Student Parent Agreement

This Student Parent Agreement (the “Agreement”) is a legal agreement between you and MentorBuddies, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company (“MentorBuddies”).

By clicking on the “I AGREE” link, you are agreeing that you will be bound by and are becoming a party to this Agreement. If you do not agree to all of the terms of this Agreement, click the “I DO NOT AGREE” link.

1. MentorBuddies’ Services. MentorBuddies introduces high school students with skills in academics, music, sports and/or other areas (“Mentors”) to parents or guardians of students who desire to receive individualized lessons (“Lessons”) in their own homes or other locations, and provides administrative services relating to the billing, payment, scheduling and collections for such Lessons. MentorBuddies acts as the intermediary between the parties in connection with the provision of the Lessons.

2. Relationship Among You, the Student(s), Mentor and MentorBuddies. By submitting the registration form and accepting this Agreement, you hereby represent that you are (i) over the age of eighteen (18), (ii) the parent or guardian of the student(s) listed on the registration form (the “Student”) and (iii) the primary contact for the Student’s account. You hereby agree to the terms of this Agreement, any terms set forth in the registration form, and the other terms relating to the provision of Lessons contained on www.MentorBuddies.com (the Site). You also acknowledge and agree that any Mentor that is referred to you by MentorBuddies is retained by you as your independent contractor. The Mentor is not an employee of MentorBuddies and MentorBuddies is not responsible for the Mentor’s activities or conduct in connection with your engagement. MentorBuddies is providing introduction and administration services only.

3. No Screening. You acknowledge and agree that MentorBuddies performs no screening, background checks, criminal offender record information (CORI) checks, or reference checks of Mentors. You may wish to have a background check performed on any Mentor you engage. In such case, please arrange for such background check independently with the Mentor. Upon your request, MentorBuddies shall provide you with names of companies that perform background checks. Further, you acknowledge and agree that MentorBuddies does not confirm or verify that the Mentor has the experience, background or skills listed by the Mentor in his or her profile. It is your sole responsibility to determine the qualifications and suitability of any Mentor prior to engaging and continuing to receive Lessons from such Mentor.

4. Supervision. If the Mentor is under the age of 18, it is the MentorBuddies policy to require that you attend, and remain present in person during the conduct of, each Lesson. Any arrangement to the contrary shall be solely between you and the Mentor, and you hereby waive, and MentorBuddies hereby disclaims, any and all responsibility or liability with respect to any such arrangement.

5. Payment. You agree to pay all instructional fees directly to MentorBuddies, as payment agent for the Mentor, pursuant to the payment terms and requirements listed in this Agreement and on the MentorBuddies Site. You hereby agree not to make any payment directly to the Mentor. Payments made directly to the Mentor will not be credited to your account.

6. Credit Card. MentorBuddies requires your submission of a valid credit card as a condition to booking any Lessons. If your credit card is denied for any reason or there are any other issues in connection with charging your credit card, a replacement credit card shall be immediately required. MentorBuddies utilizes the transaction processing platform Authorize.net to process credit card payments, and you hereby agree to the Authorize.net terms and conditions found at www.authorize.net.

7. Cancellation. By submitting the registration form, you are committing to pay for all Lessons that your Student receives. To properly cancel a Lesson, you must contact the Mentor through the MentorBuddies communications platform or otherwise at least 24 hours in advance of the scheduled Lesson, in which case you will not be charged for the Lesson. If you cancel any Lesson with less than 24 hours’ notice, you shall be charged in full for such cancelled Lesson. You will not be charged for any Lesson cancelled by the Mentor. Please contact MentorBuddies if you have additional questions regarding Lesson cancellations.

8. Refunds. If you have paid in advance for any Lessons, and the Lesson is cancelled for any reason, you and the Mentor shall use good faith efforts to agree to a rescheduled Lesson to which your prepaid fee shall apply. In the event you and the Mentor are unable to agree to a rescheduled Lesson, then upon your request MentorBuddies shall refund the amount you paid for the unreceived Lesson(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall be charged in full for any Lesson you cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice, as described above.

9. Your Representations.
