Last Updated: July 2026

IB Near Me (“we,” “our,” “us”) is an online directory and discovery platform operated by Ecom Ventures Ltd. By accessing or using our website and services (collectively, the “Platform”), you acknowledge and agree to the terms of this Disclaimer.

This page outlines the nature of our directory business, sets limits on our legal responsibility, and explains how information, reviews, and links on this Platform should be interpreted.

1. Nature of Our Business

IB Near Me operates strictly as an independent directory search platform designed to help parents and students discover independent International Baccalaureate (IB) tutors, learning centres, and educational service providers across Hong Kong SAR.

  • Directory Role Only: We are not an IB school, tutoring company, educational agency, or employment broker.

  • No Educational Services: We do not employ tutors, conduct classes, curriculum design, or deliver educational instruction.

  • Independent Providers: All educational services listed on our Platform are delivered independently by third-party tutors and businesses.

2. No Direct Affiliation or Official Endorsement

Unless expressly stated in writing, IB Near Me is not directly affiliated with, sponsored by, or partnered with any educational provider listed on the Platform.

  • A listing on IB Near Me does not constitute an endorsement, official verification, background check, accreditation, or guarantee of quality by Ecom Ventures Ltd.

  • Listed tutors and educational centres are independent third parties. Providers are encouraged to claim and verify their free basic listings to maintain accurate information for parents.

3. Listing Creation & Curation

To maintain a high level of quality and transparency for families in Hong Kong, directory listings are built using strict standards:

  • Manual Curation Only: All profiles are manually researched, curated, and entered by our team. We do not use automated web scraping bots, software, or data-harvesting scripts to extract site data.

  • Public Information Sourcing: Listings are compiled using publicly available business information sourced from official provider websites, public social media pages, public directories, and direct parent recommendations.

  • Platform Terms Compliance: We respect and strictly comply with the terms of service of external platforms, including Google’s Terms of Service.

  • PDPO Compliance & Takedown: Data handling complies with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486) of Hong Kong. Providers may request profile modifications or complete removal at any time by contacting us.

4. No Guarantee of Accuracy or Completeness

While we make every effort to ensure the information on our Platform is current, IB Near Me provides all content on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

We make no express or implied representations or warranties regarding:

  • The qualifications, certifications, or criminal background of listed tutors.

  • The accuracy of pricing, class availability, timetable schedules, or course details.

  • The completeness or timeliness of any business profile.

Parents and students are solely responsible for conducting their own independent due diligence, verification, and vetting prior to engaging any service provider.

5. Educational Outcome & Service Liability

Ecom Ventures Ltd and IB Near Me assume no responsibility or legal liability for:

  • Academic results, exam scores, IB diploma outcomes, or grades.

  • The professional conduct, teaching quality, safety, or suitability of any listed provider.

  • Business operations, scheduling conflicts, cancellations, billing disputes, or breach of contract between users and third-party providers.

6. Affiliate Marketing & Advertising Disclosure

To cover server hosting, platform maintenance, and ongoing operations, IB Near Me incorporates monetization mechanisms, including affiliate marketing, paid directory placements, and featured advertisements.

  • Affiliate Links: Some links on the Platform may be affiliate links, meaning we may earn a small referral commission if you click through and purchase a service—at no extra cost to you.

  • Editorial Independence: Affiliate or commercial relationships do not alter, distort, or influence our editorial integrity, directory categorization, or review moderation policies.

7. User-Generated Reviews & Feedback

Reviews and ratings published on IB Near Me reflect the personal opinions and experiences of individual parents and students.

  • IB Near Me does not independently verify the factual accuracy of user-submitted reviews.

  • We reserve the right (but assume no obligation) to remove reviews that are defamatory, abusive, fraudulent, off-topic, or in violation of our community standards.

8. External Links Disclaimer

Our Platform contains links to external websites operated by third parties (such as tutor websites or booking portals). We have no control over the content, privacy practices, safety, or security of external websites and hold no liability for any loss or damage incurred by visiting them.
