By confirming a tuition placement, as either a Tutor or a Client, you explicitly agree to Adams Tutors Terms and Conditions. Adams Tutors Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United Kingdom.
General
Adams Tutors reserves the right to reasonably alter these terms and conditions. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by a Director of Adams Tutors, and with the exception of specific employment contracts, these terms and conditions shall prevail over any other terms of business or conditions put forward by the Client or the Tutor.
Once a tutorial is confirmed, the “Tutor” and the “Client” (the student, or the student’s parent/guardian) have entered into an explicit tuition agreement as governed by Adams Tutors’ Tuition Agreement Documentation (provided on request). Adams Tutors acts as agent on behalf of the Tutor and the Client. Adams Tutors is only responsible for finding students and matching them with an appropriate tutor for the specific subject. Responsibility for the content of lessons, and the teaching methods employed, remain with the tutor.
Non – solicitation
The Client – or anyone acting on behalf of the Client – is not permitted to make private arrangements for tuition with a Tutor introduced by Adams Tutors. Should a Client breach this obligation, they will be liable to account to Adams Tutors for all sums paid to the Tutor, without deduction, and Adams Tutors shall be entitled to obtain an injunction against a Client to prevent further breaches. This obligation shall continue notwithstanding termination of this agreement. Similarly, if a tutor is found to be soliciting clients for private tuition arrangements, at a minimum they will be dismissed and a maximum reparations may be sought through the courts for quantifiable damages. Payments for tuition services must be made directly to the Tutor.
Cancellation Policy
Both the Client and the Tutor must notify the other in advance of any holiday commitments they may have, and any changes to the tuition timetable necessary because of illness or inconvenience. Tutorials must be cancelled a minimum of 24 hours prior to the arranged tutorial start time. If the client cancels the session within 24 hours of the agreed time and date, then the tutor will need to claim the full cost of the lesson. Any cancelation more than 24 hours notice will not be charged, with the exception of prearranged expenses.
Late Arrival Policy
If the Client arrives late, without sufficient prior notice, and the Tutor does not agree to overrun past the allotted tutorial, then the full scheduled tutorial is billable for the tutor.
Damages
Adams Tutors do not accept any liability for any claims by the Client arising out of, or related to, Tuition sessions, tutorials or any other activity by the tutor. By accepting these terms and conditions you agree to indemnify Adams Tutors, without limit, in respect of any such claims.
Unethical Academic Conduct
Adams Tutors has a zero tolerance policy on unethical academic practises included, but not limited to plagiarism and intellectual property violation. When matching a Tutor with a Client, it will always be made clear that any such unethical practices can result in the immediate cancellation of a tutorial and disciplinary action up to and including dismissal of the tutor. Adams Tutors accept no responsibility for plagiarism, and full liability lies with the Client. A Client’s work should always be their own.
