Kodris allows certain representatives of schools, such as teachers, administrators, counselors, and other educators (an “Educator”) to connect with their students through the Services in order to provide tutorial, educational and similar services.

If you are an Educator and you register an account for a student who is under the age of 16 (a “Child”), you represent and warrant that you or the educational organization you work for has proper permission to register the Child for Kodris, and that you have obtained the necessary parental consent for Kodris’s collection of the Child’s personal information for the use and benefit of the school and for no other commercial purpose.

SOME STATES OR OTHER JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

If there’s a dispute, our Support Team is happy to help resolve the issue. If that doesn’t work and you live in the Turkey, your options are to go to small claims court or bring a claim in binding arbitration; you may not bring that claim in another court or participate in a non-individual class action claim against us.

This Dispute Resolution section applies only if you live in Turkey. Most disputes can be resolved, so before bringing a formal legal case, please first try contacting our Support Team.

SMALL CLAIMS

Either of us can bring a claim in small claims court in (a) Istanbul, Turkey, (b) the county where you live, or (c) another place we both agree on, as long as it qualifies to be brought in that court.

GOING TO ARBITRATION

If we can’t resolve our dispute amicably, you and Kodris agree to resolve any claims related to these Terms (or our other legal terms) through final and binding arbitration, regardless of the type of claim or legal theory. If one of us brings a claim in court that should be arbitrated and the other party refuses to arbitrate it, the other party can ask a court to force us both to go to arbitration (compel arbitration). Either of us can also ask a court to halt a court proceeding while an arbitration proceeding is ongoing.

THE ARBITRATION PROCESS

Any disputes that involve a claim of less than 10.000 USD must be resolved exclusively through binding non-appearance-based arbitration. A party electing arbitration must initiate proceedings by filing an arbitration demand with the Istanbul Arbitration Center (ISTAC). The arbitration proceedings shall be governed by the ISTAC Commercial Arbitration Rules, Consumer Due Process Protocol, and Supplementary Procedures for Resolution of Consumer-Related Disputes. You and we agree that the following rules will apply to the proceedings: (a) the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online, or based solely on written submissions (at the choice of the party seeking relief); (b) the arbitration must not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses (unless we and you agree otherwise); and (c) any judgment on the arbitrator’s rendered award may be entered in any court with competent jurisdiction. Disputes that involve a claim of more than 10.000 USD must be resolved per the ISTAC rules about whether the arbitration hearing has to be in-person.

NO CLASS ACTIONS

We both agree that we can each only bring claims against the other on an individual basis. This means: (a) neither of us can bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class action, consolidated action, or representative action; (b) an arbitrator can’t combine multiple people’s claims into a single case (or preside over any consolidated, class, or representative action); and (c) an arbitrator’s decision or award in one person’s case can only impact that user, not other users, and can’t be used to decide other users’ disputes. If a court decides that this “No class actions” clause isn’t enforceable or valid, then this “Dispute Resolution” section will be null and void, but the rest of the Terms will still apply.

CHANGES

Notwithstanding the “Updating these Terms” section below, if Kodris changes this “Dispute Resolution” section after the date you last indicated acceptance to these Terms, you may reject any such change by providing Kodris written notice of such rejection by mail or hand delivery to: KIZILIRMAK MAH/SEMT DUMLUPINAR BLV. PASIFIK GAYRIMENKUL NO: 3 C-1 IC KAPI NO: 160 CANKAYA/ ANKARA, or by email from the email address associated with your Account to: arbitration@kodris.com, within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated by the “last updated on” language above. To be effective, the notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to reject changes to this “Dispute Resolution” section. By rejecting changes, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between you and Kodris in accordance with the provisions of this “Dispute Resolution” section as of the date you last indicated acceptance to these Terms.

UPDATING THESE TERMS

From time to time, we may update these Terms to clarify our practices or to reflect new or different practices (such as when we add new features), and Kodris reserves the right in its sole discretion to modify and/or make changes to these Terms at any time. If we make any material change, we will notify you using prominent means such as by email notice sent to the email address specified in your account or by posting a notice through our Services. Modifications will become effective on the day they are posted unless stated otherwise.

Your continued use of our Services after changes become effective shall mean that you accept those changes. Any revised Terms shall supersede all previous Terms.
