Financial Control: Tutors set their own rates (within platform parameters), may provide services through multiple platforms or directly to clients, are responsible for their own taxes and business expenses, and do not receive employee benefits.

Tutor Verification Disclaimer
WHILE WE MAY PERFORM CERTAIN VERIFICATION PROCEDURES ON TUTORS, SUCH VERIFICATION IS LIMITED IN SCOPE AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A GUARANTEE OR WARRANTY OF ANY TUTOR'S QUALIFICATIONS, COMPETENCE, BACKGROUND, CHARACTER, OR SUITABILITY. WE DISCLAIM ALL LIABILITY FOR THE ACCURACY OF TUTOR CREDENTIALS, RESULTS OF ANY BACKGROUND CHECKS, AND ANY TUTOR'S CONDUCT OR PERFORMANCE. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR EVALUATING THE QUALIFICATIONS AND SUITABILITY OF ANY TUTOR.
5. User Accounts

Nothing in this section limits your rights to dispute unauthorized or fraudulent charges with your payment provider, and we will not take adverse action against users who exercise their legitimate chargeback rights for unauthorized transactions, fraudulent charges, or billing errors.

- View your calendar list to provide integration options
We access only the minimum data necessary to provide scheduling functionality. We do not read, store, or access personal calendar events unrelated to our tutoring services. You may revoke calendar access at any time through your Google account settings.

The Company fully supports and facilitates such reporting obligations. We cooperate with law enforcement and child protective services as required by law. Violations of these professional boundaries may result in immediate account termination and, where appropriate, reporting to authorities.
Session Recording Policy
Platform Recording: The Score Movers does not record tutoring sessions. We do not capture, store, or retain audio, video, or screen content from tutoring sessions unless explicitly disclosed and consented to for a specific purpose.
User Recording: Recording of tutoring sessions by students, parents, or tutors is permitted only with the advance written consent of all participants.

15. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
Informal Resolution
Before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding, you agree to first contact us at info@thescoremovers.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days. If we cannot resolve the dispute informally, either party may proceed as set forth below.
Binding Arbitration
Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, including the formation, interpretation, breach, or termination thereof, shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator in Wilmington, Delaware, or at another mutually agreed location. At either party's request, the arbitration may be conducted by telephone, video conference, or other remote means, rather than in person, to reduce costs and increase accessibility.
The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award the same remedies that would be available in court.
Delegation of Arbitrability
The parties agree that the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this arbitration agreement is void or voidable. This delegation provision shall survive termination of these Terms.
Class Action Waiver
YOU AND THE SCORE MOVERS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.
Mass Arbitration Protocol
If 25 or more similar arbitration demands are filed against the Company within a 60-day period ("Mass Filing"), the following procedures shall apply: (a) a random selection of up to 10 demands shall be designated as "Bellwether Cases" to proceed to individual arbitration, while all other demands shall be stayed pending resolution; (b) following resolution of the Bellwether Cases, the parties shall participate in a single mediation session to attempt global resolution; (c) if mediation fails, remaining demands shall proceed in batches of 25 cases every 90 days; (d) any claimant may opt out of this protocol and pursue their claim in court, subject to the class action waiver herein.
Statute of Limitations
EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. FAILURE TO BRING SUCH CLAIM WITHIN THE ONE-YEAR PERIOD SHALL RESULT IN PERMANENT WAIVER OF SUCH CLAIM. THIS LIMITATION DOES NOT APPLY TO CLAIMS THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED UNDER APPLICABLE STATE OR FEDERAL LAW.
Costs and Fees
Each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees and costs in connection with any arbitration, except as required by applicable law or AAA rules. If the arbitrator determines that a claim or defense was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, the arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys' fees and costs to the prevailing party.
Confidentiality
Arbitration proceedings, including filings, evidence, and awards, shall be treated as confidential by both parties, except: (a) as required by law; (b) to enforce an arbitration award; (c) as otherwise agreed by the parties; (d) to the extent necessary to consult with legal counsel, financial advisors, or immediate family members; or (e) as necessary to prepare for or conduct arbitration proceedings. This confidentiality provision does not prevent you from filing complaints with government agencies, seeking legal advice, or exercising any rights available under applicable consumer protection laws.
Exceptions
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement of intellectual property rights. Additionally, claims for amounts within the jurisdiction of small claims court may be brought in small claims court in New Castle County, Delaware, or in the county where you reside.
Opt-Out
You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to info@thescoremovers.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of the arbitration agreement. If you opt out, you may pursue claims in court.
16. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
For any disputes not subject to arbitration, you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New Castle County, Delaware. You irrevocably waive any objection to the laying of venue in, and any claim of inconvenient forum with respect to, such courts.
Jury Trial Waiver
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND TIBERA LLC EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE.
17. Force Majeure
We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations under these Terms due to causes beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, pandemics, epidemics, strikes, power outages, internet or telecommunications failures, or acts of hackers or third-party service providers.

The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
Waiver
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative.
