New To Education Comprehensive Tutor Agreement and Statements of Understanding

Effective Date: September 12, 2026
Last Updated: September 12, 2026

1. Parties and Acceptance

This Comprehensive Tutor Agreement and Statements of Understanding ("Agreement") is between New To Education, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company registered in Lawrenceville, Georgia ("New To Education," "NTE," "Company," "we," "our," or "us"), and the individual accepting it ("Tutor," "Contractor," "Provider," or "you").

This Agreement governs your participation through NewToEducation.com, Newtoed.com, future NTE websites, the NTE mobile application, Community Social Page, community service pages, directories, booking and messaging systems, webinars, live and recorded courses, ebooks, blogs, educational content, digital products, AI-powered features, face-to-face services, marketplaces, and related offerings (collectively, the "Platform").

By accepting this Agreement, submitting an application, completing onboarding, creating a tutor profile, accepting a booking, providing a service, communicating with a User, publishing or selling content, or otherwise participating as a Tutor, you agree to this Agreement, the Privacy Policy, Community Guidelines, and applicable service or seller policies. If you do not agree, do not participate as a Tutor.

2. Independent-Contractor Relationship

You provide approved services as an independent contractor and not as an NTE employee, agent, partner, joint venturer, franchisee, or legal representative. Nothing guarantees continued engagement or creates an employment relationship.

Subject to accepted bookings, student-safety rules, quality standards, and law, you control your availability, whether to accept offered work, preparation, instructional approach, and manner and means of performing services. You may provide services elsewhere and are not required to work exclusively for NTE. You generally supply your own equipment, internet, workspace, materials, licenses, insurance, and expenses unless a written service term states otherwise.

You are not eligible for employee wages, overtime, paid leave, benefits, workers' compensation, unemployment benefits, retirement, healthcare, or guaranteed hours through NTE. You are responsible for taxes, filings, permits, licenses, insurance, business expenses, and obligations arising from independent activity. Nothing in this Agreement waives rights that cannot legally be waived or overrides a classification required by law.

3. Voluntary Participation and No Fixed-Term Commitment

Participation is voluntary and has no guaranteed fixed term. You may stop offering services and request account closure at any time, subject to completing or properly canceling accepted obligations, protecting student information, and resolving balances or disputes.

NTE does not guarantee bookings, students, clients, sales, leads, visibility, referrals, webinar attendance, revenue, or minimum compensation. You assume the ordinary business risk of independent participation.

If you leave or your Tutor account is closed, returning is not automatic. You must submit a new application and complete all then-current hiring, screening, verification, onboarding, and approval stages. NTE may approve or decline the new application.

4. Approved Services

Approved offerings may include tutoring, educational consulting, coaching, mentoring, language instruction, homeschool support, exam preparation, webinars, live or recorded courses, curriculum development, ebooks, educational materials, digital products, resume and career services, workshops, group instruction, online services, and authorized face-to-face services.

You may offer only services within your competence and approved profile scope. NTE may prospectively approve, limit, reclassify, pause, or discontinue categories or listings for safety, quality, legal, technical, or business reasons.

5. Tutor Responsibilities

You agree to:

• Provide services professionally, competently, ethically, punctually, and lawfully;

• Prepare appropriately and deliver the service accurately described;

• Maintain truthful credentials, qualifications, rates, availability, and listings;

• Communicate respectfully and through approved channels;

• Keep reasonable records of bookings, attendance, completion, and material incidents;

• Protect student and client privacy and maintain appropriate boundaries;

• Use age-appropriate, accurate, inclusive, and lawful materials;

• Follow accepted booking terms, cancellation rules, safety requirements, and Platform policies;

• Promptly disclose a conflict, inability to perform, material complaint, safety issue, or legal restriction; and

• Cooperate reasonably with support, payment, safety, and complaint investigations.

You remain responsible for instructional choices, preparation, scheduling commitments, content, representations, and service delivery.

6. Qualifications, Licenses, and Representations

All application, identity, education, certification, work-history, reference, language, experience, and professional information must be complete and accurate. You may not claim a degree, license, certification, affiliation, title, or expertise you do not possess.

You are responsible for determining and maintaining any license, registration, permit, insurance, safeguarding training, or professional authorization required where you and the student are located. Platform approval is not a government license or professional certification.

Notify NTE promptly if a credential expires, is suspended or revoked, or if another event materially affects your eligibility, safety, or ability to provide services.

7. Screening and Background Checks

NTE may conduct or request identity verification, credential and education verification, reference checks, sanctions screening, professional-disciplinary checks, lawful public-record review, social-media review, or background checks where permitted. Any consumer report subject to the Fair Credit Reporting Act or similar law will be obtained and used with required disclosures, authorization, and procedures.

Screening does not guarantee future conduct, safety, competence, or suitability. NTE may require renewed screening or documentation. Providing false, altered, incomplete, or misleading information may result in rejection or termination.

8. Duty to Disclose Material Events

To the extent permitted by law, promptly disclose a criminal charge or conviction, protective order, substantiated abuse finding, professional discipline, license restriction, credential revocation, government investigation, sanctions designation, or other event reasonably related to student safety, trust, legality, or your services.

NTE will assess relevant information individually and in accordance with applicable law. An arrest alone will not automatically be treated as proof of misconduct where law requires individualized consideration.

You represent that you are not acting for a sanctioned person or unlawful organization and will not use the Platform for trafficking, exploitation, terrorism, organized crime, money laundering, fraud, or other illegal activity.

9. Compensation: 60% Tutor Share and 40% NTE Share

Unless a separate written agreement or clearly displayed program term states otherwise, you receive 60% of the applicable completed sale amount and NTE retains 40% for tutoring bookings, consultations, live instruction, webinars, courses, ebooks, educational materials, digital products, and other approved offerings sold through the Platform.

The "applicable completed sale amount" is the amount eligible for allocation after a transaction is successfully paid and completed, subject to disclosed adjustments. Refunds, reversals, chargebacks, fraudulent transactions, taxes collected for remittance, payment-processing charges, app-store commissions, currency-conversion costs, legally required withholding, Tutor-funded discounts, and other disclosed transaction costs may be deducted or allocated as stated at listing, checkout, or payout.

NTE's 40% portion compensates NTE for Platform access and operation, hosting, payment and booking administration, customer support, technology, moderation, marketing opportunities, and related services. The split does not create employment, agency, partnership, or joint ownership.

Rates shown to customers must be accurate. You may set rates only within available Platform functionality and applicable rules. NTE may offer promotions; the applicable listing or program terms will state whether NTE or the Tutor funds a discount.

10. Payouts, Verification, and Taxes

Subject to verification and adjustment, NTE generally processes eligible payouts monthly on or around the twenty-seventh (27th) day. This is a processing target, not a guarantee that funds will reach every bank or payment account that day. Weekends, holidays, provider delays, compliance reviews, incomplete information, and events beyond reasonable control may affect timing.

You must provide accurate payment, identity, residency, and tax information, including a Form W-9, Form W-8, or equivalent documentation when requested. You are responsible for reporting income and paying taxes, fees, licenses, insurance, and expenses in your jurisdiction.

NTE may delay, offset, reserve, or withhold amounts reasonably necessary for refunds, chargebacks, disputes, suspected fraud, negative balances, policy violations, legal process, sanctions, tax withholding, incomplete verification, or payment-provider restrictions. NTE will release undisputed eligible amounts when the issue is resolved, subject to law.

11. Refunds, Cancellations, No-Shows, and Chargebacks

You must follow the cancellation and refund policy displayed for each offering. Compensation may be reduced or reversed when a refund, reversal, or chargeback results from failure to perform, material lateness, inaccurate descriptions, misconduct, policy violations, defective content, unauthorized charges, or another substantiated service issue attributable to you.

NTE will evaluate available records, communications, delivery, applicable policies, and law. You may provide relevant information during an investigation. NTE may allocate losses reasonably between the parties based on responsibility and applicable terms.

You may not encourage false disputes or process payments outside approved methods to avoid refunds, records, fees, or safeguards.

12. Platform Non-Circumvention

During participation and for twelve (12) months after the last Platform-facilitated interaction with a student, parent, client, business, or organization introduced to you through NTE, you may not knowingly move that relationship off Platform for the purpose of avoiding disclosed NTE fees, commissions, payment systems, or safeguards.

This provision does not prohibit preexisting relationships you can document, general advertising not directed at NTE Users, lawful professional activity, or contact required by law. It is intended to protect relationships and Platform investment, not to prevent you from working generally in your profession.

NTE may recover demonstrable unpaid fees and pursue lawful remedies for intentional circumvention. Earned compensation unrelated to the violation will not be automatically forfeited.

13. No Improper Recruitment

While actively participating and for six (6) months afterward, you may not knowingly target NTE personnel or active Providers for the primary purpose of inducing them to terminate their NTE relationship and join a competing operation. This does not prohibit general job advertisements, unsolicited applications, preexisting relationships, or conduct protected by law.

14. Student Safety and Professional Boundaries

You must maintain professional boundaries and prioritize student welfare. You may not engage in grooming, sexual or romantic conduct, exploitation, favoritism tied to personal relationships, harassment, threats, corporal punishment, discriminatory abuse, retaliation, or conduct that creates an unreasonable safety risk.

Do not request unnecessary personal information, gifts, money outside authorized payments, secrecy from a parent or NTE, private images, home access, or off-Platform contact. Do not transport, supervise, photograph, record, or meet a minor privately unless expressly authorized by a parent or guardian, permitted by NTE policy, lawful, and appropriate to the service.

Communications with minors must remain educational, age-appropriate, and through authorized or parent-approved channels. NTE may review communications as described in the Privacy Policy and applicable law.

15. Reporting Duties and Emergencies

You must promptly report suspected abuse, exploitation, threats, boundary violations, serious misconduct, privacy incidents, or immediate safety concerns to NTE. You are independently responsible for mandatory reports to child-protection or law-enforcement authorities when required by the law applicable to you or the student. Reporting to NTE does not replace a legally required external report.

Contact local emergency services when there is imminent danger or a medical emergency. Preserve relevant records and do not retaliate against a good-faith reporter.

16. Student Records, Privacy, and Security

Use student, parent, client, and User information only as necessary to provide authorized services. Do not sell, disclose, publish, retain unnecessarily, reuse for unrelated marketing, or transfer information outside approved systems without lawful authority.

Use reasonable safeguards, strong passwords, current software, secure networks, and access controls. Do not download or store sensitive records on shared or unsecured devices. Promptly report suspected loss, unauthorized access, disclosure, security incident, or data breach and cooperate with response efforts.

Where NTE or a school identifies you as a school official or authorized service provider under FERPA, COPPA, or similar law, use covered information only for the authorized educational purpose, remain under required control, and return or delete it when instructed and legally permitted.

Privacy and security duties survive termination for as long as protected information is retained.

17. Confidentiality

Confidential Information includes nonpublic NTE business plans, financial information, software and security information, pricing strategy, internal procedures, analytics, customer and Provider data, unreleased features, contractual terms designated confidential, and other information reasonably understood as confidential.

You may use Confidential Information only to perform approved services and may disclose it only to authorized persons who need it and are bound by appropriate duties. Confidential Information excludes information lawfully public without your breach, already lawfully known, independently developed, or rightfully received without restriction.

Legally compelled disclosure is permitted if you give advance notice where lawful and disclose only what is required. Nothing prohibits good-faith reports to regulators, law enforcement, an attorney, or government agencies, or legally protected whistleblowing. Trade-secret confidentiality survives while information remains a trade secret; other confidentiality duties survive for three years after termination unless law or a separate written agreement requires longer.

