PREPLY REFUND AND PAYMENT POLICY

Your purchase of and payment for lessons shall be regulated by this Refund Policy.

PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY BEFORE MAKING A PAYMENT AS IT DETERMINES YOUR

RIGHTS WITH REGARD TO YOUR PURCHASES, INCLUDING ESSENTIAL RESTRICTIONS
AND EXCLUSIONS.

Preply strives to ensure clear understanding of financial relations between students and tutors with
respect to the services we provide. This policy applies to all services and features made available
through the Website and any related Preply mobile device application (collectively, the “Services”).

Tutor-Student transactions
Preply facilitates contracts between users (students (their parents) and tutors) by supplying a platform
to request, deliver and pay for such Services. Preply is only a platform and in no case will be a party to
any contracts made by tutors and students, or any other service or materials provided by a tutor. Preply
will in no way be responsible for monitoring any transactions between students/parents, and tutors.

Cancellation of a lesson
Lessons can be cancelled any time up to 4 hours before the lesson is due to start and rescheduled
thereafter.

Otherwise, you are liable to be charged the full amount for the scheduled lesson, unless the tutor agrees
not to charge you after a formal discussion.

We reserve the right for every tutor to charge the cost of the lesson that is cancelled less than 4 hours
before its due time, without possibility of this amount being refunded to the student or transferred to
other tutors.

You can cancel/reschedule lessons through your Preply account easily by clicking the corresponding
button in ‘My lessons’ for the scheduled lesson anytime up to 4 hours before your lesson. You will be
asked to provide a reason for cancellation which, in most cases, will be forwarded to your tutor.

Change of a tutor
In case you decided to use your right to change a tutor after the first lesson, you can only do this not
more than 2 (two) times. In case you decide to change tutors more than 2 (two) times, the next first
lesson with any other new tutor should be paid.

If the tutor doesn't suit you or the lesson didn't take place, we will guarantee you a free lesson with
another tutor that you'll choose on the site, or we will refund the payment immediately after submitting.
In case the tutor doesn't suit your needs, or your scheduled lesson didn't take place but was accidentally
confirmed, you can ask us to refund or transfer these funds to another tutor within 3 days of the
scheduled lesson's start time.

Refunds
To make a refund the cancellation of lesson(s) is required to be made in 24 hours before the lesson is
due to start.

If there are extenuating circumstances meaning a lesson is missed or needs to be cancelled at short
notice, these refunds can be made at the tutor's discretion, but there is no obligation on the tutor to do
so.
Please contact your tutor in the first instance if you would like to be refunded. If you do not receive a
response, please email [email protected] with the following information within 72 hours of the
original lesson time:

• Date and time of lesson

• Reason for requested refund
• Name of your tutor

The refund option will be available for your payment only during the period of 90 (ninety) days from
the date when your payment was made for all unconfirmed lessons. Preply is not responsible for any
kind of fee charged by payment systems and will not cover it when initiating a refund. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, any refunds at any time are at our sole discretion only.

In case you forgot to claim your refund during the stated period, you can still use these funds and buy
the appropriate amount of hours with any other tutor.

In case you chose a refund option, its speed and availability of refunded funds on your bank account
will depend solely from the terms and policies of your bank regarding the speed of transactions.

Your refund may be issued only once. If you buy another lesson(s) at a later time, it will not be subject
to the same refund request.

No refund will be issued in case the user has lost and/or forgot his/her login credentials (username and
passwords), which has resulted in loss of data, temporary loss of access to the user's account or any
other inconveniences for the user.

No refund will be issued in case the user has lost connection due to the absence of Internet access,
factory reset or updates.

Refund Procedure
You are required to send your refund request at [email protected].

The refund decision shall be made up to 30 calendar days.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, any refunds at any time are at our sole discretion only.

Chargeback Related
In the event of a chargeback by a credit card company (or similar action by another payment provider
allowed by us) in connection with your purchase of any lesson(s), you agree that we may suspend access
to any and all accounts you have with us.
