These Terms & Conditions exist to create a safe, organised, and comfortable learning environment for everyone. By using our website or booking any course, you agree to the terms below — all written with your learning experience in mind.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing our website at alphabetarabicacademy.com, registering for any course, or making a payment, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions and all related policies (including our Privacy Policy and Refund Policy).
If you are enrolling a child, you confirm that you are the parent or legal guardian and you accept these terms on their behalf.
2. Payments
- Enrolment is confirmed only after full payment of the chosen package fees.
- Payments are made per course package, not per individual session.
- We accept PayPal and major credit/debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Amex) via SSL-encrypted payment gateways.
- We do not store payment card details on our servers.
📌 Refund Summary — 3-Day Policy
- Full refund (100%): Within 3 calendar days of registration, before your first lesson — no questions asked
- Partial refund (50%): After your first lesson, for remaining unused lessons (calculated as 50% of remaining package value)
- No refund: After 3 calendar days without a refund request, after attending more than 50% of your package, or after course completion
📖 For complete details, including examples and how to request a refund, please see our Full Refund Policy →
3. Attendance & Punctuality
- A grace period of 5–10 minutes is allowed for late arrival.
- Arriving more than 15 minutes late without prior notice: the lesson is considered completed and no refund or rescheduling will be offered.
- Your lesson time is reserved exclusively for you — please respect it and the teacher's schedule.
4. Missed Lessons & Rescheduling
- To reschedule or cancel a lesson, notify us at least 24 hours in advance.
- Lessons missed or cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice are counted as completed — no refund or replacement lesson is provided.
- In the case of genuine emergencies, management may offer a make-up lesson at its sole discretion.
- Three or more unexcused absences may result in suspension or termination of the course without refund.
✅ With 24+ hours' notice, you may reschedule at no charge, subject to teacher availability.
5. Teacher Absence Guarantee
Your time matters. If your teacher is unable to attend a scheduled lesson, we will either:
- Offer a full replacement lesson rescheduled at a time convenient for you, or
- Credit the lesson's value to your account for future use
Teacher-initiated cancellations are never deducted from your lesson balance. This is our commitment to you.
6. Student Responsibilities & Engagement
To get the best results from your course:
- Attend lessons focused and prepared
- Complete assigned homework and practice between sessions
- Active participation is encouraged and significantly accelerates progress
- For children and beginners, camera usage during Zoom lessons is strongly recommended
- Treat all teachers with respect and professionalism
📌 Progress depends on your participation, consistency, and practice — not our teaching alone. We do not guarantee specific fluency levels or results.
7. Educational Purpose & Limitations
Our courses are for educational and personal development purposes only. Please note:
- Alphabet Arabic Academy is a private educational institution — our certificates are completion certificates, not government-accredited qualifications.
- We do not guarantee specific fluency levels, exam results, or career outcomes.
- Our courses do not replace formal degree programmes or officially accredited language certifications.
