As stated above, Tutorleague Services make available a marketplace with related technology for Subjects and Tutors to arrange for the matching of a Subject with a Tutor and booking of Tutoring Services. Tutorleague itself does not provide any tutoring-related services. Tutorleague responsibilities are limited to: (i) facilitating the availability of the Site, and (ii) serving as the limited agent of each Tutor for the purpose of accepting payments from a Subject on behalf of the Tutor. There are risks that you assume when dealing with other Users (including those who may be acting under false pretenses). You agree that all of these risks are borne by you, and not Tutorleague. Tutorleague does not control the behavior of Users or the quality of the Tutoring Services. As a result, Tutorleague does not guarantee or endorse the authenticity, quality, safety, or legality of the Tutoring Services.
You may be required to register with Tutorleague in order to access and use certain features of the Service. If you choose to register for the Service, you agree to provide and maintain true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service’s registration or contact form. Registration data and certain other information about you are governed by our Privacy Policy. If you are under 13 years of age, you are not authorized to use the Service, with or without registering. In addition, if you are under 18 years old, you may use the Service, with or without registering, only with the approval of your parent or guardian.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account, if any, and are fully responsible for any and all activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to (a) immediately notify Tutorleague of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session when accessing the Service. Tutorleague will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section.
Tutorleague reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice. You agree that Tutorleague will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Service.
You acknowledge that Company may establish general practices and limits concerning use of the Service, including without limitation the maximum period of time that data or other content will be retained by the Service and the maximum storage space that will be allotted on Company’s servers on your behalf. You agree that Company has no responsibility or liability for the deletion or failure to store any data or other content maintained or uploaded by the Service.

In addition, downloading, installing, or using certain Mobile Services may be prohibited or restricted by your carrier, and not all Mobile Services may work with all carriers or devices.

