Privacy Policy

Please refer to the EduQuencher Privacy Policy at https://eduquencher.com/privacy-policy for information on how EduQuencher collects, uses and discloses information about you.

A note about Student Data: The services of independent EduQuencher Tutors may be purchased directly from EduQuencher by providers of educational services, such as schools, school districts, or teachers (collectively referred to as "Schools") that use such services for educational purposes. When EduQuencher contracts with a School to provide tutoring services, we may collect or have access to Student Data (defined below), which may be provided by the School or by the student. We consider such Student Data to be strictly confidential and in general do not use such data for any purpose other than improving and providing tutoring services to the School or on the School's behalf. Our collection, use and sharing of Student Data is governed by this Agreement and any applicable laws and regulations including, in the U.S., provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ("FERPA"), the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") and applicable state laws, including without limitation the Illinois Student Online Personal Protection Act (SOPPA). Tutors who provide services to Schools under such an arrangement are expressly bound by these Terms of Use and the Student Data privacy provisions contained herein, and are required to maintain the confidentiality of Student Data.

Services

The Site offers a marketplace for those seeking tutoring services to connect with those seeking to provide tutoring services. As independent businesses engaged by Students, Tutors decide, are responsible for, and generally control the methods, materials, scheduling, frequency, duration and all other aspects of the tutoring they provide.

Students are responsible for selecting the right tutor for their needs. In making hiring decisions, Students should review and investigate each tutor's self-reported credentials, education, and experience, as well as reviews from other students. IF THE STUDENT IS YOUNGER THAN 18 YEARS OLD, ALL TUTORING SESSIONS SHOULD BE SUPERVISED BY A RESPONSIBLE ADULT.

EduQuencher controls and operates the Site from various locations in the United States and makes no representation that this website is accessible in all locations. EduQuencher services may not be available in your location, and available services may vary among locations. In addition, EduQuencher will attempt to deliver all correspondence sent via the Site's messaging system. EduQuencher does not, however, guarantee delivery of all messages.

To use the Site, you must obtain access to the Internet, either directly or through devices that access web-based content and pay any service fees or other costs associated with such access. In addition, you must provide all equipment necessary to make such connection to the Internet, including a computer and modem or other access device. If you are under eighteen (18) years of age, you may use the Site only with the involvement and consent of a parent, legal guardian, or at the direction of your School. Your School may impose additional policies regarding the use of the Site, with which you must comply.

If you utilize the EduQuencher Site to provide the Service to students in a School, you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of the School with the authority to bind the School to this Agreement, and that you agree to this Agreement on the School's behalf. If you contact EduQuencher to take any action with respect to an account, you represent and warrant that you have all necessary authority to request such action(s) from or on behalf of the accountholder (e.g., a School or Parent).

The U.S. Children's Online Privacy and Protection Act ("COPPA") requires that online service providers obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from children under 13. If you are a School providing the Service to children under 13, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to provide consent on behalf of parents for EduQuencher to collect information from students under 13 before allowing such students to access our Service. We recommend that all Schools provide appropriate disclosures to students and parents regarding their use of service providers such as EduQuencher and that they provide a copy of our Privacy Policy to parents.

Academic Honesty

EduQuencher's services are provided for the purpose of facilitating learning, and not to encourage or facilitate cheating or any other form of academic dishonesty. You shall not use the Site to inquire about, engage in, or aid or assist anyone with any form of academic dishonesty (for example, completing assignments or projects, writing papers or essays, taking (or helping to take) quizzes or examinations on someone's behalf), or to take any action that would violate the academic or conduct policies of a school, university, academic institution, or workplace.

School Accounts and Student Data

This Section applies to a School's use of EduQuencher services.

When EduQuencher is used by a School for an educational purpose, EduQuencher may collect or have access to Student Data that is provided by the School or by a student. "Student Data" is personal information that is directly related to an identifiable student and may include "educational records" as defined by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ("FERPA").

The School or the student, and not EduQuencher, owns and controls the Student Data. You authorize EduQuencher to access, collect, transmit, modify, display, and store Student Data to provide the Service and as described in this Agreement and in our Privacy Policy.

