The Services consist of an online school that offers Classes for sale to Parents, and Parents may purchase such Classes for the benefit of their children. Different sections of the Site and Terms of Service affect Teachers and Parents differently, so please be sure to read these Terms of Service carefully.

Services Description: SCHOOLPLUS’s Service is online classes, designed for Parents to find and book Classes for the benefit of their 4-18 years old child or children. As an online school, we own, create, sell, resell, control, or manage any Classes. SCHOOPLUS's responsibilities are to: (i) provide the Site as a platform to facilitate the sale, purchase, and conduct of Classes, (ii) serve as an agent of each Teacher for the purpose of accepting payments from a Parent on behalf of the Teacher, and (iii) manage the quality and ensure the efficiency of each class. There are risks that you assume when dealing with other Users (including those who may be acting under false pretences). While We strive to provide a safe and welcoming environment for its Users, you agree that all of these risks are ultimately borne by you, and not SCHOOLPLUS. We do not control the behaviour of Users.
Your Registration Obligations: You will be required to register with Us in order to access and use certain features of the Service. If you choose to register for the Service, you agree to provide and maintain true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service’s registration form. Registration data and certain other information about you are governed by our Privacy Statement. You must be of legal age to form a binding contract to register for the Service (this age is 18). If you are not yet of legal age to form a binding contract, then you must get your Parent to read these Terms of Service and agree to them for you before you use the Service. If you are a Parent and you provide your consent to your child's use of the Service, then you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service with respect to your child’s use of the Service.
Member Account, Password and Security: You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account, if any, and are fully responsible for any and all activities that occur under your password or account.

Class Recordings: Classes that take place through ZOOM are automatically recorded by Us (“Class Recordings”). We value student and Teacher privacy, and our use of Class Recordings is extremely limited. Specifically, Class Recordings are made available only to the Teacher providing the Class in question, in order to allow them to (1) provide a viewable copy to students who missed the Class, or who wish to review the Class, for their personal educational purposes; and (2) review the Class Recording personally in order to improve their Classes. In addition, We may use Class Recordings to provide feedback to Teachers, to improve our Services, for customer support, and for compliance purposes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, SCHOOLPLUS may also delete Class Recordings earlier than 30 days under the following circumstances: (a) upon the request of a Parent for the deletion of their child’s personally identifiable information, or (b) upon the reasonable determination of SCHOOLPLUS that a Class Recording should be removed to protect the privacy of certain Users or because of violations of these Terms of Service. We will not use Class Recordings containing images of you (or your children) for promotional or any other purposes without your consent. By using the services, you consent to you and/or your child appearing in Class Recordings for the limited purposes set forth above.
Our School Basics: As a Teacher, you must provide SCHOOLPLUS with any information requested in order for Us to list the Class through its Services including but not limited to a description of the Classes and instructor background. We have sole discretion as to which Classes we list on the website and we reserve the right to reject any Classes or remove Classes from the website for any reason. Additionally, SCHOOLPLUS has sole discretion to edit Class descriptions as needed to conform them to our standards. We have sole discretion as to which Teachers can work with Us and we reserve the right to reject any potential Teacher and remove or suspend any Teacher from the website for any reason.