In the event you change or deactivate your mobile telephone number, you agree to promptly update your Tutorleague account information to ensure that your messages are not sent to the person that acquires your old number.
Tutorleague endeavors to match a Subject with the most suitable Tutor(s) based on information provided by the Subject. A number of Teachers and Tutors may be presented as options to a Subject as part of the matching process, in which case it is the Subject’s responsibility to make the final choice as to which Tutor provides Tutoring Services. A Subject will be able to book the Tutoring Services though the Site (“Booking”). However, even when a Tutor is matched with or chosen by a Subject for a Booking, Tutorleague reserves the right to change which Tutor actually provides the Tutoring Services for a particular Booking, in its sole discretion. Tutorleague will endeavor to notify the Subject of any such changes in advance.
As Tutor, you acknowledge and agree that a substantial portion of the compensation Tutorleague receives for making the Site available to you is collected through the Tutorleague Fee described in Payment Terms. Tutorleague only receives this Fee when a Subject and a Tutor pay and receive payment through us. Therefore, for 12 months from the time you identify or are identified by any party through the Site (the “Non-Circumvention Period”), you must use the Site as your exclusive method to request, make, and receive all payments for work directly or indirectly with that party or arising out of your relationship with that party. You may opt-out of this obligation with respect to each Subject-Tutor relationship only if Subject or prospective Subject or Tutor pays Tutorleague for each such relationship by paying an “Opt-Out Fee” of $5,000 AUD.
To pay the Opt-Out Fee, you must request instructions by sending an email message to info@tutorleague.com.
Except if you pay the Opt-Out Fee, you agree not to circumvent the Payment Terms offered by the Site.
By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, you must not:
You agree to notify Tutorleague immediately if another User improperly contacts you or suggests making or receiving payments outside of the Site.
As a Tutor, you must provide Tutorleague with any information requested in order for Tutorleague to match you to a Subject, such as information on your background, education, experience and skills, professional reference details, contact details and your passport size photo. You must also provide Tutorleague with up to date, complete and accurate information regarding the days and times you are available to complete Bookings and must ensure that this information remains accurate and current at all times. Once you are matched with a Subject you have the right to turn down the job, but Tutorleague has sole discretion to determine if such refusal will harm your ability to be matched in the future. Tutorleague may also request that you submit a summary of previous works, teaching and tutoring experience. Tutorleague has sole discretion as to which tutors are accepted into the marketplace and we reserve the right to reject any potential Tutor and remove any Tutor from the marketplace for any reason. Tutorleague may, but is not required to, conduct background checks on Tutors.
EACH TUTOR IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBTAINING ALL PERMITS INCLUDING WORK RIGHTS, LICENSES AND OTHER PERMISSIONS REQUIRED TO OFFER OR PROVIDE ANY TUTORING SERVICES OR OTHER TUTOR-PROVIDED SERVICES AND Tutorleague ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR A TUTOR’S FAILURE TO OBTAIN SUCH PERMITS INCLUDING WORK RIGHTS, LICENSES OR PERMISSIONS OR OTHERWISE COMPLY WITH ANY APPLICABLE LAWS, RULES OR REGULATIONS.
You understand and agree that Tutorleague is neither an insurer nor a contracting agent or employer for you as a Tutor. If a Subject purchases any of your Tutoring Services, any agreement you enter into with such Subject is between you and the Subject and Tutorleague is not a party thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tutorleague serves as your limited authorized agent for the purpose of accepting payments from Subjects on your behalf and Tutorleague is responsible for transmitting your portion such payments to you. You acknowledge and agree that, as a Tutor, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions. Each Tutor understands the fact that Tutorleague does not offer any medical coverage for bodily harm or injury that may result from providing the Tutoring Services. Tutorleague will not reimburse for any medical bills, transportation or loss of wages as a result of the injury or for any accommodations.
Each Subject agrees to pay all applicable fees for Tutoring Services after the completion of the Tutoring Services (“Signed Student Timesheets”) as set forth on the Site (collectively, “Tutor Fees”). All Tutor Fees are payable in the currency specified on the Site at the time of Booking. If a Subject requests amended Tutoring Services, including but not limited to changes to the time, location or type of Tutoring Services provided (“Variation”), a change fee may be charged. All change fees are payable before any Variations will be accepted and performed.
You shall be responsible for all taxes associated with the Services.
Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or as expressly approved by Tutorleague in writing in its sole discretion, all payments made are final and non-refundable and the Subject shall not have the right to cancel its purchase for any reason. If you make a payment by credit card or other payment instrument, you represent and warrant to Company that such information is true and that you are authorized to use such payment instrument. You will promptly update your account information with any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur. You agree to pay Company the amount that is specified on the Site for Tutor Fees and in accordance with the terms of such fees and purchases and this Terms of Service.
Tutorleague will facilitate bi-monthly payment to a Tutor’s nominated bank account the total Tutor Fees accrued for the Tutoring Services provided to a Subject by such Tutor during the preceding payment period, less the fee payable to Tutorleague for referring the Subject(s) to such Tutor as set forth in terms provided to Tutors at the time of their onboarding or before offering them the new client opportunity (Tutorleague Fee”).
The Tutor shall not be entitled to charge the Subject directly a fee for his/her services. The tutoring charges shall be as determined by Tutorleague and mutually agreed between Subject, Tutorleague and tutor from time to time and such payments being made directly from Subject to Tutorleague. Tutorleague will pay the agreed charges to the Associate based on the effort signed off by the Subject in time sheets. Associate shall get the timesheet signed by the Subject on regular basis after the lessons and submit the signed time sheets to Tutorleague.
The tutor will submit an invoice (with ABN) to Tutorleague for the training services provided on a fortnightly basis, no later than by 6 pm every 2nd Thursday, including details of the number of lessons, total hours, time/date details of each session in the form of timesheet.
Tutorleague will pay the amount due to the Tutor fortnightly (every 2nd Friday) with the regular teacher period to the nominated bank account details submitted by the Tutor.
Tutorleague has sole discretion to act on behalf of the Subject, and to not pay Tutor Fees, if the Subject reports that the Tutor Services were not provided or adequately completed. This may include but is not limited to circumstances where a Tutor did not arrive for a Booking or the lesson was of insufficient quality as per the Subject’s feedback post the lesson. Tutorleague will independently review such cases, seeking input from the Subject and/or the Tutor in its sole discretion, and may decide at its sole discretion to issue a refund to the Subject.
Each Tutor appoints Tutorleague as the Tutor’s limited payment collection agent solely for the purpose of accepting the Tutoring Fees from the Subject. Each User agrees that payment of Tutor Fees in respect of a Tutor by a Subject to Tutorleague, as that Tutor’s limited payment collection agent, shall be considered the same as a payment made directly by that Subject to the relevant Tutor and the Tutor will provide the relevant Tutoring Services to the Subject, as outlined on the Site, as if the Tutor had received payment directly. Tutorleague, as limited payment collection agent for the Tutor, agrees to facilitate the payment of any Tutor Fees for Tutoring Services provided, on a bimonthly basis unless otherwise agreed between Tutorleague and the Tutor. In the event that Tutorleague does not remit such amounts, the Tutor will have recourse only against Tutorleague.