Compliance with Laws. In the U.S., EduQuencher may collect and process Student Data as a School Official with a legitimate educational interest pursuant to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ("FERPA"), 20 U.S.C. § 1232(g). Individually and collectively, we and our School Users agree to uphold our obligations under FERPA, COPPA, the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment ("PPRA"), applicable State laws relating to student data privacy, and with all other laws and regulations governing the protection of Student Data.

Use of Student Data. By submitting, providing us access to, or causing us to receive Student Data, you agree that EduQuencher may use the Student Data for the purposes of
(i) providing the Service,
(ii) improving and developing our Service,
(iii) enforcing our rights under these Terms, and (iv) as permitted with the School's or the User's consent.

Use of De-Identified or Anonymized Student Data. You agree that both before and after the term of the Agreement, EduQuencher may collect, analyze, use, and retain data derived from Student Data as well as data about users' access and use of the Service, for the purpose of operating, analyzing, improving or marketing the Service, developing new products or services, conducting research or other purposes, provided that EduQuencher may not share or publicly disclose information that is derived from Student Data unless such data is de-identified and/or anonymized such that it cannot reasonably identify a specific individual.

Disclosure of Student Data and Third-Party Service Providers. You acknowledge and agree that EduQuencher may provide access to Student Data to our employees and service providers which have a legitimate need to access such information to provide their services to us. We and our employees, affiliates, service providers, or agents involved in the handling, transmittal, and processing of Student Data will be required to maintain the confidentiality of such data. EduQuencher shall not share Student Data with third parties other than as described in this Agreement and in the EduQuencher Privacy Policy, or with consent of the School or parent.

Student Data Access and Deletion Requests. You may request that we delete Student Data in our possession at any time by providing such a request in writing, and we shall comply with such request within thirty (30) days, except that EduQuencher shall not be required to delete Student Data that has been moved to a personal account on the Service or as otherwise prohibited by law. A parent or student over the age of 18 seeking to access, modify, correct, or delete personal information in a student account that is connected to a School account will be instructed to contact the School to discuss data deletion or modification. EduQuencher is not required to delete data that has been derived from Student Data if such data is de-identified and/or anonymized such that it cannot reasonably identify a specific individual.

Data Security and Breach Notification. We have implemented administrative, physical, and technical safeguards designed to secure the personal information in EduQuencher's possession and control from unauthorized access, disclosure, and use. If an unauthorized party gains access to or has been disclosed Student Data (a "Security Event"), that we have collected or received through the Service under this Agreement, we will promptly notify the School. With respect to any Security Event which is not caused by the acts or omissions of EduQuencher or its agents, EduQuencher shall reasonably cooperate with the School's investigation of the Security Event, as the School requests, at the School's reasonable expense, but EduQuencher shall not indemnify a School for costs associated with the Security Event. EduQuencher shall be responsible for the timing, content, cost, and method of notice and compliance with such laws as they relate to users that are not associated with a School account.

Third Party Reports

EduQuencher may utilize third-party consumer reporting agencies that perform, among other things, criminal background checks, sex offender registry checks, motor vehicle records checks, credit checks, and identification verifications ("consumer reports"). EduQuencher does not endorse or make any representations or warranties regarding the reliability of such consumer reports or the accuracy, timeliness, or completeness of any information in the consumer reports. EduQuencher does not independently verify information in the consumer reports.

EduQuencher may collect, use, and disclose the information in the consumer reports. EduQuencher may, in its sole discretion, review and rely on the information in the consumer reports in deciding whether to suspend or terminate a Tutor or to investigate a complaint about a Tutor, but EduQuencher shall not be responsible or liable in any way in the event that any information in the consumer reports about any person, including without limitation any Tutor, is not accurate, timely, or complete. Tutors who are the subject of consumer reports may contact the service provider to dispute the accuracy, timeliness, or completeness of such information. EduQuencher reserves the right to suspend and/or terminate a Tutor based on information in the consumer reports or for any other reason in EduQuencher's sole discretion.

EduQuencher may make available one or more third-party verification services that enable Users of the Site to inquire about information including, but not limited to, another User's identity and criminal history. Use of a third-party verification service is voluntary for both the party requesting the verification and the party undergoing the verification. You agree that EduQuencher shall not be held responsible or liable in any way if any information provided by a third-party verification service is inaccurate. When a third-party verification service is used, you warrant that you will comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC 1681.

