• No guarantees are made regarding academic improvement, grades, test scores, admissions outcomes, skill mastery, or measurable progress
• Progress is highly dependent on student participation and completion of assigned homework and practice work
• Services are provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE”, without warranties of any kind

4. Limitation of Liability

The total fees paid in the previous 30 days

Parent/Guardian agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Provider from any claims arising from student participation, failure to complete assigned work, or misinterpretation of guidance.

5. Assumption of Risk

You acknowledge that educational outcomes are inherently uncertain, results depend significantly on student consistency, effort, and homework completion, and participation is voluntary and undertaken at your own risk.

6. No Professional Advice Disclaimer

8. Refund, Absence & Rescheduling Policy

All payments are non-refundable under all circumstances, including student absence, missed sessions, and scheduling conflicts. No refunds or credits will be issued for student absences.

Sessions may be rescheduled only if at least 24 hours advance notice is provided and rescheduling is subject to availability and not guaranteed.

In the event of Provider unavailability, Provider will make a reasonable effort to reschedule. If rescheduling is not possible, a credit or adjustment may be issued at Provider’s discretion.

9. Termination Policy
