2. ROLE AND RELATIONSHIP

2.1 Independent Contractor Status . You acknowledge and agree that educators, tutors, and learning centers are all independent contractors and not employees, agents, partners, joint venturers, or representatives of Unite-ED. This independent contractor relationship means that Educators, Tutors, and Learning Centers maintain complete autonomy over their educational services, including but not limited to their teaching methods, pedagogical approaches, curriculum choices, scheduling practices, pricing structures, and all interactions and communications with homeschooling families who may engage in their services through the Platform. Educators, tutors, and learning centers are solely responsible for determining how, when, and where they provide their educational services, and Unite-ED exercises no control over the manner or means by which they accomplish their educational objectives. They may set eligibility requirements for students and the eligibility requirements set forth by educators, tutors, microschools, co-ops and other learning centers should not be accepted as any form of discrimination. You further acknowledge that educators, tutors, and learning centers are solely responsible for obtaining any business licenses, professional licenses, insurance coverage, or other authorizations required to legally provide educational services in your jurisdiction. 2.2 Platform as Connection Service Only. Unite-ED operates solely as a connection platform to facilitate introductions between homeschooling families seeking educational services and educators or learning centers offering them, and homeschooling families seeking connectings with other families. Unite-ED does not provide educational services, does not employ or supervise educators, does not guarantee the quality or suitability of any educator's services, and does not endorse, recommend, or vouch for any specific educator or educational approach. The Platform is a marketplace that enables connections between independent parties, and all arrangements, agreements, and transactions between educators and families are solely between those parties. Unite-ED is not a party to any agreement between educators and families and has no control over the conduct of educators or families, the quality of educational services provided, or the completion of any transaction or engagement. 2.3 Platform Liability Limitation .

You acknowledge that any agreements, arrangements, or understandings you reach with families, educators, tutors, and learning centers are solely between you and those individuals, and Unite-ED is not a party to such arrangements and bears no responsibility for their enforcement, interpretation, or outcomes. You further acknowledge that Unite-ED makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any information provided by families, educators, tutors, and learning centers through the Platform, and you are solely responsible for independently verifying any information and conducting your own due diligence before entering into any arrangement with an educator.

2.4 Parent/Guardian Authority and Legal Responsibility

You acknowledge and affirm that in a homeschooling environment, parents or legal guardians remain fully accountable, responsible, and legally liable for their child's education under applicable state homeschooling laws and regulations. The role of an educator, tutor, or educational provider is to assist, support, supplement, and enhance families in their homeschooling journey, not to replace, supersede, or diminish parental oversight, authority, or responsibility. You understand that parents and guardians maintain ultimate decision-making authority regarding their children's educational content, methods, pace, and outcomes, and that the educator’s, tutor’s, and learning center’s services are provided in support of and subordinate to parental educational choices and philosophies. You agree to respect and honor the secondary role of educators, tutors, and learning centers as the support group for your children's education and to work cooperatively within the framework and parameters established by each educator, tutor, and learning center. You further acknowledge that educators, tutors, and learning centers may have eligibility requirements or curriculum requirements that don’t align with your values, in which case you may choose another educator without legal implications against the educator, tutor, and microschool. It is your responsibility as a homeschooling family to complete your research before hiring an educator, tutor, and learning center to make sure they align with your values and learning expectations. 2.5 Collaboration and Communication Requirements. You expressly agree to collaborate meaningfully with educators, tutors, and learning centers to actively engage them in your children's learning journey, respect their role as the secondary educational decision-makers, and maintain open, transparent, and regular communication about your children's progress, challenges, and achievements. You agree to welcome educator, tutor, and learning center input, to consider educational concerns and preferences in their educational approach, to be open to regular updates and feedback through mutually agreed-upon communication channels and at mutually agreed-upon intervals, to respond promptly to educational inquiries and concerns, and to work as a partner with educators, tutors, and learning centers. You understand that successful homeschool education depends on strong partnerships between educators and families, and you commit to fostering such partnerships through respectful, responsive, and collaborative practices. You’re accountable for communicating respectfully with educators, tutors, and microschools to determine if they align with your educational philosophy, religious beliefs, cultural values, and parenting choices BEFORE hiring them.