18. NTE Intellectual Property

NTE owns its trademarks, logos, branding, software, databases, designs, Platform functionality, internal documentation, and original Company materials. No ownership transfers to you. You receive a limited, revocable, nonexclusive right to use authorized NTE materials only while performing approved services.

You may not copy, sell, sublicense, reverse engineer, scrape, modify, distribute, or exploit NTE intellectual property except as expressly authorized or permitted by law.

19. Tutor-Created Content

You retain ownership of content independently created by you unless a separate written work-for-hire, commissioned-content, or assignment agreement states otherwise.

By uploading, publishing, displaying, or selling content through the Platform, you grant NTE a worldwide, nonexclusive, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, technically or accessibly format, display, distribute, deliver, market, promote, and use the content as reasonably necessary to operate the Platform and fulfill purchases.

The license continues while the content is offered and afterward as reasonably necessary to serve prior purchasers, maintain backups and legal records, complete authorized promotions, and operate technical systems. Removing content does not revoke licenses already granted to purchasers or require recall of lawfully sold copies.

You represent that you own or have all permissions required for the content and that it is accurate, lawful, age-appropriate, nondefamatory, and does not violate privacy, publicity, confidentiality, contract, trademark, copyright, or other rights.

20. Commissioned Work

Content specifically commissioned and paid for by NTE may be treated as work made for hire where legally permitted. To the extent it is not work made for hire, you assign to NTE the rights expressly identified in the written project terms upon full payment. General materials, methods, templates, and intellectual property you developed independently before the project remain yours, subject to any license necessary for NTE to use the commissioned deliverable.

21. AI Use

You remain responsible for all AI-assisted content, communications, recommendations, grading, feedback, and materials. You must verify accuracy, originality, citations, bias, age appropriateness, and legal compliance.

Do not enter confidential NTE information, personally identifiable student information, protected education records, health information, assessment answers, or client materials into an external AI system unless NTE and the affected party have authorized it and applicable privacy requirements are satisfied.

You may not use AI to impersonate a human, fabricate credentials or sources, plagiarize, enable cheating, make unlawful high-impact decisions, or provide unqualified professional advice. Disclose material AI involvement when required by NTE policy, law, or reasonable client expectations.

22. Blogs, Community Posts, and Public Content

Tutor articles, profiles, comments, community posts, service listings, and other public content must be accurate, professional, lawful, and consistent with Platform rules. You are responsible for distinguishing allegations, charges, filings, rulings, dismissals, and proven findings and must not present disputed allegations as established facts.

Educational-law, health, financial, employment, or other professional content must include appropriate informational disclaimers and must not falsely create a professional-client relationship. NTE may edit formatting, request corrections, add editorial notices, limit distribution, or remove content for accuracy, safety, legal, quality, or policy reasons.

23. Academic Integrity

You may explain concepts, provide feedback, demonstrate examples, and offer legitimate learning support. You may not impersonate a student, complete a prohibited examination or graded assignment for a student, facilitate plagiarism, provide stolen answers, falsify attendance or progress, or knowingly assist academic misconduct.

24. Recording and Publicity

Do not record lessons, meetings, webinars, communications, screens, or students without all required notice and consent. Additional consent is required for recording minors where applicable.

NTE may record onboarding, training, support, quality reviews, or events only after appropriate notice or consent where required. Marketing use of your name, likeness, voice, biography, or recorded performance requires the authorization provided in a separate release, event notice, content license, or clearly disclosed feature; accepting this Agreement alone is not unlimited publicity consent.

25. Face-to-Face Services

In-person participation is voluntary and may involve travel, illness, injury, harassment, theft, property damage, weather, and emergencies. You are responsible for lawful, professional, and safe performance; transportation; required insurance; venue rules; and approved-location requirements.

Initial meetings should occur in appropriate public or professional locations, not private residences, hotel rooms, secluded places, or locations deemed unsafe. Minors must be supervised as required by the parent, NTE, venue, and law. Unless expressly agreed, NTE does not provide transportation, security, medical supervision, childcare, guardianship, or continuous monitoring.

You must stop or decline an unsafe or unlawful session and promptly report serious incidents. Nothing requires you to perform where conditions create a reasonable safety concern.

26. Health, Wellness, Fitness, and Martial Arts

Offer these services only within your qualifications and legal scope. Do not diagnose, treat, prescribe, provide therapy, or present general wellness instruction as licensed healthcare unless properly licensed and expressly approved.

Explain material risks, follow appropriate safety practices, require protective equipment where applicable, adapt instruction reasonably, and direct participants to qualified medical professionals when appropriate. Immediately address and report serious injury or emergency. You are responsible for maintaining any legally required liability or professional insurance.

27. Profile, Marketing, and Public Statements

Maintain truthful qualifications, availability, rates, services, experience, licenses, and media. Do not guarantee outcomes, manipulate ratings, buy reviews, use deceptive testimonials, or make unsupported comparative claims.

You may identify yourself accurately as an independent Tutor using NTE, but may not claim to own NTE, speak officially for NTE, bind NTE, or be an NTE employee unless authorized in writing. Follow trademark and brand instructions and promptly correct misleading representations.

You may make truthful statements, provide honest reviews, discuss working conditions, exercise legal rights, and report concerns in good faith. You may not knowingly make false statements of fact, defame others, disclose protected information, or falsely imply official authority.

28. Platform Communications and Off-Platform Activity

Use approved systems for bookings, payments, records, and minor communications. Do not use student contact information for unrelated solicitation or add Users to marketing lists without valid consent.

Off-Platform conduct may affect eligibility only when it reasonably relates to student safety, fraud, professional fitness, legal compliance, harassment, confidentiality, or material risk to NTE or Users.

29. Quality Assurance and Monitoring

NTE may review profiles, completion records, response times, ratings, complaints, content, support contacts, bookings, and authorized communications for quality, safety, fraud prevention, compliance, dispute resolution, and improvement. Monitoring will follow the Privacy Policy and applicable law.

NTE may establish reasonable, prospectively communicated quality, profile, response, content, and safety standards. No metric by itself guarantees bookings or continued participation.

30. Platform and App Changes

NTE may add, test, modify, pause, or discontinue features for legal, safety, security, technical, operational, or business reasons. NTE does not guarantee uninterrupted availability, historical functionality, compatibility, visibility, rankings, or particular search placement.

Roadmaps, beta features, and estimated release dates are goals rather than promises unless expressly agreed in writing. You agree to reasonably cooperate with necessary operational and compliance changes.

31. Third-Party Services and App Stores

Payment processors, app stores, conferencing tools, AI providers, hosting, analytics, communications, and other third parties may have separate terms and policies. NTE is not responsible for matters beyond its reasonable control.

Apple, Google, or another marketplace is not responsible for NTE services, support, or warranties. App-store commissions or payment rules may affect eligible transaction amounts as disclosed.

32. Suspension and Termination

NTE may take proportionate action, including warnings, content or profile removal, booking limits, payout reserves, suspension, or termination, based on failed verification, misconduct, safety concerns, fraud, material complaints, nonperformance, circumvention, infringement, privacy violations, legal requirements, security risks, inactivity, or material breach.

NTE may act immediately when reasonably necessary to protect a person, evidence, funds, systems, or legal compliance. Where appropriate and safe, NTE may provide notice and an opportunity to respond or appeal.

Termination does not eliminate payment for undisputed eligible completed services, subject to refunds, chargebacks, offsets, taxes, and lawful holds. NTE is not liable for speculative future bookings or earnings.

33. Return and Deletion of Information

Upon termination or request, stop using NTE systems and return or securely delete NTE Confidential Information, User information, access credentials, and Company materials, except records you must retain by law. Confirm deletion if reasonably requested. These duties do not require deletion of your independently owned content, but Platform access and use of NTE materials must cease.

34. Insurance and Expenses

You are responsible for ordinary expenses and for determining whether professional liability, general liability, cyber, vehicle, health, accident, or other insurance is appropriate or legally required. NTE may require evidence of insurance for specified higher-risk or face-to-face services.

35. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you will indemnify NTE and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, and affiliates from third-party claims and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful conduct, material breach, negligence or willful misconduct, services, content, privacy or intellectual-property violation, tax obligation, or material misrepresentation.

NTE will provide reasonable notice and allow reasonable participation in the defense. You are not required to indemnify NTE for NTE's own unlawful conduct, gross negligence, or willful misconduct.

36. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." NTE DISCLAIMS IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, EXCEPT WHERE THEY CANNOT LEGALLY BE DISCLAIMED.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NTE AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AND PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOST PROFITS, OPPORTUNITIES, DATA, OR REPUTATION.

NTE'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT NTE PAID YOU DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR (B) US $100. These limits do not apply where prohibited by law, including where applicable liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or legally nonwaivable personal injury.

37. Informal Resolution and Arbitration

Before filing a formal claim, the parties will attempt good-faith resolution. A written notice must identify the claimant and account, facts, requested relief, and contact information. Send it below with the subject Legal Dispute Notice. Either party may proceed after thirty (30) days if unresolved. This does not prevent urgent injunctive relief, agency reports, legally protected complaints, or eligible small-claims actions.

Except for eligible small claims, urgent injunctive relief, intellectual-property or confidentiality misuse, and nonarbitrable claims, disputes will be resolved by binding individual arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act, administered by the American Arbitration Association under applicable Commercial Arbitration Rules or another mutually agreed set of rules. Arbitration may occur remotely, by documents, or in a reasonably convenient location.

Claims must be individual, not class, collective, consolidated, mass, private-attorney-general, or representative actions, where permitted. If the waiver is unenforceable for a claim, that claim proceeds in court rather than class arbitration.

You may opt out of arbitration by sending your name, account email, and clear opt-out request within thirty (30) days after first accepting this Agreement.

38. Governing Law

Georgia law and applicable federal law govern this Agreement without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Nonarbitrated disputes may be brought in courts with jurisdiction over Lawrenceville, Georgia, except where mandatory law requires another forum. Nothing deprives either party of nonwaivable legal protections.

39. Force Majeure

Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond reasonable control, including disaster, war, terrorism, unrest, public-health emergencies, government action, sanctions, utility or internet failures, cyberattack, transportation disruption, labor disputes, supplier failure, or widespread outages. The affected party must make reasonable efforts to reduce the impact and promptly communicate material service disruption.

40. Electronic Communications and Signatures

You consent to electronic agreements, disclosures, payout statements, tax notices, booking information, security alerts, policy updates, and legal notices. Keep contact information current. Electronic acceptance and signatures have the same effect as handwritten signatures to the extent permitted by law.

41. Changes to This Agreement

NTE may revise this Agreement prospectively. The updated date will be posted, and reasonable advance notice will be provided for material changes affecting compensation, dispute procedures, or substantive duties, except changes required sooner for law, safety, or security.

Changes do not retroactively reduce earned compensation or alter completed transactions. Continued participation after the effective date constitutes acceptance where permitted. If you do not agree, stop accepting new work and close your Tutor account after properly completing or canceling existing obligations.

42. Assignment, Severability, Waiver, and Survival

You may not transfer this Agreement or your account without NTE's written consent. NTE may assign it in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, financing, asset sale, or Platform transfer, subject to law.

If a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited or severed to the minimum necessary, and the remainder continues. Failure to enforce is not a waiver. Payment, taxes, privacy, confidentiality, intellectual property, content licenses, dispute, liability, indemnity, and logically surviving duties remain effective after termination.

