As part of certain paid subscriptions, a points program is made available to our students.  You understand and agree that a maximum of 50,000 points may be earned in a one month period, and no points will be earned or accrued after this maximum limit is reached.  Points can be used at any time after they have been earned.  The points earned by a student will be forfeited if they are not used within 1 year from the date the student ceases to be a paid subscriber of our courses.  Any points earned during the free trial period cannot be redeemed for any gift cards, merchandise or any other item, and such points have no value whatsoever.  We may at our sole discretion, remove such points from your account at any time.

 

13. Limitations on Homework Help

As part of certain paid subscriptions, students are able to receive assistance with external questions from our tutors by submitting them through the application or emailing it to our email address.  This service is called “Homework Help”. You understand and agree that questions submitted will be at a level and complexity consistent with the enrolled course, and we reserve the sole right to determine whether questions are consistent with the level and complexity of the enrolled course.  If a question is deemed to be inconsistent with the enrolled course as outlined above, the question will be rejected and still be counted against the monthly maximum external questions allowed.  We allow a maximum of ten (10) external questions to be submitted in a one month period.

 

14. Access to Livehelp

As part of our “Livehelp” Services, we provide students one to one assistance from a tutor using our online whiteboard and a voice service such that the student and tutor can interact verbally and also be able to view each other’s writing and drawing.  This Service is not available through a subscription, but instead requires the purchase of Livehelp minutes, and each Livehelp minute provides 1 minute of Livehelp session time.  Such minutes may be purchased in blocks of 1 hour.  We allow refund of unused hours, but not any part hours. 

Once such Livehelp minutes have been purchased, a student may request a Livehelp session through our application. We post the days and times our tutors are available for Livehelp on our Website, which may be changed by us at our sole discretion at any time with or without notice to you, and as such you understand that you will only be able to utilize your purchased Livehelp minutes during those times. In the event of our tutors not being available in a time period within those posted times, you understand and agree that you will also not be able to utilize any Livehelp services during such times, and that we may or may not provide any advance notice to you of such non-availability.  You may avail of Livehelp services once a tutor is available again.

You understand that Livehelp is available on a first come first serve basis and as such we are unable to predict the number of Livehelp requests we receive at any given time as well as the duration of each such session, and are thus unable to provide an expected wait time or even guarantee that a tutor will become available for your request.  Once a tutor is available to start your session, they will start your session and call you on your preferred voice call technology.  After allowing 1 minute for you to join, your Livehelp minutes will start being used at the rate of 1 Livehelp minute per minute elapsed.  If you have not joined the session even after 5 minutes since the session was started, the tutor will end the session and you will have to submit a new Livehelp session request.  No refund of Livehelp minutes used during such a session will be provided.

During a Livehelp session, you may request help with any question from a course for which you have a paid subscription, or submit an external question which is of a level and complexity consistent with that course.  We reserve the right to determine if an external question meets those standards.  If the question does not meet those standards, we at our sole discretion will not assist you with it, but the Livehelp minutes for the elapsed time would still be used up and will not be refunded.

In the event of technical issues preventing a connection or resulting in a terminated connection, the elapsed time will still be deducted from your Livehelp minutes unless we determine the issue was caused at our end at our sole discretion, in which case we will refund the amount of Livehelp minutes that were deducted but were not able to be used towards an actual session.

 

15. Referral Program

As part of our “Referral Program” we provide incentives (“Referral Fee”) to our clients for referring our services to potential new clients.  You understand that the Referral Fee or the conditions for earning a Referral Fee may change from time to time and the Referral Program may also be cancelled at any time with or without notice to you.

You understand and agree that to receive the Referral Fee, the new client must provide your Referral ID when they first sign up on our Website and that it is your responsibility to provide them with your correct Referral ID.  You also understand and agree that to be eligible for the Referral Fee, both you and the new client must adhere to all the Terms and Conditions at all times, including but not limited to providing us with correct and accurate information during signup, not impersonating anyone, not creating multiple accounts and not providing fake information.  If we believe that you or the new client that you have referred are not meeting all the Terms and Conditions at any time, or that you are misusing the Referral Program in any way or for any other reason whatsoever, we reserve the right to remove you from the Referral Program at our sole discretion with or without notice to you, and you would forfeit all the Referral Fees for past and future references and all your user accounts would be terminated without refund of any monies.

The number of referrals eligible for any Referral Fees is limited by the type of subscription.  If you have at least one student enrolled with an active Tutor Assisted subscription, a maximum of 10 referrals that you make in a month are eligible for Referral Fees.  If you have at least one student enrolled with an active Self Study subscription, a maximum of 2 referrals that you make in a month are eligible for Referral Fees.  If you do not have any students enrolled with either a Tutor Assisted subscription or Self Study subscription, none of the referrals that you make are eligible for Referral Fees.

Once all the conditions for the Referral Fee have been met, and we have determined that you are eligible to receive the Referral Fee, it may take up to 4 weeks for us to process the Referral Fee and send it to you.  We reserve the right to determine how we send the Referral Fee including the option to provide it in the form of a gift card.

 

16. Non Solicitation

You agree that you will not solicit either directly or indirectly, our employees, contractors or agents in any manner whatsoever to provide services of any kind.
