Read the terms and conditions for using the iPractis platform.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and iPractis LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company ("iPractis," "we," "us," or "our"), with its registered address at 30 N Gould St Ste R, Sheridan, WY 82801. By creating an account, accessing, or using the iPractis platform located at https://www.ipractis.com/ (the "Platform"), including all associated websites, applications, tools, and services (collectively, the "Services"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, and any additional policies referenced herein (collectively, the "Agreement"). We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated to you via email or through a prominent notice on the Platform at least thirty (30) days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of any modifications constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
"Content" means any text, images, video, audio, data, or other materials uploaded, posted, or transmitted through the Platform.
"Learner" or "Student" means a User who uses the Platform to receive tutoring services. All registered Users have access to Student features by default.
"Tutor" or "Teacher" means a User whose Tutor Application has been approved by iPractis, granting them access to provide tutoring services to Students through the Platform.
"Tutor Application" means the formal application process through which a registered User requests approval to provide tutoring services on the Platform, subject to iPractis's review and approval at its sole discretion.
"Lesson" or "Session" means a live video tutoring session conducted between a Tutor and a Student through the Platform.
"Platform" means the iPractis website at https://www.ipractis.com/, including all subdomains, mobile applications, and associated technologies.
"Service Fee" means the commission or fee charged by iPractis for facilitating transactions between Students and Tutors on the Platform.
"User Account" means the single unified account created by a User to access and use the Services. A User Account provides access to Student features by default and may additionally include Tutor features upon approval of a Tutor Application.
You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to create an account and use the Services independently. Users between the ages of thirteen (13) and seventeen (17) may use the Platform only with the verifiable consent and ongoing supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms on behalf of the minor. The parent or legal guardian is fully responsible for the minor's use of the Platform and compliance with these Terms. In compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of thirteen (13) without verifiable parental consent.
To access the Services, you must register for a User Account. iPractis uses a unified account system: each User maintains a single account that provides access to Student features by default. There is no separate Student account or Tutor account; rather, Tutor features are enabled within an existing User Account upon successful completion of the Tutor Application process. During registration, you agree to: (a) provide accurate, current, and complete information; (b) maintain and promptly update your account information; (c) maintain the security and confidentiality of your login credentials; (d) accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account; and (e) immediately notify iPractis of any unauthorized use of your account. You may not create more than one account per person, create an account using false or misleading information, transfer or assign your account to any third party, or use another User's account without permission.
Any registered User who is at least eighteen (18) years of age may apply to become a Tutor by submitting a Tutor Application through the Platform. Minors (Users under 18) are not eligible to apply as Tutors. The Tutor Application process may require submission of educational qualifications, teaching certifications, professional experience, language proficiency, or other credentials as determined by iPractis. iPractis reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to approve, reject, or revoke any Tutor Application. Approval of a Tutor Application enables Tutor features within the User's existing account. A User whose Tutor Application is rejected may reapply after addressing the reasons for rejection, if communicated by iPractis. Users with approved Tutor status are bound by both the general User obligations and the additional Tutor-specific obligations set forth in Section 5 of these Terms.
iPractis reserves the right to verify the qualifications of Users at any time. iPractis does not currently perform identity verification or criminal background checks on Users or Tutor applicants. iPractis makes no representations regarding the identity, background, or character of any User. Users interact with other Users at their own risk. iPractis may suspend or revoke Tutor status if a User's submitted credentials or qualifications are found to be inaccurate, fraudulent, or no longer valid, without affecting the User's ability to use Student features on the Platform.
iPractis operates an online marketplace that connects Students seeking tutoring services with independent Tutors who offer such services. The Platform facilitates the discovery, scheduling, payment, and delivery of live video tutoring sessions between Students and Tutors.
iPractis acts solely as an intermediary and marketplace facilitator. iPractis does not itself provide tutoring, teaching, or educational services. Tutors are independent service providers and are not employees, agents, or representatives of iPractis. iPractis does not guarantee the quality, accuracy, completeness, or suitability of any tutoring services provided by Tutors. The relationship between a Student and a Tutor is a direct contractual relationship. iPractis is not a party to any agreement between Students and Tutors regarding the provision of tutoring services, except to the extent these Terms apply to all Users.
Tutoring sessions on the Platform are conducted via live video using Google Meet, a third-party video conferencing service provided by Google LLC. By using the Platform to conduct or attend Sessions, you acknowledge and agree that your use of Google Meet is subject to Google's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy in addition to these Terms. Sessions are not recorded by iPractis. iPractis does not store, retain, or have access to any audio or video content from Sessions. Users are responsible for ensuring they have adequate internet connectivity, hardware, and software to participate in video Sessions.
Users who have been approved as Tutors through the Tutor Application process act as independent contractors and not employees of iPractis. Approval of a Tutor Application does not create an employer-employee relationship, partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship between iPractis and the Tutor. Tutors are solely responsible for: (a) determining the content, method, and manner of their tutoring services; (b) setting their own rates, subject to Platform guidelines; (c) defining and maintaining their own availability and working hours through the Platform's scheduling system; (d) their own tax obligations, including income tax reporting and payment; and (e) compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in their jurisdiction.
