Teacher responsibilities: Each teacher is solely responsible for obtaining all licenses and other permissions required to offer or provide any lessons, and Connect Education assumes no responsibility for a Teacher's failure to obtain such licenses or permissions or otherwise comply with any applicable laws, rules or regulations.
You understand and agree that Connect Education is not an insurer, agent or employer for you as a teacher. If a parent purchases any of your lessons, any agreement you enter into with such parent is between you and the parent, and Connect Education is not a party thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Connect Education is authorized to serve as your limited agent purely for the purpose of accepting payments from Parents on your behalf and transmitting such payments to you (minus our Fees). You acknowledge and agree that, as a teacher, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions while using the services.
Parent payment: Each parent agrees to pay all applicable fees for Lessons (“enrollment fees”) as set forth on the site. All enrollment fees are payable in the currency specified on the Site at the time of purchase. Parent hereby authorizes Connect Education to bill parent’s payment instrument upon confirmation of a purchase, and parent further agrees to pay any charges so incurred. If Parent disputes any charges you must let Connect Education know within three (3) days after the date that Connect Education charges you.
Teacher Payment: Connect Education will transfer the enrollment fees to teacher’s payment account for each sale of a lesson (or set of Lessons, as applicable) to a parent within a reasonable period of time, minus Connect Education’s service fees (“Connect Education Fee”), according to the schedule and policies detailed in our FAQ. Teacher shall be responsible for all taxes associated with the services. In order to transfer funds to teacher’s payment account, teacher shall sign up for a payment account and provide payment account details to Connect Education. Connect Education has discretion to act on behalf of the parent, and to not transfer the enrollment fees to teacher, if parent reports that the lessons were not provided or adequately completed. This may include but is not limited to circumstances where a teacher did not arrive for a lesson or a lesson was of insufficient quality. Connect Education will independently review such cases, seeking input from the parent and/or the teacher, and may decide at its sole discretion to issue a refund to the parent. All determinations of Connect Education with respect to a refund shall be final and binding on the parent and teacher.
Limited payment collections agent: Each teacher appoints Connect Education as the teacher’s limited payment collection agent solely for the purpose of accepting the enrollment fees from Parent. Each User agrees that payment of enrollment fees by a parent to Connect Education, as that teacher’s limited payment collection agent, shall be considered the same as a payment made directly by such parent to the relevant teacher and the teacher will provide the relevant lessons to the parent, as outlined on the site, as if the Teacher had received payment directly. Connect Education, as limited payment collection agent for the teacher, agrees to facilitate the payment of any enrollment fees (less the Connect Education fee) for lessons pursuant to these terms of service unless otherwise agreed between Connect Education and the Teacher. In the event that Connect Education does not remit such amounts, the teacher will have recourse only against Connect Education.

Except as set forth below, you and we agree that we will resolve any disputes between us (including any disputes between you and a third-party agent of ours) through binding and final arbitration instead of through court proceedings. You and we hereby waive any right to a jury trial of any Claim (defined below). All controversies, claims, counterclaims, or other disputes between you and us or you and a third-party agent of ours (each a “Claim”) shall be submitted for binding arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA Rules”). The arbitration will be heard and determined by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator's decision in any such arbitration will be final and binding upon the parties and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and we agree that the arbitration proceedings will be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including, without limitation, any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged and any testimony or other oral submissions and awards) will not be disclosed beyond the arbitration proceedings, except as may lawfully be required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration, by applicable disclosure rules and regulations of securities regulatory authorities or other governmental agencies, or as specifically permitted by state law. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement. However, the Arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms including, but not limited to, a claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable.
If you demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, we will pay as much of the administrative costs and arbitrator's fees required for the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the cost of the arbitration from being prohibitive. In the final award, the arbitrator may apportion the costs of arbitration and the compensation of the arbitrator among the parties in such amounts as the arbitrator deems appropriate.
This arbitration agreement does not preclude either party from seeking action by federal, state, or local government agencies. You and we also have the right to bring qualifying claims in small claims court. In addition, you and we retain the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for provisional relief, including pre-arbitral attachments or preliminary injunctions, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with these Terms, nor a waiver of the right to have disputes submitted to arbitration as provided in these Terms.
Neither you nor we may act as a class representative or private attorney general, nor participate as a member of a class of claimants, with respect to any Claim. Claims may not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis. The arbitrator can decide only your and/or our individual Claims. The arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated. The arbitrator may award in the arbitration the same damages or other relief available under applicable law, including injunctive and declaratory relief, as if the action were brought in court on an individual basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing or herein, the arbitrator may not issue a “public injunction” and any such “public injunction” may be awarded only by a federal or state court. If either party seeks a “public injunction,” all other claims and prayers for relief must be adjudicated in arbitration first and any prayer or claim for a “public injunction” in federal or state court stayed until the arbitration is completed, after which the federal or state court can adjudicate the party’s claim or prayer for “public injunctive relief.” In doing so, the federal or state court is bound under principles of claim or issue preclusion by the decision of the arbitrator.
If any provision of this Section is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then that specific provision shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed, but the remainder of this Section shall continue in full force and effect. No waiver of any provision of this Section of the Terms will be effective or enforceable unless recorded in a writing signed by the party waiving such a right or requirement. Such a waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of these Terms. This Section of the Terms will survive the termination of your relationship with us.
THIS SECTION LIMITS CERTAIN RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO MAINTAIN A COURT ACTION, THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY FORM OF CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIM, THE RIGHT TO ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN AAA RULES, AND THE RIGHT TO CERTAIN REMEDIES AND FORMS OF RELIEF. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU OR WE WOULD HAVE IN COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.
You agree that you are solely responsible for your interactions with any other user in connection with the Service and Connect Education will have no liability or responsibility with respect thereto.
Connect Education reserves the right, but has no obligation, to become involved in any way it deems necessary with disputes between you and any other user of the Service.
These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and Connect Education and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and Connect Education 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.
Under no circumstances will we be held liable for any delay or failure in performance due in whole or in part to any acts of nature or other causes beyond our reasonable control.
These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario without giving effect to any conflict of laws rules or provisions. Without altering the arbitration requirement set forth above, in the event any action of whatever nature relating to these Terms, the Site, or Services must be filed in a court, we mutually agree that such action may only be brought exclusively in a court of competent jurisdiction in the Province of Ontario. You consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of any such action and agree not to challenge the personal jurisdiction or convenience of the forum.
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.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and will not affect the enforceability of any other provisions.
The failure by us to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not prevent us from enforcing such right or provision in the future.
You may not assign these Terms of Service without the prior written consent of Connect Education, but Connect Education may assign or transfer these Terms of Service, in whole or in part, without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets or equity, or by operation of law. 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.
From time to time, we may change these Terms. If we change these Terms, we will give you notice by posting the revised Terms on this page and will indicate at the top of this page the date these terms were last revised. We will also notify you, either through the Services user interface, in an email notification or through other reasonable means. Those changes will go into effect on the Revision Date shown in the revised Terms. By continuing to use the Services, you are agreeing to the revised Terms. You may be required to indicate accept of the changed Terms to continue use of the Services.
