2. Homeroom Services

2.1 What are Homeroom’s Services?

Homeroom’s Services comprise of making the online platform available to its Users that allows Parents & Guardians, Providers and School Organizers to connect in order to provide the Activities to adults and children subscribing for such Activities (“ Students”). As an online marketplace, Homeroom only facilitates the marketing, booking and conduct of the Activities through the platform, besides collecting payment from Parents & Guardians on behalf of Providers and School Organizers.

Homeroom does not background check Providers that School Organizers bring to their campus for in-person Activities, and the School Organizers who host the Activities are responsible for conducting background checks on these Providers.

Homeroom is not involved in designing, planning, creating, selling, reselling, and managing the Activities. Because of this, Homeroom cannot guarantee the quality of the Activities and whether the Activities are safe, legal, and appropriate for Students.

Homeroom encourages you to vet Providers and to make independent inquiries to find if the Activities they offer are safe, legal, and appropriate for Students.

The actual contract for sale, purchase, and conduct of Activities is between Parents & Guardians, School Organizers and Providers, and Homeroom is not a party to this contract. What this means is that Users are responsible for their interaction with other Users. Homeroom urges the Users to be careful, and make necessary inquiries before dealing with other Users.
