Educator Agreement

Status: DRAFT — not effective; pending legal review

Haddee Education, LLC | tutoring.haddee.com Effective Date: [Pending — set at publication]

1. What this Agreement is

This Educator Agreement ("Agreement") is between Haddee Education, LLC ("Haddee," "we," "us") and you, a Teacher (shown to Students as a "Coach") on the tutoring service. It applies in addition to the Haddee Tutoring Terms of Service ("ToS"), which you also accept. The ToS's provisions on arbitration (ToS §20), limitation of liability (ToS §17), governing law (ToS §23), intellectual property (ToS §13), and general provisions (ToS §24) apply to you and are not repeated here. Where this Agreement and the ToS conflict on a Teacher-specific matter, this Agreement controls. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meaning given in the ToS.

By clicking "I Agree" (or equivalent) at onboarding, you accept this Agreement; that action is your electronic signature.

2. Independent-contractor relationship

You are an independent contractor, not an employee, agent, partner, or joint venturer of Haddee.

• Haddee does not withhold taxes, pay employment taxes, provide benefits, or provide workers' compensation or unemployment insurance.
• You control how you deliver tutoring and when you make yourself available (using the Service's scheduling tools); you supply your own equipment and internet connection.
• You are not authorized to bind Haddee or act on its behalf.
• Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment relationship.

3. Eligibility and onboarding

To be a Teacher you must:

• be an adult (18+);
• be U.S.-based (required for payouts; see §6);
• be invited/approved by Haddee (Teachers are admitted by invitation; there is no open Teacher self-registration at launch);
• complete onboarding — accurate profile, bio, and photo; a valid video meeting link (e.g., Zoom or Google Meet); phone-number verification; and payout information (§6); and
• keep your information true, accurate, and current.

Your profile photo and bio are reviewed by Haddee before they appear publicly (ToS §13).

4. Background-check attestation

Because you will work with minors, you represent and warrant, and attest, that:

• you have no conviction, charge, or other history that would disqualify you from working with minors or that would make your provision of tutoring unsafe or unlawful;
• all information you provide to Haddee is true and complete; and
• you consent to Haddee conducting a background check on you now or at any time in the future.

At launch, Teachers are individually vetted by Haddee. Haddee will require verified background checks before opening Teacher self-registration, and may require a verified check from any Teacher at any time and condition your continued access on the result. A false attestation is grounds for immediate termination. ****

5. Conduct, safeguarding, and minors

Many Students are minors. You agree to:

• behave professionally and lawfully at all times;
• keep all interactions with Students on the Service — do not contact Students through personal channels or arrange to meet or communicate off-platform;
• not share personal contact information with Students or solicit them off-platform (see also §8, non-circumvention);
• comply with applicable child-safety and mandatory-reporter obligations; and
• report safety concerns to Haddee promptly.

Haddee may suspend you immediately if it has a safety concern, pending review. Your messages with Students may be monitored by Admins and are retained (ToS §6).

6. Pricing, pay, and payouts

• Haddee sets prices and pay. Haddee sets both the price Students pay for a Class and the Teacher pay rate for that Class. Your pay rate for a Session is locked at the time the Session is booked; later changes to a Class's rates do not change already-booked Sessions.
• You are paid per completed Session. Pay accrues for Sessions you deliver (and for Sessions a Student late-cancels without an approved refund — see §7).
• Payout method — Veem. Payouts are sent to your verified Veem payout email. You must provide and keep current a verified Veem email and a U.S. home mailing address. Payouts are currently handled off-platform/manually by Haddee staff (there is no automated/instant transfer).
• Payout schedule. Payouts are made monthly, on or around the 8th, for the prior month's completed Sessions, as a single payment. Earned amounts are computed in your local (home) time zone.
• Disputed Sessions are held, not clawed back. Pay for a Session that is under a no-show or cancellation review is withheld from payout until the matter is resolved. Because disputed pay is never released, Haddee does not claw back pay from Sessions already paid out.
• Rounding. Per-Session pay is rounded to the nearest whole cent (not down), in your favor.
• No guarantee of volume or income. Haddee does not guarantee any number of bookings or any level of earnings.

