Terms and Conditions

1. The TutorStream Website helps Students to find Tutors, Tutors to market their services, and for Students to book and pay for Lessons. All of these terms and conditions apply to Students and Tutors, unless they specifically state otherwise, or are marked with a "T", when they only apply to Tutors. Clause 5 only applies to Tutors. These terms and conditions replace any previous versions of them.
2. The TutorStream Website is owned and operated by TutorStream AI Ltd, trading as TutorStream. TutorStream is a limited liability company registered in England and Wales under company number 14651869. TutorStream's registered office is at Merchant House, 30 Cloth Market, Newcastle upon Tyne, Newcastle, NE1 1EE, United Kingdom.
3. A User may register on the Website as a Student or as a Tutor. A User may use the Website without registering, but if a User does register, certain information will be stored, making future visits to the Website easier.
4. By registering on or using our Website, the User agrees to be bound by these terms and conditions. These terms and conditions are legally binding – every User should read them fully before agreeing to them. (Please print or save these terms for future use as TutorStream will not keep a file copy specifically for the User and TutorStream cannot guarantee that they will remain accessible on the Website in future.) If a User does not wish to be bound by these terms, they should not use the Website.
5. ("T") Where the person who agrees these terms and conditions contracts on behalf of a company/organisation, they hereby confirm that they have authority to act on behalf of that entity.
6. Certain words are defined in clause 16 (Definitions) of these terms and conditions and are capitalised throughout.

This clause sets out what TutorStream promises to do:

1. To help Tutors and Students to meet by allowing Tutors to advertise their professional tuition services on the Website, and Students to book and pay for Lessons
2. To maintain a functioning Website, including communication systems, a booking platform and Online Classroom, wherever possible. TutorStream cannot guarantee that the Website will always be available, or that it will always work, but it will try to have it up and running properly at all times. Every now and again, the Website might need to be taken offline for maintenance purposes.
3. To communicate any planned maintenance of the Website or Platform downtime.
4. To use reasonable endeavours (which means to try hard!) to keep the Website free from viruses and worms.
5. To use reasonable endeavours to check the identity of all Tutors and the background checks of Tutors who have Background Checked Status. (But if a Student is concerned about any Tutor, do not meet a Tutor alone.)
6. To decide when a Tutor’s profile is sufficiently complete to be set live on the Website and be accessible by other Users.
7. To communicate new Bookings, confirmation of Bookings and cancellations, to both Students and Tutors via the Website and by email (except where a Student or Tutor has chosen to alter their notification settings to exclude email communication).
8. To endeavour to ensure that each Student’s payment of Lesson Fees and the payment of each Tutor’s Tutor Fees are processed promptly and usually within 9 days of a Lesson, when there is no Complaint or Failed Payment.
9. To endeavour to ensure Complaints are considered promptly and in accordance with these terms and conditions.
10. To endeavour to ensure that refunds to Students are made promptly in accordance with these terms and conditions.
11. To endeavour to ensure that Failed Payments are processed promptly and in accordance with these terms and conditions.
12. To take precautions TutorStream considers appropriate to protect Students' and Tutors' information.
13. To monitor postings made on the Website and messages sent between Students and Tutors. TutorStream does so in the hope of helping Students and Tutors meet, but also to stop misuse of the Website, as set out in these terms and conditions.

This applies to both Students and Tutors, and anyone else who uses the Website

5. To confirm a Booking for their first Lesson with a Tutor, the Student must enter, or have already entered, valid payment details on the Website.
6. When a Booking is confirmed, the Student enters into a direct contract with the Tutor for the provision of Lessons and TutorStream accepts no liability in relation to the Tutor’s provision of lessons.
7. When a confirmed Booking exists, the Student must ensure that they have a valid debit/credit card registered on the Website, with sufficient funds to cover the Booking.
8. Students agree not to circumvent or disintermediate, or attempt to circumvent or disintermediate, TutorStream in any way at the time of booking any Tutor, during any period of confirmed Bookings with any Tutor or at any time within six months of the date of the most recent Booking with the relevant Tutor (the "Student Restriction Period") and that, save where TutorStream has barred the Student or Tutor in accordance with clause 4.14, all future Lessons within the Student Restriction Period with a Tutor found through the Website will be booked through TutorStream.
9. Students must use their own judgement about the services of Tutors detailed on the Website. Although TutorStream undertakes certain checks to assess the suitability of each Tutor prior to setting their profile live on the Website, Students are responsible for checking the credentials, expertise, references and qualifications of any Tutor with whom they confirm a Booking.
10. Students are responsible for checking that Bookings made by Tutors on their behalf are done so correctly and understand they will be informed of these Lessons by email (except where a student has chosen to alter their notification settings to exclude email communications) and through the Website only.
11. Students are responsible for ensuring that they have the correct equipment to be able to access the Online Classroom prior to an Online Lesson. No refunds will be made in the event that Students are unable to access the Online Classroom for whatever reason, save where such inability to access the Online Classroom arises as a result of TutorStream failing to provide the services outlined in clause 2.2 of these terms and conditions.
12. Any Student who fails, in TutorStream's reasonable opinion, to comply with these terms and conditions may be immediately barred from using the Website and any related services. TutorStream reserves the right to cancel any existing Bookings in such circumstances.

