You understand and agree that Zuzu 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 Zuzu is not a party thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Zuzu 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. With the sole exception of students enrolled in the applicable Class, and/or their Parents, you further agree that you will not share any Class Recordings made available to you by Zuzu to any third parties.

Limited Payment Collections Agent: Each Teacher appoints Zuzu 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 Zuzu, 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 Platform, as if the Teacher had received payment directly. Zuzu, as limited payment collection agent for the Teacher, agrees to facilitate the payment of any Enrollment Fees (less the Zuzu Fee) for Classes pursuant to these Terms of Service unless otherwise agreed between Zuzu and the Teacher.
