If you access the Services through a social network service (“SNS”) as part of the functionality of the Services, you may link your Account with a SNS, by allowing Littera to access your SNS, as is permitted under the applicable terms and conditions that govern your use of each SNS. You represent that you are entitled to grant Littera access to your SNS account (including, for the purposes described herein) without breach by you of any of the terms and conditions that govern your use of the applicable SNS. By granting Littera access to any SNS accounts, you understand that Littera may access, make available and store (if applicable) any information, data, text, software, music, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages, tags and/or other materials accessible through the Services that you have provided to and stored in your SNS account (“SNS Content”) so that it is available on and through the Services.

Littera is not responsible for any SNS Content, including but not limited to, accuracy or legality of, or infringement by, the SNS Content.

You hereby irrevocably waive (and agree to cause to be waived) any claims and assertions of moral rights or attribution with respect to your User Content.

6.3 Enforcement. We reserve the right (but have no obligation) to review any User Content, and to investigate and/or take appropriate action against you in our sole discretion if you violate Section 7 or any other provision of the Agreement or otherwise create liability for us or any other person.

For contractual purposes, you (a) consent to receive communications from Littera in an electronic form; and (b) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that Littera provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if they were to be in a hardcopy writing.

16.1 Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. Subject to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, you and Littera agree that any dispute, claim, or disagreement arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Services, any communications you receive, any products sold or distributed through the Services, or the Terms, including claims and disputes that arose between us before the effective date of these Terms (each, a “Dispute”) will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that: (1) you and Littera may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if such claims qualify and remain in small claims court; and (2) you or Littera may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). For purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, “Dispute” will also include disputes that arose or involve facts occurring before the existence of this or any prior versions of the Terms as well as claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms.

16.2 Informal Dispute Resolution. There may be instances when a Dispute arises between you and Littera. If that occurs, Littera is committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution. You and Littera agree that good faith informal efforts to resolve Disputes can result in a prompt, low‐cost and mutually beneficial outcome. You and Littera therefore agree that before either party commences arbitration against the other (or initiates an action in small claims court if a party so elects), we will personally meet and confer telephonically or via videoconference, in a good faith effort to resolve informally any Dispute covered by this Arbitration Agreement (“Informal Dispute Resolution Conference”). If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you also agree to participate in the conference.

The party initiating a Dispute must give notice to the other party in writing of its intent to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference (“Notice”), which shall occur within 45 days after the other party receives such Notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing. Notice to Littera that you intend to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference should be sent by email to info@litteraeducation.com or regular mail to our offices located at Littera Education Inc., 166 Maloney Road, Wappingers Falls, New York, 12590. The Notice must include: (1) your name, telephone number, mailing address, e‐mail address associated with your account (if you have one); (2) the name, telephone number, mailing address and e‐mail address of your counsel, if any; and (3) a description of your Dispute.

The Informal Dispute Resolution Conference shall be individualized such that a separate conference must be held each time either party initiates a Dispute, even if the same law firm or group of law firms represents multiple users in similar cases, unless all parties agree; multiple individuals initiating a Dispute cannot participate in the same Informal Dispute Resolution Conference unless all parties agree. In the time between a party receiving the Notice and the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference, nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall prohibit the parties from engaging in informal communications to resolve the initiating party’s Dispute. Engaging in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference is a condition precedent and requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing arbitration. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference process required by this section.

16.3 Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND LITTERA HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Littera are instead electing that all Disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in the subsection entitled “Applicability of Arbitration Agreement” above. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.

16.4 Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief. YOU AND LITTERA AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN SUBSECTION 16.9 (BATCH ARBITRATION), EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BE BROUGHT, HEARD, ADMINISTERED, RESOLVED, OR ARBITRATED ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR MASS ACTION BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND DISPUTES OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. Subject to this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the party's individual claim. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to, nor shall it, affect the terms and conditions under the subsection 16.9 (Batch Arbitration) entitled “Batch Arbitration.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Arbitration Agreement, if a court decides by means of a final decision, not subject to any further appeal or recourse, that the limitations of this subsection, “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief,” are invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), you and Littera agree that that particular claim or request for relief (and only that particular claim or request for relief) shall be severed from the arbitration and may be litigated in the state or federal courts located in Wappingers Falls, New York. All other Disputes shall be arbitrated or litigated in small claims court. This subsection does not prevent you or Littera from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.

