- Tutoring Services
3.1 The Platform allows Tutors to offer their services to prospective Students. Subject to the terms of clause 8.2, we do not charge you any fees for registering and offering your services through the Platform. We only charge you when you receive payment for your services, as described further below.
3.2 You confirm that you will not offer any products or services which you make available through the Platform at a lower cost anywhere else.
3.3 You can register by completing the registration forms on our Platform. By registering with us, you are confirming that all the information provided by you, including your identity and qualifications are true and correct and not misleading.
3.4 Once you have registered, we will list your services on our Platform and Students will be able to contact you through the Platform to receive tutoring services. If you upload any content to the Platform, it must comply with these Terms and the User Content terms set out in our Website Terms & Conditions. You are aware that we may delete such content at any time and you will therefore keep you own backup copies of any such content you may require.
3.5 If you wish to provide services to a Student you can confirm the terms of that engagement through the Platform. A binding contract will then be in place for you to perform the Contract under the terms you have agreed.
3.6 Should any terms of your Contract change at any time (for example, the start date or length of the engagement, or fees) you will need to agree any changes with the Student through messaging on the Platform.
3.7 The Student will be required to pay the Tutor Fee through the Platform at the time of agreeing the Contract. We will hold the Tutor Fee for a period of 14 days (to enable the Student to exercise its statutory right to cancel). On the first working day of each calendar month, we will make a reconciliation of all amounts falling due to the Tutor (which means fees which have been held by us for 14 days) during the prior calendar month. We shall deduct the educ8all Fee (details of which will be made available on the Platform) which is due on such payments and then pay the balance to you within 7 days.
3.8 In the event of any dispute in relation to the performance of any Contract, you should take the matter up directly with the Student. We may at our entire discretion agree to assist in any dispute, but we have no obligation to do so.
3.9 All communications relating to the Contract should be made through the Platform and all payment of any sums passing between the Student and the Tutor must take place only through the Platform. Tutors should ensure that they respond to all requests for tuition by Students within 24 hours of receiving such request.

No refund is payable for a late arrival by a Tutor of less than 10 minutes.
