2. The Tutor further agrees that once a solution is submitted by him/ her on the Employer’s website, the same solution/ answer/ reply shall not be submitted by the Tutor on any other  website as that of the Employers’ and if submitted, such a submission shall be deemed to be a violation of the IPR of the Employer and suitable legal proceedings may be initiated by the Employer against the Tutor. 

3.

The Tutor may be required to clear any corresponding/ remaining doubts pertaining to the same query without any additional payment for the same. The Tutor shall be eligible for claiming any additional payment beyond what has already been paid by the Employer only in an event wherein a new query has been posed by the User and new information has been added to the already existing solution/ answer/ reply or an entirely new solution/ answer/ reply has been sought by the User. 

5. The Tutor further agrees that upon occurrence of Tutor Default, the Tutor shall be given warnings on the occurrence of first and second such defaults and the Tutor’s account shall be suspended from TutorBin.com on third such consecutive default.

9. The Tutor agrees that he/ she shall provide the original and unique solutions/ answers/ replies to the queries to the best of his knowledge. A sham reproduction of plagiarized work/ solution shall not be tolerated and shall attract penalty as provided under Clause 5 above. For the removal of doubts, it is hereby clarified that a query received on the Employer’s website may be the same or similar to a query received on another similar website hosted by a different website; the Tutor shall make sure that his solution is unique and is not copied/ plagiarised from any source. 

10. The Tutor further agrees that time is the essence of the Services hosted by the Employer and it is imperative that the Tutor is proficient in completing the assignment well within the stipulated time assigned for a particular query/ problem. To keep the quality of our Services unblemished and flawless, our process requires a quality check-step (“QC”) of the solutions/ answers/ replies before being sent to the User.. 

11. In an event that a query once posed by one User is also posed by another User or a query previously answered is being posed again, the Tutor is liable to inform the Employer of such repetitive query/ problem and flag the query as ‘duplicate’. Further, the Tutor who has previously solved a query shall be prohibited from answering that same query/ problem again. 

12. It is further agreed by the Tutor that if he/ she has knowledge or a reason to believe that a query/ problem being asked is a question from an ongoing examination (school, college or a competitive examination) at the time of the query being raised, he/ she shall refuse to answer/ reply to such a query/ problem. 

The Employer is committed to providing quality work to its Users and hence, any attempt by any Tutor to incapacitate or dilute the standards of quality upheld by the Employer shall be strictly dealt with which may result in taking suitable legal proceedings against the Tutor or suspending his account by the Employer, or both.