3. Tutors must be legally entitled (possessing the relevant immigration status where relevant) to work in the UK on a self-employed basis.

5. Tutors are responsible for ensuring that the personal information they provide and their personal statements on the Website are accurate and in no way misleading. They must update this information promptly to maintain its accuracy.
6. Tutors must disclose any criminal convictions or cautions they may have to TutorStream, including any criminal convictions or cautions received at any time after having registered a tutor account on the Website and for as long as the Tutor remains registered.
7. Tutors claiming Background Checked Status must meet the requirements set out in clause 16.4 of these terms and conditions.

9. Tutors must use their own judgement about whether they wish to offer their tuition services to each individual Student. Tutors must take every precaution to ensure that they work in a safe environment and are responsible for taking out and maintaining their own insurance policies to cover the work they undertake.
10. Tutors are responsible for setting their own Tutor Fee. They must not undercut TutorStream and must, therefore, set their Tutor Fee on the Website for an amount which is as good as the fee they offer to students outside of TutorStream.
11. Tutors agree that they will be ranked on the Website based on a mixture of profile data, Student ratings and number of Lessons taught. Positive Student ratings, prompt messaging, repeat Bookings and a greater amount of Lessons taught will contribute to Tutors being ranked higher on the Website's search engine results. TutorStream reserves the right to change the way Tutors are ranked at any time.
12. Tutors should make Bookings for Lessons and respond to messages received from TutorStream and Users promptly.
13. For any meetings (including lessons, trials or assessing student need) with a Student found via TutorStream's Website, Tutors must make a Booking to account for this time using the Website. Tutors agree not to solicit Students or disintermediate TutorStream, or attempt to solicit Students or disintermediate TutorStream, in any way, at the time of booking any Lesson with any Student, during any period of confirmed Bookings with any Student or at any time within six months of the date of the most recent Booking with the relevant Student (the "Tutor Restriction Period").
14. Tutors must only make Bookings for Lessons in accordance with the instructions of their Students. If Tutors make Bookings for additional Lessons which they fail to deliver, they will be liable to refund to the Student directly any Tutor Fee they have received for any such Bookings.
15. Tutors must attempt to call the student, be able to provide evidence of the call and allow at least 15 minutes from the scheduled start time of a Lesson for Students to attend the Lesson. If Tutors fail to do so, they will be liable to refund to the Student any Tutor Fee they have received for the relevant booking.
16. Tutors must not complete or intend to complete coursework, or any similar assignments, on behalf of Students.

19. Tutors are responsible for ensuring that they have the correct equipment to be able to access the Online Classroom prior to an Online Lesson. Tutors will be liable to refund any fees received for an Online Lesson in the event that they are unable to access the Online Classroom for whatever reason, save where such inability to access the Online Classroom arises as a result of TutorStream failing to provide the services outlined in clause 2.2 of these terms and conditions.
20. Tutors are responsible for ensuring that they have the correct Lesson location and are at the Lesson location ready to teach at the agreed time as booked on the Website. Tutors who are late for a Lesson must provide evidence that they contacted the Student directly to make them aware of their lateness and that the Student was happy to take the Lesson at a later time. Any Tutors who fail to do so will be liable to refund to the Student any Tutor fee they have received for the relevant booking.

