For the avoidance of doubt, Tutoring By A College Professor does not itself provide Tutoring Services to Students, but rather, matches, refers, and connects Students seeking academic support and Tutoring Services in selected areas with Tutors (the “Company’s Intermediary Services”).
These terms of use constitute a legally binding agreement (this “Agreement”) between You and Your Voice, LTD., an Ohio limited liability company (together with Tutoring By A College Professor, the “Company”) governing Your use of the Company’s Platform at https://tutoringprof.com/ (the “Website”) and any mobile or other applications, technology platforms, and any derivative or affiliated websites on which this Agreement is posted, linked, or referenced (“Apps”, together with the Website, the “Platform”). By entering this Agreement, You expressly agree and acknowledge that You understand this Agreement. You also expressly agree and acknowledge that by using and accessing the Platform and the Company’s Intermediary Services and Tutoring Services, and affirmatively checking the box next to “I Agree to the Terms of Use” or similar language, You have provided express written consent to the Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration provisions and consent to receive communications from the Company in connection with the Company’s Intermediary Services and the Tutoring Services (“Express Written Consent”). Further, by using and accessing the Platform and the Company’s Intermediary Services and Tutoring Services, and affirmatively checking the box next to “I Agree to the Terms of Use” or similar language, You hereby unequivocally and expressly agree to, and shall be subject to, the terms and provisions (“Terms”) of this Agreement. If You do not unequivocally agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, You may not use or otherwise access the Platform or the Company’s Intermediary Services, or the Tutoring Services.
The terms “You”, “Your”, “Yourself”, and “Student” refer to the individual Student Client, or parent or guardian of Student Client who is under the age of eighteen (18), seeking the Company’s Intermediary Services and Tutoring Services. The terms “You”, “Your”, and “Yourself” refer to Tutor, to the extent applicable. This Agreement supplements the independent contractor agreement (the “Independent Contractor Agreement”) between Tutor and Company and to the extent any provisions herein conflict with any provisions of the Independent Contractor Agreement, the terms of the Independent Contractor Agreement shall govern. The terms “Our” “Us’, and “We” refer to the Company.
Subject to the Terms set forth in this Agreement, the Company grants You a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable and non-sublicensable license solely in connection with Your permitted use of and access to the Platform as hereinafter described, and solely for Your own personal and non-commercial purposes. The Company reserves the right to revoke, terminate, or otherwise suspend this license at any time and for any reason.
The disclaimers, Terms, and conditions contained in this Agreement may be supplemented by an Independent Contractor Agreement and/or by additional policies, procedures, disclaimers, guidelines, rules, terms or conditions. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any additional policies, procedures, disclaimers, guidelines, rules, terms or conditions of specific application shall control.
Tutors and Tutoring Services
The Platform may be used to connect You with a Tutor who may provide Tutoring Services to You. The Company and its Platform 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 Platform 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. In addition, for Tutors, approved and permitted uses of the Platform include account setup.
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.

You understand and agree that, if Company sends You a communication but You do not receive it because your primary email address or phone number on file is incorrect, out of date, blocked by Your service provider, or You are otherwise unable to receive communications, Company will be deemed to have provided the communication to You.

Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this “Binding Arbitration” section will survive any termination of these Terms. You agree that any claim You may have arising out of, or related to Your use of Our Platform must be filed within one (1) year after such claim arose; otherwise, Your claim is permanently barred.
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.

Fees
Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules.
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, personal financial data, 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 Platform, 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.