See https://www.ftc.gov/legal-library/browse/statutes/fair-credit-reporting-act for details.

Subscription Terms

This section outlines additional terms that apply to your use of EduQuencher's subscription-based collections as a learner ("Subscription Plans"). By subscribing, you agree to the terms in this section. Note: Use of EduQuencher for institutional or enterprise purposes may be governed by a separate agreement between EduQuencher and the subscribing organization.

Subscription Plans. When you subscribe to a Subscription Plan, you receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and view the content included in that plan via EduQuencher's platform. Your Subscription Plan may include access to interactive environments, such as workspaces or live sessions ("Interactive Sessions"), which may be provided by third-party partners. These sessions are subject to their own terms and usage limits, and you are responsible for complying with any third-party terms. The scope, features, and pricing of your Subscription Plan are determined by the specific plan you purchase or renew. Subscriptions are non-transferable and may not be shared. EduQuencher reserves the right to revoke access to any content within a Subscription Plan for legal or policy reasons at any time and at its sole discretion, such as if we lose the rights to offer certain content.

Account Management. You may cancel your subscription by going to your profile section and cancel subscription button. If you cancel your subscription to a Subscription Plan, your access to that Subscription Plan will automatically end on the last day of your billing period. Subscriptions are not pro-rated basis. On cancellation, you will not be entitled to receive a refund or credit of any fees already paid for your subscription, unless otherwise required by applicable law. For clarity, cancellation of a subscription does not terminate your EduQuencher account.

Free Trials & Renewals. Your subscription may begin with a free trial, the duration of which will be specified during sign-up. EduQuencher determines eligibility for free trials at its sole discretion and may limit access or duration. We reserve the right to terminate a free trial if we determine ineligibility. At the end of the free trial, the subscription fee for the next billing cycle will be charged automatically unless you cancel before the trial ends. Subscriptions renew automatically based on your selected plan (e.g., monthly or annually).

Payments and Billing. Subscription fees are listed at the time of purchase. Taxes may be added as required by law. Payments are non-refundable, and no credits are issued for partially used periods unless required by law. Refund eligibility may vary by location. To subscribe, you must provide a valid payment method. By subscribing, you authorize EduQuencher and its payment providers to process payments using your billing information. Subscriptions renew automatically, and fees are charged to your payment method at the start of each term. If your payment method is updated by our payment provider, you authorize us to continue charging the applicable fees. If payment fails or a chargeback is granted, we may suspend or terminate your subscription. EduQuencher reserves the right to modify Subscription Plans or adjust pricing at its sole discretion. Any changes will take effect after notifying you, unless otherwise required by law.

Using EduQuencher at Your Own Risk

EduQuencher is a platform that enables educators to create and publish learning content, and allows learners to engage with instructors for educational purposes. As with any open platform where users can share content and interact, there may be risks involved, and you use EduQuencher at your own discretion. EduQuencher does not review or edit content for legal compliance and is not in a position to verify the legality or accuracy of the content shared by instructors. We do not exercise editorial control over the content available on the platform and therefore cannot guarantee its reliability, validity, accuracy, or truthfulness. If you choose to access content, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for evaluating the information provided. You may encounter content that you find offensive, inappropriate, or objectionable. EduQuencher is not responsible for filtering such content and assumes no liability for your access to or enrollment in any course or session, to the extent permitted by law. This includes content related to health, wellness, or physical activities. You acknowledge the inherent risks associated with such content—including potential illness, injury, or other adverse outcomes—and accept full responsibility for your choices before, during, and after engaging with it. When interacting directly with instructors or other learners, please exercise caution regarding the personal information you share. While EduQuencher restricts the types of information instructors may request, we do not control how users handle the information they obtain. For your safety, we recommend not sharing personal contact details such as your email address or phone number. EduQuencher does not employ instructors and is not responsible for any interactions between instructors and learners. We are not liable for any disputes, claims, injuries, losses, or damages that may arise from such interactions. Additionally, our platform may contain links to third-party websites that we do not own or control. EduQuencher is not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or any other aspect of these external sites. We encourage you to review their terms and privacy policies before engaging with them.

