Draft Policy • Pending Formal Financial & Legal Sign-Off
This document outlines our refund and trial frameworks. Specific merchant fee policies and statutory withdrawal rights (such as EU 14-day consumer withdrawal directives) are marked with TODO placeholders and will be confirmed prior to public launch.
Refund and Trial Policy
1. Complimentary 30-Minute Trial Class
We believe every parent and student deserves the opportunity to assess teacher rapport, recitation quality, and classroom software before making any financial commitment:
- No Credit Card Required: Trial classes are 100% free. We never request credit card, debit card, or payment credentials to schedule a trial.
- No Auto-Enrollment: You will never be automatically charged or converted into a paid subscription upon completing your trial session.
- Independent Decision: After the trial, you decide whether to proceed with regular enrollment, request an alternative instructor, or discontinue without obligation.
2. 7-Day Money-Back Satisfaction Policy
When you transition from a trial class into your first paid monthly billing cycle, your investment is protected by our 7-Day Satisfaction Policy:
- Eligibility Window: If you or your child are not completely satisfied with your assigned instructor, teaching methodology, or scheduling arrangements within the first 7 calendar days of your initial paid cycle, you may request a full refund.
- Full Tuition Refund: We will issue a 100% refund of the monthly tuition fee paid for that initial billing month.
- Tutor Change Option: Alternatively, families may request a complimentary reassignment to another certified male or female instructor without forfeiting their remaining lesson credits.
3. Monthly Subscriptions, Pauses & Cancellations
We offer flexible Quranic education without long-term binding contracts:
- No Annual Lock-In: Tuition is billed month-to-month. You may pause or discontinue enrollment at the conclusion of any billing month.
- Cancellation Notice: To ensure proper administrative scheduling and tutor timetable adjustments, we request at least 7 calendar days’ notice prior to your next monthly billing date.
- Mid-Month Discontinuation: In normal circumstances, tuition fees for past, commenced, or unattended sessions within an active billing month are non-refundable. However, in extraordinary situations (such as documented prolonged illness or emergency travel), unused lessons may be credited or refunded upon administrative review.
4. Missed Classes, Makeups & Tutor Absence Guarantee
Because tutors reserve dedicated 30-minute instructional slots specifically for each student, missed classes are handled under our fair makeup framework rather than direct cash refunds:
- Student Notice: With at least 6 hours advance notice, missed sessions can be made up within the same calendar billing month.
- Student No-Shows: Classes missed without notice cannot be refunded or made up.
- Tutor Absence Guarantee: If an instructor misses a class due to illness or technical disruption, the academy guarantees a prompt makeup session, a certified substitute teacher, or a pro-rata tuition credit applied to your subsequent monthly invoice.
5. Refund Processing Timeline & Payment Methods
Approved refunds are credited back to the original method of payment:
Disbursement Window: TODO: 5 to 10 business days depending on the student’s card issuer or bank
Merchant Processing Fees: TODO: Confirm whether merchant transaction fees (e.g. Stripe 2.9% + $0.30) are absorbed by academy or deducted upon non-fault refund
Statutory Consumer Rights: In the EU and UK, consumer statutory rights regarding online service contracts (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 / EU Directive 2011/83/EU) remain fully respected
