1. Tutors and Tutoring Services
The Website may be used to connect You with a Tutor who may provide Tutoring Services to You. The Company and its Website serve as intermediaries between You and Tutor, matching You with a Tutor based on the terms and subject area of the academic support You seek. The only approved and permitted uses of the Website include processing of Your information and academic support needs, sign-up, agreeing to the Company’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, and informational purposes, and payment processing for the Company’s Intermediary Services.

Tutors are independent contractors who do not serve as Our representatives, agents, or employees. Not all Tutors are college professors. Tutors may be college-aged or other individuals with requisite knowledge and experience to administer the Tutoring Services. The Company’s function is to facilitate the Tutoring Services. The Tutoring Services themselves are solely the responsibility of the Tutors. You may request to be matched with a Tutor other than the Tutor with whom You were originally matched if You believe the Tutor’s Tutoring Services do not meet Your needs or expectations. You should be aware that Company may not always be able to match You with a different Tutor for a variety of reasons, including increased demand during midterm and finals periods. If Your current Tutor discontinues their relationship with the Company, We will notify You and match You with a new Tutor as soon as practicably possible.

Arbitration Rules
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Binding Arbitration” section. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.
Arbitration Process
A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org.) The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.
Arbitration Location and Procedure
Unless You and the Company otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in New York County. If Your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of the documents that You and the Company submit to the arbitrator, unless You request a hearing, or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary.

15. Mobile Security
Most communication with the Company occurs through Your mobile device, computer, laptop, tablet, or other similar device (“Devices”). Therefore, Your Devices likely contain personally identifiable information (“PII”), such as your legal name, telephone number, address, social security number, and other vulnerable and sensitive information. As a result, it is of the utmost importance that You keep Your Devices secure at all times. If You are using public Wi-Fi or email applications on Your Devices, You are likely using unsecure networks, putting PII at risk of interception. The best ways to protect Devices from security breaches is to maintain password protection, 2-Factor Authentication, encryption, and/or to install a remote wiping/disabling program into them. Remote wiping/disabling program allows You to quickly clear and disable a lost or stolen mobile device, which can possibly prevent or reduce the magnitude of the breach. While the Company takes the utmost care in protecting Your confidential information and PII, it cannot protect information stored in Your Devices. By using and accessing the Website, the Company’s Tutoring Services, and the Tutoring Services, You agree to indemnify and hold the Company harmless for all loss, damage, claims, or legal actions resulting from any data breaches occurring from theft/misplacement or any third-party intervention with any and all of Your Devices.
