1. Use as teacher

AXIOM analyses data provided by the teacher and compares it to the educational course demands, places an advertisement, sets payment per hour and offers suitable clients.

AXIOM must use all possible means to select suitable students.

AXIOM does not agree to offer the teacher's profile. The ad must be made for suitable student profiles only, depending on the criteria and information in the personal account.

AXIOM agrees to offer students the profile of the most suitable teacher, according to the company, to satisfy all the student's demands.

After receiving client confirmation that the offer was accepted, AXIOM sends a notification (by email) to the teacher. The teacher has the right to accept or to refuse. If the situation requires the clarification of certain issues, AXIOM provides appropriate means of communication.

Once agreed upon in principle (on a specific teacher and student who are going to sign a contract, on discipline, level, payment, and the place and date of the first lesson) there will be a trial lesson.

According to the results of the trial lesson, the contractual relationship will move to the status of contractual obligation.

The contractual relationship between teacher and student is a mandatory default, if through means of communication via the AXIOM platform information is not provided indicating to the contrary. Both sides can stop this contractual relationship.

AXIOM does not agree to inform the teacher about the number of lessons which were ordered by the student.

From the first lesson, the teacher must validate lessons in the system up to three days after each lesson.

AXIOM pays the teacher the amount in the currency specified by him when filling in the profile after AXIOM gets confirmation of the lesson. Lesson validation is provided in the teacher's personal account. Client will have 3 days to add objections after validation. After this period the lesson is considered validated. The teacher receives payment for lessons held in one month no later than the sixth day of the next month.

The teacher gets payment for planned but (not implemented) lessons if the student doesn't cancel at least 6 hours before the lesson. The teacher must inform AXIOM about cancelled lessons for the reason given by the student and there is no cancellation in terms designated for this purpose.

In his personal account the teacher adds the confirmed lesson or notes the cancelled lesson (student's absent).

Data obtained through these tools to control the lessons can be used by AXIOM in offer selection according to the teacher's profile.

The AXIOM company is engaged in the transfer of all funds, as it acts as an intermediary payment service. The teacher agrees not to get payment by any other means in terms of these contractual relationships or in future relationship where AXIOM acts as intermediary.

The teacher agrees to perform his financial obligations in relation to funds obtained through the mediation of AXIOM in the country of residence (income statement or equivalent).

2. Use as client

AXIOM analyzes student's demands and offers the appropriate teacher from the data.

After the selection of a teacher's profile, AXIOM initiates a relationship between teacher and client.

Once agreed upon, the agreement in principle (on a specific teacher and student who are going to sign a contract, on discipline, level, payment, and place and date of the first lesson) will lead to a trial lesson.

According to the results of the trial lesson, the contractual relationship moves to the status of contractual obligation.

The client has a right to terminate the contract at any moment. He must notify the AXIOM company in writing 7 days before the expected date of termination to avoid losing payment for lessons which must be held during the period from the last actual lesson to the moment when the AXIOM company receives the information about the termination of an agreement.

From the first moment of conclusion of a contract and at any time thereafter, you can re-download the number of hours of lessons in a personal account to extend the validity of the initial contract. You should inform AXIOM in detail about all changes made to the initial contract.

The client can order the number of hours that were already paid in his personal account.

Payment for lessons is made from the moment of order on the AXIOM site and with each new order, which should be paid into a personal account.

The client gets notification after each lesson. The client agrees to warn AXIOM within three days about his absence (or other reasons for failure to appear) or any changes to the initial program.

AXIOM can use these data for optimizing selection of profiles.

The client must warn his teacher and AXIOM in case of cancellation of the lesson at least 6 hours before the start of the lesson to avoid losing money paid into a personal account.
IV. Prices (tariffs) and payments
AXIOM applies tariffs and fees depending on a student's demands, a teacher's professional level, experience, certificates, region, place and various other factors.

In return for their services, AXIOM takes a percentage of the amount paid to a client (hereinafter, "service charge").

AXIOM's service charge is a percentage of the amount paid. The teacher knows this percentage.

The amount of the service charge depends on different factors: the uniqueness of the proposed course, region, etc.

To service charges, discounts and promotional offers can be applied.

In the case of two types of currency, a client bears the costs for commission for currency exchange taken at the time of transaction.
V. Means of payment, balance and use of the balance
By making a request, users automatically create an account on the site app.axiom-academic.com

From the "payments" page of their account, users can pay for lesson hours by credit card in the currency of the country where the lessons take place.

Each payment will credit the user's account which will then be debited with the corresponding amount each time a teacher validates a lesson.

Users must ensure that their account balance remains positive or zero. Notifications are sent by email if the amount of the balance is insufficient to cover the next lesson hour.

In the event that the balance is negative, Axiom Academic reserves the right to debit the amount of debt owed to the company from the user's bank card. You will receive an email indicating the amount that will be debited from your bank card 3 days before the debit date. During these 3 days you can credit your account yourself.

You authorize charges to your credit card. You will be charged the amount indicated in Axiom Academic email, sent 3 day before the billing date. A receipt for each payment will be provided to you and the charge will appear on your credit card statement. You agree that no prior-notification will be provided unless the date or amount changes, in which case you will receive notice from us at least 10 days prior to the payment being collected.

I understand that this authorization will remain in effect until I cancel it in writing, and I agree to notify Axiom Academic in writing of any changes in my account information or termination of this authorization at least 15 days prior to the next billing date. If the above noted payment dates fall on a weekend or holiday, I understand that the payments may be executed on the next business day.