3. BACKGROUND CHECKS AND VERIFICATION

3.1 Requirements for Individual Educators and Tutors. All individual educators and tutors who apply to provide services through the Platform must undergo and successfully pass a comprehensive background check prior to being approved, activated, or granted access to the Platform and before being made visible to homeschooling families. This background screening is mandatory and non-negotiable, without exception, for all individual service providers, excluding learning centers.

3.2 Background Check Standards and Disqualifying Factors

The educators and tutors background check must reveal no disqualifying factors in order for an educator’s and tutor’s application to be approved. Disqualifying factors include but are not limited to: any felony conviction at any time; any misdemeanor conviction within the past seven years involving crimes of violence, theft, fraud, dishonesty, child abuse or neglect, domestic violence, sexual offenses, drug offenses, or any crime involving moral turpitude; any registration as a sex offender in any jurisdiction; any outstanding warrants for arrest; any pending criminal charges for offenses that would be disqualifying if convicted; providing false or misleading information on your application or background check authorization; refusal to authorize the background check or failure to provide required information; and any other factor that, in Unite-ED's sole discretion, raises concerns about the safety or well-being of children or families. Unite-ED reserves the right to deny or revoke approval based on any information revealed in the background check or based on any other information that comes to Unite-ED's attention, even if such information does not constitute a criminal conviction. Background check determinations are made at Unite-ED's sole discretion and are final. 3.3 Ongoing Disclosure Obligations. Educators and tutors must agree to immediately notify Unite-ED in writing within seventy-two hours if, at any time after their initial background check approval, they are arrested for, charged with, investigated for, or convicted of any crime or offense, whether felony or misdemeanor, including but not limited to traffic offenses involving drugs or alcohol. They must also immediately notify Unite-ED if they become subject to any restraining order, protective order, or no-contact order, or if they become aware of any other information that would have been disqualifying had it been known at the time of your initial background check. Failure to provide timely notification may result in immediate termination of their account without refund and may constitute a material breach of this Agreement. Upon receiving such notification or upon otherwise becoming aware of potentially disqualifying information, Unite-ED reserves the right to immediately suspend their account pending investigation and to terminate their account and access to the Platform if warranted in their Unite-ED's sole discretion. You acknowledge that Unite-ED does not perform background checks for Learning Centers, and you may inquire or request background checks as you deem necessary. 3.4 Requirements for Educational Entities. Institutional providers, including but not limited to co-ops, microschools, hybrid schools, learning pods, learning centers, and other organizational educational entities, are not required to undergo a background check through Unite-ED as a condition of Platform access. However, you acknowledge and agree that families have the right to request detailed information about their internal background check policies, procedures, and practices for all staff members, volunteers, teachers, administrators, assistant teachers, substitute teachers, board members, and any other individuals who have contact with children through your organization, and they should agree to respond to such inquiries directly, promptly, completely, and transparently. You may choose not to engage in services if an internal background check policies does not meet your standards or expectations. 3.5 Verification of Credentials and Experience. In addition to background checks, Unite-ED reserves the right to verify any educational credentials, teaching certifications, licenses, degrees, training, experience, or other qualifications that educators and tutors claim to possess in their educator profile or in their communications with Unite-ED or families.

4. TEACHING PREFERENCES AND AUTONOMY

As an independent contractor providing educational services through the Platform, educators, tutors, and learning centers retain full discretion, authority, and autonomy to make all decisions regarding their educational offerings and business practices without direction, control, or interference from Unite-ED. Educators, tutors, and learning centers have the complete and unrestricted right to select the subjects, topics, and content areas they teach and to determine the scope and focus of their educational services. They have the right to choose their preferred curriculum, educational materials, textbooks, supplementary resources, and teaching methods without interference or direction from Unite-ED, and they bear sole responsibility for ensuring that their chosen materials and methods are appropriate, effective, legal, and consistent with any representations they make to families. They have the right to determine whether they offer online instruction via video conferencing or other remote delivery methods, in-person instruction at a specific location or the family's location or a neutral third-party location, hybrid instruction combining online and in-person elements, or any combination thereof, and they may change their delivery methods at any time based on their business judgment and student needs. They have the right to set their own rates, fees, pricing structures, and payment terms according to their judgment of market conditions, their qualifications and experience, the value of their services, and any other factors they deem relevant, and they may offer different pricing for different services, different age groups, different subjects, group versus individual instruction, or any other pricing distinctions they choose to implement. They have the right to establish their own policies regarding cancellations, rescheduling, makeup sessions, advance notice requirements, materials fees, late payment fees, returned check fees, family deposits or registration fees, sibling discounts, multi-session packages, refund policies, and any other aspect of their business relationship with families. They have the right to determine their own schedule, availability, and working hours, to accept or decline engagement with any family for any reason or no reason, to limit the number of students they serve, and to discontinue services to any family at any time in accordance with whatever notice provisions they have established in their agreement with that family. Unite-ED does not dictate, control, influence, recommend, or express any opinion regarding these decisions and expressly recognizes your right to operate their educational services according to their professional judgment, experience, pedagogical philosophy, and business objectives. This autonomy also means that educators, tutors, and learning centers bear full responsibility for the consequences of their business decisions, including pricing decisions that may affect their competitiveness in the marketplace, policy decisions that may affect their relationships with families, scheduling decisions that may affect their work-life balance, and pedagogical decisions that may affect educational outcomes.

