If you're applying for an enhanced DBS check through MyTutor, please take a moment to read these important terms. These DBS Terms apply in addition to our Tutor Terms & Conditions and explain how the DBS check cost is covered and repaid.
Full DBS Terms and Conditions
1. Purpose
Capitalised terms in these DBS Terms have the same meaning as in the Tutor terms and conditions (“Tutor T&Cs”), unless otherwise specified herein. These DBS Terms should be read in conjunction with the Tutor T&Cs.
2. Your Responsibility
As set out in the Tutor T&Cs, obtaining an enhanced DBS check is solely your responsibility. Due to safeguarding regulations, you may not provide Tutoring Services without a valid DBS check.
3. Using MyTutor's DBS Service
You may request that MyTutor arrange a DBS check on your behalf through our third-party provider (“DBS Supplier”). If you do, we will pay the full cost upfront (“DBS Charges”).
4. Repayment Agreement
If you opt for MyTutor to provide the service as set out in paragraph 3 above, you agree to indemnify us for DBS Charges by allowing our Payment Provider to deduct the DBS Charges paid by us from your Fees, in accordance with paragraph 5 of these DBS Terms.
5. DBS Cost
As of the date of these terms, the total DBS Charge is:
£49.50 for the enhanced DBS check
£5.50 for our DBS Supplier’s admin fee
= £55.00 total
You agree to repay the DBS Charge at a rate of £5.50 per Tutorial, for up to 10 Tutorials, or until the full amount is repaid — whichever comes first.
6. If Repayment Isn't Completed
If you do not complete 10 Tutorials within one academic term or 100 days (whichever occurs first), MyTutor will invoice you for any amount that has not yet been repaid. If you choose to close your MyTutor Account, or MyTutor closes your Account (for one or more reasons set out in the Tutor T&C’s) before you have repaid the DBS Charge in full, MyTutor will invoice you for the remaining amount.
7. Invoicing and Payment Terms
If MyTutor invoices you pursuant to paragraph 6 above, you must pay the amount set out in the invoice to MyTutor within 7 days of the invoice date. If you fail to do this, MyTutor reserves the right to:
Suspend and/or terminate your account
Oinstruct the Payment Provider to withhold funds to offset any amounts payable to MyTutor; and/or
Charge interest on overdue balances (as per the Tutor T&Cs)
8. Changes to These Terms
We reserve the right to change these DBS Terms at any time to accurately reflect the latest requirements of the DBS checks (including DBS Charges). It is your responsibility to review these DBS Terms regularly. Any changes to these DBS Terms take effect from the date that such updates to these DBS Terms are published. If you disagree with any changes to these DBS Terms, you should let MyTutor know and not continue to deliver Tutoring Services or receive any MTW Services.
