2.7 Listing Assignments and Matching
2.7.1 You may use the App to seek Teachers to perform Assignments.
2.7.2 When you list an Assignment on the App you will be asked to input information about the type, nature, location and payment of/for that Assignment. Once you provide this, any other requested, information the App will automatically contact Teachers that may be able to accept and perform that Assignment.

The point at which you engage a Teacher for an Assignment in this fashion is referred to in this agreement as “Task Acceptance”.
2.7.4 You accept that Teachers are not employees of ClassDisco and that you will be engaging them as independent private contractors. This means that ClassDisco shall have no liability or responsibility for the quality of a Teacher’s work and will not be a party to any contract for services that you may enter into with them.

2.8 Accepting Assignments
2.8.1 From time to time you may be offered the opportunity to accept Assignments using the App. Where this occurs it means that an Assignor has listed an Assignment of a type in respect of which you have registered an interest, or been matched as having a possible interest based on your skills, education and other information you may have loaded to the App. If you wish to be considered by the Assignor in respect of such an Assignment, you may indicate this using the App’s functionality. The fee payable to you for an Assignment (the “Assignment Fee”) will be listed on the App at the point at which you are able to accept offers to complete Assignments.
2.8.2 By indicating that you wish to be considered by an Assignor in respect of a particular Assignment, as described in clause 2.8.1, you are making an offer to enter into a binding contract to perform that Assignment on the relevant date for the fee offered.
2.8.3 If, after considering all expressions of interest received from Teachers, the relevant Assignor accepts your offer to enter into a contract for the Assignment with you, then you will be notified and will have entered into a binding legal agreement, whereby you are undertaking to perform and they are undertaking to compensate you for performing the relevant Assignment. The point at which you are engaged for an Assignment in this fashion is referred to in this agreement as “Task Acceptance”.
2.8.4 When you perform Assignments you will be doing so as an independent contractor and not as an employee of ClassDisco. This means that ClassDisco shall have no liability or responsibility for the quality of your work and will not be a party to any contract for services that you may enter into with Assignors. If there is any dispute as to the quality of your work, or if you cause any loss or damage to an Assignor, you will be personally liable for it and ClassDisco shall not be a party to, or provide any assistance in relation to, any related dispute.
2.8.5 You may be liable to pay tax on any payments that you may receive for the performance of Assignments. This is your personal responsibility and you agree that ClassDisco shall have no responsibility or liability to you in respect of such payments. ClassDisco reserves the right to disclose details of any and all Assignments performed by you, and of any fees in respect of such Assignments which may have been paid to you, to relevant tax collection authorities on their request.
2.9. Commision and Payment
2.9.1 When Task Acceptance occurs, the payment due to the relevant Teacher will automatically be collected by ClassDisco. Payment for the Assignment will not take place until the Assignor has rated the relevant Teacher’s performance of the Assignment in question using the App.
2.9.2 If the Assignor does not rate a Teacher’s performance in a timely fashion, ClassDisco reserves the right to transfer payment to the relevant Teacher after 14 days have passed from the date on which the Assignment was due to take place. In such circumstances the decision to refrain from rating a Teacher’s performance shall be deemed to indicate the Assignor’s satisfaction with their work. Therefore you accept that there may be a delay of up to 31 days between the date on which an Assignment takes place and the date on which the Assignment Fee is paid.
2.9.3 If however the Assignor does not consider that an Assignment has been completed by a Teacher satisfactorily or at all, then the Assignor should report this to ClassDisco using the App’s functionality within 24 hours of the date on which completion of the Assignment was due.
2.9.4 In consideration for an Assignor’s use of the App ClassDisco may charge the Assignor a fee (described herein as a “Commission”) for each Task Acceptance. The basis on which we calculate the value of the Commission is set out on our website. The Commission will be collected automatically on Task Acceptance.
2.9.5 Please note the terms of clause 2.10, as set out below, carefully. ClassDisco will not be a party to any dispute between an Assignor and a Teacher about whether a fee, or the return of a fee, is due.
2.10 ClassDisco is not a Party to Assignment Agreements
2.10.1 You accept that any agreement which you may reach with a Teacher or Assignor using the App shall be a private contract between you and that Teacher or Assignor. ClassDisco shall not be responsible for, nor a party to, such agreements and the responsibility for settling any disputes arising from any such agreements shall be solely yours.
2.10.2 Accordingly, you release ClassDisco from all liability for claims, liabilities and losses arising from the type of agreements described in clause 5.1, and agree that ClassDisco shall have no liability for, or in relation to, any dispute which may arise between you and any other user for any reason.

10.2 Dispute Resolution. Please read this Arbitration Agreement carefully. It is part of your contract with Company and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
(a) Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with the Terms or the use of any product or service provided by the Company that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to, all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and the Company, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under the Terms.
(b) Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution. Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief. A Notice to the Company should be sent to: 221 River Street, 9th Floor, Hoboken, New Jersey 07030. After the Notice is received, you and the Company may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If you and the Company do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.
(c) Arbitration Rules. Arbitration shall be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section. If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of the arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Terms. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (“Arbitration Rules”) governing the arbitration are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the Arbitration Rules. Any hearing will be held in a location within 100 miles of your residence, unless you reside outside of the United States, and unless the parties agree otherwise. If you reside outside of the U.S., the arbitrator shall give the parties reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any oral hearings. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator grants you an award that is greater than the last settlement offer that the Company made to you prior to the initiation of arbitration, the Company will pay you the greater of the award or $2,500.00. Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney’s fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider.
(d) Additional Rules for Non-Appearance Based Arbitration. If non-appearance based arbitration is elected, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
(e) Time Limits. If you or the Company pursue arbitration, the arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the statute of limitations (i.e., the legal deadline for filing a claim) and within any deadline imposed under the AAA Rules for the pertinent claim.
(f) Authority of Arbitrator. If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and the Company, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages, and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the AAA Rules, and the Terms. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and the Company.
(g) Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and the Company in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND THE COMPANY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.
(h) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.
(i) Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.
(j) Severability. If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
(k) Right to Waive. Any or all of the rights and limitations set forth in this Arbitration Agreement may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Arbitration Agreement.
(l) Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Company.
(m) Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or the Company may bring an individual action in small claims court.
(n) Emergency Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Agreement.
(o) Claims Not Subject to Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets shall not be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.
(p) Choice of Law. This agreement is governed by the laws of the state of Delaware.
(q) Courts. In any circumstances where the foregoing Arbitration Agreement permits the parties to litigate in court, the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within New Castle County, Delaware, for such purpose.

10.5 Electronic Communications. The communications between you and Company use electronic means, whether you use the Site or send us emails, or whether Company posts notices on the Site or communicates with you via email. For contractual purposes, you (a) consent to receive communications from Company in an electronic form; and (b) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that Company provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if it were be in a hardcopy writing. The foregoing does not affect your non-waivable rights.
10.6 Entire Terms. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the use of the Site. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. The word “including” means “including without limitation”. If any provision of these Terms is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of these Terms will be unimpaired and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. Your relationship to Company is that of an independent contractor, and neither party is an agent or partner of the other. These Terms, and your rights and obligations herein, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without Company’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. Company may freely assign these Terms. The terms and conditions set forth in these Terms shall be binding upon assignees.
