No Warranties

In no event shall our obligations, expressed or implied, to any customer or site user, exceed those obligations specifically noted herein.

Cancellation of Scheduled Sesson by Student

The Client/Student may cancel tuition/lessons by giving at least 24 hours prior notice to the Tutor in which case no tuition fees will be incurred. Lessons not attended by the student without giving 24 hours prior notice to the Tutor shall be charged at the full rate.

 

All sessions are to be completed within a 30-day time-frame in accordance with the 1st-day sessions began. If sessions are cancelled on the part of the client/student (within the 24-hour policy), a makeup session must be arranged within 7 days or those missed hours will be lost.

​

Fees are based upon the Student’s undertaking to attend all lessons as stipulated in the schedule above and no discount or refunds shall be given in respect of lessons not attended by the Student.

Cancellation of Scheduled Sesson by Tutor

The Tutor may cancel lessons by giving 24 hours prior notice to the Client/Student in which case no fees shall be incurred. Where a lesson was pre-paid, the Tutor shall reschedule the appointment at a time agreeable to both parties, failing which the Client/Student shall be refunded with such a missed lesson fee.

​

All sessions are to be completed within a 30-day time-frame in accordance with the 1st-day sessions began. If sessions are cancelled on the part of the tutor, a makeup session must be arranged within 7 days or those missed hours will be lost.

Late Arrival

Fees are calculated according to the times stipulated in the schedule and no adjustment shall be made for time lost because of late arrival by the Student. Students who arrive late will only be tutored for the remainder of the scheduled session. There will be no prolonged sessions.

​

Any lost time because of the late arrival of the Tutor shall be compensated for by extending a lesson by mutual agreement and by such amount of time that was lost.

No-Show Policy

Students who are not present at the pre-determined location when Tutor arrives or who are more than 15 minutes late are considered no-shows. If the student is a no-show, he or she is still responsible for payment for the tutoring session.  No discount or refunds shall be given in respect of lessons not attended by the Student.

No relaxation, indulgence, waiver, or release by any party of any of the rights in terms of this agreement on one occasion shall prevent the subsequent enforcement of such rights and shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of any of the terms.

No-Refund Policy

Please be aware that we have a No Refund Policy for all services.  Refund requests, including, but not limited to, those made by Students who cannot attend or use services, regardless of the student’s reason(s), and regardless of whether the Student provides us with advance notice, will not be honored. In addition, should you choose to cancel a prepaid Learning Package after attending your first session, you will be billed for the remaining amount of the Tutoring Package price.  Exceptions may be made only when a student cannot attend due to serious illness or the death of an immediate member of the Student’s family.  In these cases, official documentation may be required.
