Additional Terms for Students
When you request a teacher with us, you automatically become a “student”. You agree to the following set of terms applicable to students:

  • You understand that you are responsible to acquire or transport necessary materials, setups, equipment, venue if applicable, for lessons, including but not limited to music instruments, teaching materials such as music scores and pedagogy books, applicable softwares and hardwares; for online lessons, including but not limited to an electronic device capable of processing online streaming, functioning camera and microphone capable of online streaming, access to apps or softwares, internet and bandwidth capable of handling online streaming. You are therefore advised to consult your music teacher if you are unsure of the requirements. Neither LWU nor your teacher will be responsible for the costs incurred to acquire or to transport any setup or equipment for lessons.
  • You understand that unless expressly stated by us, we are only an intermediary. Any teacher-student partnership or relationship is between you and the teacher you are taking lessons with, not you and LWU. Hence, you are liable to pay for the services of the teacher. Also, your music teacher may have additional terms or policies of their own, such as but not limited to cancellation of lessons, postponement of lessons. Let us know if you do not find your teacher’s additional policies suitable for you, and we will find a replacement teacher for you. There will be no additional charge to you for a replacement teacher. You also understand that every replacement teacher may have their own fees, teaching style, additional terms and policies. 

Additional Terms for Teachers
When you register to be a music educator with us, you automatically become a “teacher”. You are not considered an employee of LWU and will not receive supervision from LWU for your lessons. Therefore you shall assume full responsibility for all the content of your lessons and your own conduct. You are allowed to set additional terms or policies for your lessons, such as but not limited to cancellation of lessons, postmentment of lessons. You agree to inform us in prior writing of any implementation, modifications, redactions or enhancements of any terms or policies that you may have. Students must agree to your additional terms or policies, if any, before they are allowed to begin lessons with you.

You agree to the following set of terms applicable to our teachers:

  • You agree to honor all of your arrangements with LWU, including but not limited to payments and remuneration, accepting a particular number of students, and any other terms as agreed.
  • You agree to honor all of your arrangements with your student and to hold lessons at the price, time, and any other terms as agreed. If you wish to make changes to, or encounter any difficulties on your part to uphold any terms of the arrangement, be it temporary or permanent, you will communicate or renegotiate with the student as early as reasonably possible, and also to take any follow-up actions as required (such as but not limited to, conducting make-up lessons). You may contact us to look for a replacement teacher for a student, if you feel that you are not suitable for them.
  • You warrant that you are qualified to provide the lessons that you indicated in the teacher’s registration form, and agree to conduct yourself with professionalism and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.
  • You agree that your additional terms or policies will not contradict our terms of service. If there are any contradictions, our terms will take precedence.

You understand that:

  • You understand that you shall be solely and fully responsible for any and all injuries, illnesses, damages, claims, liabilities, losses and costs incurred by or are related to a student arising from any lessons with you.
  • You understand that your student(s) may review their experience(s) with you on any platforms, including but not limited to word of mouth, print media, digital media and social media. We have no control over the contents of their review and will not be held liable for any opinions and information that a student may include in their review.
  • You understand that it is your responsibility to possess the necessary materials, setups, equipment, venue if applicable, to conduct lessons, including but not limited to music instruments, teaching materials such as music scores and pedagogy books, applicable softwares and hardwares; for online lessons, including but not limited to an electronic device capable of processing online streaming, functioning camera and microphone capable of online streaming, access to apps or softwares, internet and bandwidth capable of handling online streaming. Unless expressed in prior written consent, LWU is not obligated to give any assistance or advice, nor is responsible for any costs incurred to acquire or to transport any materials, setups or equipment for your teaching. Generally, teachers charge students a transportation fee should they have to travel to another location for lessons, so you can take that into account when setting your lesson fee.
  • You understand that it is your responsibility to assist or give advice to your student to acquire materials, setups or equipment necessary for lessons, including but not limited to the items listed above. Unless expressed in prior written consent, LWU is not responsible for any costs incurred to acquire or transport any setup or equipment for any lessons. Therefore it is a good practice if you inform the student in advance the materials, setups or equipment that they will need to acquire in order to have lessons with you.
  • You understand that LWU reserves the right to bar you from using the service should you fail to uphold any of the terms, and if necessary take legal action against you.
