We understand at times there may arise circumstances out of your control that force you to change your plans with short notice.
All our users and tutors are usually very kind and understanding so we always advise that they communicate with one another via the messaging tool especially in cases of short notice bookings, cancellations and rescheduling requests.
For your reference, here are our official rules:
"User, Student, Learner, Parent" means a person that seeks a Tutor and/or Tutoring Services for or on behalf of an individual looking to receive such Services. This may be a student or parent/guardian of such student.
"Tutor" means an educational services provider accessible to Users via the Site.
"Account" means the profile you create by registering/signing up as a User on the Site in accordance with these Terms of Services.
"Tutoring Sessions" means the time spent when Tutor provides Tutoring Services to a user via the Site and Services.
"Refund, refund credit" means to credit back into a user’s Account the amount debited for booking a tutoring.
The following policies apply to both students and parents.
A booking for a new session is automatically confirmed if made at least 24 hours before the selected time slot. The session will be listed as "Upcoming" in your account.
If you make a new booking with short notice of less than 24 hours from the selected time slot the session will need to be confirmed by your tutor and will shown as "Pending Confirmation" in your account until your tutor accepts or declines. Your tutor will have until the start of the session to respond. If your tutor accepts, the session will be confirmed and the status will be shown as "Upcoming" in your account. If your tutor declines the booking or does not respond before the scheduled start of the session, the session will be automatically cancelled, removed from your account, and you will be refunded the debited hours. While a new booking is "Pending Confirmation" you may cancel it at any time and you will automatically receive a refund of the debited hours;
Please keep checking the status of your session from time to time as your tutor may accept just before the start of the session at which point the session will be confirmed. If you do not attend it will be treated as a "Student Missed" and you will not be refunded your debited hours, as per the No Show policy.
If you request to cancel a session with at least 24 hours or more notice before the scheduled start of the session, the request will be automatically confirmed and you will be refunded the debited hours.

If your tutor declines, you will still have the option to cancel which will be automatically confirmed but you will not be refunded the debited hours;
If the tutor does not respond the session will remain confirmed and go live at the scheduled start time and if you do not attend it will be treated as "Student Missed" and you will not be refunded your debited hours, as per the No Show policy;