This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in this Terms of Service as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Tutorleague, whether arising out of or relating to this Terms of Service (including any alleged breach thereof), the Services, any advertising, any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into this Terms of Service, you and Tutorleague are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
YOU AND Tutorleague AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND Tutorleague AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING.

To the extent a court or the arbitrator determines that this class action waiver is invalid, for any reason, it shall not be severable from this Terms and the class or collective claims will be considered excluded claims that must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction Notwithstanding any other clause contained in this arbitration provision, any claim that all or part of the class action waiver is invalid, unenforceable void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. The class action waiver shall be severable when a dispute is filed as an individual action and severance is necessary to ensure that the individual action proceeds in arbitration.
Tutorleague is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at info@tutorleague.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Tutorleague should be sent to: PO Box 2173, Hornsby Westfield, Sydney NSW 1635 Australia (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Tutorleague and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Tutorleague may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Tutorleague or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Tutorleague is entitled.
Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) legislation. For information on the ACL, please visit its website, http://consumerlaw.gov.au. Information about the ACL legislation for consumer disputes can be found at the ACL’s legislation page, http://consumerlaw.gov.au/the-australian-consumer-law/legislation/. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the ACL Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms of Service as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under the Terms of Service and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
Unless Tutorleague and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination shall be made by ACL. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, Tutorleague agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the ACL Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the ACL Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the ACL Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. If the value of the relief sought is $25,000 or less, at your request, Tutorleague will pay all Arbitration Fees. If the value of relief sought is more than $25,000 and you are able to demonstrate to the arbitrator that you are economically unable to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees or if the arbitrator otherwise determines for any reason that you should not be required to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees, Tutorleague will pay your portion of such fees. In addition, if you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Tutorleague will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the ACL Rules.
All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the subsection (b) titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of subsection (b) above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void. The remainder of the Terms of Service will continue to apply.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Terms of Service to the contrary, Tutorleague agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Services, you may reject any such change by sending Tutorleague written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms of Service (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Service).
You agree that Tutorleague, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or use of the Service and remove and discard any content within the Service, for any reason, including, without limitation, for lack of use or if Tutorleague believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Service. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of your use of Service, may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. Tutorleague may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Service under any provision of this Terms of Service may be effected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that Tutorleague may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Service. Further, you agree that Tutorleague will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Service.

These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and Tutorleague and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and Tutorleague with respect to the Service. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate or third party services, third party content or third party software. These Terms of Service will be governed by the laws of the State of NSW without regard to its conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth above, you and Tutorleague agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts located within Sydney, NSW. The failure of Tutorleague to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms of Service remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or these Terms of Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of this agreement and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You may not assign this Terms of Service without the prior written consent of Tutorleague, but Tutorleague may assign or transfer this Terms of Service, in whole or in part, without restriction. The section titles in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Notices to you may be made via either email or regular mail. The Service may also provide notices to you of changes to these Terms of Service or other matters by displaying notices or links to notices generally on the Service.
