Privacy Policy/Terms of use

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of the Eshkolet website (“Site”) at www.eshkolet.com, any mobile device application or any other means provided or authorized by Eshkolet, LLC (“Eshkolet”), and any and all services provided by or through Eshkolet (together, the “Services”). Please read these Terms before using the Services. By using or continuing to use the Services, you represent and warrant that you understand, agree to, and accept all terms and conditions contained in these Terms.

General terms

Eshkolet provides the Services to Users seeking tutoring matching services (“Tutees”) and to Users providing tutoring services (“Tutors”), and to any other entity on whose behalf Users accept these Terms. The term “you” or “You” or “User” or “Users” shall refer to Tutees, Tutors or any person or entity who views, uses, accesses, or browses any content on, and/or creates, uploads, posts, sends, receives or stores content to the Site, or otherwise uses Services provided by or through Eshkolet. These Terms are entered into by and between Eshkolet and you, and you accept them by: (a) accessing or viewing the content of the Site; (b) contracting for Services through the Site; (c) registering as a Tutor through the Site; (d) using the Site in any other manner; and/or (e) acknowledging agreement with these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Services.

To the extent that anything in or associated with the Services is in conflict or inconsistent with these Terms, the Terms shall control. Any express waiver or failure to exercise promptly any right under the Terms will not create a continuing waiver or any expectation of non-enforcement. If any provision of the Terms is held invalid by any law or regulation of any government, or by any court or arbitrator, the parties agree that such provision will be replaced with a new provision that accomplishes the original business purpose, and the other provisions of the Terms will remain in full force and effect.

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY TO ENSURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND EACH PROVISION. THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS.

2. Privacy Policy

Please refer to the Eshkolet Privacy Policy below for information on how Eshkolet collects, uses and discloses information about you.

3. Services

The Site offers a matching service for those seeking tutoring services to connect with those seeking to provide tutoring services. Tutees and Tutors together decide, are responsible for, and generally control the methods, materials, scheduling, frequency, duration and all other aspects of the tutoring experience.

While it is Eshkolet’s goal to help Tutees improve their performance in school, unfortunately Eshkolet is not able to guarantee results.

Tutees may request refunds prior to commencing the Service, and within thirty (30) days of payment. Upon the earlier of Services commencing or the elapsing of thirty (30) days from payment, refunds will not be provided.

Tutor availability is on a first-come, first-served basis. When Tutors are no longer available for the grades and subjects desired, a refund will be offered.

Eshkolet matches Tutors to Tutees, but does not establish, mandate, or guarantee the frequency or duration of tutoring sessions.

Tutees are responsible for vetting any Tutor suggested using the Services. Recommendations are made on the basis of pre-set parameters agreed between Eshkolet and School, and should not be relied upon as a conclusion of fitness. In making decisions to use specific Tutors, Tutees should review and investigate each tutor’s character and fitness, including but not limited to their credentials, education, and experience. Eshkolet DOES NOT perform criminal background checks, sex offender registry checks, motor vehicle records checks, credit checks, and / or identification verifications or any other form of vetting of Tutors and Tutees. Eshkolet does not endorse or make any representations or warranties regarding the reliability of such Tutors or Tutees. To the extent a Tutor, Tutee, parents, or School feels such vetting is warranted, it is the Tutor’s, Tutee’s, parent’s, and / or school’s responsibility to do so. IF THE TUTOR AND / OR TUTEE IS YOUNGER THAN 18 YEARS OLD, ALL TUTORING SESSIONS SHOULD BE SUPERVISED BY A RESPONSIBLE ADULT.

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

To use the Services, 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 Services 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 Services.

If you contact Eshkolet 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 account-holder (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. The Site and Service are not intended for children under 13. If you are under 13 years old, please do not use the Site and / or Service. If you are a School making the Service available to children under 13, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to provide consent on behalf of parents for Eshkolet 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 Eshkolet and that they provide a copy of our Privacy Policy to parents.

4. Academic honesty

Eshkolet’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 Services 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.

