This Agreement is between you (the tutor) and Bolchaall. It applies in addition to the
Terms of Service. Read clause 1 carefully — it defines the whole
relationship.
1. You are an independent contractor, not an employee
You are an independent, self-employed contractor. You are not an employee, worker, partner
or agent of Bolchaall, and nothing in this Agreement creates an employment relationship.
This means, specifically:
- You are not entitled to a salary or wage, provident fund (EPF), ESI, gratuity,
bonus, paid leave, sick pay, notice pay, retrenchment compensation, or any other employment
benefit.
- You are responsible for your own taxes, including income tax and GST where it
applies to you, and for your own registrations, returns and records. Bolchaall will deduct tax at
source only where the law requires it, and will give you the certificate for it.
- You decide when and whether you work. You set your own availability and you may
decline any booking.
- You are free to teach elsewhere, including on competing platforms and privately,
subject only to clause 7 below.
- You provide your own equipment and internet connection.
Bolchaall does not guarantee you any minimum number of bookings, hours, students or income.
2. Getting approved
Before you can teach you must complete verification, which may include identity documents,
qualifications, a short interview and a review of your profile. Bolchaall decides who is approved and may
decline or reverse approval. Everything you submit must be genuine; a forged document ends the
relationship immediately.
3. Your fee and how you are paid
- The student pays Bolchaall. Bolchaall deducts its platform commission and credits the balance to your tutor
wallet. The current commission rate is shown in your dashboard.
- Earnings for a class are credited only after the class is confirmed complete, and
may be held for a short release period so that disputes, refunds and chargebacks can be settled
first.
- You may withdraw from your wallet once the balance is at or above the minimum payout amount shown
in your dashboard. Payouts go to the bank account you have verified with us.
- If a student's payment is later refunded or reversed — including by a card chargeback —
the matching amount is debited back from your wallet.
- Bolchaall may change its commission, payout schedule or minimum payout with reasonable notice. Changes
do not apply to classes already taught.
4. Turning up
- Be online and ready at the scheduled start time.
- If you must cancel, do it as early as possible through the platform so the student can rebook.
- Repeated late arrivals, cancellations or no-shows may cost you the fee for that
class, reduce your ranking in listings, or end this Agreement. A no-show with no notice may be
compensated to the student from your wallet.
5. Student privacy — a firm rule
You will not be given, and must never ask for, a student's email address, phone number or
other personal contact details. All contact runs through the platform. This protects the
student and it protects you. Asking a student for their contact details is treated as a breach of
clause 7.
6. Conduct and safeguarding
You must behave professionally at all times, keep every class free of harassment, discrimination and
sexual content, and never record a class without the written consent of everyone in it. Where you teach
a learner under 18, you must keep the guardian's arrangements and report any safeguarding concern to
support@bolchaall.com at once.
7. No going around the platform
While this Agreement is in force and for 12 months after it ends, you agree not to
solicit, accept or continue paid tuition outside Bolchaall with any student you first met through Bolchaall, and
not to exchange contact details or payment details with them for that purpose.
This is how the platform stays viable — Bolchaall paid to find, verify and support that student. If
you breach this clause, Bolchaall may close your account, withhold unreleased earnings, and recover the
commission it would have earned.
8. Material and content
- Platform material stays the property of Bolchaall. You may use it to teach on Bolchaall and nowhere else.
- Material you create yourself stays yours. By uploading it you give Bolchaall a non-exclusive,
royalty-free licence to store it, show it in your classes, and display it to your students.
- Never upload material you do not have the right to use. You are responsible for what you upload.
9. Ending the relationship
- Either side may end this Agreement at any time. Please give reasonable notice and honour classes
already booked.
- Bolchaall may suspend or end it immediately for fraud, a safety concern, a forged document, or a serious
breach.
- When it ends, your wallet balance is paid out in the normal way except where it is
subject to an open dispute, chargeback or a breach of clause 7.
10. Liability, law and jurisdiction
You are responsible for the tuition you deliver, and you agree to reimburse Bolchaall for claims arising
from it or from your breach of this Agreement. Bolchaall's liability to you is limited as set out in clause 12
of the Terms of Service.
This Agreement is governed by the laws of India, and the courts at New Delhi (Delhi) have exclusive
jurisdiction over any dispute arising from it.