43. Entire Agreement and Order of Priority

This Agreement, the Privacy Policy, Community Guidelines, and applicable listing, booking, seller, payout, or project terms constitute the agreement concerning Tutor participation. A signed project-specific agreement controls that project, followed by transaction-specific terms, this Agreement, and Community Guidelines; the Privacy Policy controls descriptions of personal-information practices.

This Agreement supersedes prior general Tutor terms on the same subject. Any individual amendment or waiver must be in an authorized writing.

44. Contact Information

Questions, account-closure requests, privacy or safety reports, copyright notices, arbitration opt-outs, and dispute notices may be directed to:

New To Education, LLC
Tutor Support
Lawrenceville, Georgia, USA
Email: [email protected]
Website: https://newtoeducation.com

Use Legal Dispute Notice for disputes, Copyright Notice for copyright complaints, and Safety Report for urgent safety concerns.

45. Final Acknowledgment

By accepting electronically, applying, onboarding, creating a profile, accepting bookings, providing services, uploading or selling content, or otherwise participating as a Tutor, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and voluntarily agreed to this Agreement and had the opportunity to seek independent legal, tax, and professional advice.

New To Education – Vendor Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: September 12, 2026
Last Updated: September 12, 2026

Introduction

This Vendor Agreement and Terms of Understanding ("Agreement") is between New To Education, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company registered in Lawrenceville, Georgia ("NTE," "New To Education," "Company," "Business," "we," "our," or "us"), and the individual, business, organization, creator, author, developer, merchant, consultant, service provider, or other party accepting it ("Vendor" or "you"). This Agreement governs Vendor participation through NewToEducation.com, Newtoed.com, future NTE websites, the NTE mobile application, Community Social Page, community service pages, marketplaces, directories, blogs, newsletters, webinars, live and recorded courses, ebooks, software, music, digital and physical products, business services, affiliate features, AI-powered services, booking and messaging systems, and related offerings (collectively, the "Platform").

By creating a Vendor account, accepting this Agreement electronically, submitting or selling an offering, uploading content, receiving compensation, or otherwise using Vendor features, you agree to this Agreement, the Privacy Policy, Community Guidelines, and applicable listing, seller, transaction, or program terms. If you act for an entity, you represent that you are authorized to bind it.

Independent Vendor Status

The Vendor acknowledges and agrees that they are operating as an independent contractor and independent business entity. Nothing contained within this Agreement shall be interpreted as creating an employment relationship, partnership, agency relationship, franchise relationship, joint venture, representative relationship, fiduciary relationship, or any other employment-related arrangement between the Vendor and the Company.

The Vendor shall remain solely responsible for the operation of their business and for compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, tax obligations, licensing requirements, registration requirements, insurance obligations, reporting requirements, and professional responsibilities. The Company does not provide employment benefits, retirement benefits, healthcare benefits, workers' compensation coverage, unemployment benefits, paid leave, or any other benefits associated with employment.

The Vendor further acknowledges that New To Education does not calculate, prepare, file, report, pay, withhold, or assume responsibility for the Vendor's income taxes, corporate taxes, value-added taxes, consumption taxes, sales taxes, payroll taxes, self-employment taxes, or other tax obligations except where expressly required by applicable law. The Vendor is solely responsible for consulting with qualified tax professionals regarding their tax obligations.

Nature of Vendor Services

The Vendor may provide approved products, services, subscriptions, memberships, educational resources, ebooks, courses, webinars, workshops, applications, software, music, consulting services, coaching services, professional services, digital products, physical products, and other offerings authorized by the Company. The Company may approve, reject, remove, suspend, restrict, reclassify, or discontinue an offering for safety, quality, legal, technical, operational, customer-protection, or business reasons. Where practical, material changes will apply prospectively.

The Vendor acknowledges that the Platform functions as a marketplace and distribution platform. The Company does not guarantee product success, customer satisfaction, business growth, revenue generation, sales volume, marketing performance, visibility, rankings, downloads, bookings, subscriptions, or any other business outcome.

No Guarantee of Revenue or Sales

The Vendor acknowledges that participation on the Platform does not guarantee any minimum level of revenue, profit, sales, downloads, subscriptions, bookings, customer inquiries, traffic, visibility, referrals, commissions, affiliate earnings, sponsorship opportunities, advertising opportunities, or business success. Business outcomes depend upon numerous factors outside the Company's control, including market conditions, competition, pricing, customer demand, product quality, marketing effectiveness, economic conditions, consumer preferences, technological changes, and other variables.

The Vendor assumes all risks associated with operating an independent business and agrees that New To Education shall not be liable for lost profits, lost opportunities, unrealized revenue, business interruptions, reputational harm, or other economic losses resulting from participation on the Platform.

Vendor Verification and Approval

The Company reserves the right to request and verify information relating to the Vendor's identity, qualifications, business operations, ownership rights, intellectual property rights, legal compliance, tax status, residency status, licensing status, payment eligibility, and other matters relevant to Platform participation. Such verification may include government-issued identification documents, business registration documents, licenses, certifications, tax forms, proof of ownership, proof of intellectual property rights, insurance documentation, banking information, references, or other supporting materials.

The Vendor acknowledges that approval, verification, review, onboarding, screening, or acceptance by the Company does not constitute an endorsement, certification, recommendation, warranty, guarantee, or representation regarding the Vendor's products, services, qualifications, legality, or future conduct.

The Vendor must promptly update expired, changed, suspended, or revoked credentials, licenses, insurance, ownership information, tax information, and business records. If the Vendor leaves or the account closes, later participation requires a new application and all then-current verification and onboarding stages; prior approval does not guarantee reapproval.

Revenue Sharing and Compensation

Unless a separate written agreement or clearly displayed program term states otherwise, the Vendor receives 60% of the applicable completed sale amount and NTE retains 40% for approved transactions completed through Platform systems.

The "applicable completed sale amount" is the amount eligible for allocation after successful payment and completion, subject to disclosed adjustments. Refunds, reversals, chargebacks, fraudulent transactions, taxes collected for remittance, payment-processing charges, app-store commissions, currency-conversion costs, legally required withholding, Vendor-funded discounts, shipping adjustments, and other disclosed transaction costs may be deducted or allocated as stated at listing, checkout, or payout.

NTE's 40% portion compensates NTE for Platform access and operation, hosting, payment and marketplace administration, customer support, technology, moderation, and marketing opportunities. The allocation does not create employment, agency, partnership, or joint ownership.

NTE may prospectively change commission structures, marketplace fees, subscriptions, promotions, pricing models, and related financial policies upon reasonable notice. Changes do not retroactively reduce an earned, undisputed amount from a completed transaction.

Payment Processing and Financial Adjustments

Eligible Vendor payouts are generally processed monthly on or around the twenty-seventh (27th) day. This is a processing target and does not guarantee bank receipt that day. NTE may reasonably delay, reserve, adjust, offset, withhold, investigate, or recover amounts for refunds, chargebacks, fraud, legal requirements, compliance reviews, customer disputes, violations, negative balances, incomplete verification, security concerns, or processor restrictions. Undisputed eligible amounts will be released when the issue is resolved, subject to law.

The Vendor acknowledges that third-party payment processors may impose additional restrictions, fees, verification requirements, processing delays, reserve requirements, account limitations, or other conditions beyond the Company's control. The Company shall not be responsible for actions taken by payment processors or financial institutions.

Chargebacks, Refunds, and Customer Disputes

NTE may issue refunds when required by law or the policy disclosed for the transaction, or when reasonably warranted by a substantiated complaint, defect, service failure, technical issue, material inaccuracy, infringement claim, non-delivery, or fraud concern. NTE will consider available transaction, delivery, communication, and complaint records.

Chargebacks, refunds, dispute fees, penalties, and reasonable costs attributable to the Vendor's breach, misrepresentation, defect, non-delivery, unlawful conduct, or fraud may be deducted from current or future payouts or recovered lawfully. The Vendor may provide relevant information during an investigation. NTE will not charge the Vendor for losses caused solely by NTE's own error or misconduct.

Intellectual Property Ownership

The Vendor represents and warrants that all products, services, content, software, applications, music, videos, courses, ebooks, graphics, trademarks, logos, written materials, educational resources, marketing materials, and other offerings submitted to the Platform are either owned by the Vendor or properly licensed for use, distribution, sale, publication, and commercialization.

The Vendor retains ownership of original intellectual property unless otherwise agreed in writing. By uploading, listing, publishing, or selling content, the Vendor grants NTE a worldwide, nonexclusive, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, technically or accessibly format, display, distribute, deliver, market, and promote the content as reasonably necessary to operate the Platform and fulfill transactions.

The license continues while the content is offered and afterward as reasonably necessary to serve prior purchasers, maintain backups and legal records, complete authorized promotions, and operate technical systems. Removal does not revoke licenses already granted to purchasers or require recall of lawfully sold copies.

Intellectual Property Infringement

The Vendor represents and warrants that no product, service, content, software, application, course, ebook, video, audio recording, image, trademark, or other offering submitted to the Platform infringes upon any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, publicity right, privacy right, contractual right, or other legal right belonging to a third party.

The Company reserves the right to remove, suspend, disable, restrict, investigate, or permanently delete content alleged to infringe intellectual property rights. The Company may also suspend Vendor accounts pending investigation.

The Vendor shall be solely responsible for all claims, disputes, damages, losses, legal fees, settlements, and liabilities arising from intellectual property disputes relating to Vendor content.

Artificial Intelligence and Generated Content

The Vendor may utilize artificial intelligence tools, content-generation systems, machine-learning technologies, image-generation tools, automated software, and related technologies when creating products or services, provided such use complies with applicable laws and Platform policies.

The Vendor remains solely responsible for verifying the legality, originality, accuracy, ownership, quality, safety, and suitability of all submitted content. The use of artificial intelligence shall not relieve the Vendor of responsibility for plagiarism, copyright infringement, false advertising, misinformation, unlawful content, or policy violations.

The Company reserves the right to require disclosure regarding the use of artificial intelligence in the creation of products or services and may restrict certain forms of AI-generated content at its discretion.

The Vendor shall not submit confidential NTE information, protected student or customer records, health information, financial credentials, government identifiers, or content the Vendor lacks authority to disclose into an external AI service. The Vendor may not use AI to fabricate reviews or credentials, impersonate another person, enable academic cheating, or make unlawful high-impact decisions.

Vendor Data and Customer Information

The Vendor acknowledges that access to customer information is granted solely for the purpose of fulfilling approved transactions and providing services through the Platform.

The Vendor shall not sell, disclose, distribute, transfer, copy, scrape, download, archive, exploit, or otherwise utilize customer information for unauthorized purposes. Customer information may not be added to external mailing lists, marketing databases, customer relationship management systems, advertising campaigns, or other systems without appropriate authorization.

The Vendor shall maintain reasonable security safeguards and comply with all applicable privacy and data protection laws.

The Vendor shall promptly report suspected unauthorized access, loss, disclosure, security incidents, or data breaches; preserve relevant records; cooperate with response efforts; and securely delete customer information when no longer needed or when instructed, except where law requires retention.

Confidentiality

The Vendor acknowledges that participation on the Platform may provide access to confidential information relating to the Company, customers, affiliates, contractors, businesses, organizations, technology systems, operational procedures, financial information, strategic plans, pricing information, marketing information, and other proprietary information.

The Vendor agrees to maintain strict confidentiality regarding such information and shall not disclose, distribute, publish, reproduce, transmit, sell, or otherwise use confidential information except as necessary to perform approved services through the Platform.

