By accessing or using Darspath (the "Platform”), you agree to these Terms and condition.
Darspath is an online platform that enables students and teachers ("Tutors”) to connect for online tutoring and learning sessions, including one-to-one and group sessions.
Unless Darspath explicitly states otherwise in writing, Darspath is not a school or tutoring provider and is not a party to the agreement between a Student and a Tutor. Tutors are independent providers.
You must be at least 18 years old to create an account and use the Platform, or the age of majority where you live.
If a Student is under 18, a parent or legal guardian must create/authorize the account and is responsible for the Student’s activity, payments, and compliance with these Terms.
You agree to:
You are responsible for all activity on your account.
Students may book sessions with Tutors through the Platform. Tutors control their availability and (unless the Platform specifies otherwise) their pricing and session policies, subject to these Terms.
You agree to:
Payments for sessions are processed through third-party payment processors. Your use of those services is subject to their respective terms, policies, and processing requirements.
For sessions booked and paid through the Platform, the total session price paid by the Student is allocated as follows:
The Platform service fee covers access to the Platform, technology infrastructure, payment processing coordination, marketing, administrative services, and operational support.
Darspath reserves the right to modify the revenue share structure or service fees at any time by updating the Platform or these Terms. Any changes will apply prospectively.
Tutors are responsible for reporting and paying any income taxes, self-employment taxes, VAT, GST, or other applicable taxes related to amounts they receive through the Platform.
Students are responsible for any taxes applicable to their purchases unless applicable law requires Darspath to collect or remit such taxes.
Refund eligibility is based on the scheduled session start time and the percentage of the session completed at the time the cancellation is requested:
If a Student cancels at any time before the session start time (including immediately before the start), the Student is eligible for a 100% refund or 100% account credit (as determined by the Platform’s refund method in effect at the time).
If a Student cancels after the session has started and before 50% of the scheduled session duration has elapsed, the Student is eligible for a partial refund/credit equal to the remaining percentage of the session that was not delivered. The portion of the session already completed is not refundable.
Example: 60-minute session, student cancels at 20 minutes (33.33% completed) → refundable portion is 40 minutes (66.67%).
If a Student cancels at or after 50% of the scheduled session duration has elapsed, the session is not refundable.
"Completion” is measured by elapsed time from the scheduled start time to the cancellation request time, compared to the scheduled duration of the session, unless Darspath determines (in its reasonable discretion) that a different measurement is needed due to technical issues, session interruptions, or documented disputes.
This Section 6 (Cancellations, Rescheduling, Refunds, No-Shows) states the Platform-wide policy and controls over any Tutor-specific cancellation or refund policy. Tutors may not impose stricter terms through the Platform.
Rescheduling requests are treated as cancellations for refund purposes unless the Tutor accepts the reschedule within the Platform. If rescheduled, no refund is issued because the session is moved rather than cancelled.
If a Tutor cancels a session before it ends, the Student will be eligible for a refund or credit for the portion not delivered (and may be eligible for a full refund/credit if the session did not occur). Repeated Tutor cancellations may result in account review, reduced visibility, suspension, or removal.
If technical issues materially prevent a session from being delivered, Darspath may issue a refund or credit (full or partial) based on the portion not delivered, after reviewing the circumstances. Users are responsible for maintaining compatible devices, stable internet, and required software.
Refunds may be issued to the original payment method or as Platform credit, depending on the payment processor, timing, fraud/chargeback risk, and Platform policies in effect at the time. Third-party processor fees may be non-refundable where permitted by the processor and applicable law.
Sessions may be recorded only if the Student and Tutor agree in advance.
Users are responsible for:
Darspath may provide recording features or integrations, but Darspath is not responsible for whether a recording is lawful in a given jurisdiction.
You agree not to:
Darspath may investigate and take action (including suspension/termination) if we believe you violated these Terms or created risk to others.
You retain ownership of content you submit (messages, files, profile information). You grant Darspath a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, and process your content to operate, improve, and secure the Platform.
The Platform (software, design, branding, and materials) is owned by Darspath or its licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, or create derivative works from the Platform except as permitted by law or by written permission from Darspath.
The Platform may use or integrate third-party services (including video, payments, analytics, or communication tools). Darspath is not responsible for third-party services, including outages, data handling, or terms imposed by those providers.
The Platform is provided "as is” and "as available.” Darspath does not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free operation, or that Tutors will meet any particular outcome.
Tutoring is educational and does not replace professional advice (medical, legal, financial, or other regulated services).
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases, the limitation applies to the fullest extent permitted by law.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Darspath and its operators from claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Platform, your content, your conduct, or your violation of these Terms.
Darspath may suspend or terminate accounts and access to the Platform at any time if we believe:
You may stop using the Platform at any time.
We may update these Terms by posting the updated version on the Platform and updating the effective date. Your continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
To the extent permitted by law, any dispute or claim will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Washington State, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
