3. How the Service Works
We are an online marketplace for Students and a network of independent contractor Providers. We do not endorse, hire, or employ the Provider Members nor are we responsible or liable for any interactions involved between Provider Members and their respective Student Members or between Members. Provider Members and Student Members are solely responsible for all interactions, conversations, and any form of communication and behavior between any other Member. Our Services are separate and distinct from the services of Provider Members.
For Provider Members, we offer various hosted products to support instruction including marketing, scheduling, billing and communication tools. Provider Members can also apply to use our Services where prospective Students can review their profile, communicate with Provider Members and book and pay for lessons and other services ancillary thereto (called a "Listing").
For Student Members, we provide a marketplace to find a network of independent contractor Provider Members and may schedule lessons and other services ancillary thereto. We may also provide a platform for online group lessons or clinics for certain subjects. Users may be able to review Listings as an unregistered user of our Services; however, if you wish to book a lesson as a Student, to create a Listing as a Provider, to use hosted tools or use certain Services, you must first become a registered Member. See the applicable section of the App for more information.
From time to time, we may provide new or temporary Services, such as on demand tutoring, group lessons or classes or clinics and other products, materials and services that may or may not be limited to Members. We reserve the right to restrict any Services only to Members and discontinue any product or Services at will. If a particular Provider, product or Service is discontinued or unavailable, we reserve the right to provide substitute Provider, product or Service.
4. Membership
You may use some of our Services at no direct cost. However, in order to access additional features and Services, including the ability to book or manage lessons, you must become a registered Member. To become a Member, you agree to provide accurate, current and complete information during the registration process and to update such information to keep it accurate, current and complete throughout your use of the Services. A Member may not have more than one active PlayMore Account. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your PlayMore Account and your access to our Services for any reason.

As such, we do not endorse or control the Providers, the manner or method of service to you, exercise no control over your working relationship with the Provider Member and do not warrant your safety or the service of any Provider Member. We urge all users of our Services to be responsible and careful about their use of our Services, any transaction entered into as a result of our Services and interactions with Members.
d. General Disclaimer
