This functionality includes but is not limited to direct interaction (instant messaging), file sharing (upload and download), encryption (SSL), and document collaboration. GeeklyHub does not act as a provider of Lesson services. GeeklyHubdoes not act on behalf and is not a legal, financial or other type of representative of any User (Student or Tutor). Tutors are independent contractors and they are not employees or representatives of GeeklyHub.

Interaction between students and tutors

GeeklyHub does not bear any responsibility for decisions made regarding the provision of Lesson Services by either students or tutors. GeeklyHub informs the student that this type of decision is solely her responsibility; similarly, GeeklyHub informs the tutor that a decision to provide a service to a student is made by the tutor alone. GeeklyHub does not censor or check content of Lesson Services provided to the student. Students are responsible for verifying appropriate quality of content provided by tutors; disputes regarding quality of content provided by tutors may only be initiated based upon confirmation of insufficient quality of such content and / or Lesson Services.GeeklyHub requires all tutors to provide accurate and timely updated information about themselves.GeeklyHub undertakes all feasible actions that would allow to screen and verify information about the tutor as well as her academic credentials; however, GeeklyHub does not guarantee completeness of such screening or verification should the information obtained about tutor’s skills or credentials be somehow corrupt or counterfeit.

GeeklyHub is not responsible for any mental, physical or psychological damage done to the Student or the Tutor during their interaction. Should there be a strong belief that a certain interaction between the Student or the Tutor might be dangerous to any party, the party holding such beliefs should contact the authorities immediately.

Collaboration between Students and Tutors may include exchange of files. GeeklyHub should not be held liable and does not bear any responsibility for the content, accuracy, legality and safety of these files. Users assume full responsibility and risk for downloading and opening these files.
