Payments

If you register to use the Site and Services as a Peer Tutor and provide Sessions via the Site and Services, you may be entitled to receive Peer Tutor Payments from Users for the provision of Sessions. To receive Peer Tutor Payments, Peer Tutors bill Users after the completion of Paid Sessions based upon the Peer Tutor Hourly Rate (as defined below), our Service Charge (as defined below), and the Billed Session Duration (as defined below), using the Minimum Session Duration (as defined below) specified for the Session Type (as defined below) at the time the session was booked. Users will be billed in USD currency on a per minute basis and any partial minutes used should be rounded up. The Billed Session Duration may be greater or less than the Scheduled Session Duration, and should reflect the actual duration of time that the Peer Tutor was providing services. The Actual Session Duration (as defined below) is provided as a guide to help Peer Tutors determine the Billed Session Duration, but should not be relied upon. Peer Tutors are solely responsible for calculating and inputting an accurate Billed Session Length. Peer Tutors must subtract time from the Billed Session Length to reflect any duration of time that they were not able to provide services as a result of their own technical or non-technical issues. Peer Tutors are not responsible for subtracting time that they were not able to provide services as a result of the User’s technical or non-technical issues.

“Peer Tutor Hourly Rate” means the per hour amount the Peer Tutor will be paid for a session

“Service Charge” means per hour amount added to the Peer Tutor Hourly Rate that is paid to PeerTutors.com and its third party payment provider for a session

“User Rate” means the per hour amount the User is billed for a session

“Billed Session Duration” means the total time the User is billed for a Paid Session

“Minimum Session Duration” means the minimum amount of time Users can be billed for when entering into Paid Sessions

“Scheduled Session Duration,” means the amount of time allotted for a Session at the time the Session was booked

“Actual Session Duration,” means the amount of time calculated by the Session Timer, which begins the moment the User clicks the “Start Session” button and ends the moment that either the User or the Peer Tutor click the “End Session” button. Any duration of time that the Peer Tutor “Paused” the Session Timer is subtracted from the total time

“Session Type” means the format of a session (e.g. online, in-person, asynchronous, etc.)

All Peer Tutor Payments for Sessions must be completed through the Site, any payments accepted or solicited outside of the Site may result in your Account being disabled and, or legal action. Peer Tutors are encouraged to report any Users that have attempted to offer payments outside of the site by emailing us at support@PeerTutors.com or by using the designated field in the Post-Session form.

You confirm your acknowledgement and agreement that the User Rate shown includes our Service Charge, which may be changed from time to time at the sole discretion of PeerTutors.com. If we modify the Service Charge we will post the modified Service Charge on the Site however no advance notice of the modification is required. By continuing to provide Sessions after we have posted a modification on the Site or have provided you with notice of a modification, you are indicating that you agree to be bound by the modified Service Charge. If the modified Service Charge is not acceptable to you, your only recourse is to cease providing services via the Site and Services. You also confirm your acknowledgement that the Billed Session Duration may differ from the actual duration of the sessions depending on the Minimum Session Duration specified for that Session Type and other factors.

No payment is required from Users for Free Sessions, however Users may provide Peer Tutors with a “Tip”. Tips are voluntary payments made by Users to Peer Tutors after a Session. Tips are subject to the commission rates posted on the Site and may not be solicited from Users.

Peer Tutor Payments will be paid out to you within a commercially reasonable time by after setting up your Payout Method on the Site. You are solely responsible for ensuring that you will be able to transfer money from the third party payment provider.

Please note that if a Peer Tutor Payment sent by PeerTutors.com to you in accordance with these Provider Terms of Service is later invalidated or reversed for any reason (e.g. a User requests a refund), you will be liable to PeerTutors.com for the full amount of such Peer Tutor Payment that PeerTutors.com sent to you and any fees related thereto. This means that you will be responsible for reimbursing PeerTutors.com in the event of a chargeback, reversal of payment or other claim by a User in this regard.
