Terms of Service

You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Website. By using the Website and by agreeing to this Agreement, you warrant and represent that you are at least 18 years of age. To become a tutor or a freelancer, users must first apply to become a tutor through the link Become a Tutor. Peachtree Educational Counseling Services, LLC reserves the right to approve or deny any tutor application at its sole discretion.

Tutor DB is a platform that facilitates the connection between clients and independent contractors (tutors/freelancers) who provide tutoring and freelancing services. Peachtree Educational Counseling Services, LLC does not directly provide any tutoring or freelancing services and is not responsible for the quality of service provided by tutors/freelancers. The online one-to-one tutoring sessions are facilitated through our free e-learning tools wihtout any warranty of any kind. It is possible that establishing connections and performing the handshaking steps can take a short amount of time. This usually does not take more than a few seconds and it's out of our control. As a result, until the session and the related services are fully launched a few seconds will be passed. Please note that the timer starts counting the session duration as soon as the session is started (ie, right before the aforementioned signaling and handshaking process starts). Please note also that at any point of time during a session, you can pause the timer. Please also note that pausing and resuming sessions may also take up to around 1-2 seconds to become effective, depending on your internet speed.

Tutors are not allowed to solve graded exams/quizzes/homework questions that are not due yet at the time of the session. Neither are they allowed to complete or otherwise help in completing coding projects that will be graded in any way (e.g., school projects, coding assignments, interview questions, etc.).

While we do encourage tutors and mentees to refer prospective students/tutors to our platform, we advise complying with any applicable terms of services if you got to know the referred user on other platforms.

Before clients can start a freelancing or tutoring session, they need to purchase Tutor DB Credits to use on our platform. Credits can be purchased with credit or debit cards. A 2.99% convenience fee is due upon purchase of credits. This fee is charged by our 3rd party payment processor, not us and is not refundable. The unused credits are refundable upon request only within the first 90 days of purchase. This does not include the non-refundable fees charges for services that have already been used (e.g., the payment processing fee). Clients can use their purchased credits to pay for services they receive from tutors/freelancers or to create Featured Requests.

Our fees, promotions, and bonus points are subject to change and will depend on multiple factors, including the costs and revenue of our platform. We will always consider users of our platform as our priority and will obviously consider their satisfaction when adjusting the fees.

Under certain conditions as stipulated by our terms, clients may be eligible for a refund of the service they have received from tutors/freelancers. This can be in the form of a courtesy credit per Tutor DB's discretion or due to a dispute that has been resolved in favor of the client. In order to be able to dispute a session, the student needs to submit his request before the payment for the session is released to the tutor/freelancer. Currently, each session remains in a pending state for 72 hours. Once the payment is released there is no way to dispute the session.