16.5 Rules and Forum. These Terms evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce; and notwithstanding any other provision herein with respect to the applicable substantive law, the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement and any arbitration proceedings. If the Informal Dispute Resolution Process described above does not resolve satisfactorily within sixty (60) days after receipt of Notice, you and Littera agree that either party shall have the right to finally resolve the Dispute through binding arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims, counterclaims, or request for relief under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other disputes shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. Your responsibility to pay any JAMS fees and costs will be solely as set forth in the applicable JAMS rules.

A party who wishes to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a request for arbitration (the “Request”). The Request must include: (1) the name, telephone number, mailing address, e‐mail address of the party seeking arbitration and the account username (if applicable) as well as the email address associated with any applicable account; (2) a statement of the legal claims being asserted and the factual bases of those claims; (3) a description of the remedy sought and an accurate, good‐faith calculation of the amount in controversy in United States Dollars; (4) a statement certifying completion of the Informal Dispute Resolution process as described above; and (5) evidence that the requesting party has paid any necessary filing fees in connection with such arbitration.

If the party requesting arbitration is represented by counsel, the Request shall also include counsel’s name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address. Such counsel must also sign the Request. By signing the Request, counsel certifies to the best of counsel’s knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances, that: (1) the Request is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution; (2) the claims, defenses and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law; and (3) the factual and damages contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery.

Unless you and otherwise agree, or the Batch Arbitration process discussed in subsection 16.9 (Batch Arbitration) is triggered, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. Subject to the applicable JAMS rules, the arbitrator may direct a limited and reasonable exchange of information between the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

You and Littera agree that all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings shall be kept confidential and shall not be shared with anyone except the parties’ attorneys, accountants, or business advisors, and then subject to the condition that they agree to keep all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings confidential.

16.6 Arbitrator. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of New York and will be selected by the parties from the JAMS roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within thirty-five (35) days of delivery of the Request, then JAMS will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the applicable JAMS rules, provided that if the Batch Arbitration process under subsection 16.9 (Batch Arbitration) is triggered, JAMS will appoint the arbitrator for each batch.

16.7 Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, including, without limitation, disputes arising out of or related to the interpretation or application of the Arbitration Agreement, including the enforceability, revocability, scope, or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or any portion of the Arbitration Agreement, except for the following: (1) all Disputes arising out of or relating to the subsection entitled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief,” including any claim that all or part of the subsection entitled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief” is unenforceable, illegal, void or voidable, or that such subsection entitled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief” has been breached, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; (2) except as expressly contemplated in the subsection entitled “Batch Arbitration,” all Disputes about the payment of arbitration fees shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; (3) all Disputes about whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; and (4) all Disputes about which version of the Arbitration Agreement applies shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties, except as expressly provided in the subsection entitled “Batch Arbitration.” The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any Dispute. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

16.8 Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. The parties shall bear their own attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the Dispute or the relief sought in the Request was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). If you or Littera need to invoke the authority of a court of competent jurisdiction to compel arbitration, then the party that obtains an order compelling arbitration in such action shall have the right to collect from the other party its reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in securing an order compelling arbitration. The prevailing party in any court action relating to whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration, including the Informal Dispute Resolution Process, is entitled to recover their reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

16.9 Batch Arbitration. To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and Littera agree that in the event that there are one hundred (100) or more individual Requests of a substantially similar nature filed against Littera by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations, within a thirty (30) day period (or as soon as possible thereafter), JAMS shall (1) administer the arbitration demands in batches of 100 Requests per batch (plus, to the extent there are less than 100 Requests left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining Requests); (2) appoint one arbitrator for each batch; and (3) provide for the resolution of each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees due per side per batch, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator, and one final award (“Batch Arbitration”).

All parties agree that Requests are of a “substantially similar nature” if they arise out of or relate to the same event or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. To the extent the parties disagree on the application of the Batch Arbitration process, the disagreeing party shall advise JAMS, and JAMS shall appoint a sole standing arbitrator to determine the applicability of the Batch Arbitration process (“Administrative Arbitrator”). In an effort to expedite resolution of any such dispute by the Administrative Arbitrator, the parties agree the Administrative Arbitrator may set forth such procedures as are necessary to resolve any disputes promptly. The Administrative Arbitrator’s fees shall be paid by Littera.