Your indemnification obligations continue with respect to any claims arising from events that occurred during the time you were a Platform user, regardless of when the claim is actually asserted.

10. MODIFICATIONS TO AGREEMENT

10.1 Right to Modify. Unite-ED reserves the right to modify, amend, update, revise, supplement, or change this Agreement, including any incorporated policies such as the Privacy Policy, at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion for any reason, including but not limited to changes in law or regulation, changes in business practices, changes in Platform features or functionality, addition of new terms to address new issues or technologies, clarification of existing terms, correction of errors or ambiguities, or for any other reason or for no reason. 10.2 Notice of Material Changes. We will provide notice of material changes to this Agreement, via conspicuous notification within the Platform that is displayed when you log in, or by posting the updated Agreement on our website at www.myunite-ed.com with a new "Last Updated" date on the Agreement. Material changes are those that substantially affect your rights or obligations, such as changes to payment terms, refund policies (if applicale), liability limitations, or dispute resolution provisions. Non-material changes, such as clarifications, corrections of typographical errors, or changes that do not affect your rights, may be made without notice. It is your responsibility to review the Agreement periodically and to check for updates. 10.3 Effective Date of Changes. Changes to this Agreement will become effective thirty days after notice of material changes is provided, or immediately upon posting for non-material changes. Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the modified terms and your agreement to be bound by the updated Agreement. If you do not agree to the modified terms, your sole remedy is to cancel your account. Cancellation is the exclusive remedy for disagreement with changes to this Agreement. 10.4 Requirement to Review Changes. By continuing to use the Platform after notice of changes has been provided, you acknowledge that you have reviewed and understand the changes and agree to be bound by the modified terms. You may not claim that you did not receive notice of changes or did not read the changes if you continue using the Platform after notice was provided to your email address on file or posted conspicuously on the Platform.

11. TERMINATION

11.1 Termination by You. You may terminate this Agreement and your relationship with Unite-ED at any time by canceling your subscription as described in Section 7 of this Agreement. However, termination by you does not relieve you of your obligation to pay all amounts owed to educators, tutors, and learning centers, including all remaining Monthly Installments if you are on a monthly payment plan as set forth by the educator, tutor and learning center, and does not entitle you to any refund. Termination by you takes effect within thirty days. Upon your effective termination, your license to use the Platform will immediately terminate, you must immediately cease all use of the Platform, and you will no longer have access to any Platform features, data, or content. 11.2 Termination by Unite-ED. We reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion and without prior notice, to immediately delete your profile, your access to the Platform, your educator profile, and this Agreement, effective immediately, for any reason or for no reason, including but not limited to:

  • a) Violation of this Agreement or any of its terms, conditions, or provisions;
  • b) Violation of any incorporated policy, including the Privacy Policy or any other policy referenced in this Agreement;
  • c) False or misleading information provided on your application, in your profile, or in any communication with Unite-ED or with families;
  • d) Complaints of misconduct, unprofessional behavior, inappropriate conduct, harassment, discrimination, or safety concerns from families, students, other users, or any other source;
  • e) Allegations or evidence of abuse, neglect, or harm to children;
  • f) Fraudulent or abusive use of the Platform or of your account;
  • g) Providing false or misleading information about your qualifications, credentials, experience, or services;
  • h) Engaging in illegal activities or activities that violate the rights of others;
  • i) Attempting to circumvent Platform fees or policies;
  • j) Violation of any applicable law, regulation, or legal requirement;
  • k) Receipt of multiple negative complaints about how you use the Unite-Ed app;
  • l) Any other reason that, in our judgment, threatens the safety, integrity, reputation, or proper functioning of the Platform or the well-being, safety, or interests of families, children, other users, or Unite-ED; or
  • m) For any reason or for no reason in our sole discretion.

