1. Guaranteed full refund before the first class
If, after payment, no class has yet been taken and 10 days from the date of payment have not passed, the Company refunds the full amount paid without deducting any fee.
2. Other refunds
Even where paragraph 1 above does not apply, the Company provides refunds at any time within the validity period of the lesson package on the following basis.
- Unit of request : refunds are requested per payment. To obtain refunds for several payments, each payment must be selected and requested individually.
- lesson packages : the amount paid is refunded after deducting the value of classes already delivered. Classes already delivered include not only classes attended but also absences (Article 12, paragraph 4).
- Treatment of Complimentary Benefits : bonus class sessions, free Tickets, free AI practice time and other Complimentary Benefits are not taken into account when calculating the refund and lapse upon refund. Where only Complimentary Benefits have been used and no paid session has been used, the full amount paid is refunded.
- Tickets : the amount corresponding to unused paid Tickets is refunded. Tickets already used are not refundable.
- Where there has been a change of Teacher : where a lesson package has been transferred following a change of Teacher, classes delivered before and after the change are aggregated for the calculation.
- Overseas payment fee : for payments processed through the overseas payment provider, the processing fee is not returned on refund, and therefore an additional 5% of that payment amount is deducted.
- Non-refundable cases : payments whose paid classes or Tickets have been fully used, and entitlements that have lapsed on expiry of their validity period, are not refundable.
- Effect of a refund : once a refund is approved, the classes and matching linked to that payment end immediately and cannot be restored.
The Company displays the estimated refund as a monetary amount on the refund request screen.