You and Littera agree to cooperate in good faith with JAMS to implement the Batch Arbitration process including the payment of single filing and administrative fees for batches of Requests, as well as any steps to minimize the time and costs of arbitration, which may include: (1) the appointment of a discovery special master to assist the arbitrator in the resolution of discovery disputes; and (2) the adoption of an expedited calendar of the arbitration proceedings. This Batch Arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class, collective and/or mass arbitration or action of any kind, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances, except as expressly set forth in this provision.

16.10 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: Littera Education Inc., 166 Maloney Road, Wappingers Falls, New York, 12590, within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, the email address you used to set up your Littera account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of these Terms of Service will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.

16.11 Invalidity, Expiration. Except as provided in the subsection entitled “Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief”, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. You further agree that any Dispute that you have with Littera as detailed in this Arbitration Agreement must be initiated via arbitration within the applicable statute of limitation for that claim or controversy, or it will be forever time barred. Likewise, you agree that all applicable statutes of limitation will apply to such arbitration in the same manner as those statutes of limitation would apply in the applicable court of competent jurisdiction.

16.12 Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, we agree that if Littera makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, it will notify you. Unless you reject the change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing to Littera at: Littera Education Inc., 166 Maloney Road, Wappingers Falls, New York, 12590, your continued use of the Services, including the acceptance of products and services offered on or through the Services, following the posting of changes to this Arbitration Agreement constitutes your acceptance of any such changes. Changes to this Arbitration Agreement do not provide you with a new opportunity to opt out of the Arbitration Agreement if you have previously agreed to a version of these Terms and did not validly opt out of arbitration. If you reject any change or update to this Arbitration Agreement, and you were bound by an existing agreement to arbitrate Disputes arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Services, any communications you receive, any products sold or distributed through the Services or the Agreement, the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms) remain in full force and effect. Littera will continue to honor any valid opt outs of the Arbitration Agreement that you made to a prior version of these Terms.

17.1 Electronic Communications. The communications between you and Littera may take place via electronic means, whether you visit the Services or send Littera e-mails, or whether Littera posts notices on the Services or communicates with you via e-mail. For contractual purposes, you (a) consent to receive communications from Littera in an electronic form; and (b) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that Littera provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if it were to be in writing. The foregoing does not affect your statutory rights, including but not limited to the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act at 15 U.S.C. §7001 et seq.

17.2 Accessing and Downloading the Application from iTunes. You acknowledge and agree that the availability of certain aspects of any Application we provide as part of the Services is dependent on the third party from whom you received the Application license, e.g., the Apple App Store or Google Play (the “App Store”). The following applies to any App Store Sourced Application accessed through or downloaded from the Apple App Store:

17.3 Assignment. The Agreement, and your rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated or otherwise transferred by you without Littera’ prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void.

17.4 Force Majeure.

1.1. Operation and Access. Littera operates the Private Tutoring Marketplace (the “Marketplace”) as part of its TutorMatching Service Platform. Through the Marketplace, Littera enables third-party tutors who use the Marketplace (“Tutor Users”) to offer virtual or in-person subject-specific tutoring services (“Tutoring Services”) to students and other learners who use the Marketplace to search for and engage Tutor Users whose Tutoring Services meet their needs (such students and learners who use the Marketplace, the “Student Users”). Tutor Users advertise their subject matter expertise, experience and other credentials as well as availability in publicly displayed profiles (each, a “User Profile”), which Student Users can search to find the right fit (by filtering their searches based on different criteria, including subject of interest, applicable course code, Tutor User availability, and pricing). Student Users can then reserve a tutoring session by selecting an available time on the selected Tutor User’s User Profile.

