(i) Classes can be scheduled with 24-hour notice or more.

(ii) Classes can be canceled with 24-hour notice or more at no charge. If they are canceled with shorter notice the class will be billed.

(iii) Classes can be scheduled up to 8 weeks in advance.

(iv) Refunded hours will be calculated by billing for the hours taken as outlined on our costs page. This means if you buy 50 hours and get the hourly price for 50 hours, but then ask for a refund after 10 hours you will be billed at the 10-hour price and refunded the remaining.

(i) Lessons are limited to 4 hours a day.

(ii) Classes can be scheduled up to 2 weeks in advance.

(iii) Unlimited Spanish packages cannot be transferred to other people.

The package users are required to adhere to the following ‘Fair Usage Policy’ criteria:

• A maximum of 8 hrs of classes (total) can be scheduled in advance.
• Classes must be spent learning Spanish with the teacher following our curriculum or classes to complement the curriculum. We know this may sound obvious but we had a student watch TV in Spanish and use the teacher as a translator. That is why we had to add this clause.
• Existing scheduled classes will be canceled following 2 consecutive no-shows/missed classes. They can be rescheduled again as needed following their cancellation.

Unlimited Spanish

Additional terms for our Unlimited Spanish program.

• Classes can be taken for 365 days after the enrollment day.

Zero to Conversational Spanish

Additional terms for our Zero to Conversational programs.

• Classes can be taken for 120 days after the enrollment day.
• If a refund is requested, the classes already taken will be billed at full price based on our highest hourly price and the remaining will be refunded within 30 days.

(ii) Each class will take between 30-90 minutes depending on the topic. Class length will be specified on the class registration form.

(iii) Group classes can be booked up to 2 weeks in advance.

(iv) If a student missed 2 classes in a row with no notice all future classes will be canceled in the system. They can be rescheduled again.

(v) Classes may be recorded and shared with the students so they can go back and watch the classes. These recordings cannot be shared by the student with any outside party. Doing so will result in immediate termination of the subscription and may lead to legal action taken against the violator.

(vi) Group classes follow a strict policy of respect for other students and their opinions. Anybody violating this policy – as judged by the teacher – will be removed from the program and have their account canceled. There will be no refund given.

14. Refunds & Class Cancellations

All payments for Classes and/or Gift Vouchers are non-refundable.

Pay-as-you-go private lessons will be refunded as follows:

(ii) A refund of 90% after 1 week or before 6 months after the purchase date. The 10% is to cover fees we incurred receiving and sending the payment.

(iv) Purchased credits are valid for 12 months after the purchase date.

(v) No refund or credit will be given for FREE classes given or requested either alone or as part of a package, as such FREE classes shall be considered to have no monetary value and each FREE class only becomes FREE after a Student has used all their paid classes.

(ii) Refunds of classes bought at a discounted or promotional or bulk rate – When a Student buys classes at a bulk, discounted or promotional rate then it is assumed that the Student will take all of the classes they originally bought. Should the Student wish to apply for a refund during the refund periods available as detailed above, then the discounted or promotional price they received will not apply and they will only be granted a refund assuming that each class that they have taken has already been charged at our normal standard hourly non-discounted rate for the package that the Student had selected, and any refund will only be calculated with any excess money left over.

(iii) No refunds for digital products like the video course or audio course will be given.

(iv) Exception to refund policies can be made in the event of a medical emergency or personal emergency. These are considered on a case-by-case basis.

15. Guaranteed Course Terms & Conditions

The guarantee applies to The Guaranteed Fluency Program, The Guaranteed Conversational Program, and The Zero to Conversational packages.

(i) The guarantee is that if you do not reach the level of a language as indicated on each package, as evaluated by a 3rd party evaluator, then classes are free until you do reach that level.

(ii) The guarantee is contingent on the student following the curriculum outlined in each course – along with any supplemental material deemed necessary by the teacher.

(iii) The guarantee is contingent on the classes being taken at the frequency outlined by each course. For example, for the Guaranteed Spanish Fluency program, the student must take at least 2 hours of 1-on-1 lessons per week with at least two group lessons a week for the time it takes to complete the curriculum.

(iii) The course must be completed in the time indicated, or the guarantee is not valid. For example for the Guaranteed Spanish Fluency program, the course must be completed 12 months from the purchase date.

(iv) The student must attend calls with their Student Advisor when requested to evaluate progress and make adjustments to the course where necessary.

(v) The student can take no more than a total of 2 weeks off from the lessons during the course. This is to ensure that progress is not lost during that time. These courses are 100% online, so even if you are traveling you can still take the classes at a time that fits your schedule.

(vi) Guaranteed courses cannot be transferred to other students once the course has been started.

(vii) Any violation of the terms of use of Math Koala will void the guarantee. This includes but is not limited to:

• Being consistently rude and/or disrespectful to the teacher.
• Using lesson times on things other than learning Spanish
• Booking and missing more than 5 classes in a row.

16. General Class Policies

16.1 Rescheduling or Cancellation of Classes

A class may be rescheduled or cancelled by writing an Email to hello@mathkoala.com or their teacher no later than 24 hours before the original class reservation. A class reservation is considered to be any communication in which the teacher confirms the class. This can be via email, Skype chat, speaking on Skype or scheduling on the Math Koala student calendar. Any cancellation after 24 hours before the class then the full class credit is payable and will not be re-credited. If no rescheduling has been done and a Student fails to attend the class then that will be deemed as though they have attended and they will be charged for that class.

16.2 Class Attendance

The Teacher will wait for 15 minutes from the start time of the class and if after 15 minutes the Student does not connect to Skype and start the class then the Teacher will treat that class as having been taken and no refund will be given for nonattendance.

16.2.1 Cancellation by the Teacher

Occasionally the Teacher may have an unavoidable emergency or illness that could result in them having no option other than to cancel your class for that day or week. When this happens you will be sent an Email as soon as the Teacher knows. You as the Student will not be charged the class credit for the canceled classes and you are free to re-book your class or classes at a time when the Teacher advises you that they can recommence work.

16.3 Class Scheduling

Classes are scheduled by contacting your teacher directly or if necessary the class coordinator at info@livelingua.com. All classes must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance.

16.4 Group Classes

When a Group Class is offered or a Group Price is given, that price is given to ONE person even if they decide to have another person join the class.

When a group class has been purchased then it is solely the responsibility of the person paying for the class to ensure the other classmate attends the classes. No refunds are offered for any group classes purchased under any circumstances.

16.5 Academic Class Hour

Each class that is listed as a one-hour class will be allocated a class of 60 minutes. Therefore, all the one-hour classes will each have a duration of 60 minutes unless otherwise stated.
