The use of the Axiom Academic website is subject to the unconditional acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.

In case of disagreement with any provision of these Terms and Conditions, access to the Axiom Academic website will be denied.

Axiom Academic is an online platform with the objective of establishing contractual relationships between Teachers and Students, based on relevant criteria.

Axiom Academic allows the User to regularly track lessons and facilitates the communication of information necessary for the smooth running of the lessons.

Axiom Academic may provide certain support activities for the Courses, such as the provision of classrooms or educational materials (non-exhaustive list).

Axiom Academic also acts as a payment intermediary for the contractual relationship created through its platform between the Teacher and the Client.

Axiom Academic is not a party to the contract established between the Teacher and the Client.

The services offered on the Axiom Academic website may only be used for the proper administration of Courses.

Axiom Academic Members must create a profile to access the services. Users agree to create only one profile on the website.

Users are subject to a general obligation of good faith. The interpretation of these Terms and Conditions must be made in light of this obligation.

Users agree to provide only accurate information. Axiom Academic reserves the right to request certain certifications regarding the information provided.

Creating a User Account is mandatory for all Members.

This User Account can be modified and managed from the dashboard provided to Members.

Creating a User Account requires the following information:

• First and last name
• Age

• Preferred payment currency
• Subject and level taught
• Availability

• Description of experience and services offered
• Information about the duration of their stay in the teaching location

Axiom Academic reserves the right to assess the relevance of the Courses offered by the Teacher and may, at its discretion, accept or decline a Teacher’s membership application.

Axiom Academic cannot be held responsible for any incorrect information provided by the Teachers.

• Identity of the Student
• Student’s level
• Subjects sought

1. Use as a Teacher

Axiom Academic will analyze the data provided by the Teacher and compare it with course requests in order to draft an advertisement, determine the hourly rate, and propose the most suitable Clients.

Axiom Academic commits to using all available resources to submit the advertisement to the relevant Students.

Axiom Academic is not obliged to systematically propose the Teacher’s profile. The advertisement will only be presented to Student profiles that correspond to the Teacher’s profile, based on the criteria and information entered in the User Account.

Axiom Academic commits to proposing to the Students the Teacher’s profile that seems best suited to their needs.

Once the proposal is accepted by the Client, Axiom Academic will inform the Teacher by email. The Teacher will then be free to accept or decline. If certain points require clarification, Axiom Academic will provide an appropriate means of communication.

Once both parties (Teacher and Client) agree on the identity of the parties, the subject matter, the course level, the price, the location, and the date of the first lesson, a trial lesson will be organized.

It is following this trial lesson that the contractual relationship between the Teacher and the Client will be considered final.

The contractual relationship will be considered definitive by default, unless otherwise communicated to Axiom Academic via the means available on the platform. Either party may express their refusal.

Axiom Academic is not required to disclose the credit of hours ordered by the Student to the Teacher.

Once the first lesson has been given, the Teacher must validate, within 3 days, the lessons conducted during that period.

The Teacher will be paid by Axiom Academic the agreed amount, in the currency of their choice, once Axiom Academic has received confirmation that the lessons were completed. Lesson validation will take place in the Teacher’s personal space. The Client will then have a 3-day period to contest the validation. After this period, the lesson will be considered validated. The Teacher will receive payment for the lessons conducted during month N before the 6th of month N+1.

The Teacher will also be compensated for planned but not completed lessons if the cancellation is due to the Student, and the Student has not informed the Teacher at least 6 hours before the lesson starts. The Teacher must then inform Axiom Academic of this late cancellation.

The Teacher will have the means, in their User Account, to confirm the completion of lessons or report incidents (absence of the Student, etc.).

The data collected via the lesson tracking tools may be used by Axiom Academic to improve the Teacher selection process.

As a payment intermediary, all financial transactions will be handled by Axiom Academic. The Teacher agrees not to receive payments by other means for any current or future contractual relationship established through Axiom Academic.

The Teacher agrees to comply with the tax obligations in their country of primary residence regarding the amounts received via Axiom Academic (income declaration and other equivalent tax obligations).

2. Use as a Client

Axiom Academic will analyze the Student’s needs and propose the most suitable Teacher from its database.

Once a Teacher’s profile is selected, Axiom Academic will handle the introduction between the Teacher and the Client.

Once both parties (Teacher and Client) agree on the identity of the parties, the subject, the course level, the price, the location, and the date of the first lesson, a trial lesson will be organized.

It is following this trial lesson that the contractual relationship between the Teacher and the Client will be considered final.

However, the Client may terminate the contractual relationship at any time, provided they notify Axiom Academic within a 7-day period. If this deadline is not respected, any amounts corresponding to lessons that were scheduled to take place between the last completed lesson and the date of notification of the termination to Axiom Academic will be forfeited.

After the creation of the initial contractual relationship, the User Account can be recharged with course credits by the Client, in renewal of the original agreement. Any modifications to this agreement must be communicated to Axiom Academic as soon as possible.

The Client may purchase a specific number of course hours, which will be credited to their User Account.

Payment for courses will be made at the time of the order on the Axiom Academic website, and for each new order of course credits.

After each lesson, the Client will receive a notification. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform Axiom Academic, within a 3-day period, of any incident (absence, etc.) or change to the initial schedule.

The data collected may be used by Axiom Academic to optimize the selection of profiles.

The Client agrees to notify the Teacher and Axiom Academic in the event of a course cancellation at least 6 hours before the scheduled start, failing which the corresponding course credits will be forfeited.

Axiom Academic adjusts the course fees based on the Student’s needs, the Teacher’s skills, experience, certifications, as well as the geographic location of the course (non-exhaustive list).

In exchange for its services, Axiom Academic receives a percentage of the amount paid by the Client, hereinafter referred to as “service fees.”

When determining the service fees, Axiom Academic takes into account several factors, such as the rarity of the course offered and the geographic location of the course (non-exhaustive list).

The service fees may be adjusted based on discounts or promotional offers applied.

In cases where transactions involve two different currencies, any currency exchange fees will be borne by the Client, based on the rates in effect at the time of the transaction.

By submitting a request, Users automatically create an account on the site app.axiom-academic.com.

From the “Payments” page of their account, Users can pay for Lesson hours by credit card, in the currency of the country where the Lessons take place.

Each payment credits the User’s account, which will then be debited the corresponding amount each time a Lesson is validated by a Teacher.

Users must ensure that their account balance remains positive or zero. Email notifications will be sent if the account balance is insufficient to cover the next Lesson hour.

In the event of a negative balance, Axiom Academic reserves the right to charge the debt owed to the company directly from the User’s credit card. An email will be sent indicating the amount that will be debited, 3 days before the scheduled date. During these 3 days, the User will have the opportunity to manually credit their account.

By using the service, you authorize Axiom Academic to debit your credit card. You will be charged the amount indicated in the email sent by Axiom Academic 3 days before the billing date. A receipt for each payment will be provided, and the charges will appear on your credit card statement. You agree that no additional notification will be provided unless there is a change in the date or amount, in which case you will receive a notice from us at least 10 days before the payment is processed.

You understand that this authorization will remain in effect until it is canceled in writing. You agree to notify Axiom Academic in writing of any changes to your account information or termination of this authorization at least 15 days before the next billing date. If the indicated payment date falls on a weekend or public holiday, you understand that payments may be processed on the next business day.
