terms & conditions

TERMS & CONDITIONS

Drafted February 9th, 2018, revised August 28th, 2018.

These terms and conditions act as a contractual agreement (“Agreement”) between you and USMLE Pro Tutors (“USMLE Pro Tutors”, “USMLE Pro”, “us”, “we”, “our”), and applies to your use of http://www.usmlepro.com/ (“Site”) and to tutoring services provided through the Site. If you do not agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as detailed herein, please do not use or access the website. You represent that you are at least 18 years old and legally competent to enter into this agreement.

By agreeing to these Terms & Conditions, you expressly agree to mandatory arbitration to resolve any legal claims against us and waive your right to pursue a jury trial or participate in a class action lawsuit filed against us.

1. TUTORING SERVICES. You have the option, but not obligation, to purchase tutoring services (“Tutoring”) from us, with pricing detailed on the “Pricing” page of the Site on the following terms:

2. Services. Should you select to purchase individual hourly tutoring (“Hourly Tutoring”), we will provide you with the following tutoring services: a single one hour session of one-on-one tutoring with one of our tutors listed on the “Tutors” page of our Site, which may include topics you are having difficulty with supplemented with tutoring analyzing multiple-choice questions for the USMLE. Following this tutoring session, you may request additional Tutoring and we have the right, but not obligation, to provide additional sessions. Should you select to purchase a Tutoring Package, we agree to provide you with tutoring sessions for the listed duration of the package, with one of our tutors listed on the “Tutors” page. We are not obligated to provide you with sessions with any particular tutor. The parties agree the initial tutoring session and any subsequent sessions shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

3. Fees. The fees for Hourly Tutoring and Tutoring Packages are detailed on the Pricing page on the Site, which is incorporated herein. Should you wish to pursue additional Tutoring sessions, the fees for such sessions may be found on the Site Pricing page and are incorporated into this Agreement by reference. Tutoring with our founder Alyssa Ehrlich (“Founder”, “Alyssa Ehrlich”, “Alyssa” is subject to different pricing than that listed on the Pricing page of the Site, with the hourly rate to be agreed upon with the student prior to the initiation of lessons. Payment takes place through our booking app, Pocket Suite. Students are required to securely store credit card information on file with Pocket Suite in order to confirm a scheduled lesson. The student’s credit card will be charged after each lesson is completed, with notification via text message to the student (through Pocket Suite) that a charge has been made. For Tutoring Packages, payments will be made upfront, also via credit card through Pocket Suite.

4. Canceling. You may cancel Individual Tutoring sessions by giving twenty-four (24) hours notice of said cancellation prior to the next scheduled Individual Tutoring session. The cancellation may be for one session or all future sessions. Notice may be provided by sending a message of cancellation to the email accounts used by either party to schedule Individual Tutoring sessions. Notice shall be considered given when sent. Failure to provide twenty-four (24) hours notice for cancellation/changes to sessions will result in a penalty of the hours allocated for that session, to wit, you will lose such time and the entire associated lesson fee or package credit and will not be allowed to reschedule the hours. In turn, we agree to make all reasonable efforts to keep to the agreed upon times for Individual Tutoring sessions with you. However, you agree that we may reschedule tutoring sessions as needed without penalty given, but not limited to, the fact your tutor may have other obligations that arise on short notice. If we are required to reschedule at the last moment, we will provide you with notice and reschedule the Individual Tutoring session at a time convenient to both parties.

5. Refunds. You agree that a refund request will only be considered under extraordinary circumstances that prevent you from ever taking the USMLE or practicing medicine, such as significant illness or injury as documented by a medical professional. Any refunds provided will be under the sole discretion of USMLE Pro Tutors. You may request a refund of fees paid for Individual Tutoring sessions that have been canceled in compliance with Section 1C of this Agreement, to wit, no refunds will be given for cancellations made within twenty-four (24) hours of the scheduled Individual Tutoring session. If a refund is granted, the amount of the refund will be determined by multiplying the hours of Individual Tutoring sessions you have completed by the full hourly rate charged at the time of your order. The resulting figure shall then be subtracted from the total dollar amount you have on balance with us at the time of the refund request. If you received a discount at the time of your original order, that discount will be invalidated to calculate the refund amount. For tutoring packages, you may request a full refund up to twenty-four (24) hours of the time of purchase if no tutoring sessions have been provided. If tutoring sessions have been provided, you will be charged the rate for Hourly Tutoring listed on the Pricing page of our Site for the tutoring sessions that have been rendered, and may be provided a refund for the remaining hours of the Tutoring Package at our sole discretion.

