Subscription Service
Your purchased lessons are non-transferable and may not be sold or bartered.
Money-back Guarantee: Money-back guarantee is for first-time students only (renewal or upgrade does not apply).
As a first-time student, if you purchase a subscription package that allows you to take a predetermined certain number of lessons per week and are not satisfied with our service, you can cancel your subscription within 1 month. Note that the one-month period starts from the date of your payment (not the date of your first class). You will only be charged for a non-promotional one-month fee and we will refund the rest of the money, if applicable.
As a first-time student, if you purchase a predetermined certain number of lessons to be completed within a certain period of time and are not satisfied with our service, you can cancel your subscription before the 6th lesson (i.e., you can try out for the first five lessons) or within 10 days (note that the 10-day period starts from the date of your first payment, not the date of your first class), whichever comes first. You will be charged a one-time fee for US$119.99.
Pay in installments: If you choose to pay in installments, your payments will be billed at the beginning of your subscription and you will be automatically charged for the payment on the same date in the second, third or fourth (if applicable) month. Failure to complete the required installment payment will be considered breach of contract and your service will be discontinued immediately and your payment will not be refunded (unless you cancel your subscription within the allowed period, see the “Money-back Guarantee”).
Payment Method: You can pay by Credit Card, Debit Card, PayPal, bank transfer or other payment methods.
Cancellation: You may e-mail cancellation request to us at: service@eChineseLearning.com. Please include your Student ID as well as your name, and the e-mail address under which your account currently is registered.
Schedule lessons: Lesson scheduling is subject to the availability of teachers. Students must schedule lessons at least 24 hours ahead of time. Students must cancel or reschedule lessons at least 24 hours ahead of time. A Student might have to book lessons at a time or choose a teacher that might not be his/her preferred choice.
While we try our best to accommodate our students’ needs, we cannot promise nor guarantee that a student would keep or take lessons with the same teacher over the period of service time.
Class recordings: Class recordings must be requested within 7 days after the class was conducted.
