CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY
1. Refund Policy for Online Tuition
By booking tuition services, you agree to the following terms:
Tuition services are available only to adults aged 18 and over.
Rescheduling/Late Arrivals/Cancellation:
​
Cooling-off period
• Tuition sessions are classed as time-specific services (similar to events, travel, or accommodation bookings) and are therefore exempt from the standard 14-day cooling-off period under UK consumer law.
• Once a session time is confirmed, your purchase is non-refundable except under the rescheduling and cancellation terms below.
Rescheduling
• Each session may be rescheduled once, provided you give at least 48 hours’ notice.
• Further reschedule requests cannot be accommodated – the session will be forfeited without refund.
• This policy ensures fairness for all students and allows the tutor to manage their schedule effectively.
Cancellations / Missed sessions
• Missed sessions or cancellations made with less than 48 hours’ notice are non-refundable and the session will be forfeited.
• Please arrive on time. If you are more than 15 minutes late, the session will be treated as a no-show and forfeited without refund.
Session length
• Sessions are limited to the original booked timeframe and cannot overrun, as other students may be scheduled immediately afterwards.
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 for adults (18+). 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). 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 will be deducted, along with any PayPal processing fees. If sessions have already been used, they will be charged at the non-discounted standard individual session rate and deducted from the refund. PayPal fees are non-refundable and will also be deducted from the final amount.
Eligible Refund Period:
• Tuition sessions are non-refundable once booked, except under the rescheduling and cancellation terms stated.
• Redeem sessions within 3 months of payment, or fees are forfeited. For tuition bundles, all sessions must be booked and used before the bundle expiry date (3 sessions in 3 months, 5 sessions in 5 months).
• Unused sessions in expired bundles are non-refundable and cannot be reactivated.
• It is the student’s responsibility to schedule sessions within the bundle timeframe.
​
​
Tutor-Initiated Cancellations & Dismissals
We reserve the right to cancel or discontinue tuition services at our discretion in situations such as:
​
-
Harassment, inappropriate behaviour, or boundary-crossing communication
-
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 cases:
​
-
Tuition may be terminated immediately, and no further sessions will be offered.
-
Refunds for unused sessions may be reduced or withheld in cases involving misconduct, harassment, or serious breaches of professional boundaries.
-
Where termination is not due to misconduct, a fair and proportionate refund will be offered for any unused sessions.
We also reserve the right to refuse future bookings from any student, 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.
​
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.