Termination by Unite-ED may be immediate and without any prior notice or opportunity to cure. Termination by Unite-ED is without refund of any fees paid, and you will remain liable for all amounts owed through the end of your current Subscription Period, including all remaining Monthly Installments if you are on a monthly payment plan. Unite-ED is not required to provide you with a reason for termination, although we may choose to do so. Termination decisions are final and not subject to appeal. 11. 3 Effect of Termination. Upon termination by either party for any reason, your ability to access and use the Platform immediately terminates, you must immediately cease all use of the Platform, you will no longer be able to log in to your account, your profile will be immediately deactivated and removed from family searches, families will no longer be able to view your profile or contact you through the Platform, you will lose access to all messages and communications in your account, and you will lose access to all data in your account. Unite-ED has no obligation to provide you with any data from your account after termination. Termination does not relieve you of any payment obligations, and all amounts owed remain due and payable after termination. The provisions of this Agreement that by their nature should survive termination will survive termination. 11.4 No Liability for Termination. Unite-ED shall have no liability to you or to any third party for termination of your account or your access to the Platform, regardless of the reason for termination. You acknowledge that termination may result in lack of networking or connections, inability to access messages or data, damage to your reputation, or other harm, and you agree that Unite-ED is not liable for any such harm or consequences resulting from termination.

12. GENERAL PROVISIONS

12.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Privacy Policy available on the app and the price plans available on the app at the time of subscription, and any other policies, guidelines, or documents specifically incorporated by reference herein, constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between you and Unite-ED regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, proposals, representations, understandings, negotiations, term sheets, or warranties, whether oral or written, regarding such subject matter. No modification, amendment, supplement, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective or binding unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Unite-ED. No course of dealing, course of performance, or trade practice shall modify or amend this Agreement. 12.2 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be invalid, illegal, void, or unenforceable for any reason, that provision shall be deemed severed from this Agreement and shall not affect the validity, legality, or enforceability of the remaining provisions, which shall remain in full force and effect to the maximum extent permitted by law. In such event, the invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced with a valid and enforceable provision that most closely achieves the original intent and economic effect of the invalid or unenforceable provision in a manner consistent with applicable law. 12.3 Waiver. Our failure or delay in exercising or enforcing any right, power, remedy, or provision of this Agreement, or our course of dealing or course of performance, shall not constitute a waiver of that right, power, remedy, or provision or of our right to exercise or enforce that right, power, remedy, or provision in the future or to exercise or enforce any other right, power, remedy, or provision. No waiver of any breach or default of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Unite-ED to be effective. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise of any right or remedy. 12.4 Governing Law and Dispute Resolution. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of laws principles or rules. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, validity, or performance thereof, or relating to your use of the Platform, your relationship with Unite-ED, your provision of educational services, or any other matter relating to your subscription or use of the Platform, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, the "AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by this Section 12.4. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator selected in accordance with the AAA Rules. The arbitration shall take place in Orlando, Florida, or at such other location as may be mutually agreed by the parties, or may be conducted by telephone or video conference if both parties agree. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Agreement, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity, including but not limited to injunctive relief, but shall not have the power to award punitive or exemplary damages (which you hereby waive to the fullest extent permitted by law). The arbitrator's award shall be in writing and shall include a statement of the essential findings and conclusions upon which the award is based. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party shall bear its own costs and attorneys' fees in the arbitration unless the arbitrator determines otherwise in accordance with applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing agreement to arbitrate, Unite-ED may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of its intellectual property rights, confidential information, trade secrets, or proprietary rights, or to enforce the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement. 12.5 Class Action Waiver. YOU AND UNITE-ED AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND UNITE-ED AGREE OTHERWISE IN WRITING, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT INDIVIDUAL PARTY'S CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER PLATFORM USERS. IF A COURT DETERMINES THAT THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IN SECTION 12.4 SHALL BE NULL AND VOID, AND ANY PROCEEDING MUST BE BROUGHT IN COURT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 12.6. 12.6 Forum Selection and Jurisdiction. If for any reason the arbitration provision in Section 12.4 is found to be unenforceable, or if arbitration is not required for a particular claim or dispute, or if you opt out of arbitration as permitted below in Section 12.7, then you agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) shall be brought solely in the state or federal courts located in Orange County, Florida, and you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts. You hereby irrevocably waive any objection to jurisdiction or venue in such courts and any claim that such courts are an inconvenient forum. 12.7 Opt-Out of Arbitration. You have the right to opt out of the arbitration agreement set forth in Section 12.4 by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to Unite-ED at the following address: Unite-ED, Attn: Legal Department, Arbitration Opt-Out, 6043 US HWY 17-92 North #203, Davenport, FL 33896, within thirty (30) days of first accepting this Agreement. Your opt-out notice must include your name, address, email address associated with your account, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of the arbitration agreement. If you opt out of the arbitration agreement, all other terms of this Agreement will continue to apply, and any disputes will be resolved in court as set forth in Section 12.6. Opting out of the arbitration agreement has no effect on any other agreements you may have with Unite-ED. 12.8 Assignment. Your rights and obligations under this Agreement are personal to you and may not be assigned, transferred, delegated, or sublicensed by you to any other person or entity without Unite-ED's prior written consent. Any attempted assignment in violation of this provision is void and of no effect. Unite-ED may freely assign, transfer, or delegate this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder to any person or entity, including but not limited to in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, sale of the business, reorganization, or change of control. This Agreement binds and inures to the benefit of each party's permitted successors and assigns. 12.9 Notice Provisions .

