This section further details the selected service the Contractor will perform and explains that before a teacher can work with new students, the teacher must accept the student inquiry and provide scheduling options.
Teachers can not accept payment directly from clients for services. Clients will be auto-billed, or can manually pay on our website, through our invoicing system. Accepting end of the year holiday gifts are acceptable.
This section also explains that Forbes Music does not train, and that teachers are experience in the means and methods of delivering music Lessons and Classes. Also, all documents must be submitted prior to teaching so we can run background checks.
Section H is very important and lists items critical to ensuring success. TL;DR: Be professional and follow Help Center policies.
Be on time for each Lesson or Class;
Teach for the full length of the Lesson or Class;
Be professional and courteous at all times;

No later than the 20th day of each month, Contractor must inform Company of the dates during the next (following) month that the Contractor is unavailable to be scheduled to teach Lessons or Classes. Contractor shall inform the Company by adding “Unavailability Dates” to Contractor’s calendar for the upcoming month.

Eligibility to reschedule canceled Lessons are subject to the Forbes Music Company cancellation and reschedule policy as outlined in the online Help Center.

For In-Home Lessons with a student 17 years of age or under, Contractor agrees to only teach the student if an adult 18 years or older is on the premises for the duration of the lesson.

The Lesson and Class shall take place in an appropriate room or studio that is clean, neat, well organized, and appropriate to conduct Lessons. Further, Lessons and Classes should not be given in front of a window during daylight hours, which makes it difficult for the student to see the Contractor.)