7. Cancellations, no-shows, and reliability

• Student cancellations follow ToS §8. If a Student cancels late (under 24 hours) and does not receive a refund (whether through an emergency review granted by Haddee — requested by the Student by email within 72 hours — or the automatic full refund for a cancellation made within 1 hour of creating the booking), you are paid for that Session as if it occurred.
• Teacher cancellations. If you cancel, the Student is refunded; repeated or last-minute Teacher cancellations affect your reliability standing and may lead to suspension.
• Teacher no-shows. If a Student reports that you did not attend, the matter is handled under ToS §8; if upheld (including if you do not respond in the policy window), the Student is refunded and you are not paid for that Session. Haddee's decisions on no-shows and cancellation disputes are binding.
• Pausing. You may pause new bookings; existing confirmed Sessions still occur.

8. Non-circumvention

To protect Students and the Service, during your time on the Service and for **** afterward, you agree not to:

• solicit, arrange, or accept payment for tutoring outside the Service from anyone you met through the Service;
• move a Student off-platform or share personal contact information to do so; or
• divert Service Students to a competing service.

Off-platform arrangements void the protections of the ToS and this Agreement and are grounds for termination.

9. Reviews

Students who complete a Session with you may post a public review (ToS §7). By providing tutoring, you consent to being reviewed. You agree:

• not to remove, or demand removal of, honest reviews — you may flag a review for Admin review on the limited grounds in ToS §7, and an Admin decides;
• not to retaliate against a Student for a review; and
• not to solicit, incentivize, or post fake reviews.

10. Text messages (SMS)

Text alerts to Teachers are optional and governed by the SMS Terms. If you opt in, message frequency varies, message and data rates may apply, and you can reply STOP to cancel or HELP for help. Phone-number verification is required at onboarding (used to confirm your number and, if you opt in, to send alerts).

11. Taxes

• You are solely responsible for your own taxes, including self-employment tax. Haddee does not withhold taxes.
• Haddee will issue a Form 1099-NEC to U.S. Teachers earning more than $600 in a calendar year, handled as part of its off-platform payout process.
• You agree to provide a completed Form W-9 on request. (Haddee collects and handles W-9 information off-platform; it is not entered or stored in the Service.)

12. Content, confidentiality, and data

• Your content. You grant Haddee the license in ToS §13 to use your profile photo, bio, and other content you submit, to operate and promote the Service. You retain ownership of your own lesson materials.
• Student information. You may access Student personal information only to provide tutoring, must keep it confidential, must not use it for any other purpose, and must handle minors' information with particular care and in line with Haddee's privacy obligations.

13. Suspension and termination

• Either party may end this relationship. You may stop by ceasing to accept bookings and contacting hello@haddee.com; Haddee may suspend or terminate your access for violation of this Agreement or the ToS, a safety concern, a failed/withdrawn attestation, or as otherwise permitted.
• Earned pay. On termination, pay you have already earned for completed Sessions is paid out on the normal monthly cycle, less any amounts under dispute.
• Pending Sessions. Confirmed future Sessions are handled under the cancellation policy (Students are refunded for Sessions that will not occur).
• Sections that by their nature should survive (e.g., §2 classification, §8 non-circumvention, §11 taxes, §14 indemnification) survive termination.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Haddee and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from any claims, losses, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: your tutoring services and conduct; your interactions with Students; your breach of this Agreement or the ToS; your tax obligations; or any claim that you were misclassified, to the extent permitted by law.

15. Relationship to the Terms of Service

This Agreement supplements the Terms of Service, which you also accept. The ToS governs your general use of the Service and includes the binding arbitration agreement and class-action waiver (ToS §20), the limitation of liability (ToS §17), governing law (California; ToS §23), and general provisions (ToS §24) — all of which apply to you. For Teacher-specific matters, this Agreement controls.
