli: (i) will charge you a fee for the failed transaction; and/or (ii) may suspend or end your chosen Account until confirmation, satisfactory to Skooli, has been received that the credit card attached to your Account has been restored to good status.
Tutor Fees are either (i) automatically deducted from the Plan Credit available in your Account or (ii) accumulated against your Pay As You Go Plan, on a proportionate basis in accordance with the duration of each Tutor Session. You acknowledge and agree that the minimum charge for any Tutor Session is fifteen (15) minutes, after which you are charged on a per minute basis. Immediately upon completion of the a Tutor Session, the applicable Tutor Fee will be automatically deducted from your Monthly Credit if you have an active User Plan and/or charged to the credit card linked to your Account if you have a Pay As You Go Plan or your User Plan expires prior to the completion of such Tutor Session. The payment of Tutor Fees is subject to our Cancellation and No-Show Policy and our Late Policy. In the event that a Tutor Session exceeds the number of minutes available in your Plan Credit, the credit card linked to your account will be charged at the per minute rate of a Pay As You Go Plan until the end of that Tutor Session.
In case you are not completely satisfied after 30 minutes of your first Tutor Session, we will provide you with a free half hour Tutor Session with a new tutor. You must call or email us within 72 hours of completing your initial Skooli Tutor Session and we’ll help connect you with a new tutor. If your free additional Tutor Session is also unsatisfactory, let us know before booking any further Tutor Sessions and we will provide a full refund for your User Plan purchase, or the Pay As You Go charges incurred for your first 30 minute Tutor Session.
If you are not completely satisfied with any Tutor Session, you may, within five (5) business days of the completion of such Tutor Session, initiate a dispute through your Account to seek a refund of the amount debited from your Plan Credit on account of such Tutor Session or otherwise charged to the credit card attached to your Account if you use a Pay As You Go Plan or if such Tutor Session exceeds the minutes available to you pursuant to the then current balance of your Plan Credit. Skooli will review all such disputes and will, in its sole discretion, accept or reject a refund request. If a refund is accepted, the amount debited from your Plan Credit on account of your payment will be returned (and/or the applicable credit card charge will be reversed) and your Tutor will not be paid for his or her provision of the relevant Tutor Services. Users who use this Guarantee and Tutor Session Refund privilege multiple times will be subject to review, which may result in the suspension and/or termination of your User Plan and/or your Account entirely.

Further, unless both you and Skooli otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. Notwithstanding the “General” section, below, if this specific “Dispute Resolution” section is held to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this section will be deemed void, but without affecting the validity of the remainder of these User Terms of Service, which will remain in full force and effect. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this section will survive any termination of these User Terms of Service. Any such arbitration contemplated by this section will be administered in accordance with the National Arbitration Rules of the ADR Institute of Canada then in effect, except as modified by this "Dispute Resolution" section. The place of such arbitration shall be Toronto, Ontario, Canada and the language of the arbitration will be English.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the "Modification" section above, if Skooli changes this "Dispute Resolution" section after the date you first accepted these User Terms of Service (or accepted any subsequent changes to these User Terms of Service), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to info@skooli.com) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the "Last Updated Date" above or in the date of Skooli's email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Skooli in accordance with the provisions of this "Dispute Resolution" section as of the date you first accepted these User Terms of Service (or accepted any subsequent changes to these User Terms of Service).
The failure of Skooli to enforce any right or provision of these User Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Skooli. Except as expressly set forth in these User Terms of Service, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these User Terms of Service will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these User Terms of Service or otherwise. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these User Terms of Service invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these User Terms of Service will remain in full force and effect.
