The policies that regulate the Behavior Code of the Freelancers are listed under the Tutoring Service policies section. Based upon a paid cooperation, the Tutors provide the Students with a Lesson Service as a primary service. Lesson Service is defined as a tutoring session or an educational service that a Student may receive from a ""Freelancer"" individual. The MentorSpace Company acts as a collaboration platform designed and developed in order to make the request of such services possible with an aim to collect and process the payments from Students and to ensure the financial security of both Students and Mentors involved.

Likewise, the Mentor is informed that a decision to provide a Lesson Service to a Student is made by the Mentor alone. The MentorSpace Company does not censor or check the contents of the Mentoring Services that are provided to the Student. The Student is responsible for verification of the appropriate quality of contents provided by the Mentors. Any disputes concerning the quality of the content provided by the Mentors can only be initiated due to confirmation of the insufficient quality of provided content and/or Lesson Services. The MentorSpace Company requires all the Mentors to provide accurate and timely personal and professional information. The MentorSpace Company undertakes all the feasible actions that would allow screening and verification of information about the Mentor, including academic credentials. The MentorSpace company cannot guarantee sufficiency of such screening or a verification process in case the information related to Tutor's skills and/or credentials are corrupt or counterfeit.

The MentorSpace Company cannot be held responsible for any kind of mental, physical or psychological damage caused to the Student or a Mentor during the interaction / Lesson Service session. In case there is evidence and suspicion that a certain interaction that took place between Student and the Mentor might be dangerous to any party, the party coming up with an assumption or the evidence should contact the authorities immediately.

Files / Data Exchange Between Users
