CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY
1. Refund Policy for Online Tuition
By booking tuition services, you agree to the following terms:
Rescheduling/Late Arrivals/Cancellation:
To reschedule or cancel, contact us at least 48 hours before your booking. Missed appointments or late cancellations aren't refundable and will be charged at the full rate (e.g., a missed £80 session will be charged £80).
Please arrive on time for your session. A session will be considered a no-show, and therefore cancelled, if you arrive more than 15 minutes late.
Sessions are limited to the original booked timeframe, and cannot overrun. Please respect your tutor's time, as other students will be booked immediately following your session.
Tuition Rules & Guidelines
To ensure a safe, respectful, and productive environment for both student and tutor, the following guidelines apply to all tuition sessions:
-
Professional Boundaries
Tuition is strictly a professional educational service. The tutor’s role is to provide instruction and guidance related to lucid dreaming and related topics. Any personal, romantic, sexual, or spiritual interpretations projected onto the tutor, their content, or their presence are inappropriate and will not be acknowledged or entertained. Tuition is not a form of therapy, counselling, or spiritual guidance, and all interactions must remain strictly professional.
-
Appropriate Communication
All communication (email, video, written, etc.) must remain respectful, relevant to the learning material, and free from harassment, innuendo, or unsolicited personal disclosures.
-
Session Conduct
Students are expected to attend sessions fully clothed, sober, and in a private space free from distractions. Any behaviour deemed inappropriate will result in the session being terminated immediately.
-
One-to-One Basis Only
Sessions are for the registered student only. Please do not invite others to attend, observe, or record the session without prior written consent.
-
No Recording Without Permission
Recording sessions is strictly prohibited unless explicit written permission is granted by the tutor in advance.
-
Respect for Time
Sessions begin and end at the scheduled time. Late arrivals may result in reduced session time or forfeiture, in accordance with the cancellation policy.
-
Technical Requirements
Students are responsible for having a working internet connection, microphone, and camera (if required), and a quiet, distraction-free environment.
-
Mutual Privacy & Confidentiality
All sessions are conducted in a private one-to-one format. We request that students respect the confidentiality of the tutor and the tuition space, and refrain from sharing or publishing session content without permission.
Failure to follow these rules may result in session termination or removal from the tuition programme without refund, at the tutor’s discretion.
Refunds:
Refunds incur a £25 admin fee per tuition session (individual or bundle). For example, for a £80 session, you'll receive £55 (£80 - £25 = £50). PayPal processing fees are also deducted from the final refund amount.
​
Tuition Bundle Refunds:
For unused or partially completed bundles, a £25 cancellation fee per unused session applies, plus PayPal fees. For example, for a Bundle of Three (£185), the refund will be £110 (£185 - £75 = £110). If you've used sessions, they'll be charged at the full individual session price (£80) and deducted from the refund. PayPal fees will also be deducted from the final refund amount.
14-Day Cooling-Off Period for Digital Services:
In compliance with the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, customers have the right to cancel their purchase of online tuition services within a 14-day cooling-off period, starting from the date of purchase, without providing any reason. However, this right to cancel and request a refund within the cooling-off period will be waived if the customer has already accessed or started the online tuition, thereby acknowledging that they will lose their right to cancel and receive a refund once the service has commenced.
Commencement of tuition is defined as the point at which a session has been scheduled and confirmed by the student — whether or not the session has yet taken place — or when personalised communication regarding session content or preparation has begun.
Eligible Refund Period:
Refunds can be issued within 14 days of the initial payment date, in accordance with the cooling-off period; however, this right to a refund is waived if the tuition has already commenced. Once the 14-day cooling-off period has passed or the tuition has started, only rescheduling or cancellation (at the full rate) is allowed.
​
Redeem sessions within 3 months of payment, or fees are forfeited. For tuition bundles, book and use sessions before expiration (3 sessions in 3 months, 5 sessions in 5 months).
Unused sessions in expired bundles aren't refundable and can't be used or reactivated.
Please be mindful that it's the student's responsibility to book sessions within bundle timeframes.
​
Tutor-Initiated Cancellations & Dismissals
We reserve the right to cancel or discontinue tuition services at our sole discretion. This may occur in cases including, but not limited to:
-
Harassment, inappropriate behaviour, or boundary-crossing communication
-
Any conduct (written, verbal, or behavioural) that causes the tutor to feel unsafe, distressed, or uncomfortable
-
Repeated disruption, misuse of services, or violation of stated policies
-
Behaviour that compromises the integrity of the professional learning environment
In such circumstances:
-
Tuition will be immediately terminated, and no further sessions will be offered.
-
We reserve the right to withhold refunds for any remaining sessions, particularly in cases involving misconduct, harassment, or a breach of professional boundaries.
-
Any refund granted under these conditions will be at the sole discretion of the tutor and may be subject to further deductions, including but not limited to administrative costs or damages.
We also reserve the right to refuse future bookings from any student at our sole discretion, without obligation to provide a reason, in order to protect the wellbeing of our tutors and the integrity of our services.
This policy exists to ensure a respectful, safe, and professional learning space for all participants. We take the wellbeing of our tutors and the quality of our services seriously and will take necessary steps to uphold these standards.
​
Booking System Protection:
​
Our refund policy protects the booking system from abuse, respecting tutors' time and allowing other students access to available slots by enforcing clear terms for rescheduling, cancellation, and refunds.
With a 48-hour notice requirement for changes and an administration fee for refunds, the policy aims to discourages frivolous bookings.
Defined timeframes for redeeming sessions further ensure thoughtful and responsible use of our services.
​
We advise reviewing product descriptions and contacting our support team for assistance before making a purchase.
Dispute Resolution:
These terms and all tuition services are governed by the laws of England and Wales. We aim to resolve any disputes or concerns in a fair and reasonable manner and encourage open communication in the rare event of a disagreement.