As a Tutor on the Platform, you agree to: (a) provide accurate information about your qualifications, experience, and teaching capabilities; (b) conduct Sessions professionally and in accordance with the Acceptable Use Policy; (c) define, maintain, and keep up to date your availability schedule through the Platform's scheduling tools, ensuring that the availability you publish accurately reflects the times you are genuinely able to conduct Sessions; (d) honor all Sessions booked by Students within your published availability windows and provide timely notice of any cancellations; (e) not solicit Students to transact outside the Platform; (f) maintain any licenses or certifications required by applicable law; and (g) comply with all applicable tax reporting and payment obligations.
Tutors acknowledge that setting and maintaining accurate availability is essential to the marketplace experience. iPractis reserves the right to take corrective action, including suspension of Tutor status, against Tutors who repeatedly fail to honor bookings made within their published availability, or who maintain availability schedules that are materially inaccurate or misleading.
Tutors may create and upload educational content, including but not limited to lesson plans, teaching materials, profile descriptions, and promotional content ("Tutor Content"). Tutors retain ownership of their Tutor Content but grant iPractis a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, display, and distribute such Tutor Content solely for the purpose of operating and promoting the Platform.
As a Student on the Platform, you agree to: (a) provide accurate information during registration; (b) attend scheduled Sessions on time or provide reasonable notice of cancellation in accordance with the cancellation policy; (c) treat Tutors with respect and professionalism; (d) not solicit Tutors to transact outside the Platform; and (e) use the Platform and Services only for lawful purposes.
Students are solely responsible for selecting Tutors. While iPractis may display information about Tutors, including ratings, reviews, qualifications, and experience, iPractis does not endorse any particular Tutor and makes no warranties regarding any Tutor's qualifications, expertise, or suitability for a Student's needs.
iPractis facilitates payments between Students and Tutors through its integrated payment system powered by Stripe. By using the Platform, you agree to the applicable payment terms and authorize iPractis to process payments on your behalf. All payments are processed in United States Dollars (USD) unless otherwise specified.
iPractis charges a Service Fee (commission) on each completed Session, deducted from the amount paid by the Student before remittance to the Tutor. The commission structure is as follows:
The applicable commission will be clearly disclosed to Tutors in their account dashboard before any Session is confirmed. iPractis reserves the right to modify its commission structure with at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to affected Tutors.
Earnings from completed Sessions, less the applicable iPractis commission, are credited to the Tutor's in-platform wallet ("Tutor Wallet"). Tutors may request a withdrawal of their Tutor Wallet balance at any time, subject to a minimum withdrawal threshold of ten United States Dollars ($10.00). Withdrawal requests are processed through Stripe and transferred to the Tutor's designated bank account or payment method. iPractis is not responsible for any taxes owed by Tutors on their earnings. Tutors are solely responsible for providing accurate payment information and complying with all applicable tax reporting and payment laws in their jurisdiction.
Students pay for Sessions through the Platform. When a refund is issued, the refunded amount is credited to the Student's in-platform wallet ("Student Wallet") and may be used to book future Sessions. The refund and cancellation rules are as follows:
Refund requests must be submitted within seventy-two (72) hours of the scheduled Session. iPractis reserves the right to make the final determination regarding any refund request.
If a Student initiates a chargeback or payment dispute with their payment provider, iPractis reserves the right to suspend or terminate the Student's account pending resolution. Users agree to cooperate with iPractis in resolving any payment disputes.
Tutors are responsible for setting and maintaining their own availability schedule directly on the Platform. Availability must reflect the actual times the Tutor is able to conduct live video Sessions. Students may only book Sessions during time slots that the Tutor has marked as available. iPractis does not dictate or impose working hours on Tutors.
Students may book Sessions with a Tutor only within the Tutor's published availability windows. A booking is confirmed once the Student completes payment through the Platform. Upon confirmation, both the Tutor and the Student will receive a notification. Tutors are contractually obligated to honor all confirmed bookings.
Students may request to reschedule a confirmed Session up to ten (10) hours before the scheduled start time, subject to the Tutor's availability. Rescheduling requests submitted less than ten (10) hours before the Session start time will not be accepted. In such cases, the Session fee is forfeited by the Student, and the Tutor receives their normal earnings as if the Session had been completed.
Students who wish to cancel a confirmed Session entirely must do so at least ten (10) hours before the scheduled start time to receive a full refund to their Student Wallet. Cancellations made less than ten (10) hours before the Session start time will result in forfeiture of the Session fee.
Tutors who need to cancel a confirmed Session must do so at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance through the Platform. The affected Student will receive a full refund to their Student Wallet for any Tutor-initiated cancellation, regardless of when the cancellation is made. Tutors who repeatedly cancel confirmed Sessions, fail to appear for scheduled Sessions, or maintain inaccurate availability schedules may be subject to penalties including warnings, temporary suspension of booking privileges, or permanent revocation of Tutor status.
A grace period of twenty (20) minutes applies from the scheduled Session start time. If a participant does not join the Session within the twenty (20) minute grace period, the Session is treated as a no-show by that participant. Student No-Show: The Session is treated as completed; the Tutor receives their normal earnings and the Student forfeits the Session fee. Tutor No-Show: The Student receives a full refund to their Student Wallet. Repeated Tutor no-shows may result in warnings, suspension, or permanent revocation of Tutor status.