You may access the Marketplace as a Public User who accesses the Marketplace as a tutor, student or Parent via the publicly accessible website located at TutorMatchingService.com (or its successor website) or as an Enterprise User who accesses a School-Branded version of the Private Tutoring Marketplace pursuant to an Enterprise Customer’s license to the TutorMatching Service Platform. If you access a School-Branded version of the Marketplace, you will have access to an online tutoring environment facilitated by an Enterprise Customer. In either case, as a Tutor User, can create a User Profile on the Marketplace so that Student Users can search for you and reserve a tutoring session, and as a Student User, you can use the Marketplace to search for tutors and can reserve individual sessions to obtain Tutoring Services based on a selected Tutor User’s availability. Please review our FAQs for more details on the Tutoring Services.

LITTERA’S RESPONSIBILITY TO ANY AND ALL USERS ON THE MARKETPLACE IS LIMITED TO OPERATING THE MARKETPLACE TO CONNECT USERS INTENDING TO RECEIVE AND PERFORM TUTORING SERVICES.

1.2. Registration and Accounts, Profiles, and Parental/Guardian Verification.

1. Account Creation. Users of all ages, including children under the age of thirteen (13), may access and use the Marketplace. To access and use the Marketplace, a User must first create an Account on the TutorMatching Service Platform. Account creation and use are subject to the terms of this Section 1.1 and the terms of the Registration and Accounts section in the Littera Terms of Use. As part of the Account registration process, each User must supply valid payment card information; for any User who is a child under the age of thirteen (13), the payment card information must be supplied by such User’s parent/guardian (“Parent”), must be the payment card information of that Parent, and the Parent must also provide their name and email address. By entering your card payment information (or if you are a child under the age of thirteen (13), having your Parent enter their payment card information), you authorize Littera to charge that payment card information promptly upon the creation of your Account in the amount presented to you at the point of your Account creation (“Verification Charge”). Once the Verification Charge goes through, it will be applied to the User’s Account for use toward future purchases of Tutoring Services.
2. Parental/Guardian Consent for Users under Thirteen (13). Under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), Littera is required to obtain verifiable parental/guardian consent before collecting any personal information from a child under the age of thirteen (13). For each User under the age of thirteen (13), Littera uses the Verification Charge charged to the Parent’s card under Section 1.1(a) to verify such parental/guardian consent for the User. For more information about how Littera processes personal information about Users, please review our Privacy Policy
3. Profiles. As part of creating an Account, you will create a User Profile which, if you are a Tutor User, will be made visible to other Users on the Marketplace. You may update your User Profile at any time by logging into your Account and making the change there.

2.1. Tutor User Responsibilities and Commitments. If you are a Tutor User, the following covenants, representations, and terms set forth in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 apply to you:

1. By agreeing to the terms of these Supplemental Terms and under penalty of perjury, you affirm that you are self-employed, and provide services as a tutor separate and independent from Littera, and that you hold yourself out to the public as independently competent and available to provide the services you provide, including the Tutoring Services you make available through the Marketplace. Without limiting the foregoing, as an independent tutor, you maintain complete control over your level of participation in the Marketplace, including by: (i) deciding when to log into the Marketplace and be available to provide Tutoring Services; (ii) deciding when to accept, reject or ignore requests for Tutoring Services; (iii) selecting your attire – no uniforms or other specific clothes are required; (iv) determining the time and location of your Tutoring Services; (v) using competitive services or technology platforms; (f) maintaining your independent business (if you have one) and other clients without using the Marketplace; (vi) resolving any disputes with Student Users directly; (vii) controlling the amount you wish to invest in providing Tutoring Services in connection with the Marketplace; and (viii) controlling your provision of Tutoring Services. In addition, you acknowledge that your opportunity for profit or loss through use of the Marketplace is dependent on your tutoring skills.
2. You represent that all information provided by you in connection with your registration and Account, including in your User Profile, is accurate and complies with relevant law, and that you will immediately notify Littera of any change in contact, certification, or licensing information.
3. You assume complete responsibility for all Tutoring Services you provide to Student Users, including your treatment of such Student Users, and for compliance with all laws, regulations, and professional ethical guidelines and standards pertaining to your provision of Tutoring Services and interactions with Student Users.
4. You shall not represent yourself to any Student Users or other Users of the Marketplace that you are an employee, contractor or agent of Littera.
5. You agree that, as a condition of offering your Tutoring Services on the Marketplace, your Tutoring Services are subject to terms of the quality guarantee described in Section 2.3. If a Student User provides Littera with a valid claim under the TMS Quality Guarantee in accordance with the terms of Section 2.3, Littera will issue a refund to the Student User’s Payment Method, and you will owe Littera the amount of the payment for the services performed, which may be offset against settlement funds due to you in accordance with the terms of these Supplemental Terms.
6. To receive payment of your Tutor Fee (as defined herein), you must provide Littera with a valid method of receiving payment (e.g., bank account, PayPal account, or any other method accepted by Littera) (your “Payout Method”), as prompted by Littera when you register your Account on the Platform.
7. You appoint Littera as your limited payments agent for the sole purpose of receiving, holding and settling payments due to you for your Tutoring Services that were reserved and paid for by Student Users in accordance with Section 4.4, below. Littera will settle payments that are actually received by Littera (from Student Users) to you, less any amounts owed to Littera, including without limitation, the Marketplace Fee. You agree that a payment received by Littera, on your behalf as a Tutor User, satisfies a Student User’s obligation to make payment to you, regardless of whether Littera actually settles such payment to you (including, without limitation, if Littera does not settle the payment to you as a result of a valid TMS Quality Guarantee claim). If Littera does not settle any such payments as described in this Agreement to you, such you will have recourse only against Littera and not the Student User, as payment is deemed made by the Student User to you upon constructive or actual receipt of funds by Littera. You acknowledge and agree that in accepting this appointment as your limited payments agent, Littera assumes no liability, and hereby disclaims all liability that may arise from any acts or omission by you, and you understand that Littera’s obligation to settle funds to you is subject to and conditional upon the Student User’s actual payment and any valid TMS Quality Guarantee claims.

