MS. TEA’S LEARNING STUDIO

REFUND & CANCELLATION POLICY

Effective Date: August 1, 2026

Ms. Tea’s Learning Studio provides educational programs, tutoring, enrichment services, technology/app development, and other customized services. Because certain services require reserved time, customized work, materials, labor, or digital development, refunds are handled according to the type of service purchased.

Payment for services constitutes acknowledgment and acceptance of this Refund & Cancellation Policy.

1. TUITION & ENROLLMENT PAYMENTS

Tuition payments reserve a student’s placement in the program and contribute toward instructional services, staffing, curriculum, classroom operations, supplies, technology, and other school-related expenses.

Tuition payments are non-refundable.

Once tuition has been paid, refunds will not be issued due to:

  • Student absence

  • Family vacation or travel

  • Illness or temporary absence

  • Change in family schedule

  • Change in transportation

  • Student choosing not to attend

  • Parent/guardian changing their mind

  • Withdrawal after the billing date

  • Dissatisfaction with the program after enrollment

  • Failure to utilize the educational services available

Enrollment Fees

Enrollment and registration fees are non-refundable once submitted.

Enrollment fees cover administrative processing, enrollment preparation, placement, records, onboarding, and other costs associated with securing a student's placement.

Withdrawal

Parents/guardians who wish to withdraw a student must provide written notice according to the withdrawal requirements outlined in the enrollment agreement.

Withdrawal does not automatically cancel an outstanding tuition balance or other financial obligations.

If a payment has already been processed before a withdrawal request is received, that payment is generally non-refundable.

2. TUTORING, CAMPS, ENRICHMENT & EDUCATIONAL SERVICES

Payments for tutoring, camps, workshops, field trips, enrichment programs, lessons, and other educational services reserve instructional time and/or resources.

General Refund Policy

Payments are non-refundable once the service has been scheduled or provided, except when Ms. Tea’s Learning Studio cancels the service and is unable to provide a reasonable replacement date or alternative service.

Missed Appointments

Missed tutoring sessions, lessons, appointments, or other scheduled services are not automatically eligible for refunds.

Failure to attend a scheduled service does not transfer the financial obligation to Ms. Tea’s Learning Studio.

Rescheduling may be permitted at the discretion of Ms. Tea’s Learning Studio and is subject to availability.

Field Trips & Special Events

Payments for field trips, special events, camps, and activities may be used to purchase admission, transportation, meals, tickets, supplies, reservations, or other non-refundable items.

Once these arrangements have been made, payments may become non-refundable.

If a trip or event is canceled by Ms. Tea’s Learning Studio, families will be notified of the available options, which may include:

  • Rescheduling

  • Credit toward a future event

  • Refund, when applicable

3. APP DEVELOPMENT & TECHNOLOGY SERVICES

Ms. Tea’s Learning Studio may provide custom application development, system setup, automation, database configuration, software customization, troubleshooting, updates, and related technology services.

Because these services involve time, development work, configuration, testing, research, implementation, and customized deliverables:

App Development Services Are Non-Refundable Once Work Has Begun.

A refund will not be issued simply because a client:

  • Changes their mind

  • Decides not to use the application

  • No longer wants the application

  • Changes business direction

  • Finds another developer

  • Does not like a feature after approving the original scope

  • Determines that the application is no longer needed

  • Experiences a change in business circumstances

Scope of Work

App development is based on the features, functionality, and requirements agreed upon at the time of purchase.

Requests for features or functionality that were not included in the original scope of work may be considered additional work and may require an additional fee.

Corrections & Included Updates

If a purchased service includes a correction or support period, Ms. Tea’s Learning Studio will address qualifying issues according to the terms of that service agreement.

A correction to an agreed-upon feature is different from a request for a new feature.

Bug fixes and corrections do not include unlimited redesigns, new functionality, or changes to the original project scope.

Client Approval

Once the client has reviewed, approved, accepted, or begun using a completed application or system, the service is considered rendered.

Acceptance of the completed product does not create a right to a refund.

4. DIGITAL PRODUCTS & CUSTOMIZED MATERIALS

Digital products, customized documents, curriculum materials, templates, forms, graphics, lesson materials, systems, and other digital deliverables are generally non-refundable once delivered or made available to the customer.

Customized work cannot be returned in the same manner as a physical product and may therefore be subject to a strict no-refund policy.

5. THIRD-PARTY FEES

Ms. Tea’s Learning Studio is not responsible for refunding fees charged by third-party platforms, software providers, payment processors, subscription services, app stores, hosting companies, or other vendors.

Examples may include:

  • Software subscriptions

  • Hosting fees

  • Domain fees

  • Payment processing fees

  • Platform fees

  • App marketplace fees

  • Third-party software or integration fees

If a third-party provider charges a fee directly to the customer, the customer must follow that provider's refund policy.

6. PAYMENT DISPUTES & CHARGEBACKS

Customers agree to contact Ms. Tea’s Learning Studio directly regarding billing concerns before initiating a payment dispute or chargeback.

Unauthorized chargebacks or payment disputes involving services that have already been rendered may result in the suspension of services, accounts, access, or future services while the matter is reviewed.

If services have been completed in accordance with the agreed scope of work, documentation of the completed work may be provided to the payment processor or financial institution as part of the dispute process.

7. EXCEPTIONS

Ms. Tea’s Learning Studio reserves the right to review exceptional circumstances on a case-by-case basis.

Any exception to this policy is made solely at the discretion of Ms. Tea’s Learning Studio and does not establish an ongoing obligation to provide refunds in similar circumstances.

An approved exception does not modify the terms of this policy for future purchases.

8. CANCELLATION POLICY

Cancellation requests must be submitted in writing.

Cancellation of a service does not automatically create a right to a refund.

If work has already been started, the customer may remain responsible for payment for work completed, materials purchased, time reserved, or other non-refundable expenses incurred before cancellation.

9. ACKNOWLEDGMENT & ACCEPTANCE

By submitting payment, registering for a program, enrolling a student, scheduling a service, or approving an app/system project, the customer acknowledges that they have had the opportunity to review this Refund & Cancellation Policy and agree to its terms.

Payment constitutes acceptance of this policy.

Ms. Tea’s Learning Studio is committed to providing quality educational and technology services while maintaining clear, fair, and consistent business practices.
