Guarantees for the Services. Plan-A Tuition provides you with the following two (2) guarantees in relation to the Services:

2-Session Money-Back Guarantee. Should you experience a quality issue during the first two (2) tutoring sessions/lessons, and you have notified Plan-A Tuition of the quality issue in writing within twenty-four (24) hours from the second session and confirmed that the Tutee does not wish to continue with the Tutee’s tutoring session/lesson, Plan-A Tuition shall institute a quality check and may request your input prior to issuing any refund, in our sole discretion. Examples of quality issues include but are not limited to the late arrival of the Tutor, technical issues, bad quality of audio-visuals, bad quality of instructional materials, lack of subject-matter knowledge by the Tutor, or unprofessionalism on the part of Plan-A Tuition and/or the Tutor. For the avoidance of doubt, quality issues shall not include lack of expertise in specific learning disabilities and special needs, or lack of responsiveness by the Tutee to online tutoring; and
Tutor Matching Guarantee. Should the Tutee not be adapting with the Tutor (either on an individual basis or in a group) assigned to and chosen by the Tutee, Plan-A Tuition may assign a new Tutor free of charge, providing that the Tutee has provided us with two (2) weeks written notice. All further requests to change an assigned Tutor will be processed within two (2) weeks of such request and incur a ten pounds sterling (£10,00) scheduling fee.

Cancellation and Rescheduling Policy. Should a Tutee wish to cancel one (1) tutoring session/lesson for any reason, Plan-A Tuition shall not offer you any refund. However, should Tutee provide us with twenty-four (24) hours’ written notice in advance, we shall notify the Tutor and reschedule the cancelled tutoring session/lesson over the weekend. This service shall be provided to you free of charge for the first cancellation and will incur a five pounds sterling (£5,00) or applicable equivalent currency amount, rescheduling fee thereafter.
In the event the Tutee wishes to terminate their engagement with the Tutor, or with Plan-A Tuition, prior to any rescheduled sessions having taken place, Tutee acknowledges and agrees that Plan-A Tuition and the Tutor shall not offer any credit or incur any liability for such termination.
Cancellation of Group (Twin Tutorial) Sessions. Plan-A Tuition does not offer any rescheduling of group sessions. We shall, however, offer to send the Tutee a recording of the missed tutoring session/lesson recording, report and homework. Should the Tutee wish to catch-up the missed tutoring session/lesson on an individual basis (i.e., 1:1 session), this shall be made available to the Tutee by Plan-A Tuition for an additional discounted fee rate of the current applicable retail price for the Services as illustrated on the Website.
Vacation Policy. You acknowledge and accept to provide Plan-A Tuition with two (2) weeks prior written notice of any and all upcoming vacations, so that we may pause your monthly subscription Billing Cycle (defined below) and keep your remaining tutoring sessions/lessons for when you return. If you have sudden vacation plans and notify us less than two (2) weeks in advance, Plan-A Tuition shall still hold your remaining tutoring sessions/lessons, however your Billing Cycle (defined below) may not be paused. Furthermore, Plan-A Tuition guarantees that the same Tutor and tutoring session/lesson slots will be available for up to two (2) weeks from the date of the start of your vacation. Thereafter, if the Tutor has been booked, we will match you with a replacement Tutor at your preferred time slot.

Tutor Leave/Change. Should a Tutor get sick, be otherwise ill-disposed, unavailable for a fixed or indefinite period, or any reason at all, Plan-A Tuition may offer a substitute Tutor for one (1) tutoring session/lesson. The substitute Tutor shall be of equal calibre as the previous Tutor and have access to all past session/lesson reports, in order to conduct a fruitful session/lesson with the Tutee.

Technological Delays. If there are any delays in the provision of the Services as a direct consequence of any technology issues resulting from the Tutor's setup, Plan-A Tuition will request that the Tutor make up any lost time in the next scheduled tutoring session/lesson. If the delay is due to technology issues resulting from the Tutee’s side, Tutee acknowledges, understands and agrees that Plan-A Tuition shall not be responsible/liable for such technological issues and/or delays. However, Tutee may request the Tutor to provide extra homework for the Tutee to complete as a means to catch-up on any missed work by the Tutee.

Employment of Tutor. From the commencement of the Services and for twelve (12) months after the Terms have been accepted, should the Tutee wish to employ a Tutor directly, or through a recruitment business/agency, the Tutee acknowledges and agrees that Plan-A Tuition shall be entitled either to (i) charge the Tutee a transfer fee of one thousand pounds sterling (£1000,00); or (ii) agree to hire the Tutor for an extended period of twelve (12) months from the date of such request to employ the Tutor. Upon the termination of such twelve (12) month extended period the Tutor may be engaged directly by the Tutee or through a recruitment business/agency without further charge by Plan-A Tuition to the Tutee. You further acknowledge, understand and agree that both the Tutor and Tutee(s) shall not exchange personal contact information for the duration of these Terms and for twelve (12) months after the expiry or termination of these Terms.