2.2. No Employment Relationship. Neither these Supplemental Terms nor your performance hereunder creates an association, partnership, joint venture or relationship of principal and agent (other than the limited agency appointment as set forth in section 2.1(g), above), or employer or employee, between Littera and you, or between Littera and your employees and agents. You and Littera each agree that you (and your employees and agents, if applicable) will not receive any Littera-sponsored benefits from Littera where benefits include, but are not limited to, paid vacation, sick leave, medical insurance and 401k participation. If you, your employees or agents, are reclassified by a state or federal agency or court as Littera’s employee, you, and your employees or agents, as applicable, will become a reclassified employee and will receive no benefits from Littera, except those mandated by state or federal law, even if the terms of Littera’s benefit plans or programs in effect at the time of such reclassification would otherwise render you, or your employees or agents as eligible for such benefits. You acknowledge that it is your sole responsibility for complying with all federal, state and local tax filing and payment obligations that pertain to any remuneration received in connection with performing Tutoring Services as processed by Littera in connection with this Agreement, including your sole responsibility for all tax withholding, Social Security, Worker’s Compensation Insurance, FICA, unemployment compensation, medical insurance, life insurance, paid vacations, paid holidays, pensions and other obligations or benefits (collectively “Remuneration Responsibilities”) and you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Littera in respect of any claims that may be made by the relevant authorities against Littera in respect of Remuneration Responsibilities, or similar relating to the Tutoring Services. You acknowledge that Littera is not rendering legal, tax or investment advice, nor is Littera a fiduciary of yours. Accordingly, you acknowledge that you may seek advice from an appropriate professional to comply with any and all applicable federal, state and local laws or ordinances.

2.3. TMS Quality Guarantee. Tutoring Services purchased through the Marketplace are subject to a quality guarantee. If you are a Student User and are not satisfied with the quality of the Tutoring Services performed by the Tutor User during a specific tutoring session, you are entitled to a refund of the fees you paid for the session, provided that you notify Littera of your dissatisfaction at help@tutormatchingservice.com within forty-eight (48) hours after the scheduled completion of the tutoring session. If Littera receives your claim within such 48-hour period, Littera will promptly issue you a refund in the amount charged for the session. If you do not provide notice of your claim within such 48-hour period, you will not be eligible for a refund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will any Student User be entitled to a refund under this Section 2.3 for Tutoring Services performed by a Tutor User for whom that Student User previously requested and received a refund pursuant to the TMS Quality Guarantee