6. No Guarantees. You understand and agree that we are providing no guarantee or warranty that Individual Tutoring or Tutoring Packages will provide a particular result including, but not limited to, the passage of all or part of the USMLE or improving your score for the exams. While our Individual Tutoring is designed to improve your performance, your scores and passage of the exams are dependent upon a number of factors outside of our control, including but not limited to, your understanding of the subject matter and test-taking ability.

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions, you agree to resolve any claim that you may have against USMLE Pro on an individual basis in arbitration, as outlined in this Arbitration Agreement section. This will preclude you from bringing any class, collective, or representative action against USMLE Pro, and also prevent you from participating in or recovering relief under any current or future class, collective, consolidated, or representative action brought against USMLE Pro by someone else.

A) Agreement to Binding Arbitration Between You and USMLE Pro. You and USMLE Pro agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to (i) these terms and conditions or the existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or (ii) your access to or use of the Site or tutoring services at any time will be settled by binding arbitration between you and USMLE Pro, and not in a court of law. You acknowledge and agree that you and USMLE Pro are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Unless both you and USMLE Pro otherwise agree in writing, any arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. However, you and USMLE Pro each retain the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.

B) Right To Opt-Out. We are providing you with the right to opt-out of this Arbitration Agreement by notifying us in writing within 30 days of purchasing tutoring services. To opt-out, just contact us at info@usmlepro.com using the phrase “opt-out of arbitration agreement” in the subject matter of the message, and your name and username in the body of the message.

C) Rules and Governing Law. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The parties agree that the arbitrator (“Arbitrator”), and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The Arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitration issues, including issues relating to whether this Agreement is unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration. Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in this Agreement, the parties agree and acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”), will govern its interpretation and enforcement and proceedings pursuant to it. It is the intent of the parties that the FAA and AAA Rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and AAA Rules are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this Arbitration Agreement or the enforcement thereof, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of the State of Massachusetts and the parties expressly agree the venue of any action shall be in civil court in Middlesex County, Massachusetts or the United States District Court, District of Massachusetts located in Boston, Massachusetts, as appropriate for the particular claims asserted.

D) Process. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration – Consumer Arbitration Rules at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879). We hereby consent to receive such notifications at info@usmlepro.com. The Arbitrator will be either (1) a retired judge or (2) an attorney specially licensed to practice law in the State of Massachusetts and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an Arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the Arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.

E) Location and Procedure. Unless you and USMLE Pro otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in Boston, Massachusetts. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and USMLE Pro submit to the Arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the Arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim does not exceed $20,000, then the arbitration will be conducted on the basis of documents you and USMLE Pro submit to the Arbitrator and each parties presence by phone or in person, unless you request a hearing or the Arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $20,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the Arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

F) The Arbitrator’s Decision. The Arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction to do so. The Arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only for the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. An Arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on all parties. An Arbitrator’s decision and judgment thereon shall have no precedential or collateral estoppel effect. The parties shall bear their own attorneys fees associated with the arbitration proceeding.

G) Fees. Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative, witness, and arbitrator fees will be solely as outlined in the AAA Rules.

H) Changes. If USMLE Pro changes this Arbitration Agreement after the date you first agreed to this Agreement (or to any subsequent changes), you may reject any such change by providing USMLE Pro written notice of such rejection within 30 days of the date such change became effective. This written notice must be provided in an email message sent to info@usmlepro.com. To be effective, the notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to reject changes to this Arbitration Agreement. By rejecting changes, you agree that you will arbitrate any dispute between you and USMLE Pro in accordance with the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first agreed to this Agreement (or to any subsequent changes to the Terms).

I) Severability and Survival. If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (1) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these terms and conditions; (2) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement; and (3) to the extent that any claims must, therefore, proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.

J) Should a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator rule this arbitration clause invalid, the parties agree this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Massachusetts, without reference to rules regarding conflicts of law. The parties further agree the choice of forum and venue for litigating any disputes shall be either the civil courts located in Middlesex County, Massachusetts or the United States District Court, District of Massachusetts located in Boston, Massachusetts, as appropriate for the claims asserted.

When you contact us, sign up for our newsletter, or purchase tutoring services on the Site, you consent to receive communications from us electronically through email or via text message.
