Tutors hereby understand that being contacted by the coordinators for a particular assignment does not guarantee the Assignment allocation to the contacted tutor.

8. ASSIGNMENT TERMINATION

After you are allocated to an Assignment, you understand and agree that the first lesson of the Assignment is a trial lesson for the student and that if for whatever reason you are rejected as a tutor after the first lesson, no remuneration will be offered by both the Student and Manytutors. Remuneration is offered by the Student only with the commencement of the second lesson.

There are no contracts between the Student and the tutor for an Assignment unless otherwise arranged. You hereby understand and agree that if you break any contractual agreement, you will be liable for all claims and damages indemnified by the contractual parties involved.

Although there are no contracts between the Student and tutor by default, by courtesy, you hereby agree that you will give a minimum of one month’s notice to the Student if you wish to withdraw from the Assignment, failing which your outstanding remuneration will be forfeited.

After you have agreed to take up an Assignment and a commencement date has been arranged between the Student and you, you understand and agree that in the event that you wish to withdraw from the Assignment before the first lesson, you must give ManyTutors a minimum of two days’ notice, failing which you will be liable to pay a penalty charge of S$80.00 to Manytutors.

9. ASSIGNMENT REMUNERATION

As a tuition agency, Manytutors quote the market rate according to the Assignment criteria. Tutors may choose to accept or negotiate the price when they are contacted for the Assignment. Tutors are paid by the Students at the end of every tuition cycle, which is the total number of lessons for 4 weeks, or otherwise arranged between the Student and the tutor. The final agreed rates between the Student and the tutor before the first lesson commences are not subjected to further negotiations for a minimum of 3 months unless initiated by Manytutors.

As commission, Manytutors collect the first half (2 weeks) of the Assignment remuneration either from the Students directly or from the assigned tutors if the tutors have been paid the full payment. You understand and agree that all remuneration of the first half of the first tuition cycle of an Assignment belongs to Manytutors. In the event that an assignment is requested to be terminated prematurely either by the Student or the tutor before the first tuition cycle ends, you are only entitled to remuneration from the second half of the tuition cycle (third week) onwards. You also agree and understand that remuneration of assignments terminated within the first half of the tuition cycle will belong entirely to Manytutors.

Manytutors is not liable to pay any remuneration to the tutor regardless of the event and scenario. Manytutors could, however, collect payment from the Student on the tutor’s behalf. You understand and agree that any remuneration claimed from Manytutors on such an event is liable to a $10.00 administrative charge from the amount payable to you that Manytutors collects from the Student. You also understand and agree that it is your duty and not Manytutors’ to request for outstanding payment from the Students to be collected.

10. MODIFICATIONS TO SERVICE

Manytutors reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the service (or any part thereof) with or without notice. You agree that Manytutors shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the service.

11. GENERAL INFORMATION

Entire Agreement. The Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between you and Manytutors and governs your membership as a Manytutors tutor, superseding any prior agreements between you and Manytutors with respect to your membership.

Waiver and Severability of Terms. The failure of Manytutors to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms and Conditions shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Terms and Conditions is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms and Conditions remain in full force and effect.