2.4. Cancellations.

1. You, as a Tutor User:
1. You may cancel a Tutoring Services session twenty-four (24) or more prior to the time the session was scheduled to commence provided that in such event, you will not receive payment for such canceled session. For any cancellation made by you less than twenty-four (24) hours in advance of the time the session was scheduled to commence, Littera may, in its sole discretion and in addition to exercising any additional remedies available to it, terminate this Agreement effective upon notice to you.
2. If a Student User cancels a Tutoring Services session twenty-four (24) hours or more prior to the time the session was scheduled to commence, the Student User will not be charged for such session, and you will not receive payment for your Tutor Fee for such session. If a Student User cancels a tutoring session less than twenty-four (24) hours prior to the time the session was scheduled to commence, you will receive full payment for the scheduled session.
2. You, as a Student User:
1. You may cancel a Tutoring Services session without incurring a charge by canceling the session twenty-four (24) hours or more prior to the time the session was scheduled to commence. If you cancel a session less than twenty-four (24) hours prior to the time the session was scheduled to commence, Littera will charge you a cancellation fee equal to the full amount of the session you canceled (the “Cancellation Fee”) to your Payment Method (as defined herein). You can cancel a Tutoring Services session on the Marketplace by visiting your Account, selecting the Tutoring Services session you wish to cancel, and clicking the “Cancel” button.
2. If your Tutor User cancels a scheduled tutoring session, then Littera will refund any charges you may have incurred in connection with such tutoring session.

2.5. Deactivating Account. You may deactivate your Account at any time by adjusting your Account settings on the Platform, or upon providing written notice to Littera at help@tutormatchingservice.com that you desire for your Account to be deactivated (to “Deactivate” or the act of “Deactivation”). Such Deactivation will result in termination of your Account and immediate suspension of all upcoming Tutoring Services that are scheduled to occur after such notice of Deactivation is sent to Littera. If you are a Student User, we will charge your preferred Payment Method for any applicable Cancellation Fees or any other outstanding Fees (each as defined below) you accrued in connection with your Account promptly following our receipt of your written notice to Deactivate. If you are a Tutor User, after receipt of written notice to Deactivate, we will settle to your Payout Method any Fees earned in connection with Tutoring Services you provided prior to the date of your Deactivation. You must create a new Account to provide or reserve future Tutoring Services after Deactivation.

4.1. Fees. If you are a Student User, you agree to pay all fees associated with your Account, including but not limited to any applicable Marketplace Fee, the Tutor Fees, and Cancellation Fees (each, as defined herein and collectively, the “Fees”). If you are a Student User, the total Fees owed by you for individual Tutoring Service sessions will be presented to you at the time you select a Tutor User and reserve Tutoring Services on the Marketplace. The Fees charged for each individual Tutoring Services session are based on the hourly rate of the Tutor User you have selected for the Tutoring Services and the length of the tutoring session you have reserved (the “Tutor Fee”) plus a Marketplace Fee (as defined herein) applied by Littera. The Tutor Fee is processed by Littera on behalf of the Tutor User and payment of the Tutor Fee to Littera is deemed payment to the Tutor User in accordance with the terms of Section 2.1(g), above. The “Marketplace Fee” is the standard service fee charged by Littera for the hosting and operation of the Marketplace that is in effect when you reserve a Tutor Services session, which fee is added to the Tutor Fee. The Marketplace Fee is calculated in accordance with Littera’s current pricing practices located at https://tutormatchingservice.com/#/about/faq. The fees associated with cancellation of any Tutoring Services (“Cancellation Fees”) for Student Users or for Tutors Users are as set forth in Section 2.4 above.

4.2. Vouchers. If you are an Enterprise User, the Enterprise Customer with whom you are associated may issue payment vouchers or credits (“Vouchers”) to your Account for use as payment for Tutoring Services reserved on the School-Branded version of the Marketplace facilitated by that Enterprise Customer. Vouchers are not gift cards or gift certificates; they do not constitute property, do not entitle you to a vested right or interest and have no cash value. Therefore, Vouchers are not redeemable for cash, transferable, salable or assignable for any reason. No cash will be exchanged for the unused portion of any Vouchers credited to your Account.

