Providing the Services, Treasure Learning is acting as an on-demand intermediary connecting Students and Tutors and providing the tools to facilitate the tutoring services. You acknowledge and agree that Treasure Learning is a technology services provider that does not provide online tutoring services or function as a language learning school.
Treasure Learning does not serve as an employer of any User unless separately subject to a signed, written employment contract signed by both the User and Treasure Learning. Users may use the Services only for the provision and receipt of the tutoring services subject to these Terms.
As such, Treasure Learning will not be liable for any tax or withholding, including but not limited to unemployment insurance, employer’s liability, workers’ compensation insurance, social security, or payroll withholding tax in connection with your use of Services. You are solely responsible for adhering to all applicable tax regulations that may apply in connection with your use of the Services. You hereby agree to compensate Treasure Learning for all state fees, claims, payments, fines, or other tax liabilities that Treasure Learning will incur in connection with the obligations arising from applicable tax or other regulations not being met by you.
In all cases of use of the Treasure Learning Platform, Users are acting as independent contractors and not as Treasure Learning’s or any other party’s employee, agent, franchisee, or servant. Accordingly, you will be solely responsible for all costs incurred by you or your organization. You may not act as an employee, agent, or representative of Treasure Learning nor bind any contract on behalf of Treasure Learning. Where, by implication of mandatory law or otherwise, you shall be deemed an employee of Treasure Learning, you hereby agree to waive any claims against us that may arise as a result of such implied employment relationship. No User is entitled to participate in any Treasure Learning vacation, group medical or life insurance, disability, profit sharing or retirement benefits, or any other fringe benefits or benefit plans offered by Treasure Learning to its employees.
The Services provide connection to Tutors who are willing to be engaged by Students as independent contractors. As independent contractors, each Tutor decides when and how often the Tutor will be available to provide the tutoring services to Students. Each Tutor controls the methods, materials, content, and all aspects of the tutoring services. The Services allow Tutors to create subject-specific tutoring services for a certain number of hours.
Students are responsible for selecting the Tutor suitable for their learning goals. Students should check each Tutor's self-reported credentials, education, and experience, as well as reviews from other Students. Each Tutor has the sole discretion to accept or decline a request for the tutoring services, as well as continue or discontinue a tutoring relationship with any Student.
Tutors may, and in fact are expected to, perform the tutoring services for others or do other types of work (either as an independent contractor or employee or otherwise) while these Terms are in effect, including with Treasure Learning’s competitors if desired, provided that such other activities do not result in the Tutor’s violation of the Terms.

You further acknowledge that, by accepting your Feedback, Treasure Learning does not waive any rights to use similar or related ideas previously known to Treasure Learning, or developed by its employees, or obtained from sources other than you. You agree that we may, in our sole discretion, use the Feedback you provide to us in any way, including in future enhancements and modifications to the Services. You hereby grant to us and our assigns a perpetual, worldwide, fully transferable, sub-licensable, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, create derivative works from, distribute, and display the Feedback in any manner for any purpose, or without it in any media, software, or technology of any kind now existing or developed in the future, without any obligation to provide attribution or compensation to you or any third party.
12. REVIEWS
You acknowledge and agree that Treasure Learning may calculate a composite rating based on comments and reviews left by other Users. Tutors agree to be rated by Students along several criteria, as suggested by Treasure Learning. Treasure Learning provides its automatic feedback and rating system as a means through which Users can express their opinions publicly, and Treasure Learning does not monitor or censor these opinions or investigate any remarks posted by Users for accuracy or reliability unless a User brings the posting to Treasure Learning's attention.

25. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Here are key expectations for our teacher services:

- Manage Your Calendar and Profile: Keep your calendar updated to accurately reflect your availability. If you need to take a break, ensure your profile is adjusted accordingly to remove you from active listings.

- Provide Constructive Feedback: Offer students helpful, objective, and balanced feedback that supports their learning journey.
- Attend All Lessons and Arrive On Time: Commit to attending scheduled lessons and make initial contact with first-time students. Rescheduling or canceling should be a last resort. If a student is late, be prepared to start the lesson at any point during the scheduled time, but note that you are not obligated to compensate for lost time.