1. The Lesson Fee payable by a Student for a Lesson will be displayed on the Website at the time of confirming a Booking. The Lesson Fee will also be displayed on the Student’s lessons dashboard on the Website, in Lesson reminder emails and, following Lessons, in emails confirming receipt of payment.
2. A Lesson Fee is the combination of the Tutor Fee, which will be collected by Stripe on behalf of TutorStream and TutorStream’s Platform Fee. All fees include any applicable VAT or other sales tax.
3. The Platform Fee is payable by the Student in exchange for the provision of the services listed in clause 2 of these terms and conditions. The Platform Fee will be determined based on the number of hours of Lessons taught by the Tutor prior to the Lesson.
4. ("T") A Tutor’s fee for a Lesson will represent a percentage of the Lesson Fee due for that Lesson (the “Tutor Fee”). The percentage of the Lesson Fee that represents the Tutor Fee, received by TutorStream as agent for the Tutor, will be determined based on the number of hours of Lessons taught by the Tutor prior to the Lesson, as set out on the Website.
5. The Student authorises TutorStream to instruct Stripe to charge their credit/debit card for the Lesson Fee attached to the relevant Booking.
6. If any Student cancels a Booking less than 12 hours before the relevant Lesson is due to commence, payment may be taken less than 24 hours after the Lesson is due to end.
7. If any Student makes a Complaint (claiming for a Missed Lesson, raising a refund request, or making a claim against TutorStream’s 100% satisfaction guarantee), charges may nevertheless be processed as usual to collect payment, and refunded as appropriate, in accordance with these terms and conditions.
8. For Online Lessons, Students will be charged the full Lesson Fee, provided the Tutor attended the Online Classroom for at least 15 minutes from the Lesson’s scheduled start time. No charge will be made to the Student if a Tutor does not attend for at least the first 15 minutes of a Lesson and, therefore, give the Student sufficient opportunity to attend.
9. If a Lesson does not take place because a Student does not attend (whether in person or via the Online Classroom, as applicable), the Student will be charged the full Lesson Fee.
10. Payment processing services on TutorStream's Website are provided by Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd trading as Stripe and are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Services Agreement – United Kingdom (together, the “Stripe Terms”). By agreeing to these terms and conditions or continuing to operate as a Tutor on TutorStream's Website, the Tutor agrees to be bound by the Stripe Terms, as the same may be modified or amended by Stripe from time to time; and Tutor agrees to provide TutorStream with accurate and complete information about themselves and, where relevant, their business, and each Tutor authorises TutorStream to share with Stripe such information and transaction information related to Tutor's use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe.
11. Stripe normally transfers a Tutor's Tutor Fee from the Tutor's Stripe connected account to the Tutor's nominated account within 9 days following a Lesson, provided the relevant ID has been provided and passes Stripe’s verification process.
12. Tutor’s earnings may be held in Escrow until Stripe’s verification requirement is completed.

1. A Student may cancel a Booking at any point before the scheduled start time of a Lesson.
2. A Student may only cancel a Lesson by cancelling the relevant Booking on the Website. Cancellations made through direct contact with the Tutor, such as by text or phone, and not through the Website, may result in charges still being made to a Student’s account.
3. Cancellations made 12 or more hours before a Lesson is due to commence will incur no charge.
4. Bookings cancelled by a Student less than 12 hours before a Lesson is due to commence may incur a charge.
5. Tutors may cancel a Booking at any time prior to a Lesson taking place. To do so, Tutors must inform the Student directly via the Website and cancel the Booking on the Website. In the event of a Tutor cancelling a Booking, the Student will not be charged any Lesson Fee or, if the Student has paid the Lesson Fee, will receive a full refund.
6. Bookings cannot be cancelled after the Lesson has started.

1. As defined at the end of these terms and conditions, a “Complaint” covers any cause for the Student to seek a refund as a result of the service provided by the Tutor, including, but not limited to, a Missed Lesson (where the Tutor did not attend a Lesson booked on the Website) or a claim about quality (where the Student feels that the service provided by a Tutor falls below the standards they reasonably expected).
2. A Student should inform TutorStream of a Complaint by either phone or email within 96 hours after the scheduled finish time of the relevant Lesson.
3. When a complaint has been received from a student, TutorStream will contact the Tutor within 72 hours of the complaint being received, by email and text message to inform the Tutor that a complaint has been raised.
4. Should a Student inform TutorStream of a complaint within 96 hours after the scheduled finish time of the relevant Lesson, the Tutor has 48 hours to inform TutorStream through the Website of their desire to dispute the complaint (and reject the associated refund request). Should the Tutor not dispute the complaint through the Website within 48 hours of being notified of the complaint, TutorStream, as the agent of the Tutor, will instruct Stripe to process a full refund to the Student of the Tutor Fee. TutorStream reserves the right, as a goodwill gesture, to instruct Stripe to process a refund of the Platform Fee for the Booking related to the Lesson the complaint is regarding. TutorStream will promptly inform the Student of the Tutor’s decision whether or not to uphold their complaint by email and, if upheld, authorise the associated refund.
5. Should a Student inform TutorStream of a complaint more than 96 hours after the scheduled finish time of the relevant Lesson, the Tutor has 48 hours to inform TutorStream by email or phone of their desire to uphold the complaint (and authorise TutorStream on the Tutor’s behalf to award the associated refund of the Tutor Fee). Should Tutors not contact TutorStream within 48 hours to uphold the complaint, TutorStream, as the agent of the Tutor, will inform the Student by email of the Tutor’s decision to reject their complaint and reject the associated refund request.
6. Should the Student and Tutor not reach an amicable agreement regarding a complaint, the Student is entitled to make a claim against the Tutor in relation to the complaint. As set out in clause 8.7, TutorStream accepts no liability in relation to complaints and the services provided by a Tutor.
7. Should TutorStream find that a Missed Lesson occurred due to any failure of TutorStream to meet the terms set out in clause 2 of these terms and conditions, TutorStream will refund the Student any Platform Fee paid.
8. TutorStream reserves the right to offer any Student, as a gesture of goodwill, payment of a sum equivalent to the full Lesson Fee. Such a payment will be awarded solely at TutorStream’s discretion.