4.3. Booking and Payment. While all payments for Tutoring Services purchased through the Marketplace must be made through the Marketplace, Littera is not a party to the transaction between Student Users and Tutor Users. When a Student User reserves Tutoring Services from a Tutor User on the Marketplace, that Student User contracts directly with the Tutor User offering the Tutoring Services for the purchase of such services. Littera merely facilitates the transaction as the provider of the Marketplace and by acting as a limited payments agent for the Tutor User. If you are a Student User who reserves Tutoring Services from a Tutor User, you must enter your payment card information or, if applicable, your Voucher information (“Payment Method”). When you reserve Tutoring Services on the Marketplace, Littera may pre-authorize your Payment Method. By completing a transaction to engage a Tutor User for Tutoring Services, you authorize Littera to charge your Payment Method in accordance with this Section 4.3. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO USE ANY PAYMENT METHOD USED TO PAY ANY FEES AND THAT YOU WILL NOT USE ANY PAYMENT METHOD UNLESS YOU ARE AUTHORIZED TO DO SO.

4.4. Tutor Fee. If you are a Tutor User who has provided Tutoring Services to a Student User through the Marketplace in accordance with these Supplemental Terms, then Littera will initiate an electronic transfer of funds to your Payout Method in an amount equal to your Tutor Fee generally within two business days after the end of the completed Tutoring Services session, but in no event more than one week after the end of the completed Tutoring Services session, subject to these Supplemental Terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Littera will offset against any settlement amount owed to you any refunds issued to Student Users in accordance with the TMS Quality Guarantee. Additionally, Littera reserves the right to manage the risks associated with providing the Marketplace by placing restrictions on the settlement of funds to you when Littera deems it is necessary. For example, a hold may be placed if we have reason to believe there is an increased risk of chargebacks, disputes, or return requests relating to the Tutoring Services, or if you are a new Tutor User or there have been prior complaints or disputes relating to your Tutoring Services provided by you. To the extent you dispute any payment or failure to pay for your Tutoring Services as a result of a Student User claim for poor quality services under the TMS Quality Guarantee, you agree that your recourse is only against Littera and not the Student User, as the Student’s payment is deemed made by Student User to Tutor User upon constructive or actual receipt of funds by Littera. For the avoidance of doubt, Littera itself does not process the transmission of funds on behalf of Student Users in connection with transactions facilitated through the Marketplace and therefore collects no fees for money transmission services as part of the Marketplace Fees or otherwise.

4.5. Third-Party Payment Processors. Littera uses Stripe, Inc., PayPal, Inc., and their respective affiliates as third-party service providers for payment services (e.g., card acceptance, merchant settlement, and related services) (each, a “Third-Party Service Provider”). By purchasing Tutoring Services, you agree to be bound by the privacy policy and terms of service of the Third-Party Service Provider you have selected (Stripe’s Privacy Policy is currently accessible at https://stripe.com/us/privacy and its Terms of Service agreement is currently accessible at https://stripe.com/ssa, and PayPal’s Privacy Policy is currently accessible at https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full and its User Agreement is currently accessible at https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full?locale.x=en_US). You hereby consent and authorize Littera and either of our Third-Party Service Providers to share any information and payment instructions you provide to the minimum extent required to complete your transactions.

4.6. Refunds. Subject to the TMS Quality Guarantee described in Section 2.3, Littera has no obligation to provide refunds or credits, but may grant them in extenuating circumstances, as a result of specific refund guarantee promotions, or to correct any errors made by Littera, in each case in Littera’s sole discretion.

4.7. Taxes. The amounts paid under these Supplemental Terms do not include any Sales Tax that may be due in connection with your transactions made through the Marketplace (for Tutoring Services delivered by Tutor Users) or Littera’s provision of access to and operation of the Marketplace hereunder. If Littera determines it has a legal obligation to collect Sales Tax from a User in connection with these Supplemental Terms, Littera shall collect such Sales Tax in addition to the amounts required under these Supplemental Terms. If any transactions made through the Marketplace or your use of the Marketplace under these Supplemental Terms is subject to Sales Tax in any jurisdiction and you have not remitted the applicable Sales Tax to Littera, you will be responsible for the payment of such Sales Tax and any related penalties or interest to the relevant tax authority, and you will indemnify Littera for any liability or expense Littera may incur in connection with such Sales Taxes. Upon Littera’s request, you will provide it with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence that you have paid all applicable taxes. For purposes of this section, “Sales Tax” shall mean any sales, use, excise, services or other tax measured by the value of sales or services.
