COVID-19 Waiver & Release of Liability
The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization, and is a highly infectious, life-threatening disease. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is spread mainly from person-to-person contact. Individuals who may have been infected with COVID-19 may be asymptomatic for a period of time or may have never become symptomatic at all. Because of its highly contagious and sometimes “hidden” nature, it is currently very difficult to control the spread of COVID-19 or to determine where or how a specific individual may have been exposed to the disease. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend vaccination, social distancing and other measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
The Tutorverse has put in place protective measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, The Tutorverse cannot guarantee the safety of any students, parents, educators, or staff. Thus, attending in-person tutoring, class, practice test, or other learning events hosted by The Tutorverse (“in-person programming,” “in-person program”) could increase your child’s risk of contracting COVID-19.
By enrolling in in-person programming, you acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and, on behalf of yourself and your child, understand that your child may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 through his/her participation in in-person programming and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, or death.
You voluntarily agree to assume, on behalf of yourself, your child, and your heirs, successors, executors, administrators and representatives (collectively, the “Releasors”), all risks, and you accept sole responsibility for any injury (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that you or your child may experience or incur in connection with your participation in in-person programming. You, on behalf of yourself, your child and the Releasors, release, forever discharge, and agree to hold harmless The Tutorverse, and its predecessors, successors, branches, divisions, affiliates, parents, subsidiaries and related entities and each of their respective current and former officers, board members, directors, agents, contractors, and employees (collectively, the “Releasees”), from any and all liability, claims, and demands of whatever kind or nature, either in law or in equity, which arise or may hereafter arise from your child’s participation in in-person programming. You understand and acknowledge that you are discharging the Releasees from any liability or claim that you and the Releasors may have against The Tutorverse with respect to bodily injury, personal injury, illness, or death that may result from your child’s participation in in-person programming.
To prevent the spread of COVID-19 and reduce the potential risk of exposure to all parties, you attest and represent that:
- Neither you, your child(ren), your spouse, your co-parent, or any other member of your family and/or household has had close contact with any person diagnosed with COVID-19 nor has any of the aforementioned parties been diagnosed with COVID-19 within the last 10 days prior to attending an in-person program.
- Neither you, your child(ren), your spouse, your co-parent, or any other member of your family and/or household has experienced any of the following symptoms within the last 10 days prior to attending an in-person program:
- fever (100.4 degrees F or higher) or chills
- cough
- shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- fatigue
- muscle or body aches
- headache
- sore throat
- congestion or runny nose
- nausea or vomiting
- diarrhea
- If you, your child(ren), your spouse, your co-parent, or any other member of your family and/or household develops any of the aforementioned symptoms you will voluntarily withdraw your child from participating in in-person programming for 10 days and immediately notify The Tutorverse.
- You will perform temperature checks on your child(ren) and visually inspect your child(ren) for signs of illness immediately before sending your child(ren) to an in-person program, and if any such signs or symptoms are exhibited, you will prevent your child(ren) from participating in that day’s in-person programming and immediately notify The Tutorverse.
You acknowledge that you have read and understand the COVID-19 Policies & Procedures on the preceding page, as well as the General Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy, and Privacy Policy Addendum, and affirm all of the statements above. You also acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19, the fact that it can be difficult to identify in another person, and the inherent risks of exposure of an in-person program. You voluntarily assume the risk that your entire family and/or household, as well as any members of your personal, social, or professional circle may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 as a result of your child’s participation in in-person programming, and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and/or death. You recognize that The Tutorverse cannot eliminate all potential risks of COVID-19 infection. You acknowledge that you have asked for and/or been given any information that you may need to determine the risks associated with participating in in-person programming and to make an informed assumption of those risks. You acknowledge that you have made the sole determination with respect to the sufficiency of any safety protocols, rules, or precautions that you decide to take to minimize the risks of participating in in-person programming and that you have not relied on any party related to The Tutorverse, including any board member, officer, employee, agent, volunteer, or student, to provide me with information about the same. You voluntarily assume full responsibility for any and all risks of illness or injury associated with exposure to COVID-19 as well as from use of any protective equipment, including face masks, that The Tutorverse may voluntarily provide to you or your child. You completely absolve, waive, release, and hold harmless The Tutorverse, and its predecessors, successors, branches, divisions, affiliates, parents, subsidiaries and related entities and each of their respective current and former officers, board members, directors, agents, contractors, and employees (collectively, the “Releasees”), of any and all legal or financial responsibility, including, but not limited to, any personal injury, disability, illness, damage, or death from exposure to COVID-19, whether such exposure occurs before, during, or after your or your children’s participation in in-person programming hosted by The Tutorverse. You agree, on behalf of yourself, your child, and your heirs, successors, executors, administrators and representatives (collectively, the “Releasors”), not to make any type of legal or equitable claim against The Tutorverse or any of the Releasees with respect to any exposure you or your children may have to COVID-19, whether or not it arises through negligence, omission, default, or other action of anyone affiliated with The Tutorverse, including other participants and personnel.
