alternative day/time cannot be agreed upon.

exceptional circumstances which might delay payment.

Cancellation of lessons
Evening lessons:
Cancellation of an evening lesson will be accepted up to 1200h on the day of the lesson.
Morning or afternoon lessons:
Notice of cancellation must be given by 18.00h the previous day.
Saturday or Sunday lessons
You can cancel a prearranged weekend lesson at any time but it will be charged for irrespective of when it is cancelled.
Payment of cancelled lessons:
Cancellation of lessons after the deadline must be paid for.
If a lesson is arranged for Saturday or Sunday, then this must be paid for, irrespective of when it is cancelled!
If the client persistently cancels lessons (more than once per month), then the agreed lesson will have to be paid for
irrespective of when it is cancelled.
On agreeing to take lessons, whether on fixed days or ad hoc, four lessons must be
paid for in advance. That is, TELS will always hold payment for four lessons in reserve.
This will be repaid to you according to our cancellation terms.
Lessons actually taken during a month will be invoiced separately at the end of the month.
Cancellation of tuition
Cancellation of tuition is by mutual agreement with a notice period of two weeks. The four lessons advance payment will be used
for the final two lessons and the remaining balance will be returned to you. Termination without two weeks' notice forfeits
two lessons of your advance payment.
