Class cancellation and rescheduling terms:
Private classes:

Due to the fact that The Language Factory is adapting session times to fit the client’s needs, the hourly rate will be charged if proper notice is not given.
- 24 hour notice must also be given when rescheduling classes. Both the client and the teacher must agree on the postponed time and date.
- Client agrees that the full scheduled hours must be taken. Classes that are ended early or started late due to students will be billed as scheduled.
- The Language Factory requires fifteen (15) days of advanced notice for extended absences or if discontinuing services.
Semi-private classes:
