1. Introduction
Welcome to TutorUkABC.com, the website and online service of TutorUkABC. (Hereinafter: “TutorUkABC”, “we” or “us”). This page explains the terms by which you may use our online services, software and website, provided on or in connection with the service (collectively the “Service”).
By accessing or using the Services, you signify that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) and to the collection and use of your information as set forth in our Privacy Policy, whether or not you are a registered user of our Service. This Agreement applies to all visitors, users, and others who access the Service (“Users”, “Teachers”, “Students” or “you”). If you do not understand any of the terms of this Agreement, please contact us before using the Services.
We may make changes to these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “last updated” date shown above. It is your responsibility to review these Terms frequently and to remain informed of any changes to them. The then-current version of these Terms will supersede all earlier versions. You agree that your continued use of our Services after such changes have been published to our Services will constitute your acceptance of such revised Terms. If you do not agree to any of these terms or any future Terms, do not use or access (or continue to access) the Service. If any clause or part of this Agreement is considered invalid by any court or arbitrator, this does not mean that the whole Agreement will be judged invalid.
THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A MANDATORY ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS, AND ALSO LIMITS THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO YOU IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE.
2. Provision of the Service
Who can use our Services:
You may use our Services only if you can form a binding contract with TutorUkABC, and only in compliance with these Terms and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules and regulations. Before using our Services, Users below the age of 18 must obtain express permission from a parent or legal guardian, which must be provided to TutorUkABC before providing data and commencing lessons. Users below the age of 18 should be supervised by a parent or legal guardian whilst taking lessons. Your right to use our Services is personal to you and is not transferable by you to any other person or entity. TutorUkABC reserves the right to terminate your use of its services, for example if you demonstrate abusive or inappropriate behaviour towards another User.
TutorUkABC provides an online venue for language learning where Users, Students can take advantage of the services (collectively, the “Services”). The Services provided are as follows:
Payment Services. TutorUkABC** provides Payment Services to Users. Students are able to purchase lesson credits, which they can then apply in the booking system in order to schedule lessons on TutorUkABC.
THE SITE AND SERVICES ARE INTENDED TO BE USED TO BOOKING LESSONS DIRECTLY ON TUTORUKABC. TUTORUKABC IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR AND DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY RELATED TO ANY AND ALL LESSONS. ACCORDINGLY, ANY PAYMENT SERVICES WILL BE MADE OR ACCEPTED AT THE USER’S OWN RISK. TUTORUKABC HAS NO CONTROL OVER THE CONDUCT OF ITS USERS AND DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY IN THIS REGARD TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
3. Booking Policies & Resolving Disputes
A lesson can be cancelled or rescheduled by the Student if at least 12 hours are remaining until it is due to begin. The Student must reschedule/cancel the lesson via the booking system. If they cannot see how to do this, they should consult the instructions found on the Site’s Help & FAQs page. When there are less than 12 hours remaining until the lesson is due to begin, the Student does NOT have the right to cancel or reschedule and the lesson credit cannot be returned. This policy exists for the protection of Teacher’s working conditions. Teachers are able to make exceptions if they wish, however they are under no obligation to do so.
If the Student misses their lesson, they will not be able to reschedule or cancel it and their lesson credit will be lost. Lessons scheduled during local holidays will not be cancelled automatically – it is the responsibility of the Student to make any necessary changes to their bookings.
If there is a dispute between Student and Teacher, TutorUkABC will gather all records of communication available in order to determine how to adjudicate the dispute. TutorUkABC shall have the right to transfer credits, offer a refund, or reverse a transaction. TutorUkABC shall also have the right to designate who shall bear the expenses resulting from any such actions.
4. Contests, Sweepstakes and Promotions
Any contests, sweepstakes or other promotions (collectively, “Promotions”) made available through Service may be governed by rules that are separate from these Terms of Service. If you participate in any Promotions, please review the applicable rules as well as our Privacy Policy. If the rules for a Promotion conflict with these Terms of Service, Promotion rules will apply.
5. Payment and Refunds
If a Student wishes to book lessons on TutorUkABC, they can purchase lesson credits in Euros. As stated elsewhere on the website, lesson credits are valid for 12个月 from the day of purchase for the smaller packages (5, 10, 20 and 40) and 24个月 from the day of puchase for the larger packages (80 and 160). Please note that whilst Students need to schedule lessons in the booking system within 12 months (or 24 months for the larger packages), the lessons can potentially be taken a few weeks after the expiry if the Teacher has availability. The expiry refers to when you schedule lessons in the system, not when they’re taken.
Lesson credits are valid only in exchange for lessons taken on TutorUkABC and may not be exchanged for cash.
All prices stated exclude any additional charges such as fees, taxes or interest charged by the Student’s bank or credit card company. These charges are the sole responsibility of the Student. The prices stated also do not include any costs associated with connecting to the internet.
Students are able to receive a refund of their balance if they contact TutorUkAbc’s support team (tutorukabc@outlook.com) to request their refund within 30 days of purchase. The refunded amount will equal the value of the remaining balance in Euros, minus payment processing fees that are not returned by our payment provider, Stripe. If your bank account is in a currency other than Euros, you may receive less than you paid due to currency conversion costs and changes in the exchange rate.
To redeem a trial session for free, you may be required to provide valid card information. At this point, your card will not be charged – the information is only used to verify your identity & limit free trial sessions to one per student. When you make a payment, you’ll have the option to save your card details. If you select this option, our payment provider, Stripe, will store your card details securely to save you time if you choose to make further payments. Stripe has been audited by a PCI-certified auditor and is certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1. This is the most stringent level of certification available in the payments industry. You may contact our support team if you wish to remove a card from Stripe’s servers.
6. Managing Your Information
It is the sole responsibility of each User to ensure that all personal details (e.g. contact details, payment details) are up to date and accurate at all times. By accepting these Terms, you hereby release TutorUkABC from any claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, which arise due to inaccurate personal information being held on the site or being supplied to TutorUkABC staff. You are also responsible for safeguarding your account password. You agree that you will not disclose your password to any third party and that you will take sole responsibility for any activities or actions under your TutorUkABC account, whether or not you have authorised such activities or actions. You will immediately notify TutorUkABC’s support team of any unauthorised use of your account or lesson credits.
7. Technical Requirements
The Student is responsible for ensuring they have 1) a sufficiently fast and reliable internet connection and 2) the necessary software and hardware for learning via TutorUkABC. This includes a ZOOM account and the necessary audio equipment. If a lesson is disrupted or cannot go ahead as a result of technical issues from the Student’s side, the Teacher has the right to charge for the lesson. If the Teacher has technical issues, the lesson must be marked as Not Complete in the booking system within 48 hours so that the student’s funds are returned to their available balance.
8. Trial Sessions
Students may book a “Trial Session” with TutorUkABC. New students are given a free token for one Trial Session when they create an account. Abuse of the trial system, for example by creating multiple accounts and taking multiple free trial sessions, may result in the student’s accounts being suspended and the student being banned from using TutorUkABC’s Services. Students may only book one Trial Session with the Teacher. Trial Sessions last approximately 25 minutes and are not intended to be a lesson but rather for the Teacher and Student to get to know each other. After taking this a Trial Session, the Student can decide, without commitment or obligation of making a purchase, whether to proceed with purchasing lessons.
