• he or she is more than fifteen (15) minutes late to a lesson that is scheduled to start, unless he or she has contacted the Tutor up to fifteen (15) minutes after the scheduled lesson start time to alert of a further delay.

For any refunds, Students shall send a refund request in writing to info@wordyaffairs.com within 21 days from date the order is placed/paid failing to which Students will not be entitled for any refunds whatsoever.

The package will be considered fully used after 21 days and the student will not receive a refund for the proportionate part of unused lessons after the three-month mark.

Students shall have 30 days by which to schedule and take a single lesson purchase.  Students shall have 90 days to schedule and take multi-lesson packages.  In both instances, students will not have these lessons available to them after the 30 and 90 day expiries respectively, and will not receive a refund for any portion or remaining lessons unused.

You acknowledge and accept that any media, material, or other data you download or otherwise get through the use of the platform is done at your own risk and initiative, and that you alone are responsible for any resulting computer system harm or data loss.

Limitations on implied warranties and the exclusion or restriction of certain damages are prohibited by the laws of some states or nations. Some or all of the aforementioned exclusions, limitations, or disclaimers may not apply to you if these laws apply to you, and you may also be entitled to other rights.

Limitation of Liability

Under no circumstances, including, but not limited to, negligence, shall Wordy Affairs or its affiliates, contractors, employees, agents, or third party partners, licensors or suppliers, be liable to you for any special, indirect, incidental, consequential, or exemplary damages that result from your use of or the inability to use the Wordy Affairs materials on the platform or the platform itself, or any other interactions with Wordy Affairs, even if Wordy Affairs or a Wordy Affairs authorized representative has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. In such cases, Wordy Affairs’s liability will be limited to the extent permitted by law.

In no event shall Wordy Affairs’s or its affiliates, contractors, employees, agents, or third party partners or suppliers’ total liability to you for all damages, losses, and causes of action arising out of or relating to these terms or your use of the platform (whether in contract, tort, warranty, or otherwise) exceed the greater of:

(a) the total amounts you have paid to wordy affairs (or are payable to you by wordy affairs) hereunder during the six (6) months preceding the date of the claim and

(b) One Hundred (100) US Dollars.

These restrictions also apply to any losses you sustain as a result of purchasing or receiving from non-wordy affairs third parties any goods or services you obtained through the platform, any advertisements thereon, or any connections the platform may provide.

Indemnification

Your use or misuse of the Platform, any infringement on the rights of another person or entity, or any violation of this Agreement will result in you being held liable for any claims, losses, damages, or liabilities, including attorney’s fees, which you agree to defend Wordy Affairs, its affiliated companies, suppliers, licensors, and partners against.

Tutor shall further be solely liable for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Wordy Affairs and its successors and assigns from and against any claim or liability of any kind (including penalties, fees or charges) resulting from Tutor’s failure to pay the taxes, penalties, and payments due under this Agreement, including the Tutor Addendum. Tutor shall further indemnify, defend and hold harmless Wordy Affairs and its successors and assigns from and against any and all loss or damage resulting from any misrepresentation, or any non-fulfillment of any representation, responsibility, covenant or agreement on his part, as well as any and all acts, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments, penalties, judgments of or against Wordy Affairs relating to or arising out of the activities of Tutor and Tutor shall pay reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incident thereto.

Wordy Affairs reserves the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us and you agree to cooperate with our defense of these claims.

ARBITRATION & GOVERNING LAW

This arbitration agreement is governed by the DIFC Courts and applies to any and all claims or controversies, past, present or future, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, this arbitration agreement, or any access or use of the Platform, including without limitation, Tutor’s independent contractor classification, Tutor’s provision of services, Student’s receipt of services, any payments made to Tutor through the Platform or arising out of or relating to the acceptance or performance of services arranged through the Platform, the termination of this Agreement, claims of harassment, retaliation, or discrimination and all other aspects of a Student’s or Tutor’s relationship (or the termination of its relationship) with Wordy Affairs, whether arising under federal, state or local statutory and/or common law. You and Wordy Affairs agree that the mutual obligations contained in this Agreement and to arbitrate disputes provide adequate consideration for this arbitration agreement.

You and Wordy Affairs mutually agree to resolve any and all covered justiciable issues between you exclusively through final and binding arbitration rather than a court or jury trial, subject to limitations and prohibitions under applicable law. Unless otherwise specified in this Arbitration section, this arbitration agreement calls for the arbitration of any claims that Wordy Affairs or you may have against one another or any of their:

• officers, directors, employees, subcontractors, or agents in their capacity as such or otherwise,
• direct or indirect parents and subsidiaries, and
• affiliates, agents, successors or assigns,

each and all of which may enforce this arbitration agreement as direct or third-party beneficiaries.