Trade-secret confidentiality survives while information remains a trade secret. Other confidentiality duties survive for three (3) years after termination unless law or a separate written agreement requires longer. This section does not prohibit lawful reports to regulators, law enforcement, an attorney, or government agencies, or legally protected whistleblowing.

Prohibited Products and Services

The Company reserves the right to prohibit, restrict, remove, reject, suspend, or terminate listings involving products, services, or content that may create legal, operational, safety, reputational, ethical, regulatory, or business concerns.

Without limitation, prohibited offerings may include unlawful content, fraudulent products, counterfeit goods, hate speech, discriminatory content, extremist materials, pornography, sexually explicit materials, unlawful gambling products, unauthorized financial services, regulated substances, illegal drugs, malicious software, spyware, deceptive advertising, intellectual property violations, or any offering deemed inconsistent with Platform policies.

The Company may determine whether an offering is appropriate using reasonable Platform-safety, quality, legal, technical, operational, and customer-protection standards.

Product Compliance, Safety, and Fulfillment

The Vendor is responsible for ensuring that each offering is legal, safe, accurately described, fit for its stated purpose, and compliant with applicable consumer-protection, accessibility, labeling, advertising, product-safety, warranty, licensing, import, export, and professional rules.

Physical-product Vendors are responsible for inventory, packaging, shipping disclosures, delivery, tracking, returns, recalls, and legally required warnings. The Vendor must promptly notify NTE of a known safety defect, recall, counterfeit concern, prohibited item, or material delivery failure.

Digital-product Vendors must ensure files are functional, free of malware and undisclosed technological restrictions, and delivered in the advertised format. Software and applications must disclose material system requirements, subscriptions, in-app purchases, data practices, and third-party dependencies.

Subscription Vendors must clearly disclose price, billing frequency, renewal, cancellation, and material restrictions and must comply with automatic-renewal laws. Vendors may not add undisclosed charges or materially change a completed order.

Community, Messaging, Blogs, and Minors

Vendor profiles, listings, Community posts, comments, messages, blogs, newsletters, reviews, and public statements must be accurate, professional, lawful, and consistent with the Community Guidelines. Vendors may not harass, threaten, exploit, groom, sexually target, discriminate against, or endanger another User; publish private information; manipulate engagement; or distribute spam.

Communications involving minors must remain age-appropriate, necessary for the service, and through authorized or parent-approved channels. Vendors may not request secrecy, unnecessary personal information, private images, gifts, or unauthorized off-Platform contact. Suspected abuse, exploitation, threats, or immediate safety risks must be reported to NTE and to authorities where the Vendor has an independent legal reporting duty.

Articles or public content discussing litigation, charges, allegations, employment matters, or public records must distinguish allegations from proven findings and include appropriate informational disclaimers. NTE may request corrections, add editorial notices, limit distribution, or remove content for accuracy, safety, legal, or policy reasons.

Marketplace Conduct and Professional Standards

The Vendor agrees to conduct business in a professional, lawful, ethical, respectful, and commercially reasonable manner at all times.

The Vendor shall not engage in deceptive advertising, false claims, misleading descriptions, fraudulent activity, harassment, intimidation, discriminatory conduct, manipulation of reviews, spam, unauthorized solicitation, abuse of Platform systems, or conduct that may harm customers, Platform users, or the reputation of the Company.

The Company reserves the right to investigate complaints, review Vendor conduct, monitor marketplace activity, and take corrective action where appropriate.

Non-Circumvention and Platform Protection

The Vendor acknowledges that New To Education invests significant resources in developing Platform systems, recruiting users, marketing services, maintaining customer relationships, providing infrastructure, processing transactions, and supporting marketplace operations.

The Vendor agrees not to intentionally circumvent the Platform by obtaining customer information through the Platform and subsequently conducting transactions outside Platform systems for the purpose of avoiding fees, commissions, policies, or business requirements.

The Vendor further agrees not to encourage customers, clients, organizations, businesses, or other Platform users to bypass Platform systems.

Intentional violation may result in suspension or termination, recovery of demonstrable unpaid fees, injunctive relief, or other lawful remedies. Earned compensation unrelated to the violation will not be automatically forfeited.

Non-Solicitation

During participation and for twelve (12) months after the Vendor's last Platform-facilitated interaction with a customer or client introduced through NTE, the Vendor shall not knowingly move that relationship off Platform for the purpose of avoiding disclosed NTE fees, commissions, policies, or safeguards.

This restriction does not prohibit documented preexisting relationships, general advertising not targeted at NTE Users, lawful competition, or business unrelated to Platform introductions.

Reviews, Ratings, and Customer Feedback

The Company reserves the right to collect, display, analyze, moderate, remove, archive, or otherwise utilize customer reviews, ratings, testimonials, feedback, complaints, and performance information.

The Vendor acknowledges that customer reviews may impact visibility, marketplace placement, eligibility for promotional opportunities, and continued participation on the Platform.

The Company reserves the right to investigate suspicious review activity and remove reviews that violate Platform policies.

Criminal History, Sanctions, and Organizational Affiliations

The Vendor represents and warrants that neither the Vendor nor any owner, officer, director, employee, contractor, representative, affiliate, or controlling party associated with the Vendor is knowingly affiliated with organized crime groups, terrorist organizations, extremist organizations, criminal enterprises, sanctioned entities, human trafficking organizations, money laundering operations, fraudulent schemes, or other unlawful organizations.

The Vendor represents that information supplied to NTE is accurate and agrees to promptly disclose, to the extent permitted by law, a criminal charge or conviction, regulatory action, sanctions designation, substantiated safety finding, professional discipline, license restriction, or government action reasonably related to Platform safety, legality, trust, or the Vendor's offerings. An arrest alone will not automatically be treated as proof where law requires individualized consideration.

The Company reserves the right to conduct identity verification, sanctions screening, reference checks, background reviews, public-record reviews, business verification procedures, and other investigations where permitted by law.

Vendor Monitoring and Compliance Reviews

The Vendor acknowledges that the Company may monitor Platform activity, product listings, sales activity, communications, customer interactions, reviews, complaints, refund activity, chargeback activity, content submissions, profile information, and operational metrics for quality assurance, security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, customer protection, and business management purposes.

The Company reserves the right to audit Vendor accounts, request documentation, review products and services, investigate complaints, verify compliance, and conduct operational reviews at any time.

The Vendor agrees to cooperate reasonably with proportionate compliance reviews and investigations and to preserve relevant records.

Account Suspension and Immediate Removal

NTE may take proportionate action, including warning, listing removal, transaction limits, payout reserves, suspension, or termination, based on failed verification, material complaints, fraud, non-delivery, infringement, safety risks, legal requirements, security threats, or material breach.

NTE may act immediately when reasonably necessary to protect a person, evidence, funds, systems, customers, or legal compliance. Where practical and safe, NTE may provide notice and an opportunity to respond or appeal.

Termination does not eliminate payment for undisputed eligible completed transactions, subject to refunds, chargebacks, offsets, taxes, and lawful holds. NTE is not liable for speculative future sales or opportunities.

Product Removal and Marketplace Control

NTE may modify formatting, remove, restrict, reclassify, archive, hide, suspend, or disable an offering for legal, safety, quality, technical, operational, infringement, fraud, customer-protection, or policy reasons.

The Vendor acknowledges that participation on the Platform does not create a permanent right to maintain listings or continue offering products or services through Platform systems.

The Company may remove offerings that create legal, operational, technical, regulatory, safety, reputational, customer-service, or business concerns.

Platform Modifications and Technology Changes

The Vendor acknowledges that the Platform may undergo redesigns, software upgrades, infrastructure changes, payment processor changes, artificial intelligence integrations, mobile application updates, feature additions, feature removals, security enhancements, and operational modifications.

The Company makes no guarantee regarding uninterrupted operation, compatibility with third-party services, preservation of historical functionality, or continued availability of specific features.

The Vendor agrees to reasonably cooperate with Platform changes and acknowledges that modifications may impact visibility, sales, functionality, workflows, and operational procedures.

Roadmaps, beta features, estimated release dates, rankings, and promotional opportunities are not guaranteed unless expressly agreed in writing. Third-party payment processors, app stores, hosting providers, AI providers, shipping companies, and other services may impose separate terms and may affect availability, fees, and fulfillment.

Insurance and Business Expenses

The Vendor is responsible for ordinary business expenses and for determining whether general liability, professional liability, product liability, cyber, vehicle, workers' compensation, or other insurance is appropriate or legally required. NTE may require evidence of suitable coverage for specified physical products, regulated services, higher-risk activities, or face-to-face services.

Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, the Vendor will defend and indemnify NTE and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, and affiliates from third-party claims, liabilities, damages, and reasonable costs arising from the Vendor's unlawful conduct, material breach, negligence or willful misconduct, products or services, infringement, privacy violation, tax obligation, product defect, false advertising, or material misrepresentation.

NTE will provide reasonable notice of a covered claim and allow the Vendor reasonable participation in the defense. The Vendor is not required to indemnify NTE for NTE's own unlawful conduct, gross negligence, or willful misconduct.

The Vendor's indemnification obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, New To Education, its owners, officers, directors, employees, contractors, affiliates, licensors, service providers, representatives, successors, and assigns shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, exemplary, economic, reputational, emotional, speculative, or business damages arising from participation on the Platform.

This limitation includes damages relating to lost profits, lost revenue, lost customers, lost opportunities, lost data, lost content, marketplace changes, payment delays, service interruptions, technical issues, software failures, cyber incidents, customer disputes, regulatory actions, or other business losses.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company's aggregate liability shall not exceed the greater of the compensation paid to the Vendor during the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim or US $100. These limitations do not apply where prohibited by law, including where applicable fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or liability that cannot legally be limited.

Assumption of Ordinary Business Risk

The Vendor assumes the ordinary commercial risks of independently offering products or services, including uncertain demand, competition, customer preferences, and third-party service interruptions. This section does not waive claims that cannot legally be waived or excuse NTE from express written obligations.

Force Majeure

The Company shall not be liable for delays, interruptions, failures, suspensions, cancellations, disruptions, or inability to perform resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control.

Such causes may include natural disasters, pandemics, cyberattacks, internet outages, utility failures, labor disputes, governmental actions, sanctions, war, terrorism, civil unrest, transportation disruptions, supplier failures, software failures, hosting failures, payment processor disruptions, acts of God, and other unforeseen circumstances.

The Company reserves the right to suspend, modify, restrict, postpone, or discontinue services during such events without liability.

Arbitration and Dispute Resolution

The parties will first attempt good-faith informal resolution. A written notice must identify the claimant and account, relevant facts, requested relief, and contact information and be sent below with the subject Legal Dispute Notice. Either party may proceed after thirty (30) days if unresolved. This does not prevent urgent injunctive relief, government reports, legally protected complaints, or eligible small-claims actions.

Except for eligible small claims, urgent injunctive relief, intellectual-property or confidentiality misuse, and claims that cannot legally be arbitrated, disputes will be resolved through binding individual arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act, administered by the American Arbitration Association under its applicable Commercial Arbitration Rules or another mutually agreed set of rules. Arbitration may occur remotely, by documents, or in a reasonably convenient location.

Claims must be brought individually, not as class, collective, consolidated, mass, private-attorney-general, or representative actions, where permitted. If this waiver is unenforceable for a claim, that claim proceeds in court, not class arbitration. The Vendor may opt out of arbitration within thirty (30) days after first accepting this Agreement by sending its legal name, account email, and clear opt-out request to NTE.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

This Agreement is governed by Georgia law and applicable federal law without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

Nonarbitrated disputes may be brought in state or federal courts with jurisdiction over Lawrenceville, Georgia, except where mandatory law requires another forum.

