What we undertake, what we do not, and what we ask of one another.
The spirit in which this is offered
This is an education promotion campaign. The organisation undertakes it with no intent of personal benefit.
Decency, decorum and mutual respect are essential components of taking part — not incidental courtesies, but conditions of the undertaking, for teacher and student alike.
The organisation reserves the right to continue, modify or discontinue these services at its discretion.
Any dispute arising is subject to judicial review or arbitration.
What learning we can and cannot promise
We make no assurance of complete scholarship. Scholarship is the territory of the learner. It is not a commodity that can be delivered, and no teacher can confer it on someone who does not undertake it themselves.
Teaching is offered with the best attempt of which the scholars are capable. Even so, mastery may or may not follow. What remains after sincere effort on both sides, we are content to leave to destiny.
Nothing here should be read as a guarantee of proficiency, qualification, examination result, certification or livelihood.
Fair usage, and how admission is decided
Fair usage and mutual respect govern participation. The services are offered for genuine study; using them otherwise, or in a way that degrades them for others, ends participation.
Admission, lessons and intake are policy decisions of the tutors and the independent scholars. They teach in their own right. They cannot be ordained, directed or compelled to admit a student, to teach a particular syllabus, or to continue with a class — neither by the organisation nor by a student.
A decision not to admit is not a judgement on the person, and carries no obligation to give reasons.
Registration and any verification fee confirm an application. They do not by themselves confer a place in a class.
Why money does not come back, and what is offered instead
No refunds are permissible. What is received is a donation, and a donation cannot be refunded.
In place of money, we offer time. A student who has been unsuccessful may seek a further quarter of lessons free of charge, so that a difficult start is not the end of the matter.
Beyond that, on compassionate grounds it may be allowed. Write to the administration, say plainly what has happened, and it will be considered.
Your details, your contact, and the material you are taught
What we hold. We keep what you gave at registration — your name and contact, your background, and what you asked to study — together with your class placement and whether your fee cleared. It is used to teach you and to reach you, and for nothing else. Payments are handled by the payment providers; we never see or store your card details.
Leaving. Anyone may drop off from the process by giving simple notice to the administration. No explanation is required. If you do explain, an attempt at redressal of your concerns will be made before we take you at your word.
Contact you do not want. A student may cut off contact with the services or with a teacher whom they find intrusive, rude or inexplicable. You do not need permission, and you do not need to justify it.
What we do not oversee. The system monitors subject-related transaction only — nothing more and nothing less. Private or off-record communication and contact between teachers and students falls outside the system, and the system is not responsible for it. Anything of consequence that happens there should be brought to the administration, which can act only on what it is told.
Piracy. Lessons, recordings, notes and translations remain the property of those who made them (see Credits). They are given to you to learn from — not to copy, resell, republish or redistribute. Share the learning freely; do not take the material.
