Welcome to Love Reading!
Love Reading is an initiative of Project Possible, a New York State Benefit Corporation ( hereafter referred to as “Love Reading,” “we,” “us,” “our”) provides its services (described below) to you through its website located at www.lovereading.org (the “Site”) and related services (collectively, such services, including any new features and applications, and the Site, the “Service(s)”), subject to the following Terms of Service (as amended from time to time, the “Terms of Service”).
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change or modify portions of these Terms of Service at any time. If we do this, we will post the changes on this page and will indicate at the top of this page the date these terms were last revised. Any such changes will become effective immediately after they are posted. Your continued use of the Service after the date any such changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Service.
When using certain aspects of the Services or using certain Services, you will be subject to any additional terms applicable to such services that may be posted on the Service from time to time, including, without limitation, our Code of Conduct. All such terms are hereby incorporated by reference into these Terms of Service.
The Services consist of an online marketplace and platform through which Teachers may offer Classes for sale to Parents, and Parents may purchase such Classes for the benefit of their children. While Love Reading strives to high standard of service, you acknowledge and agree that: (1) Love School is not a party to any agreements entered into between Teachers and Parents, (2) Love School only provides certain tools to facilitate the purchase, sale and provision of Classes, (3) Parents contract for classes directly with Teachers (4) Love Reading is not a broker, agent (except as expressly set forth below) or insurer, and (5) Love Reading disclaims all liability for the conduct of Teachers, Parents, or any other Users of the Site or Classes. Different sections of the Site and Terms of Service affect Teachers and Parents differently, so please be sure to read these Terms of Service carefully.
Key Terms
“User” “you” or “your” means a person, organization or entity using the Services, including Parents and Teachers.
“Parent(s)” means a parent or legal guardian who purchases Classes on the Site for the purpose of enrolling their child.
“Teacher(s)” means a person who completes Love Reading’s application process to sell Classes on the Site.
“Class(es)” means any online class(es) submitted by a Teacher for sale on the Site.
Access and Use of the Service
Services Description: Love Reading’s Service is an online marketplace for K-12 classes, designed for Parents to find and book Classes for the benefit of their child or children, and for Teachers to market, sell and conduct their Classes. As the provider of an online marketplace, Love Reading does not own, create, sell, resell, control, or manage any Classes. Love Reading’s responsibilities are limited to: (i) providing the Site as an online marketplace and platform to facilitate the sale, purchase, and conduct of Classes, and (ii) serving as the limited agent of each Teacher for the purpose of accepting payments from a Parent on behalf of the Teacher. There are risks that you assume when dealing with other Users (including those who may be acting under false pretenses). While Love Reading strives to provide a safe environment for its Users, you agree that all of these risks are ultimately borne by you, and not Love Reading. Love Reading does not control the behavior of Users or the quality of the Classes. As a result, Love Reading cannot guarantee the authenticity, quality, safety, legality, or appropriateness of the Classes.
Your Registration Obligations: You may be required to register with Love Reading in order to access and use certain features of the Service. If you choose to register for the Service, you agree to provide and maintain true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service’s registration form. Registration data and certain other information about you are governed by our Privacy Policy. You must be of legal age to form a binding contract to register for the Service. If you are not yet of legal age to form a binding contract, then you must get your Parent to read these Terms of Service and agree to them for you before you use the Service. If you are a Parent and you provide your consent to your child’s use of the Service, then you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service with respect of your child’s use of the Service.
Member Account, Password and Security: If passwords are issued by Love Reading, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account, if any, and are fully responsible for any and all activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to (a) immediately notify Love Reading of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session when accessing the Service. Love Reading will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section.
Modifications to Service: Love Reading reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice. You agree that Love Reading will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Service.
General Practices Regarding Use and Storage: You acknowledge that Love Reading may establish general practices and limits concerning use of the Service, including without limitation the maximum period of time that data or other content will be retained by the Service and the maximum storage space that will be allotted on Love Reading’s servers on your behalf. You agree that Love Reading has no responsibility or liability for the deletion or failure to store any data or other content maintained or uploaded by the Service. You acknowledge that Love Reading reserves the right to terminate accounts that are inactive for an extended period of time. You further acknowledge that Love Reading reserves the right to change these general practices and limits at any time, in its sole discretion, with or without notice.
Class Recordings: Classes that take place through Love Reading’s video chat platform may at our sole discretion be recorded by Love Reading (“Class Recordings”). Love Reading may use Class Recordings to provide and improve our Services, for customer support, and for compliance purposes. We will not use Class Recordings containing images of you (or your children) for any other purposes without your express written consent.