Copyright Infringement

EduQuencher respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask our Users to do the same. Accordingly, Users may not post, modify, distribute, or reproduce in any way any content on the Site that is copyrighted material you do not own or have permission to use, without obtaining prior written consent of the copyright owner. EduQuencher reserves the right, in its discretion, to remove any content if we believe it may infringe the copyright rights of others, and/or to terminate the accounts of Users who we believe to be infringers.

If you believe that your work has been copied and posted on the Site in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, we will respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA").

If you believe in good faith that content or material hosted on the Site infringes your copyright, you (or your agent) may send EduQuencher a notice requesting that the content or material be removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must include:

• A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to allow EduQuencher to locate it;
• The name, address, telephone number, and email address of the complaining party;
• A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the content is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
• A statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send us a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.loc.gov/copyright for details.

EduQuencher's agent for notice of claims of copyright or other intellectual property infringement can be reached as follows:

UNDER FEDERAL LAW, IF YOU KNOWINGLY MISREPRESENT THAT ONLINE MATERIAL IS INFRINGING, YOU MAY BE SUBJECT TO CRIMINAL PROSECUTION FOR PERJURY AND CIVIL PENALTIES, INCLUDING MONETARY DAMAGES, COURT COSTS, AND ATTORNEYS' FEES.

Please note that this procedure is exclusively for notifying EduQuencher that your copyrighted material has been infringed. The preceding requirements are intended to comply with EduQuencher's rights and obligations under the DMCA, including 17 U.S.C. §512(c), but do not constitute legal advice.
In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, EduQuencher has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, Users who are deemed to be repeat infringers.

Injunction

Notwithstanding the Arbitration terms set forth herein, Users agree that any material breach of the Terms will result in irreparable harm to EduQuencher for which damages would be an inadequate remedy and, therefore, in addition to its rights and remedies otherwise available at law, EduQuencher reserves the right to seek equitable relief through the court system, including both a preliminary and permanent injunction, if such a breach occurs. You waive any requirement for the posting of a bond or other security if EduQuencher seeks such an injunction.

EduQuencher may also delete, or bar access to or use of, all related information and files. EduQuencher will not be liable to Users or any third party for any modification, suspension, or termination of service, or loss of related information.

EduQuencher may amend these Terms at any time by posting the amended terms on this Site. Your continued use of the Site following such update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to any of the terms in this Agreement or to any future terms in a future revision of this Agreement, do not use or access (or continue to access) the Site.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, EduQuencher shall not make any material change to the Terms that relate to the collection or use of Student Data without first giving notice to the school or parent and providing a choice before the Student Data is used in a materially different manner than was disclosed when the information was collected.

Dispute Resolution & Agreement to Arbitrate (BBB)

AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE. You and we agree to submit any dispute arising under this Agreement, with the exception of disputes alleging criminal or statutory violations, to binding arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the Better Business Bureau (Binding). A volunteer BBB arbitrator will render a decision that the arbitrator considers to be fair; in doing so, the arbitrator is not required to apply legal principles. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding on both you and us, and judgment on the decision may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. All administrative fees for the arbitration will be paid by the business. Further information about BBB arbitration may be obtained by calling the BBB Serving New Jersey at 609‑588‑0808. This Agreement to Arbitrate affects important legal rights. Neither of us will be able to go to court for disputes that must be arbitrated.

Class/Representative Action Waiver. WITH RESPECT TO ALL PERSONS AND ENTITIES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY HAVE OBTAINED OR USED THE SERVICE FOR PERSONAL, COMMERCIAL OR OTHER PURPOSES, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES' INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND EDUQUENCHER ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND.

Equitable Relief; Limited Court Actions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that we may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that Monmouth County, New Jersey is the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for trial court proceedings if the arbitration provision is found to be unenforceable.

Governing Law; Waivers

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws, without regard to choice-of-law rules, of the State of New Jersey. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Monmouth County, New Jersey for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as set forth in the Arbitration provision above, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that Monmouth County, New Jersey is the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for trial court proceedings if the arbitration provision is found to be unenforceable.

WITH RESPECT TO ALL PERSONS AND ENTITIES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY HAVE OBTAINED OR USED THE SERVICE FOR PERSONAL, COMMERCIAL OR OTHER PURPOSES, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES' INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
