Tutors acknowledge and agree that they act solely in their personal and independent capacity while using the Platform and are not employees, representatives, agents, contractors, consultants, partners, franchisees, joint venturers, or authorized representatives of Tuitionites.

Nothing contained on the Platform or in these Terms shall be construed as creating any employment relationship, agency, partnership, joint venture, fiduciary relationship, or other legal association between Tuitionites and any tutor.

Tuitionites does not supervise, direct, control, evaluate, monitor, or manage the professional activities, teaching methods, conduct, communications, or services provided by tutors.

Tutors shall be solely responsible for all taxes, statutory dues, professional liabilities, licenses, permits, registrations, regulatory compliances, contractual obligations, civil liabilities, criminal liabilities, and any other legal responsibilities arising out of or relating to their use of the Platform or the tuition services provided by them.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each tutor agrees to indemnify and defend Tuitionites, its parent company, affiliates, owners, directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, licensors, successors, assigns, and service providers against any and all claims, demands, actions, proceedings, liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, fines, costs, expenses, and reasonable legal fees arising out of or relating to the tutor's use of the Platform, acts, omissions, services, conduct, negligence, misconduct, representations, profile information, qualifications, communications, breach of these Terms, breach of any agreement with a student or parent, violation of applicable law, infringement of any third-party rights, or any dispute involving the tutor. This indemnification obligation shall survive the suspension, restriction, deactivation, termination, or closure of the tutor's account and shall continue to apply notwithstanding the tutor's cessation of use of the Platform. It shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, regardless of whether any claim, demand, action, or proceeding is brought by a student, parent, guardian, governmental authority, regulatory body, or any other third party.
