The Company will endeavour to use its best efforts to provide the services.

Payment for the invoice shall by PayNow, PayLah or any mode of payment agreed by the Company.

Time is of essence and timely payment is a term and condition of the Agreement.

Group Lesson Attendance Policy

Group lesson fees are charged based on the number of students enrolled for the group, and the applicable group rate shall remain in force regardless of the actual number of students who attend the session.

In the event that one or more students do not attend a scheduled group lesson, the lesson will proceed for the attending student(s), and the full group lesson fee shall remain payable. For the avoidance of doubt, no refund, credit, make-up session, or conversion to a solo lesson will be provided.

Where a student is unable to attend due to illness, the Client may request to reschedule the entire group lesson. Such requests must be submitted prior to the start of the lesson and are strictly subject to the Tutor’s availability. The Company may, at its sole discretion, request reasonable proof of illness, including but not limited to a medical certificate or a parental declaration.

The Company reserves the right to decline any rescheduling request that does not comply with the above requirements or where rescheduling is not reasonably practicable.

Cancellation & Rescheduling

The Client may cancel or reschedule a tuition lesson, provided notice is given at least 24 hours before the scheduled start time. This notice period respects the preparation and scheduling of our Mentors; therefore, any cancellation or rescheduling request made with less than 24 hours’ notice will be considered a “Late Cancellation” and is billable at the full session rate.

Exceptions may be considered on a case-by-case basis only in the event of extenuating and unforeseen circumstances beyond the control of all parties. Please note that paid lesson packages are non-transferable, non-assignable, and non-refundable, unless specifically approved by the Company.

The Company also reserves the right to cancel any tuition lesson due to unforeseen events or circumstances beyond its control. In such cases, the Company will replace the tuition lesson at a mutually agreed date and time.

Mentor Absence, Relief Arrangements, and Make-Up Policy

In the event that an assigned mentor is absent due to illness or unforeseen circumstances, Scholars Hall will arrange for a fully briefed relief mentor to take over the class. To ensure uninterrupted academic progress for the student, there is strictly no refund or prorating of fees when a lesson is fulfilled by a relief mentor.

If a relief mentor cannot be sourced for the original time slot, or if the proposed relief arrangements do not suit the student’s schedule, the student is entitled to the following alternatives:

  • Request an alternative relief mentor whose schedule aligns with the student’s availability.
  • Opt to skip the affected week’s lesson and make arrangements to attend a make-up class with the originally assigned mentor upon their return.

The Company shall have no responsibility (whether to the Client or otherwise) in respect of any losses which are not reasonably foreseeable, any indirect, consequential, special or punitive losses, any loss of anticipated income, profit, use, anticipated savings, goodwill, reputation or business contracts or any other form of pure economic loss or any loss or damage suffered by the Client as a result of, or in connection with any claims against the Client arising from or in connection with the Services.

Unless otherwise stated and to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim against the Company shall be limited to the aggregate amount or all amounts actually paid by or due from the Client or if applicable, the total amount paid for the tuition packages.
