Jewtor LLC Customer Terms of Service

Welcome to Jewtor LLC (“Jewtor”). By using our service, you agree to these Terms of Service. Please read them carefully.

1. Description of Services

Jewtor connects independent tutoring professionals with families and individuals seeking educational and tutoring services.

2. Student Registration and Responsibility

All agreements and financial arrangements must be established by an adult or, for minor students, by a parent or legal guardian. The registering adult assumes full responsibility for coordinating schedules and overseeing participation.

3. Billing, Payments, and Cancellations

  • Rates and Fees: All tutoring sessions are billed at the rates provided to you in writing via email or invoice from Jewtor.
  • Payment Due Dates: Invoices are due within three business days of the invoice date. Payment must be rendered using Jewtor’s designated payment processor prior to or by the stated due date.
  • Late Payments & Service Suspension: Unpaid balances past the due date may be subject to a late fee of $15 or 1.5% per month, whichever is higher. Jewtor reserves the right to suspend or cancel upcoming scheduled sessions if an account has an outstanding past-due balance.
  • Cancellations: If you need to cancel or reschedule a lesson, you must notify the tutor by the night before the scheduled session. Lessons missed or canceled after this timeframe will be billed at the full rate.

4. Platform Use and Safety

  • Online Platform Use: All tutoring sessions will take place on Jewtor’s designated online video platform for safety and quality assurance.
  • Adult Students: For adult students, all scheduling, logistics, and feedback are handled directly between the student and the tutor.
  • Minor Students: To ensure student safety, all communications regarding scheduling, logistics, and feedback for minor students must occur exclusively between tutors and the student’s parent or legal guardian. Direct communication between tutors and minor students outside of lessons is strictly prohibited.

5. Non-Circumvention

You agree to book and pay for all tutoring services provided by any tutor introduced to you via Jewtor exclusively through Jewtor. You may not bypass Jewtor to arrange off-platform tutoring services or direct private payments with Jewtor tutors during the term of service and for a period of twelve (12) months following your last session.

6. Lifecycle Events

You are free to independently contract with a tutor to officiate a Bar/Bat Mitzvah or other lifecycle event, and doing so shall not be deemed a violation of the non-circumvention provision. Any such contract is an external arrangement completely outside of this agreement; Jewtor does not manage, coordinate, or receive payment for these events, assumes no liability for them, and you release Jewtor from any related claims.

7. Session Recording Consent

For safety, quality assurance, and internal monitoring purposes, you acknowledge, consent, and agree that online tutoring sessions conducted through Jewtor LLC and its third-party platform providers (including Lessonspace) may be digitally recorded. Recordings are hosted on third-party servers and are automatically and permanently purged ninety (90) days following the lesson date in accordance with standard retention schedules. By utilizing our services, you acknowledge, consent, and agree that:

  • No Archive Obligation: Jewtor LLC does not maintain long-term archives of lesson recordings and has no obligation to store, maintain, or retrieve recordings beyond the 90-day retention window.
  • Standard Procedure (No Spoliation): The routine, automated deletion of recordings by Lessonspace or Jewtor LLC after 90 days is a standard operational procedure and shall not constitute the spoliation, destruction, or improper withholding of evidence.
  • Platform Liability Waiver: Jewtor LLC shall not be liable for any technical failures, storage unavailability, recording glitches, or routine deletion of recordings hosted on third-party platforms.

8. Student Safety & Conduct Policy

Jewtor LLC is committed to providing a safe, respectful, and supportive learning environment. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for any form of physical, verbal, sexual, or emotional abuse, harassment, or misconduct.

All tutors undergo background checks prior to engagement; however, you acknowledge and agree that tutors operate as independent contractors. Any alleged improper conduct, safety concerns, abuse, or unlawful behavior by a tutor or student must be reported immediately to Jewtor LLC management and, as appropriate, law enforcement authorities.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Jewtor LLC shall not be vicariously or directly liable for the unauthorized, intentional, or criminal acts or omissions of third parties or independent contractors, as such acts fall entirely outside the scope of authorized tutoring services.

9. Limitation of Liability

While our tutors bring expert knowledge and instruction to their lessons, a student’s confidence and fluency depend on consistent practice and review at home, lesson attendance, dedication, and family support. Because every student learns at their own pace, Jewtor LLC cannot guarantee specific religious or educational outcomes, grades, or religious service performance abilities.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Jewtor LLC, its owners, managers, officers, agents, and independent contractors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from our services or event outcomes. Jewtor LLC’s total aggregate liability for any claim or dispute shall not exceed the total fees paid by you to Jewtor LLC in the three (3) months preceding the claim.

10. Dispute Resolution

These terms and any dispute arising out of them shall be governed exclusively by the laws of the State of Wyoming without regard to conflict of law principles.

  • Mandatory Informal Resolution (30-Day Cure Period): Before initiating any formal legal proceeding, arbitration, or small-claims filing, both you and Jewtor LLC agree to make a good-faith effort to resolve any dispute informally. To initiate this process, the disputing party must send a written Notice of Dispute to the other party describing the nature of the claim, the facts, and the requested relief. Notices to Jewtor LLC must be sent via email to in**@****or.com. Both parties agree to negotiate in good faith for a period of thirty (30) days from the date the Notice of Dispute is received. Neither party may initiate arbitration or court proceedings until this 30-day period expires.
  • Small Claims Court Option: Notwithstanding the agreement to arbitrate below, either party may bring an individual action in a court of small claims having jurisdiction, provided the claim seeks relief solely within the monetary limits and scope of that small claims court.
  • Binding Virtual Arbitration: If a dispute cannot be resolved through the informal resolution process within thirty (30) days, any remaining claim, dispute, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the services provided, or the relationship between the parties shall be settled exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration hearing shall be conducted virtually via videoconference unless both parties mutually agree otherwise in writing. The arbitration shall be governed by the substantive laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this agreement. Each party shall pay its own arbitration administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with the applicable rules of the arbitration provider. However, if the arbitrator determines that either the substance of a claim or the relief sought is frivolous, brought in bad faith, or intended for an improper purpose, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney’s fees, legal costs, and arbitration expenses. The arbitrator shall not consolidate more than one person’s claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding unless both parties explicitly consent in writing.
  • Class Action Waiver: YOU AND JEWTOR LLC AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

11. Modifications to Terms

Jewtor reserves the right to modify these terms from time to time. We will provide notice of updates by email or by posting the revised text on our website.

By continuing to use Jewtor’s services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service.
