2.1 Description of Services
Scope: We provide a platform/service connecting Clients with Tutors for online educational instruction in various subjects.
No Guarantee: We do not guarantee a specific result or improvement in academic performance, grades, or test scores. The Tutor will provide instruction at a level reasonable to their ability.

Payment Method: Clients agree to provide valid credit card or payment information and authorize us to charge all applicable fees.
Billing Cycle: Payments are charged immediately upon booking. We are not obligated to provide services unless payment is provided in advance.
2.3 Cancellations, Rescheduling, and Refunds
Client Cancellation Policy: Clients must provide a minimum of 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule a session.
If proper notice is given: any charges/time applicable to the session will not be withdrawn from a user's account.
If less than required notice is given: client will be charged 50% of the scheduled session. Any remaining balance will be kept by us to be used for future sessions. No refunds will be given on cancelled sessions.

Refunds: Refunds are provided if requested in writing within 48 hours of the date of purchase or in the event of a Company initiated cancellation. Refunds are not issued in any other circumstances, including but not limited to: unused time/sessions, client initiated cancellations, and unsatisfactory Tutor/User performance.
3. Tutor Responsibilities, Credentials, and Verification
3.1 Company Vetting Process
Credential Verification: We verify the academic credentials, experience, and qualifications presented by all Tutors. This may include reviewing diplomas, transcripts, certifications, and previous work history.
Background Checks: We perform standard third-party criminal background checks on all Tutors.
3.2 Tutor Professional Conduct
Tutors are required to adhere to a professional Code of Conduct. Users may request a copy of this Code of Conduct by messaging admin@claritastutors.com.
Prohibited Conduct includes, but is not limited to: use of inappropriate language, discrimination or harassment based on protected characteristics, misrepresenting teaching/academic credentials, failure to maintain professional boundaries, and unauthorized recording of tutoring sessions without proper consent.
The Company reserves the right to immediately terminate a Tutor's employment/access to the platform for any violation of the Code of Conduct or these Terms.
Though not explicitly required by law, to maintain best practices all Tutors are considered mandatory reporters. This means that Tutors will report suspected or confirmed instances of abuse, neglect, or exploitation of minors to authorities.
3.3 The Role of the Tutor
Role: Tutors aim to promote genuine learning, skill development, and self-reliance. As such, Tutors will not complete any assignments, quizzes, or tests for a Client. Tutors seek to foster confidence and independence; they will decompose, simplify, and explain problems rather than solving them for a student. See Prohibited Activities for more information on the academic dishonesty policy.
3.4 Protection of Tutor Personal Information
Private Information: The Tutor’s private, personal information (including their home address, institution name, personal phone number, personal and academic email addresses, date of birth, and Social Security Number) is kept private by the Company and is not disclosed to Clients.
Public Credentials: Information regarding the Tutor's verified credentials, academic history, and general qualifications may be displayed on their public profile or shared with the Client for selection purposes.