We recommend adding our email domains to your safe sender list to ensure receipt of important notices. 12.10 Force Majeure. Unite-ED shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent such failure or delay is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, earthquakes, fires, floods, pandemics, epidemics, acts of war or terrorism, civil unrest, riots, government orders or restrictions, utility failures, internet service provider failures, telecommunications failures, strikes, labor disputes, shortages of materials or supplies, cyberattacks, denial of service attacks, or any other cause beyond Unite-ED's reasonable control (each, a "Force Majeure Event"). In the event of a Force Majeure Event, Unite-ED's performance shall be excused for the duration of the Force Majeure Event, and Unite-ED shall be entitled to a reasonable extension of time to perform. If a Force Majeure Event prevents performance for more than thirty (30) consecutive days, either party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other party, subject to the payment and refund provisions of this Agreement. No Force Majeure Event shall excuse your payment obligations under this Agreement. 12.11 Independent Contractors. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to create a partnership, joint venture, agency relationship, or employer-employee relationship between educators, tutors, learning centers, homeschooling families and Unite-ED. Each party is an independent contractor and has no authority to bind the other party or to incur any obligation on behalf of the other party. 12.12 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. Families and other Platform users are not third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement. 12.13 Headings and Interpretation. The section headings and subsection headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to affect the interpretation or meaning of the provisions of this Agreement. The words "including," "includes," and "include" shall be deemed to be followed by "without limitation" whether or not they are in fact followed by such words or words of similar import. The words "hereof," "herein," "hereunder," and similar words refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision. The singular includes the plural and vice versa. "Or" is not exclusive. References to dollars or "$" mean United States dollars. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 12.14 Counterparts and Electronic Signatures.

You agree that electronically stored copies of this Agreement shall be admissible in evidence to the same extent as original written documents. 12.15 Survival .

Survival of any provision does not affect the termination of other provisions or of the Agreement as a whole. 12.16 Relationship to Other Agreements. This Agreement governs only your relationship with Unite-ED regarding your use of the Platform. This Agreement does not govern your relationships with Educators, tutors, learning centers, and other homeschooling families or your provision of educational services to families. You are responsible for committing to your own agreements with educators, tutors, and learning centers regarding the terms of your services, payment, policies, and all other matters. Unite-ED is not a party to such agreements and has no responsibility or liability with respect to such agreements. 12.17 Language. This Agreement is written in English. Any translation provided for convenience is not binding. In the event of any conflict between the English version and any translation, the English version shall control.