12. Copyright Infringement

Eshkolet 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. Eshkolet 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”), a federal law that provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that content or material hosted on the Site infringes your copyright, you (or your agent) may send Eshkolet a notice requesting that the content or material be removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must include the following information: (a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works); (c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow Eshkolet to locate the content or material within the Site; (d) the name, address, telephone number and email address (if available) of the complaining party; (e) a statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the content or material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and (f) 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 of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. 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. Eshkolet’s agent for notice of claims of copyright or other intellectual property infringement can be reached as follows:

By email: info@eshkolet.com

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 Eshkolet that your copyrighted material has been infringed. The preceding requirements are intended to comply with Eshkolet's rights and obligations under the DMCA, including 17 U.S.C. §512(c), but do not constitute legal advice. It may be advisable to contact an attorney regarding your rights and obligations under the DMCA and other applicable laws.

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, Eshkolet has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, Users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. Eshkolet may also at its sole discretion limit access to the Site and/or terminate the accounts of any Users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

THE SITE OFFERS A MATCHING SERVICE FOR THOSE SEEKING TUTORING SERVICES TO CONNECT WITH THOSE SEEKING TO PROVIDE TUTORING SERVICES.

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ESHKOLET HAS NO CONTROL OVER THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY USER ON OR OFF THE SITE AND THAT ESHKOLET MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY ANY USER. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ESHKOLET IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PERFORMANCE OR CONDUCT, WHETHER ON OR OFF THE SITE, OF ANY USER. AS SUCH, ESHKOLET EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS, AND EACH USER EXPRESSLY RELEASES ESHKOLET FROM, ANY AND ALL LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY CONTROVERSIES, CLAIMS, SUITS, INJURIES AND/OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM AND/OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE SITE OR SERVICES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY ACTS AND/OR OMISSIONS OF USERS ON OR OFF THE SITE.

USERS OF THE SITE INTERACT DIRECTLY BETWEEN THEMSELVES. ESHKOLET WILL NOT BE INVOLVED IN ANY USER INTERACTIONS. ESHKOLET IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DISPUTES, CLAIMS, LOSS, INJURY, OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND THAT MIGHT ARISE DURING AND AFTER USER INTERACTION.

TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ESHKOLET IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF BUSINESS, REVENUE, PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, ELECTRONICALLY TRANSMITTED ORDERS, OR OTHER ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SITE, EVEN IF ESHKOLET HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN ADVISED OF, OR REASONABLY COULD HAVE FORESEEN, THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, HOWEVER THEY ARISE, WHETHER IN BREACH OF CONTRACT OR IN TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGES DUE TO: (A) THE USE OF OR THE INABILITY TO USE THE SITE; (B) THE COST OR PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS AND SERVICES RESULTING FROM ANY GOODS, DATA, INFORMATION, OR SERVICES PURCHASED OR OBTAINED, OR MESSAGES RECEIVED OR TRANSACTIONS ENTERED INTO, THROUGH OR FROM THE SITE; (C) STATEMENTS OR CONDUCT OF ANY THIRD PARTY ON THE SITE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF TRANSMISSION OR DATA, MALICIOUS OR CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR, OR FALSE OR FRAUDULENT TRANSACTIONS; OR (D) CONTENT OR INFORMATION USERS MAY DOWNLOAD, USE, MODIFY, OR DISTRIBUTE.

18. Arbitration

READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM Eshkolet. For any dispute with Eshkolet, you agree to first contact us at support@Eshkolet.com and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the unlikely event that Eshkolet has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this agreement, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, "Claims"), by binding arbitration. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing Eshkolet from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, Intellectual Property Rights or other proprietary rights.

19. Injunction

Notwithstanding the Arbitration terms set forth herein, Users agree that any material breach of the Terms will result in irreparable harm to Eshkolet for which damages would be an inadequate remedy and, therefore, in addition to its rights and remedies otherwise available at law, Eshkolet 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 Eshkolet seeks such an injunction.

20. Notices; modification and termination of services; amendment of terms

Eshkolet may provide notice to Users via email, regular mail, or posting notices or links to notices on the Site. Eshkolet reserves the right at any time to modify, suspend or terminate the Services (or any part thereof), and/or use of or access to them, with or without notice. Eshkolet may also delete, or bar access to or use of, all related information and files. Eshkolet will not be liable to Users or any third-party for any modification, suspension, or termination of service, or loss of related information. Eshkolet may amend these Terms at any time by posting the amended terms on this Site. Your continued use of the Site or the Services 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 or the Services.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Eshkolet 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.

21. 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 York. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Bronx County, New York 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 below, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that Bronx County, New York is the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for trial court proceedings if the arbitration provision below is found to be unenforceable.