Privacy and Account Closure

NTE's Privacy Policy and any applicable Vendor privacy notice govern personal-information practices and are incorporated by reference. The Vendor must comply with applicable privacy law and Platform data-handling rules when processing customer information.

The Vendor may request account closure at any time after properly completing, refunding, transferring, or canceling outstanding orders and resolving balances. Closure does not eliminate payout adjustments, returns, recalls, chargebacks, taxes, disputes, prior purchaser licenses, confidentiality duties, or records lawfully retained. App-store subscriptions or services may also require action through the applicable store.

Entire Agreement

This Agreement, together with incorporated policies, privacy policies, marketplace rules, operational procedures, platform guidelines, statements of understanding, and future amendments, constitutes the complete and exclusive agreement between the Vendor and the Company.

This Agreement supersedes all prior oral and written discussions, negotiations, communications, representations, understandings, and agreements relating to Vendor participation.

Modification of Agreement

NTE may revise this Agreement prospectively. Reasonable advance notice will be provided for material changes affecting compensation, dispute procedures, or substantive Vendor obligations, except where changes are required sooner for law, security, or safety.

Changes do not retroactively reduce earned compensation or alter completed transactions. Continued participation after the stated effective date constitutes acceptance where permitted. A Vendor that does not agree must stop offering new products or services and close the account after resolving existing orders and obligations.

Survival

Any provisions that by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination of this Agreement, including but not limited to confidentiality obligations, intellectual property provisions, indemnification obligations, limitation of liability provisions, dispute resolution provisions, payment obligations, non-solicitation provisions, non-circumvention provisions, and governing law provisions.

Final Acknowledgement and Acceptance

By creating a Vendor account, submitting products or services, uploading content, receiving payments, participating in marketplace activities, utilizing Platform systems, or otherwise engaging with New To Education, the Vendor acknowledges that they have carefully read, understood, and voluntarily agreed to be legally bound by this Agreement.

The Vendor further acknowledges that they have had the opportunity to seek independent legal, financial, accounting, tax, and professional advice regarding this Agreement and enter into it freely and voluntarily.

New To Education Affiliate Program Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: September 12, 2026
Last Updated: September 12, 2026

1. Agreement and Company Information

These Affiliate Program Terms and Conditions (the “Agreement”) are between New To Education, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (“NTE,” “New To Education,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), and the person or entity applying for or participating in the New To Education Affiliate Program (“Affiliate,” “you,” or “your”).

This Agreement governs the Affiliate Program offered through NewToEducation.com, Newtoed.com, NTE mobile applications, and all related NTE-operated websites, community social and community service pages, blogs, newsletters, tutoring and educational services, courses, ebooks, digital and physical products, marketplaces, vendor and business listings, job postings, donation features, artificial-intelligence features, messaging tools, and other current or future services (collectively, the “Platform”).

By applying, accepting Program access, using an approved referral link or code, or otherwise participating, you agree to this Agreement and all Program rules presented to you. If you participate for an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind it.

2. Eligibility, Application, and Account Information

You must be at least eighteen (18) years old and legally able to enter a binding contract. You must provide complete, accurate, and current identity, contact, payment, tax, and promotional-channel information and promptly update it when it changes.

NTE may approve or reject an application based on legitimate business, safety, legal, brand, or compliance considerations. Approval is personal to the approved Affiliate and may not be transferred, sold, shared, or sublicensed without NTE’s written permission.

3. Independent Contractor Relationship

You participate as an independent contractor, not as an employee, agent, partner, joint venturer, franchisee, fiduciary, or authorized representative of NTE. You have no authority to make promises, warranties, commitments, or contracts on NTE’s behalf.

You control how and when you conduct lawful promotional activities and are responsible for your expenses, equipment, insurance, permits, licenses, taxes, and legal compliance. NTE does not provide employment benefits, workers’ compensation, unemployment coverage, paid leave, retirement benefits, or expense reimbursement.

4. The Affiliate Program

The Program permits approved Affiliates to promote eligible Platform offerings through referral links, codes, or other tracking methods authorized by NTE. Participation does not guarantee traffic, referrals, conversions, commissions, income, or any particular business result.

Only offerings identified by NTE as eligible for affiliate commissions qualify. Donations, tips, taxes, shipping charges, noncommissionable subscriptions or services, and other excluded items do not qualify unless NTE expressly states otherwise in writing.

5. Five Percent (5%) Commission

Unless a separate written campaign offer expressly states otherwise, the standard Affiliate commission is five percent (5%) of Qualifying Net Revenue from a Qualifying Transaction properly attributed to the Affiliate.

“Qualifying Transaction” means a bona fide, completed purchase of an eligible Platform offering by an eligible referred customer that:

• is made through an NTE-authorized referral link, code, or tracking method;

• is successfully received and verified by NTE;

• complies with this Agreement and applicable campaign rules; and

• is not cancelled, refunded, reversed, charged back, fraudulent, duplicated, disputed, or otherwise ineligible.

“Qualifying Net Revenue” means the amount NTE actually receives and retains from the Qualifying Transaction after deducting, as applicable, taxes, shipping and delivery charges, refunds, returns, credits, discounts, chargebacks, payment-processing or app-store fees, fraud losses, and other transaction-specific adjustments disclosed in Program materials.

The 5% Affiliate commission is separate from the Platform’s seller, tutor, vendor, creator, or service-provider revenue share, under which an eligible provider generally receives 60% and NTE retains 40% as stated in the applicable provider terms. An Affiliate does not receive a provider’s 60% share merely because the Affiliate referred the transaction. If the same person acts in both roles, each payment is separately calculated under the terms governing that role.

6. Tracking and Attribution

NTE may provide unique referral links, codes, identifiers, landing pages, or other approved tracking tools. Affiliates must use them as instructed and may not alter or interfere with them.

Unless a specific campaign states otherwise, NTE uses the last valid eligible referral recorded by its systems. Any cookie duration or attribution window shown in the Affiliate dashboard or applicable campaign rules controls. NTE’s records will govern attribution absent a clear, demonstrable tracking error.

Tracking may be affected by cookie settings, device changes, ad blockers, browser restrictions, deleted cookies, use of a different link or code, technical interruptions, or customer actions. NTE will use commercially reasonable efforts to operate tracking systems but does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free attribution.

7. Commission Approval, Statements, and Payment

Commissions are pending until the applicable transaction is verified and the relevant refund, return, chargeback, fraud-review, or cancellation period has passed. Approved commissions are generally paid monthly through an available payment method, subject to any minimum payout threshold or payment schedule disclosed in the Affiliate dashboard or Program materials.

You must maintain valid payment and tax information. Payment may be delayed for incomplete verification, payment-processor restrictions, a good-faith fraud or compliance review, a legal hold, or an unresolved dispute. NTE may deduct or offset transaction-specific refunds, chargebacks, overpayments, duplicate credits, or other documented amounts owed to NTE.

You should report a suspected commission error within sixty (60) days after the applicable statement or dashboard entry becomes available. NTE will review timely, good-faith disputes and correct verified errors.

NTE will not retroactively reduce the 5% rate for a commission already earned under the rules in effect when the Qualifying Transaction occurred. Undisputed, earned commissions remain payable after account closure or termination, subject to lawful deductions, payment thresholds, tax documentation, and fraud or chargeback adjustments.

8. Taxes and Payment Costs

You are responsible for determining, reporting, and paying all taxes arising from Affiliate commissions. NTE may request tax forms, make legally required withholdings, and issue required tax documents. You are responsible for payment-provider, bank, transfer, or currency-conversion fees unless NTE states otherwise.

NTE does not provide legal, tax, accounting, or financial advice.

9. Required Affiliate Disclosures

You must clearly and conspicuously disclose your material connection to NTE wherever you promote an Affiliate link or code, as required by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and other applicable laws and platform rules. A disclosure must be easy to notice and understand, placed near the endorsement or link, and not hidden only in a profile, terms page, hashtag group, or “more” expansion.

Examples such as “I may earn a commission if you purchase through this link” may be appropriate, but you are responsible for ensuring your disclosure is legally sufficient for the medium and audience.

Endorsements and testimonials must reflect honest opinions and actual experiences. You may not make unsubstantiated claims or promises concerning educational outcomes, grades, admissions, employment, earnings, health, safety, or other results.

10. Permitted Promotion and Community Conduct

Subject to this Agreement and applicable channel rules, Affiliates may promote eligible offerings through their websites, social media, blogs, newsletters, podcasts, videos, webinars, and other approved channels. Affiliate activity on NTE community social pages, community service pages, blogs, messaging tools, or other interactive areas must also comply with the applicable NTE community, content, privacy, and acceptable-use rules.

You must communicate truthfully and professionally, accurately describe the eligible offering, promptly correct material errors, and avoid implying that you work for or officially speak for NTE.

11. Prohibited Practices

You may not:

• use deceptive advertising, false claims, fake reviews, impersonation, misleading redirects, or undisclosed endorsements;

• send spam or unlawful unsolicited commercial messages, or violate email, text-message, telemarketing, privacy, or consumer-protection laws;

• engage in click fraud, cookie stuffing, forced clicks, link hijacking, referral interception, bot or nonhuman traffic, domain squatting, tracking manipulation, or fraudulent accounts or transactions;

• make self-referrals or arrange purchases by household or immediate-family members primarily to generate a commission, unless NTE expressly authorizes them in writing;

• offer unauthorized cash back, incentives, rebates, coupons, discounts, or rewards for using an Affiliate link;

• promote through illegal, discriminatory, hateful, sexually exploitative, violent, defamatory, infringing, or otherwise harmful content;

• target children or collect information from minors in violation of applicable law;

• scrape, harvest, sell, or misuse customer or Platform data;

• interfere with Platform security, operation, pricing, seller/provider relationships, or commission systems; or

• encourage users to bypass the Platform, its payment systems, applicable fees, or policies.

12. Paid Search, Domains, and Brand Restrictions

Unless NTE gives prior written approval, you may not bid on, purchase, or target “New To Education,” “NTE,” “NewToEducation.com,” “Newtoed.com,” their misspellings, or confusingly similar branded terms in paid-search or keyword advertising. You may not use NTE branding in a domain name, social-media handle, app name, account name, metadata, or advertisement in a way that implies ownership, official status, or endorsement.

13. Intellectual Property License

While your Affiliate account remains active and compliant, NTE grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, nonsublicensable license to use current, approved NTE names, logos, links, and promotional materials solely to participate in the Program.

You may resize approved materials without distorting them but may not otherwise alter, rebrand, sell, sublicense, remove notices from, or create confusingly similar versions of NTE intellectual property without written approval. All goodwill arising from authorized use benefits NTE. The license ends immediately when your participation ends or NTE withdraws the material.

14. Affiliate Content and Artificial Intelligence

You are responsible for all content you publish, including content drafted, translated, personalized, or generated using artificial intelligence or automation. You must review it for accuracy, required disclosures, intellectual-property rights, privacy, bias, and legal compliance before publication.

You may not use AI to create fake testimonials, impersonate a person, fabricate results, make deceptive claims, generate spam, or misrepresent an official relationship with NTE. NTE may require correction or removal of promotional content that violates this Agreement or creates a material legal, security, or brand risk.

15. Privacy, Data Security, and Confidentiality

Each party will comply with applicable privacy and data-protection laws. You may use referral and customer information only as authorized for the Program and may not independently collect personal information through NTE links or tools unless you provide all required notices, obtain all required consent, and have a lawful basis to do so.

