Service Usage

Services description

Coral Academy’s Service is an online platform specifically designed for K-12 classes. It serves as a platform for Parents to discover and book classes for their children, as well as for Teachers to promote, sell, and conduct their classes. It's important to note that Coral Academy does not create, own, resell any of the classes available on the platform. Coral Academy acts as a facilitator, connecting Parents with Teachers and providing the necessary tools and infrastructure for the transaction to take place. By using Coral Academy’s Service, you acknowledge and agree that any risks associated with the use of the platform, including but not limited to the behavior of Users and the quality of the Classes, are solely your responsibility and not that of Coral Academy. Coral Academy does not have control over the actions or conduct of Users, nor can it guarantee the authenticity, quality, safety, legality, or appropriateness of the Classes offered. It's important for you to exercise caution, use your own judgment, and take appropriate measures when selecting and participating in Classes on the platform.

It's important to note that when engaging with other Users on the platform, including Teachers and Parents, there are inherent risks involved, such as the possibility of dealing with individuals who may be acting dishonestly or misrepresenting themselves. Coral Academy does not guarantee the accuracy or reliability of any information provided by the Teacher(s) during the verification process. We cannot confirm that each User is who they claim to be. By using our Services, you agree to assume all risks, including those related to any online or offline interactions with other Users.

Coral Academy’s responsibilities are limited to two main aspects: 

  1. providing the Website as an online platform for the sale, purchase, and conduct of Classes, and
  2. acting as a limited agent of each Teacher to accept payments from Parents on behalf of the Teacher.

Coral Academy does not assume any responsibility for a Teacher's failure to obtain such licenses or permissions or comply with relevant laws, rules, or regulations.
  • You acknowledge that Coral Academy does not act as an insurer, agent, or employer for you as a Teacher.

Learner Safety

‍Each Teacher is required to report any suspected cases of child abuse or neglect that they become aware of during their work with students at Coral Academy. Coral Academy defines "abuse or neglect" (in accordance with the Federal Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA)) as:

  • “any recent act or failure to act on the part of a parent or caretaker, which results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse or exploitation”; or
  • “an act or failure to act which presents an imminent risk of serious harm.”

Coral Academy expects all teachers to comply with their individual reporting responsibilities regarding suspected cases of child abuse or neglect to local authorities. Coral Academy also reserves the right to report instances of suspected child abuse or neglect to the appropriate authorities or organizations as deemed necessary.

Community Standards

‍By becoming a member of the Coral Academy community (colleagues, parents, children), you agree to adhere to the platform's policies, which include the community standards. As a member of the Coral Academy community, it is expected that you engage in thoughtful and professional communication with other community members. You are expected and encouraged to model appropriate behavior for learners and maintain a professional approach in all interactions with the community members.

Furthermore, you agree to use social media, blogs, and other online forums in a manner that is appropriate. Inappropriate behavior in any Coral Academy-affiliated online forums, includes but is not limited to:

  • Actions that are intended to provoke, bully, demean, cause harm to others, or create conflict. 
  • It also includes any posts or content that Coral Academy, at its discretion, deems to be detrimental to maintaining a respectful and inclusive community for all participants.
  • Engaging in online posting or speaking to the media on behalf of Coral Academy without obtaining prior written authorization from Coral Academy.
  • Posting derogatory, disparaging, or disrespectful comments about learners, teachers, parents, or Coral Academy staff, even if they are not identified by name.
  • Sharing any private material, communication, or information regarding parents of learners, including but not limited to students' or parents' names, photos, conversations, emails, student academic or performance information, screenshots of student work, or any other personal identifying information.
  • Making posts that Coral Academy, at its discretion, considers offensive or inappropriate based on race, sex, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, disability or medical condition, veteran status, or any other legally protected characteristic.
  • Making posts that may be harmful to Coral Academy’s business operations.
  • Sharing content that promotes hate speech, threats of violence, or endangers children. 
  • Violating any other aspect of Coral Academy’s community standards.

Payment Obligations

General

‍Every Parent agrees to make payment for all applicable fees associated with Classes, referred to as "Subscription Fees," as specified on the Website. You are responsible for all taxes related to the Services, excluding U.S. taxes based on the Company's net income. The Enrollment Fees must be paid in the currency indicated on the Website during the time of purchase. By making a purchase, the Parent authorizes Coral Academy to charge the Parent's chosen payment method upon purchase confirmation, and the Parent further agrees to pay the resulting charges incurred. If the Parent wishes to dispute any charges, they must notify Coral Academy within a period of sixty (60) days from the date when Coral Academy charged you.

Teacher payment‍

For each session delivered on the Platform, Teachers will receive a guaranteed minimum payment, applicable for a set number of learners. For every additional learner beyond that limit, Teachers will earn an additional payment per learner. Compensation is based on the number of learners attending the session, not just those enrolled. The total compensation for each session will have an upper limit agreed upon with the teacher.

The specific schedule and policies according to which these transfers will be done are discussed with every teacher. Coral Academy reserves the right to act on behalf of the parent and, if the parent reports that the Class(es) were not provided or completed satisfactorily as per the specified terms (including but not limited to situations when a teacher fails to attend a Class or when the quality of the Class is deemed insufficient), Coral Academy may choose not to transfer the compensation to the teacher. Coral Academy may choose to refund the Parent at its own discretion, after an independent review that includes input from the Parent and/or the Teacher. All refund decisions made by Coral Academy are final and conclusive and must be accepted by both the Parent and the Teacher.

Payment Facilitator‍

For the sole purpose of accepting Subscription Fees (in form of subscription/one-time) from Parents, each Teacher designates Coral Academy as their payment facilitator. Unless otherwise agreed upon between Coral Academy and the Teacher, Coral Academy, in its role as the ‘Teacher’s payment facilitator’, will facilitate the payment for Classes as outlined in these Terms of Service. In the event that Coral Academy fails to remit these amounts, the Teacher's sole recourse will be directed exclusively against Coral Academy.
