By creating an account or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you may not use EduBid.

EduBid is an online technology marketplace that connects adult students with independent tutors. EduBid does not provide tutoring, educational instruction, coursework completion, grading, or academic services. EduBid provides the technology that allows students and tutors to connect, communicate, submit bids, process payments, and resolve disputes. All educational services offered through the Platform are provided solely by independent tutors.

Tutors are solely responsible for:

– Their qualifications

A student may submit a tutoring request describing the assistance they seek.

Independent tutors may submit bids stating:

Payment is due when a student accepts a tutor\\\’s bid. EduBid will hold funds until the tutoring session or agreed services have been completed or otherwise resolved under these Terms. EduBid may deduct platform fees before releasing payment. EduBid reserves the right to delay, withhold, or reverse payments when investigating fraud, abuse, policy violations, or disputes.

– Certifications

– Employment opportunities

– Academic success

Educational outcomes depend on numerous factors beyond EduBid\\\’s control, including student effort, instructor expectations, institutional policies, and assessment methods.

Reviews must be truthful and based upon actual experiences. EduBid may remove reviews that are abusive, fraudulent, misleading, defamatory, or otherwise violate these Terms.

Users retain ownership of the materials they upload. By uploading content, you grant EduBid a limited license to store, display, and transmit that content as necessary to operate the Platform. You represent that you have the legal right to upload all submitted materials.