You must use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards; promptly notify NTE of suspected unauthorized access involving Program or customer data; and securely delete data when it is no longer lawfully needed.

Nonpublic business, security, technical, customer, pricing, campaign, and payment information disclosed by NTE is confidential. You may use it only for Program participation and may disclose it only to personnel who need it and are bound by comparable duties, or as legally required. Information that is public without breach, independently developed, or lawfully received without confidentiality restrictions is not confidential.

16. Monitoring, Records, and Cooperation

NTE may reasonably review referral activity, traffic sources, public promotions, conversion patterns, and related records to verify eligibility and investigate suspected fraud or violations. Upon reasonable request, you will provide information relevant to that review, subject to applicable law and the privacy rights of others.

NTE will limit requests to information reasonably related to the Program and will handle personal information under its applicable privacy notice.

17. Suspension, Termination, Closure, and Reapplication

Either party may end participation at any time by written or account-based notice. NTE may temporarily restrict tracking or payments while reasonably investigating suspected fraud, security threats, legal violations, material breaches, or payment disputes. When practical, NTE will provide notice and an opportunity to cure a remediable breach.

NTE may immediately terminate participation for fraud, unlawful conduct, intentional tracking manipulation, spam, serious privacy or intellectual-property violations, threats to Platform security or users, repeated violations, or failure to cure a material breach.

If you voluntarily close your Affiliate account or NTE permanently closes it, access and referral privileges end. To participate again, you must submit a new application and complete the then-current approval, identity, tax, payment, and compliance process. Reapproval is not guaranteed.

Termination does not authorize forfeiture of undisputed commissions already earned, except to the extent a specific transaction is ineligible, reversed, fraudulent, subject to chargeback or refund, offset by a documented amount owed, or withholding is required by law.

18. Changes to the Program or Agreement

NTE may update the Program, eligible offerings, attribution methods, payment procedures, or this Agreement for operational, legal, security, or business reasons. Material changes will be communicated by posting an updated version and, when reasonably practicable, by email, dashboard notice, or another appropriate method before they take effect.

Changes apply prospectively unless required by law or necessary to address fraud, abuse, or an urgent security risk. A change to the standard commission rate will not reduce commissions already earned. If you do not agree to an update, you may stop participating and close your Affiliate account before the change takes effect. Continued participation after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

19. Representations and Compliance with Law

You represent that your participation and promotional materials will comply with this Agreement, applicable laws, advertising and endorsement requirements, intellectual-property and privacy rights, anti-spam and telemarketing rules, and the rules of each channel you use. You are responsible for obtaining any licenses, permissions, and releases required for your content or activities.

20. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Program, Platform, referral tools, reports, and promotional materials are provided “as is” and “as available.” NTE disclaims implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and noninfringement. NTE does not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free tracking, any level of traffic or conversion, or any amount of commissions.

Nothing in this Agreement excludes a warranty or right that applicable law does not permit the parties to exclude.

21. Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless NTE and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from third-party claims, damages, penalties, liabilities, and reasonable legal costs arising from your unlawful or unauthorized promotion, breach of this Agreement, infringement or misuse of third-party rights, privacy or data-security violation, tax obligations, or fraud or willful misconduct.

NTE will promptly notify you of a covered claim and permit you to control the defense with reasonably acceptable counsel, provided that you may not settle a claim in a way that admits wrongdoing by or imposes nonmonetary duties on NTE without NTE’s written consent.

22. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither party will be liable to the other for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities, arising from the Program, even if advised that such damages were possible.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, NTE’s aggregate liability arising from the Program will not exceed the greater of (a) commissions paid or payable to you during the six (6) months before the event giving rise to the claim or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100).

These limits do not apply to fraud, willful misconduct, a party’s indemnification obligations, misuse of intellectual property or confidential information, or liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

23. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

Before filing a claim, the complaining party must send written notice describing the dispute and requested relief. The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve it for at least thirty (30) days after receipt.

Except for an eligible individual claim brought in small-claims court or a request for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief concerning intellectual property, confidentiality, security, or unauthorized system access, any dispute arising from this Agreement or the Program will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its applicable Consumer Arbitration Rules or Commercial Arbitration Rules, depending on the nature of the relationship. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this section.

Arbitration may occur by video, telephone, document submission, or in person in Gwinnett County, Georgia, unless the parties agree otherwise or applicable AAA rules require another reasonably convenient location. Each party retains any nonwaivable rights regarding arbitration fees and remedies.

Class-action waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by law, disputes must proceed only on an individual basis and not as a class, collective, consolidated, mass, or representative action. If this waiver is found unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim will proceed in court after all arbitrable claims are completed.

Thirty-day opt out. You may opt out of arbitration by emailing [email protected] within thirty (30) days after first accepting this Agreement. Your notice must state your name, Affiliate account email, and an unambiguous request to opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect other terms or Program eligibility.

24. Governing Law and Courts

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs arbitration. For disputes not subject to arbitration, the parties consent to the state or federal courts located in or serving Gwinnett County, Georgia, unless applicable law requires another forum.

25. General Terms

This Agreement, applicable campaign terms, and policies expressly incorporated into it form the entire agreement concerning the Program and supersede prior Affiliate Program understandings. A campaign-specific written term controls only for that campaign and only to the extent it conflicts with this Agreement.

You may not assign this Agreement without NTE’s prior written consent. NTE may assign it in connection with a merger, reorganization, sale of assets, financing, or transfer of the Program. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum lawful extent and the remaining provisions will continue. Headings are for convenience only. Electronic notices, acceptances, and records are valid to the extent permitted by law.

Sections that by their nature should survive—including accrued payment obligations, taxes, confidentiality, intellectual property, indemnification, liability limits, and dispute resolution—survive termination.

Last Updated: September 12, 2026

Introduction

This Business Account Terms and Conditions Agreement ("Agreement") is between New To Education, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company registered in Lawrenceville, Georgia ("NTE," "New To Education," "Company," "we," "our," or "us"), and the business, organization, nonprofit, educational institution, corporation, partnership, sole proprietorship, government entity, association, community organization, service provider, or other entity registering for or using a Business Account ("Business User" or "you").

This Agreement governs access to and use of NewToEducation.com, Newtoed.com, future NTE websites, the NTE mobile application, Community Social Page, community service pages, blogs, newsletters, marketplaces, business and organization directories, job postings, hiring features, webinars, live and recorded courses, ebooks, software, music, digital and physical products, advertising, donations, affiliate features, AI-powered services, face-to-face services, booking and messaging systems, and related offerings (collectively, the "Platform").

By creating a Business Account, accepting electronically, listing or selling an offering, purchasing a service, posting content, communicating through the Platform, or otherwise using Business features, you agree to this Agreement, the Privacy Policy, Community Guidelines, and applicable listing, subscription, advertising, donation, seller, or transaction terms. The individual accepting represents that they are authorized to bind the Business User.

Definitions

For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Business User" shall include the registered organization, its owners, officers, directors, employees, contractors, consultants, volunteers, instructors, tutors, representatives, affiliates, agents, administrators, and any other individual acting on behalf of the organization.

The term "Platform" shall include all websites, mobile applications, software systems, educational systems, marketplaces, networking systems, communication tools, webinar systems, directory systems, artificial intelligence systems, community features, future technologies, and related services operated by New To Education.

The term "Content" shall include text, images, videos, audio recordings, webinars, courses, educational materials, ebooks, software, applications, music, advertisements, reviews, comments, listings, business information, and any other material uploaded, submitted, displayed, distributed, or transmitted through the Platform.

The term "Services" shall include educational services, consulting services, coaching services, workshops, webinars, tutoring services, networking opportunities, business services, community activities, digital products, physical products, subscriptions, memberships, events, and any other offerings facilitated through the Platform.

Acceptance of Agreement

By registering for a Business Account, utilizing Platform services, or continuing to access the Platform, the Business User acknowledges that it has reviewed this Agreement and agrees to comply with all provisions contained herein.

If the Business User does not agree with any provision of this Agreement, the Business User must immediately discontinue use of the Platform and refrain from creating or maintaining a Business Account.

NTE may revise this Agreement prospectively under the Modification section below.

Independent Business Relationship

The Business User acknowledges that participation on the Platform does not create an employment relationship, partnership, joint venture, agency relationship, franchise relationship, representative relationship, fiduciary relationship, or other special legal relationship with the Company.

The Business User remains solely responsible for its operations, personnel, products, services, legal compliance, financial obligations, business decisions, and activities.

Nothing contained within this Agreement shall be interpreted as authorizing the Business User to act on behalf of New To Education, bind New To Education contractually, create obligations for New To Education, or represent itself as an employee, representative, partner, franchisee, or agent of the Company.

Taxes and Financial Responsibility

The Business User acknowledges and agrees that New To Education does not prepare, calculate, file, report, remit, pay, withhold, audit, review, or assume responsibility for any taxes owed by the Business User.

The Business User shall remain solely responsible for all income taxes, corporate taxes, business taxes, value-added taxes (VAT), consumption taxes, sales taxes, payroll taxes, withholding taxes, employment taxes, self-employment taxes, excise taxes, franchise taxes, customs duties, import taxes, export taxes, local taxes, regional taxes, national taxes, international tax obligations, and any other financial obligations arising from its operations or participation on the Platform.

The Company does not provide tax advice, accounting advice, financial advice, legal advice, payroll services, bookkeeping services, tax preparation services, tax filing services, or compliance services.

The Business User is encouraged to consult qualified legal, accounting, tax, and financial professionals regarding its obligations.

The Business User agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless New To Education from any claims, penalties, audits, investigations, tax assessments, interest charges, fines, liabilities, reporting failures, withholding obligations, or other financial obligations arising from the Business User's failure to comply with tax or financial requirements.

Reservation of Rights

The Company reserves all rights not expressly granted under this Agreement.

NTE may modify Platform features, introduce or discontinue services, revise procedures, establish reasonable eligibility and verification requirements, investigate activity, and restrict participation for legal, safety, security, technical, operational, customer-protection, or business reasons. Material changes will apply prospectively where practical.

Face-to-Face Services and In-Person Activities

The Platform may permit businesses, organizations, instructors, tutors, consultants, coaches, volunteers, service providers, and other authorized individuals to arrange, advertise, schedule, or conduct face-to-face services, meetings, events, classes, workshops, consultations, networking activities, educational programs, recreational activities, or other in-person interactions.

The Business User acknowledges that New To Education acts solely as a technology platform and marketplace facilitating introductions, bookings, communications, and related services. New To Education does not organize, supervise, monitor, direct, control, inspect, manage, evaluate, or oversee in-person activities conducted by Business Users.

The Business User assumes full responsibility for all in-person activities conducted through or related to the Platform, including participant safety, supervision, transportation arrangements, venue selection, emergency preparedness, facility compliance, risk management, accessibility compliance, participant conduct, instructor qualifications, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

The Business User further acknowledges that participation in face-to-face services may involve inherent risks, including but not limited to personal injury, illness, accidents, property damage, criminal conduct, transportation incidents, communicable diseases, weather-related events, and other unforeseen circumstances. The Business User assumes all risks associated with such activities and agrees that New To Education shall not be liable for injuries, losses, damages, claims, disputes, or incidents arising from in-person interactions.

Student Safety and Participant Protection

The Business User acknowledges that many Platform users may include minors, students, families, vulnerable individuals, or members of the general public.

The Business User agrees to exercise reasonable care and professional judgment when interacting with participants and shall maintain appropriate supervision, safety procedures, reporting procedures, safeguarding protocols, and participant protection measures.