1. To reflect TutorStream’s confidence in the matching service provided, TutorStream will, as a gesture of goodwill, pay a Student who qualifies for the 100% satisfaction guarantee an amount equal to the lesser of the cost of the Initial Lesson (as defined in clause 9.2) or the cost of the Replacement Lesson (as defined in clause 9.2) up to a maximum of £100.
2. To qualify for this satisfaction guarantee, the Student must: i) notify TutorStream that they are unhappy with their first Lesson for which there is a Booking on the Website (the “Initial Lesson”) by email or phone within 48 hours of the Lesson’s scheduled finish time, giving their reasons for their dissatisfaction (TutorStream will then note eligibility for the 100% satisfaction guarantee on the Student’s account); ii) independently find a new, replacement Tutor, with whom they must book, confirm, take and pay for a Lesson on the Website (the “Replacement Lesson”); and iii) contact TutorStream by email or phone within 48 hours of the Replacement Lesson’s finish time.
3. TutorStream reserves the right to determine whether a valid claim of dissatisfaction Stands.
4. Before any payment is made to a Student under the terms of this satisfaction guarantee, payment for the Initial and Replacement Bookings must have been received by TutorStream.
5. TutorStream will only offer the 100% satisfaction guarantee if the Replacement Lesson is completed within 12 months of the Initial Lesson (and not any later Lessons).
6. The satisfaction guarantee is limited to one claim per Student.
7. Where a Student is noted as eligible for the 100% satisfaction guarantee or a goodwill payment is made, TutorStream will, as agent for the respective Tutors, ensure that Tutor Fees for the Initial and Replacement Lessons are passed on to them.
8. TutorStream reserves the right not to make the goodwill payment if the Student has failed to comply with any of these terms and conditions.

1. As defined in clause 16.5, ‘Failed Payment’ means an outstanding Lesson Fee for a Booking, for which Stripe, as instructed by TutorStream, has been unable to make a successful charge against the payment details provided by the Student.
2. In the case of a Failed Payment still being outstanding 48 and 72 hours after the scheduled end of the relevant Lesson, the Student authorises TutorStream to automatically instruct Stripe to retry the charge.
3. The Student can also give TutorStream consent by phone, email, SMS or support messages to instruct Stripe to retry payments for any outstanding Failed Payment.
4. As the agent of the Tutor, TutorStream reserves the right to protect the Tutor from further loss of earnings by cancelling Lessons and their associated Bookings at any point with a Student who has an outstanding Failed Payment (including for a Student who has an outstanding Failed Payment for a Booking with another Tutor)
5. In the case of a Failed Payment still being outstanding 96 hours after the scheduled end of the relevant Lesson, TutorStream will cancel all of the Student's further Bookings and inform the Tutor by SMS that Stripe has been unable to collect payment on their behalf. The Tutor must not make any further Bookings for Lessons with the Student until the Failed Payment has been settled by Stripe making a successful charge for the full Lesson Fee.
6. As the agent of the Tutor, TutorStream may continue to seek payment to cover Failed Payments from the Student for ninety days following the scheduled end of the relevant Lesson, by contacting the Student by email, SMS and/or phone.
7. The Student accepts that TutorStream reserves the right to pass bad debts for TutorStream’s Platform Fees to third party debt collection services, and acknowledge that their credit rating may be affected.
8. TutorStream will not be liable to the Tutor for any lost earnings resulting from any Failed Payment.
9. TutorStream without obligation, reserves the right to pay the Tutor, as a gesture of goodwill, an amount equal to the Tutor Fee for any Lessons for which there has been a Failed Payment. This right is entirely at the discretion of TutorStream.
