It's important to note that Coral Academy does not create, own, sell, resell, manage, or control any of the classes available on the platform.

We highly prioritize the privacy of students, and our utilization of Class Recordings is strictly limited to the following:

In such cases, the organization may have access to the Class Recordings, and the access may not be restricted to a single individual instructor.

Payment Obligations  

General - Every Parent agrees to make payment for all applicable fees associated with Classes, referred to as "Enrollment Fees," as specified on our Pricing Page, located here. 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 Site 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 - Coral Academy will transfer the Enrollment Fees, minus Coral Academy's service fees (referred to as the "Coral Academy Fee"), to the Teacher's Stripe account (within a reasonable timeframe) for each sale of a Class or set of Classes to a parent. To ensure the transfer of funds to the Teacher's Stripe account, the Teacher is required to create a Stripe account. The specific schedule and policies according to which these transfers will be done can be found in your Written Agreement. Coral Academy reserves the right to act on behalf of the parent and, if the parent reports that the Classes 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 Enrollment Fees 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. You can learn more about our Refund Policy here.

Payment Facilitator - For the sole purpose of accepting Enrollment Fees 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 of any Enrollment Fees (minus the Coral Academy Fee) 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.

By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you and Coral Academy acknowledge that you are both waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Any rights and resolutions will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, rather than a judge or jury. Additionally, this Arbitration Agreement does not prevent you from reporting issues to federal, state, or local agencies. If permitted by law, such agencies can pursue relief against us on your behalf.

Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief - This following paragraph and the Arbitration Agreement as a whole are not intended to waive any non-waivable rights under the Private Attorneys General Act, California Labor Code Section 2698 et seq.

YOU AND CORAL ACADEMY BOTH AGREE THAT ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT AGAINST EACH OTHER MUST BE DONE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY ALLEGED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND CORAL ACADEMY AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR IS NOT PERMITTED TO CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN CLAIMS FROM MULTIPLE INDIVIDUALS OR PARTIES. FURTHERMORE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. MOREOVER, THE ARBITRATOR MAY ONLY GRANT RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING SUCH RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO ADDRESS THE INDIVIDUAL CLAIMS OF THAT PARTY.

Pre-Arbitration dispute resolution - At Coral Academy, we believe in prompt and satisfactory action when it comes to resolving any disputes. By reaching out to us at compliance@coralacademy.com, disputes can be resolved in an efficient manner. If such attempts to resolve the dispute are unsuccessful, the party intending to initiate arbitration must send a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice") to the other party by certified mail. The Notice to Coral Academy should be sent to Coral Learning Academy LLC at the following address: 16192 Coastal Highway, Lewes, Delaware 19958, USA ("Notice Address"). The Notice must include: (i) a description of the claim or dispute's nature and basis, and (ii) a clear statement of the specific relief sought. If Coral Academy and you fail to resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the receipt of the Notice, either you or Coral Academy may initiate an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration process, any settlement offer’s amount (made by Coral Academy or you) shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which either you or Coral Academy is entitled.

Arbitration Procedures - Arbitration proceedings will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, collectively known as the "AAA Rules," as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitrator is required to adhere to the provisions of these Terms of Service, just as a court would. In the event of any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the terms of this Arbitration Agreement will prevail, unless the arbitrator determines that applying the inconsistent terms of the Arbitration Agreement would not lead to a fundamental fair arbitration. The arbitrator is responsible for deciding all matters, including but not limited to, issues pertaining to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Decisions made by the arbitrator are legally binding and can be enforced in court. A court can only overturn such decisions under very limited circumstances. While arbitration proceedings are typically more straightforward and streamlined compared to trials and other court proceedings, the arbitrator has the authority to grant the same damages and relief on an individual basis, as a court can provide to an individual under the Terms of Service and applicable laws.

Unless otherwise agreed upon by Coral Academy and you, arbitration hearings will be conducted in a location that is reasonably convenient for both parties, taking into account factors such as travel feasibility and other relevant circumstances. In the event, the parties are unable to agree on a location, the American Arbitration Association (AAA) will make the determination. Irrespective of how the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator is required to provide a reasoned written decision that sufficiently explains the essential findings and conclusions forming the basis of the award.

  • If your claim is for $10,000 or less - Coral Academy agrees to your choice of conducting the arbitration either solely based on the submitted documents to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or through an in-person hearing as determined by the AAA Rules.
  • If your claim exceeds $10,000 - The entitlement to a hearing will be determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the AAA (American Arbitration Association).

 For more information about the American Arbitration Association (AAA), please visit their website at https://www.adr.org/ you can find details about the AAA Rules and fees applicable to consumer disputes on the AAA's consumer arbitration page at https://www.adr.org/consumer 

Costs of Arbitration - The payment of all fees associated with filing, administration, and the arbitrator (referred to as "Arbitration Fees") will be subject to the AAA Rules. The payment of attorney's fees will be in accordance with the AAA Rules.

Confidentiality - For the benefit of all parties involved, all aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including any rulings, decisions, or awards made by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential.

Severability - 

  • If a court or the arbitrator determines that any of the provisions in subsection (b) titled "Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief" are invalid or unenforceable - the entire Arbitration Agreement shall be deemed null and void.
  • If a court or the arbitrator determines that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement, except for the subsection (b) titled "Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief" above, is invalid or unenforceable - the parties agree to substitute such term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that most closely reflects the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision. In such a case, this Arbitration Agreement will remain enforceable as modified.

The rest of the Terms of Service will continue to apply.

Modifications to Arbitration Agreement - Despite any provision in this Terms of Service that states otherwise, Coral Academy acknowledges that if it makes any modifications to this Arbitration Agreement (excluding changes to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Services, you have the option to reject such changes by sending a written notice to Coral Academy within thirty (30) calendar days of the modification to the Notice Address mentioned above. In the case of such rejection, you are confirming your agreement to resolve any disputes between us through arbitration as outlined in this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you initially accepted these Terms of Service (or accepted any subsequent modifications to these Terms of Service).