The Business User shall be solely responsible for ensuring that its employees, contractors, tutors, instructors, volunteers, representatives, and affiliates comply with applicable child protection laws, reporting obligations, safeguarding requirements, and professional conduct standards.

The Company does not guarantee the safety, qualifications, character, conduct, background, competence, licensing status, or suitability of any individual or organization utilizing the Platform.

The Business User shall prohibit grooming, sexual or romantic conduct with minors, exploitation, harassment, requests for secrecy, unnecessary personal information, private images, unauthorized off-Platform contact, and unsafe private meetings. Communications with minors must remain age-appropriate and use authorized or parent-approved channels.

Suspected abuse, exploitation, threats, boundary violations, or immediate danger must be reported promptly to NTE and to external authorities where the Business User or its personnel have an independent legal reporting duty. Reporting to NTE does not replace a mandatory report. Retaliation against good-faith reporters is prohibited.

Background Checks and Verification Disclaimer

The Business User acknowledges that New To Education does not guarantee that background checks, criminal history reviews, employment verification, educational verification, reference checks, licensing verification, sanctions screening, or similar investigations have been conducted regarding any Platform user unless expressly stated otherwise by the Company.

While the Company may conduct certain verification activities in its sole discretion, such activities should not be relied upon as a substitute for independent due diligence conducted by the Business User.

The Business User agrees to conduct any investigations, screening procedures, reference checks, interviews, compliance reviews, background checks, licensing reviews, or other evaluations deemed necessary for its own operations.

The Company shall not be responsible for criminal conduct, negligence, misconduct, fraud, misrepresentation, professional malpractice, regulatory violations, or other acts committed by Platform users.

No Accreditation, Certification, or Endorsement

The Business User acknowledges that listing on the Platform, maintaining a Business Account, participating in Platform programs, appearing in Platform directories, receiving verification status, receiving customer reviews, or otherwise utilizing Platform services does not constitute accreditation, certification, endorsement, sponsorship, recommendation, approval, validation, licensing, or verification by New To Education.

The Company makes no representation regarding the quality, legality, safety, qualifications, compliance status, educational value, professional competence, financial stability, operational integrity, or suitability of any Business User, tutor, instructor, consultant, service provider, organization, product, or service.

The Business User agrees not to imply, represent, advertise, or suggest that New To Education has accredited, endorsed, certified, guaranteed, recommended, or otherwise validated its business, services, products, personnel, or operations.

Marketplace Disclaimer

The Platform functions as a marketplace, directory, networking platform, educational platform, communications system, booking system, and technology service.

The Company does not manufacture, create, supervise, control, inspect, test, evaluate, guarantee, warrant, endorse, certify, or assume responsibility for products, services, courses, webinars, consultations, events, educational programs, business opportunities, fundraising activities, networking opportunities, or other offerings made available by Business Users.

Any transaction, relationship, agreement, dispute, communication, service arrangement, purchase, donation, booking, or interaction occurring between Platform users is conducted at the sole risk of the parties involved.

The Company shall not be responsible for disputes relating to pricing, service quality, performance, customer satisfaction, contractual obligations, refunds, cancellations, intellectual property claims, advertising claims, employment matters, educational outcomes, business opportunities, fundraising activities, or other matters arising between Platform users.

Reviews, Ratings, Testimonials, and User Feedback

The Company may allow users to submit reviews, ratings, comments, testimonials, recommendations, feedback, complaints, and other content relating to Business Users.

NTE may review, moderate, label, remove, archive, investigate, restrict, display, or prioritize reviews using reasonable authenticity, safety, legal, and Platform-integrity standards.

The Business User shall not manipulate reviews, purchase reviews, offer incentives for reviews without disclosure, create false reviews, submit reviews regarding itself, coordinate review campaigns, intimidate reviewers, or otherwise engage in deceptive review practices.

The Company reserves the right to suspend, restrict, or terminate accounts involved in review manipulation or other conduct that undermines marketplace integrity.

The Company does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, reliability, fairness, or authenticity of reviews, ratings, testimonials, or feedback displayed on the Platform.

Marketing and Promotional Rights

The Business User grants NTE a worldwide, nonexclusive, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable license to host, store, technically or accessibly format, display, reproduce, distribute, and promote its submitted name, logos, trademarks, profile information, listings, and public content as reasonably necessary to operate the Platform and market the Business User and its offerings.

NTE may feature public Business profiles and listings in directories, search results, newsletters, blogs, social media, and ordinary Platform promotion. A separate advertising campaign, testimonial, case study, or endorsement using nonpublic materials or an individual's likeness or voice requires appropriate authorization. The license continues as needed to serve prior purchasers, honor existing campaigns, preserve legal records and backups, and operate technical systems.

The Business User acknowledges that participation on the Platform may result in public visibility and agrees that the Company may reasonably utilize submitted materials in connection with operating, promoting, improving, and expanding the Platform.

Intellectual Property Rights

The Business User represents and warrants that it owns or possesses all rights, licenses, permissions, approvals, and authorizations necessary to upload, display, distribute, market, advertise, publish, license, or otherwise utilize any content submitted through the Platform.

The Business User agrees not to submit content that infringes upon copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets, privacy rights, publicity rights, contractual rights, or other legal rights belonging to third parties.

The Company reserves the right to remove, restrict, disable, investigate, archive, or permanently delete content alleged to violate intellectual property rights and may suspend or terminate Business Accounts pending investigation of intellectual property disputes.

The Business User shall remain solely responsible for all claims, disputes, settlements, judgments, legal fees, damages, losses, penalties, and liabilities arising from intellectual property matters relating to content submitted by the Business User.

Data Privacy and Information Security

The Business User agrees to maintain reasonable administrative, technical, organizational, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, customer information, student information, business information, payment information, and other confidential information accessed through the Platform.

The Business User shall not sell, rent, distribute, transfer, disclose, harvest, scrape, copy, archive, exploit, or otherwise misuse information obtained through Platform services except as expressly authorized by law and Platform policies.

The Business User agrees to comply with all applicable privacy laws, data protection laws, cybersecurity requirements, breach notification obligations, and information security standards applicable to its operations.

The Business User must use personal information only for authorized Platform transactions or services, must not add Users to external marketing systems without valid consent, and must promptly report suspected unauthorized access, disclosure, loss, or breach. Where student education records or children's information is involved, the Business User must comply with FERPA, COPPA, and similar laws to the extent applicable.

The Company reserves the right to investigate suspected privacy violations and may suspend or terminate Business Accounts that fail to maintain appropriate information security practices.

Non-Circumvention and Platform Protection

The Business User acknowledges that New To Education invests substantial resources in developing technology systems, attracting users, maintaining infrastructure, promoting businesses, supporting transactions, operating directories, managing communities, and providing marketplace services.

The Business User agrees not to intentionally circumvent Platform systems, fees, policies, agreements, commission structures, operational procedures, or business protections by utilizing information obtained through the Platform to conduct unauthorized off-platform activities designed to avoid Company policies, fees, agreements, or financial obligations.

The Business User further agrees not to encourage customers, students, clients, organizations, tutors, affiliates, vendors, donors, businesses, or other Platform users to bypass Platform systems for the purpose of avoiding Platform requirements.

For intentional circumvention, NTE may suspend or terminate participation, recover demonstrable unpaid fees, seek injunctive relief, or pursue other lawful remedies. Earned compensation unrelated to the violation will not be automatically forfeited. This section does not prohibit documented preexisting relationships, general advertising not targeted at NTE Users, or lawful business unrelated to Platform introductions.

Cybersecurity Disclaimer

While the Company implements commercially reasonable safeguards designed to protect Platform systems and user information, the Business User acknowledges that no technology platform, website, application, network, communication system, cloud environment, database, or software system can guarantee absolute security.

The Company shall not be liable for losses, damages, interruptions, delays, unauthorized access, data breaches, hacking incidents, malware attacks, ransomware attacks, denial-of-service attacks, phishing incidents, technical failures, software vulnerabilities, infrastructure failures, internet outages, or other cybersecurity events beyond its reasonable control.

The Business User assumes responsibility for implementing appropriate cybersecurity measures within its own operations and systems.

Beta Features and Experimental Services

The Company may periodically introduce beta features, pilot programs, artificial intelligence tools, networking systems, community features, mobile applications, webinar systems, booking systems, donation systems, face-to-face service systems, marketplace features, and other experimental technologies.

Such features may contain bugs, defects, interruptions, incomplete functionality, security vulnerabilities, performance limitations, inaccuracies, compatibility issues, or other operational problems.

The Business User acknowledges that beta and experimental features are provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis without warranties of any kind and assumes all risks associated with their use.

The Company reserves the right to modify, suspend, discontinue, restrict, replace, or remove beta features at any time without liability.

Artificial Intelligence and Automated Features

AI outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, biased, outdated, or unsuitable. The Business User remains responsible for verifying AI-assisted content, recommendations, listings, hiring activity, communications, and decisions.

The Business User may not enter protected student or customer records, confidential NTE information, health information, financial credentials, government identifiers, or content it lacks authority to disclose into an external AI service. AI may not be used to fabricate reviews or credentials, enable cheating, impersonate people, violate intellectual-property rights, or make unlawful employment, education, credit, housing, or other high-impact decisions.

Additional disclosures or consent may be required when Users interact with AI rather than a human or when law requires notice of automated processing.

Donations and Fundraising Activities

Where the Platform permits fundraising activities, charitable campaigns, donation requests, sponsorship programs, crowdfunding activities, nonprofit initiatives, or similar activities, the Business User acknowledges that it remains solely responsible for compliance with all applicable fundraising laws, charitable solicitation requirements, financial reporting obligations, donor communications, tax obligations, and regulatory requirements.

Unless expressly stated, a donation or supporter payment is not represented as tax deductible, and the donor receives no ownership or investment interest. A Business User must not claim charitable status or deductibility it does not possess and must accurately disclose the recipient, purpose, material fees, restrictions, and use of funds.

The Business User agrees that New To Education shall not be responsible for disputes involving donations, fundraising activities, sponsorships, charitable campaigns, donor expectations, financial management, accounting practices, or the use of donated funds.

Community, Blog, Messaging, and Job-Posting Rules

Business profiles, service pages, Community posts, comments, messages, blogs, newsletters, reviews, job postings, and advertisements must be accurate, professional, lawful, and consistent with Community Guidelines. Business Users may not harass, threaten, exploit, discriminate against, impersonate, mislead, publish private information, manipulate reviews, harvest data, or distribute spam.

Editorial content discussing allegations, litigation, charges, employment disputes, or public records must distinguish allegations from proven findings and include appropriate informational disclaimers. NTE may request corrections, add notices, limit distribution, or remove content for accuracy, safety, legal, or policy reasons.

A Business User posting jobs or receiving applications is responsible for applicable employment, wage, discrimination, immigration, background-check, privacy, record-retention, and hiring laws. Unless expressly stated, NTE is not the employer, recruiter, staffing agency, or hiring decision-maker and does not guarantee applicants or hiring results.

User-Generated Content Disclaimer

The Platform may contain content submitted by businesses, tutors, students, vendors, affiliates, nonprofit organizations, community members, content creators, and other users.

Such content may include comments, reviews, ratings, blogs, articles, ebooks, courses, webinars, videos, images, social posts, discussion forum content, community content, testimonials, educational materials, advertisements, and other user-generated materials.

The Company does not endorse, verify, guarantee, warrant, or assume responsibility for the accuracy, legality, completeness, reliability, quality, safety, or appropriateness of user-generated content.

