Cancellation Policy
Cancellation period
For the purposes of this policy, sufficient notice shall be 24 hours.
​
Parents need to notify their tutor at least 24 hours in advance; otherwise, they will be charged a $15 cancellation fee + $2 admin processing fee for that session provided more than 2 hours notice was given. If parents provide less than 2 hours notice, the full cost of the lesson applies.
The student will not be charged a cancellation fee for the lesson if the lesson is cancelled solely due to:
​
-
the tutor cancelling the lesson for any reason, or failing to be at the agreed place at the agreed time for any reason;
-
the student being sick (as certified by a medical practitioner);
-
the student having an appointment which is:
-
important and urgent, and
-
unable to be rescheduled;
-
the student and the tutor agreeing to cancel the lesson without charge;
-
the student’s requirement to appear in court for any reason;
-
the student cancelling the lesson with more than 24 hours notice;
-
the student's requirement to self isolate due to being a close COVID-19 contact
-
any other unforeseeable event which should reasonably take precedence over the student’s attendance at the lesson.
Unacceptable reasons for cancellation:
The student will be charged a cancellation fee for the lesson if the lesson is cancelled due to:
​
-
the student’s lateness, including but not limited to lateness due to transport delays;
-
a reasonably foreseeable or regular event which would otherwise satisfy any of the acceptable reasons for cancellation above, with the exception of a court appearance;
-
any event which is unable to be rescheduled due to a lack of planning by the student;
-
other work or study commitments;
-
any unexplained failure to be at the agreed place at the agreed time.
Furthermore, the student will be charged for the lesson if:
​
-
the student fails to give sufficient notice of the cancellation of the lesson, unless the lesson is cancelled for an acceptable reason as defined in this document; or
-
the student’s failure to give immediate notice of the cancellation causes significant inconvenience to the tutor.
Variation of lessons
​
If the time, place, or duration of a lesson is varied by mutual agreement without significant inconvenience to either the student or tutor, the lesson shall not be taken to have been cancelled.
​
Waiver of fees
​
The tutor or C2A Tutoring, acting as the Agent of the tutor, may choose not to charge the student for a cancelled lesson, even if the student would otherwise be charged under the terms of this policy.
