SECTION 10 - REFUNDS

Refunds must be requested during your first 14 days of subscription to our services, and can only request a refund for lessons not taken (unused purchased lessons). 

Refunds can only be claimed on unused lessons. A refund is not applicable to a trial lesson.

Tell Class offers the feature to cancel your own subscription at any time via the Subscription Details page.

Refunds (if applicable)
Once your refund request has been received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your refund request. We will also notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund. If you are approved, then your refund will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your credit card or original method of payment, within 7 business working days.

Late or missing refunds (if applicable)
If you haven't received a refund yet, first check your bank account again. Then contact your credit card company, it may take some time before your refund is officially posted. Next contact your bank. There is often some processing time before a refund is posted. If you've done all of this and you still have not received your refund yet, please contact us via the website chat support.

Refunds with sale or discounted items (if applicable)
Only regular priced plans may be refunded, unfortunately sale items cannot be refunded. If you are not 100% happy in your first 14 days or if you want to cancel or downgrade a bigger subscription plan, we will refund the remaining balance, however, the discount that you received will be adjusted accordingly to the new plan lesson price.

Example: If you bought 50 lessons and received 10% discount, but in your first month you wish to cancel, the lesson rate for the lessons you used would fall under a lesser discount rate (lose your 10% discount) and then refunded the remaining balance.

SECTION 11 - CANCELLATION OF SUBSCRIPTION

Tell Class offers the feature to cancel your own subscription renewal or automatic billing at any time via the Subscription Details page. This will prevent you from being billed again automatically. All unused lessons will remain available to be used unless you also request a refund. See section 10 for more information about refunds.

We want to make sure you and all our students try your best to use all the lessons you buy to improve your English.

We give you 2 months from the date of purchase to use all your lessons. If you don't use them within that time, they will expire and you won't be able to get a refund for these lost lessons. We really want you to make the most of your lessons and use them to help you improve your English skills.
