The regular fee for services is
$8/session, with an additional bonus potential detailed in this contract under 4.10.
The Independent Contractor is eligible for compensation for the following Services:
- Demo sessions: Demo sessions are assigned by the Partner, or customers on the Partner’s platform (“Students”) can sign up for them based on the Independent Contractor’s profile. Demo sessions last approximately 30 minutes, and Students can decide after the session whether they want to study with the Independent Contractor. In the case of successful demo sessions (i.e., the Student subscribes for more sessions), the Independent Contractor is eligible for the regular fee. If the Student is not satisfied with the Independent Contractor and does not subscribe for more sessions, the Independent Contractor is not eligible for any compensation for the session.
- Regular sessions: Regular sessions are 50 minutes long, and the Independent Contractor is eligible for the regular fee for each session.
- Student no-shows: If a Student does not show up for the session, the Independent Contractor is eligible for 60% of the regular fee under the condition of waiting for 10 minutes in the call for the Student to show up and indicating the no-show to the Partner.
The Independent Contractor faces a deduction in case of an Independent Contractor no-show: If the Independent Contractor is more than 5 minutes late for the session or does not show up at all and does not notify the Partner or the Student at least 1 day before the session (or 1 hour in case of emergency), the Independent Contractor faces a deduction of $26.