Tutoring Policies
Package Policies
All tutoring sessions between a tutor and student are billable under one of the following options:
- Pay-as-you-go
- Payment for the first hour of tutoring is processed upon initial registration. If we do not have a tutor that works with your schedule, you may request either a full credit for the amount paid or a full refund for the amount paid. Requests for full refunds will be processed to the original form of payment within 5 business days, and a receipt will be emailed to you.
- A valid credit card must be maintained in your account for subsequent payments. Failure to maintain a valid form of payment will automatically pause your tutoring engagements.
- Pay-as-you-go packages cannot be used to initiate any engagement between September 1 and November 30 (inclusive) each year. Engagements beginning during this time may only be initiated with a 5- or 10-hour pre-paid package.
- 5- or 10-hour pre-paid packages
- Payment for pre-paid packages of tutoring is processed upon checkout. No refunds, modifications, or alterations are possible. The unused dollar-value of packages remain as a credit on your account indefinitely. For example:
- The Smith family purchases a 10-hour Expert-level package.
- The Smith family uses 6 of the Expert-level hours, and saves the rest for later.
- The Smith family wishes to use the remaining value of their existing package for Premier-level tutoring.
- The remaining value of the Expert-level package will be applied toward the prevailing Premier-level tutoring rates.
- If you continue to tutor after your pre-paid package is fully utilized, you will automatically be billed at the then-prevailing pay-as-you-go rate.
- Payment for pre-paid packages of tutoring is processed upon checkout. No refunds, modifications, or alterations are possible. The unused dollar-value of packages remain as a credit on your account indefinitely. For example:
- If you received tutoring credits as a result of a promotion (auction voucher, class, etc.), consult the terms and conditions printed or posted on the promotional material. In the absence of any printed or posted terms and conditions, all tutoring credits received as a result of a promotion must be redeemed by the end of the calendar year in which it was issued. Tutoring credits expire at the end of the calendar year in which they were issued.
- Any refunds issued are subject to a 5% processing fee that will be deducted from the amount refunded.
Referral Policy
Updated 5/10/21
- For each new family you refer to us for tutoring, we’ll give you a $100 credit toward your next tutoring package or class tuition! There’s no limit on the number of credits you can earn, so keep those referrals coming!
- In order to earn the credit:
- the referral must belong to a new family (one that has never before participated in our classes or tutoring, or otherwise worked with The Tutorverse – sorry, referring siblings doesn’t count!);
- the referral must list you (the referrer) as a reference in their Enrollment Form when they register;
- the referral must complete 5 sessions with his or her tutor;
- your account must be in good standing and must not have any open balances.
- This credit:

- cannot be applied to past sessions, transferred, exchanged, or otherwise altered;

Cancelling & Rescheduling
- If you need to cancel or postpone a session, you must notify us in writing at least 24 hours in advance. You may contact your tutor directly and should email/copy [email protected]. If we do not receive at least 24 hours’ notice, we will deduct the scheduled session from any prepaid packages, or process a rescheduling fee equal to the amount due for the scheduled session.
- Between September 1 and November 30 (inclusive) each year, no cancellations are possible. Sessions can only be rescheduled, pending tutor availability. Missed sessions that cannot be rescheduled will be processed against a pre-paid package or to the card on file (existing pay-as-you-go plans).
- No refund is available for past sessions or for unused pre-paid sessions.
Supervision
- For in-home tutoring, students under the age of eighteen must have a caretaker (parent, guardian, babysitter, or other responsible adult) on-site at all times. While tutors will make every reasonable effort to ensure the well-being of students, tutors are not trained caretakers or medical personnel, and may not be aware of all of the student’s circumstances.
