Once a tutoring position has been confirmed, it is your responsibility to enter into a formal contract (whether verbal or written) between you and the Tutor. For the avoidance of doubt, each Tutor registered with Chalkboard Learning is self-employed and we act solely as an agent for the Tutor.
We will use reasonable endeavours to introduce to you a suitable Tutor to carry out tutoring for you of such nature as you shall notify to us. You accept that no warranty as to the suitability of the Tutor can be given by us.
Any tutoring hours that are purchased must be used within 1 year of the purchase. Any hours bought but not used will expire and no refund will be given.
You shall specify your exact requirements by providing full details of the subject areas and academic courses for which the Tutor is required and, in particular, by notifying us of any special skills required of the Tutor (including, for example, knowledge of specific texts or academic syllabi) when contacting us with your request.
If you need to cancel or change a lesson, please contact Chalkboard Learning as early as possible. Tutorials that are cancelled by you with less than 24 hours’ notice will be charged for in full. If you make a cancellation with more than 24 hours’ notice the lesson will be credited back to your account. Hours purchased but not used cannot be refunded. Any refunds will be made at the sole discretion of Chalkboard Learning.
In the event that you reasonably believe that the Tutor is unsuitable, please let us know as soon as possible. We will use reasonable endeavours to find a replacement Tutor for you.
If you have a complaint against the Tutor or against us, you must inform us of that complaint within 24 hours of the occurrence that gave rise to it.
We supply as agent each Tutor in good faith and in the belief that he or she will perform to the best of his or her abilities. However, we cannot guarantee the performance of the Tutor. Any opinion expressed by the Tutor is not necessarily an expression of the opinions of Chalkboard Learning.
Neither Chalkboard Learning nor any of its staff shall be liable to you for any loss, injury, damage, expense or delay incurred or suffered by you arising directly or indirectly from or in any way connected with the introduction or supply of a Tutor to you or with any failure by Keystone Tutors to introduce or supply a Tutor and, in particular, but without limitation to the foregoing, any such loss, injury, damage, expense or delay arising from or in any way connected with:
provided that nothing in this clause shall exclude or restrict the liability of Chalkboard Learning to you for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or for fraudulent misrepresentation or in any other circumstances where liability may not be so limited under any applicable law.
You are not permitted to make private arrangements for tuition with Tutors introduced by us. By confirming a tutoring position, you undertake not to make any such arrangements with any Tutor registered with us either during the term of this Agreement or at any time following its termination.
No modification or variation of this Agreement shall be effective unless a director of Chalkboard Learning consents in writing to such modification or variation. We will notify you in writing of any changes.

The expiration or termination of this Agreement, howsoever arising, shall not operate to affect such of the provisions of this Agreement as are expressed to operate after then.
This Agreement does not create any rights or benefits enforceable by any person not a party to it (within the meaning of The Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999).
Neither party shall have any liability under or be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement for any delays or failures in performance of this Agreement which result from circumstances beyond the reasonable control of that party. The party affected by such circumstances shall promptly notify the other party in writing whether such circumstances cause a delay or failure in performance and when they cease to do so. If such circumstances continue for a continuous period of more than 2 weeks, either party may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party.