Opinions expressed by users are solely those of the respective authors and do not necessarily reflect the views, policies, recommendations, beliefs, or positions of New To Education.

NTE may monitor, review, format, label, restrict, archive, or remove user-generated content under reasonable safety, legal, quality, accuracy, technical, and Community standards. NTE is not required to pre-screen every submission.

Fees, Billing, and Payment Obligations

The Company may charge subscription fees, service fees, commission fees, advertising fees, promotional fees, marketplace fees, transaction fees, verification fees, premium account fees, featured listing fees, webinar fees, directory fees, networking fees, mobile application fees, or other fees associated with Platform services.

NTE may establish or prospectively change fees, prices, billing methods, subscriptions, commissions, and payment requirements upon reasonable notice. Prices and material recurring terms will be disclosed before purchase. Changes do not retroactively alter a completed transaction or earned undisputed amount.

The Business User agrees to timely pay all applicable fees and acknowledges that failure to satisfy financial obligations may result in account restrictions, suspension, removal of services, termination, collections activity, legal action, withholding of features, or other remedies available to the Company.

The Company does not guarantee the availability of any specific payment processor, banking provider, financial institution, payment method, currency, or transaction service.

Marketplace Sales and 60/40 Allocation

If a Business User sells approved services, bookings, courses, ebooks, software, music, educational materials, digital products, physical products, subscriptions, or other offerings through the Platform, the Business User is also a Seller.

Unless a separate written agreement or clearly displayed program term states otherwise, the Seller receives 60% of the applicable completed sale amount and NTE retains 40%.

The "applicable completed sale amount" is the amount eligible for allocation after successful payment and completion, subject to disclosed adjustments. Refunds, reversals, chargebacks, fraudulent transactions, taxes collected for remittance, payment-processing charges, app-store commissions, shipping adjustments, currency-conversion costs, legally required withholding, Seller-funded discounts, and other disclosed transaction costs may be deducted or allocated as stated at listing, checkout, or payout.

NTE's 40% portion compensates NTE for Platform access and operation, hosting, marketplace and payment administration, technology, customer support, moderation, and marketing opportunities. The split does not create employment, agency, partnership, or joint ownership.

Eligible payouts are generally processed monthly on or around the twenty-seventh (27th) day. This is a processing target, not guaranteed bank receipt. NTE may reasonably delay, reserve, offset, or withhold amounts for refunds, chargebacks, fraud, negative balances, legal requirements, disputes, incomplete verification, violations, or payment-provider restrictions. Undisputed eligible amounts will be released when the issue is resolved, subject to law.

Product, Service, and Consumer Compliance

Business Users are responsible for ensuring offerings are legal, safe, accurately described, properly licensed, delivered as promised, and compliant with applicable advertising, accessibility, consumer-protection, product-safety, warranty, subscription, tax, privacy, employment, and professional rules.

Physical-product Sellers are responsible for inventory, packaging, shipping disclosures, delivery, tracking, returns, recalls, customs, and required warnings. Digital products must be functional, in the advertised format, free from malware, and accompanied by material system, licensing, subscription, data-use, and third-party dependency disclosures.

Business Users must promptly disclose and address material defects, non-delivery, recalls, safety complaints, unlawful content, counterfeit concerns, and regulatory notices. NTE may issue or facilitate refunds as required by law or applicable transaction policies and may allocate losses based on responsibility.

No Guarantee of Revenue, Customers, or Business Opportunities

The Business User acknowledges that participation on the Platform does not guarantee customers, students, clients, bookings, enrollments, leads, sales, contracts, donations, sponsorships, partnerships, networking opportunities, advertising results, visibility, search rankings, website traffic, business growth, profitability, revenue generation, or any specific outcome.

The Company makes no representations, warranties, promises, forecasts, projections, guarantees, or assurances regarding business performance, customer acquisition, educational outcomes, financial success, marketplace exposure, marketing effectiveness, or commercial opportunities.

The Business User assumes all risks associated with operating an independent organization and acknowledges that business success depends upon numerous factors beyond the Company's control.

Monitoring, Audits, and Compliance Reviews

NTE may proportionately monitor, review, audit, investigate, and assess Business Accounts, content, authorized communications, transactions, listings, reviews, advertisements, fundraising, webinars, services, and products for quality, safety, fraud prevention, security, legal compliance, customer protection, and operational integrity, consistent with the Privacy Policy and applicable law.

The Company may conduct compliance reviews, quality assurance reviews, security reviews, verification procedures, fraud investigations, operational assessments, customer complaint investigations, legal reviews, and other evaluations deemed necessary to protect Platform users, maintain operational integrity, comply with legal obligations, and support business operations.

The Business User agrees to cooperate fully with such reviews and shall provide requested documentation, records, explanations, licenses, certifications, insurance documentation, compliance information, and other materials reasonably requested by the Company.

Suspension, Restriction, and Termination Rights

NTE may take proportionate action, including warnings, content or listing removal, feature limits, payout reserves, suspension, or termination, based on failed verification, nonpayment, material complaints, fraud, non-delivery, infringement, privacy or safety risks, legal requirements, security threats, inactivity, or material breach.

NTE may act immediately when reasonably necessary to protect a person, evidence, funds, systems, Users, or legal compliance. Where practical and safe, NTE may provide notice and an opportunity to respond or appeal.

Termination does not eliminate payment of undisputed eligible completed transactions, subject to refunds, chargebacks, taxes, offsets, and lawful holds. NTE is not liable for speculative future sales or opportunities.

Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, the Business User will defend and indemnify NTE and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, and affiliates from third-party claims, liabilities, damages, and reasonable costs arising from the Business User's unlawful conduct, material breach, negligence or willful misconduct, personnel, products or services, infringement, privacy violation, tax obligation, fundraising, product defect, false advertising, or material misrepresentation.

NTE will provide reasonable notice of a covered claim and allow reasonable participation in the defense. The Business User is not required to indemnify NTE for NTE's own unlawful conduct, gross negligence, or willful misconduct.

The obligations contained within this section shall survive termination of this Agreement indefinitely to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, New To Education, its owners, officers, directors, employees, contractors, affiliates, licensors, service providers, representatives, successors, assigns, and partners shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, exemplary, reputational, emotional, economic, speculative, or business damages arising from or relating to Platform use.

This limitation includes damages relating to lost profits, lost revenue, lost business opportunities, lost customers, lost students, lost donations, lost contracts, lost sponsorships, lost partnerships, lost data, service interruptions, software failures, technical problems, cybersecurity incidents, payment processor failures, customer disputes, regulatory investigations, or marketplace decisions.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, NTE's aggregate liability will not exceed the greater of the fees paid by the Business User to NTE during the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim or US $100. These limits do not apply where prohibited, including where applicable fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or legally nonwaivable liability.

Assumption of Ordinary Business Risk

The Business User assumes ordinary commercial risks of independent participation, including uncertain demand, competition, customer preferences, and third-party interruptions. This does not waive claims that cannot legally be waived or excuse NTE from express written obligations.

Force Majeure

The Company shall not be liable for delays, interruptions, failures, disruptions, suspensions, cancellations, performance issues, or inability to provide services resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control.

Such causes may include natural disasters, earthquakes, floods, fires, pandemics, epidemics, public health emergencies, governmental actions, sanctions, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, transportation disruptions, internet outages, utility failures, hosting failures, software failures, cyberattacks, ransomware incidents, payment processor disruptions, telecommunications failures, acts of God, or other unforeseen events.

The Company reserves the right to suspend, modify, postpone, restrict, discontinue, or otherwise adjust Platform operations during such events without liability.

Injunctive Relief

The Business User acknowledges that certain violations of this Agreement may cause irreparable harm to the Company for which monetary damages alone may be inadequate.

Accordingly, the Company shall be entitled to seek temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, permanent injunctions, equitable relief, specific performance, and other appropriate remedies without the requirement of posting bond or proving actual damages.

Such remedies may apply to intellectual property violations, confidentiality breaches, misuse of customer information, non-circumvention violations, unauthorized use of Platform systems, brand misuse, or other conduct threatening the Company's legitimate interests.

Arbitration and Dispute Resolution

The parties will first attempt good-faith informal resolution. A written notice must identify the claimant and account, relevant facts, requested relief, and contact information and be sent to the contact below with the subject Legal Dispute Notice. Either party may proceed after thirty (30) days if unresolved. This does not prevent urgent injunctive relief, agency reports, legally protected complaints, or eligible small-claims actions.

Except for eligible small claims, urgent injunctive relief, intellectual-property or confidentiality misuse, and claims that cannot legally be arbitrated, disputes will be resolved through binding individual arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act, administered by the American Arbitration Association under its applicable Commercial Arbitration Rules or another mutually agreed set of rules. Arbitration may occur remotely, by documents, or in a reasonably convenient location.

The arbitrator may award any individual remedy available in court. A Business User may opt out of arbitration within thirty (30) days after first accepting this Agreement by sending its legal name, account email, and a clear opt-out request to NTE.

Class Action Waiver

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Business User agrees that disputes shall be brought solely in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff, claimant, class representative, class member, participant, or beneficiary in any class action, collective action, representative action, consolidated proceeding, private attorney general action, or similar proceeding.

If the class waiver is unenforceable for a claim, that claim proceeds in court rather than class arbitration.

Governing Law and Exclusive Jurisdiction

This Agreement is governed by Georgia law and applicable federal law without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

Nonarbitrated disputes may be brought in state or federal courts with jurisdiction over Lawrenceville, Georgia, except where mandatory law requires another forum.

Survival of Obligations

Any provisions that by their nature should survive termination shall remain in full force and effect following suspension, expiration, restriction, deactivation, or termination of the Business Account.

Such provisions include, but are not limited to, confidentiality obligations, intellectual property provisions, indemnification obligations, limitation of liability provisions, arbitration provisions, governing law provisions, tax obligations, payment obligations, non-circumvention provisions, data protection obligations, cybersecurity obligations, and dispute resolution provisions.

Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be unlawful, invalid, unenforceable, or ineffective under applicable law, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect to the maximum extent permitted by law.

No Waiver

Failure by the Company to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any right, remedy, claim, policy, or future enforcement action.

Entire Agreement

This Agreement, together with applicable Privacy Policies, Platform Policies, Community Guidelines, operational procedures, payment policies, and future amendments, constitutes the complete and exclusive agreement between the Company and the Business User regarding Business Account participation.

Transaction-specific, seller, advertising, donation, or subscription terms control the applicable transaction, followed by this Agreement and Community Guidelines; the Privacy Policy controls descriptions of personal-information practices.

Account Closure and Reapplication

The Business User may request account closure after properly completing, refunding, transferring, or canceling outstanding orders, campaigns, events, bookings, and other obligations and resolving balances. Closure does not eliminate refunds, chargebacks, taxes, disputes, recalls, prior purchaser licenses, confidentiality, data-protection duties, or records lawfully retained.

A Business User seeking to return after closure or termination must submit a new application and complete all then-current verification, screening, and onboarding stages. Prior approval does not guarantee reapproval. App-store subscriptions may need to be canceled separately through the applicable store.

Modification of Agreement

NTE may revise this Agreement prospectively. Reasonable advance notice will be provided for material changes affecting compensation, dispute procedures, or substantive obligations, except where changes are required sooner for law, safety, or security.

Changes do not retroactively reduce earned compensation or alter completed transactions. Continued use after the stated effective date constitutes acceptance where permitted. A Business User that does not agree must stop initiating new activity and close its account after resolving existing obligations.