- If a tutor arrives for a session with a student under the age of eighteen and a caretaker is not present, the tutor may, at his or her sole discretion, decide that the session cannot proceed.
- If the caretaker leaves in the middle of a session with a student under the age of eighteen, the tutor may, at his or her sole discretion, discontinue the session.
- In either situation, we will process payment for the full duration of the session.
- Tutors may meet in person with minor students in public locations, such as a library or coffee shop, without another adult present.
- To ensure honest answers and cultivate an open and effective working relationship between the student and the tutor, we kindly ask that parents, guardians, babysitters, and other responsible adults excuse themselves from the immediate tutoring area.
Same-Day Tutoring Requests
- We consider requests for tutoring with fewer than 24 hours’ notice to be a same-day tutoring requests.
- In order to process your request, same-day tutoring sessions incur a $100 non-refundable booking fee. Once the booking fee is received, we will begin to process your request. We’ll do everything we can to help your family get a tutor. However, we can’t guarantee that we’ll be able to find a tutor for such a request.

Student & Parent Conduct
Maintaining a safe and conducive learning environment is one of our highest priorities. We therefore ask that parents, guardians, and other adults excuse themselves from program spaces after student drop-off. We do not tolerate any conduct from any program participant that substantially threatens or interferes with the maintenance of appropriate order and discipline in the operation of our classes. Such conduct includes, but is not limited to:
- inappropriate or profane behavior that causes a disruption of teaching, administration, or other classroom activities
- disruptive use of mobile phones or other electronic devices
- refusal to adhere to program guidelines and/or directions provided by our instructors
Our instructors are experienced in leading and managing a classroom and will always attempt to verbally resolve any conduct concerns on site. However, if we begin to recognize a pattern of disruptive conduct, and are unable to resolve the matter on site, we will, in writing, escalate the matter to the parent/guardian’s attention for resolution. If the matter persists, we will issue a final written notice to the parent/guardian. After the final written notice, non-remediation will result in the student’s removal from class.
Dismissal & Pickup
Your child’s safety is paramount. If you specify that your child cannot self-dismiss (i.e. that your child must be picked up by a caretaker), you must pick up your child within 10 minutes of the conclusion of class. If you do not pick up your child within this window, you will be charged a late fee of $2 per minute for your child to wait with security.
We will only be able to release your child for dismissal to the authorized caretaker indicated on your registration form. The only exception is if we speak with a parent or guardian on the phone about releasing the child for self-dismissal (or for dismissal with a third party). If you know you will be late, call us and let us know so that we can release your child.
Media Release Consent
From time to time, The Tutorverse may collect media during the routine administration of classroom activities. Such media includes, but is not limited to, digital or analog photography, sound recordings, or video recordings. This media may be used in promotional and advertising materials disseminated to the public through print or digital channels, and through any other channel deemed appropriate and safe by The Tutorverse. This media may include the likeness or sound of students, either individually or in a group setting.
Unless otherwise indicated at the time of registration, You give The Tutorverse permission to collect, use, edit, reproduce, and publish this media in perpetuity, in any medium or form of distribution, including but not limited to The Tutorverse’s website, email marketing, or social media posts, or in any other manner as determined by the sole discretion of The Tutorverse.

You further agree that the use of the aforementioned media by The Tutorverse confers no rights of ownership whatsoever to You.

The following policies apply to Programs with recurring membership subscription fees.
By creating an account or logging into your account and submitting payment information, you confirm that you understand that you are signing up for a membership subscription product that will be billed in regular intervals. Continued use of the purchased Program is contingent upon your payment of the associated fees. Details about the fees and frequency of billing vary, and were shown to you on your enrollment page.
Your membership subscription is subject to your payment of an activation fee (as applicable) and monthly fee on a recurring basis. Such fees are fully earned upon payment and are not subject to any refund, credit or offset, pro-rata or otherwise, upon cancellation. Such fees will be charged to you, using your payment method on-file, each month as stipulated by your membership subscription, until you cancel your membership subscription. We reserve the right to change the amount of your such fees upon at least thirty (30) days’ notice to you. YOU AFFIRMATIVELY CONSENT AND AUTHORIZE THE TUTORVERSE TO CHARGE YOU ON EACH PAYMENT DUE DATE FOR YOUR MEMBERSHIP SUBSCRIPTION FEE FOR AS LONG AS YOUR MEMBERSHIP SUBSCRIPTION CONTINUES.