Certain Teacher Obligations
As a Teacher, you must provide Love Reading with any information requested in order for Love Reading to list your Classes through its Services including but not limited to a description of the Classes and the price for the Classes. Love Reading has sole discretion as to which Classes we list on the marketplace and we reserve the right to reject any Classes or remove Classes from the marketplace for any reason. Additionally, Love Reading has discretion to edit Class descriptions as needed to conform them to our marketplace standards. Love Reading has sole discretion as to which Teachers are accepted into the marketplace and we reserve the right to reject any potential Teacher and remove or suspend any Teacher from the marketplace for any reason. Love Reading may, but is not required to, conduct background checks on and interviews of Teachers in its discretion and solely for its own benefit. As a Teacher, you agree to provide written and/or electronic consent to such background checks and to participate truthfully in such interviews.
Each Teacher is solely responsible for obtaining all licenses and other permissions required to offer or provide any Classes and Love Reading assumes no responsibility for a Teacher’s failure to obtain such licenses or permissions or otherwise comply with any applicable laws, rules or regulations.
You understand and agree that Love Reading is not an insurer, agent or employer for you as a Teacher. If a Parent purchases any of your Classes, any agreement you enter into with such Parent is between you and the Parent, and Love Reading is not a party thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Love Reading is authorized to serve as your limited agent purely for the purpose of accepting payments from Parents on your behalf and transmitting such payments to you (minus our Fees). You acknowledge and agree that, as a Teacher, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions while using the Services.
Payment Terms
General: Each Parent agrees to pay all applicable fees for Classes (“Enrollment Fees”) as set forth on the Site. All Enrollment Fees are payable in the currency specified on the Site at the time of purchase. You shall be responsible for all taxes associated with the Services other than U.S. taxes based on Company’s net income. Parent hereby authorizes Love Reading to bill Parent’s payment instrument upon confirmation of a purchase, and Parent further agrees to pay any charges so incurred. If Parent disputes any charges you must let Love Reading know within sixty (60) days after the date that Love Reading charges you.
Teacher Payment: Love Reading will transfer the Enrollment Fees to Teacher’s Paypal or similar account for each sale of a Class (or set of Classes, as applicable) to a Parent within a reasonable period of time, minus Love Reading’s service fees (“Love Reading Fee”), according to the schedule and policies detailed in the applicable contract. Love Reading has discretion to act on behalf of the Parent, and to not transfer the Enrollment Fees to Teacher, if Parent reports that the Classes were not provided or adequately completed. This may include but is not limited to circumstances where a Teacher did not arrive for a Class or a Class was of insufficient quality. Love Reading will independently review such cases, seeking input from the Parent and/or the Teacher, and may decide at its sole discretion to issue a refund to the Parent. All determinations of Love Reading with respect to a refund shall be final and binding on the Parent and Teacher.
Limited Payment Collections Agent: Each Teacher appoints Love Reading as the Teacher’s limited payment collection agent solely for the purpose of accepting the Enrollment Fees from Parent. Each User agrees that payment of Enrollment Fees by a Parent to Love Reading, as that Teacher’s limited payment collection agent, shall be considered the same as a payment made directly by such Parent to the relevant Teacher and the Teacher will provide the relevant Classes to the Parent, as outlined on the Site, as if the Teacher had received payment directly. Love Reading, as limited payment collection agent for the Teacher, agrees to facilitate the payment of any Enrollment Fees (less the Love Reading Fee) for Classes pursuant to these Terms of Service unless otherwise agreed between Love Reading and the Teacher.

Dispute Resolution By Binding Arbitration: PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS
Agreement to Arbitrate: This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in this Terms of Service as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Love Reading, whether arising out of or relating to this Terms of Service (including any alleged breach thereof), the Services, any advertising, any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. You agree that, by entering into this Terms of Service, you and Love Reading are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief: YOU AND LOVE READING AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND LOVE READING AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S).
Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution: Love Reading is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at info@lovereading.org. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by electronic mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Love Reading and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Love Reading may commence an arbitration proceeding.
Termination
You agree that Love Reading, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or use of the Service and remove and discard any content within the Service, for any reason, including, without limitation, for lack of use or if Love Reading believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Service. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of your use of Service, may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. Love Reading may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Service under any provision of this Terms of Service may be effected without prior notice. Further, you agree that Love Reading will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Service.