You understand that you may cancel your membership subscription at any time, but that doing so will prevent you from accessing data associated with the Program, including but not limited to notes, bookmarks, links, etc. If you cancel your membership subscription, and wish to re-start your membership subscription, you will be required to pay the then-applicable activation fee (as applicable).
Membership subscriptions are non-transferrable and are provisioned solely to and for the original subscriber.
By providing a credit card or other accepted payment method at the time of purchase or otherwise adding a payment method to your Account, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use such payment method and you here hereby authorize The Tutorverse to charge all applicable amounts for your purchases including recurring payments for your membership subscription and any and all applicable shipping and handling costs, fees, taxes and other amounts due, to such payment method. You are required to maintain a payment method on-file in your account as a condition of having a membership subscription. You are responsible for ensuring that your payment method information remains current, and you can update or change your payment method information at any time by logging into your Account. By updating your payment method on file you are authorizing The Tutorverse to continue billing and charge to that payment method your membership subscription fee, and any other amounts you may owe, on a recurring basis.
We reserve the right to take any lawful action in response to any past-due membership subscription fees or other charges, including: (1) charging the primary payment method on-file or any other payment methods we may have on file for your account; (2) cancelling your membership subscription or otherwise suspending your access to Programs until all past-due amounts are paid; (3) charging you interest on past-due amounts; and/or (4) providing your information, including without limitation name and contact information, to a collections agency who will attempt to collect your past-due amounts on behalf of The Tutorverse. You will be responsible for any collection and/or legal costs incurred by The Tutorverse in collecting any past-due amounts associated with your membership subscription. The Tutorverse may charge you a 5% fee for each credit card charge or check that is dishonored or rejected as invalid. Please note that cancellation of your membership subscription will not relieve you of your obligation to pay any past-due or outstanding amounts.
You may cancel your membership subscription online at any time by either (1) emailing us at: [email protected] and following the instructions in the response or (2) logging into your account through our website, at www.thetutorverse.com/my-account. You must cancel your membership subscription before your next payment date in order to avoid being charged the membership subscription fee for the next month. If you purchased your membership subscription through a third party, you may need to contact that third party to cancel your membership subscription. Once cancelled, your membership subscription and access to the Program will automatically end at the end your current monthly billing period, and you will lose access to any Program features, functions and content that requires a membership subscription.
The Tutorverse may make promotional offers available from time to time, including special pricing, product or service bundles or packages, and free trials. Promotional offers are subject to eligibility criteria and additional terms and conditions (including those of applicable third parties), which will be provided to you at the time you sign-up or the offer or in other communications made available to you. We will determine offer eligibility in our sole discretion, and may use information such as device ID, method of payment or contract information to determine offer eligibility. We reserve the right to revoke any offer, and suspend your access to the Program, if we determine you are not or were not eligible for an offer. We also reserve the right to, in our sole discretion, modify or terminate any promotional offer, including free trials, at any time, without notice or liability to you.
Certain promotional offers may involve a free trial where you will receive access to a Program for a specified period of time without payment. If your free trial offer is in connection with purchasing a membership subscription, you will be required to provide a payment method at the time you sign up for the free trial offer, and you will begin to be billed automatically upon expiration of the free trial period and thereafter on a recurring basis or as long as your membership continues. If the terms of your promotional offer expressly permit you to cancel your membership subscription prior to the end of your free trial, you are responsible for keeping track of the date your free trial ends and for cancelling your membership subscription before your free trial period expires or you will be automatically charged the applicable fees. You may not receive a notice from us that your free trial is ending or that the paid portion of your membership subscription has begun. Additionally, as part of a free trial where you are required to provide a method of payment, you may see a “pending authorization charge” on your designated payment method statement. This is not an actual charge, and no amount is being collected; this is a temporary authorization hold used to verify that your provided payment method is active and valid for future transactions. The temporary hold is typically released in 3-5 business days depending on your bank’s policy. If a hold has not been released in more than 30 days, please contact your bank.
The Tutorverse reserves the right to terminate membership at any time without advance notification in the following cases:
- breach of this Terms of Services or any part thereof, as well as supplements thereto which are an integral part thereof;
- respective request of authorized government bodies;
- infringement of copyrighted materials;
- unexpected technical problems or safety-related circumstances;
- obstacles or any breaches with respect to the Program, including the use of any devices, software, etc.
