Terms and conditions
These terms and conditions apply to any Diluu course that your children attend. By paying the class fees and attending a course, you agree to be bound by these Terms. You should read them carefully.

1.4. These Terms govern the contract, which is formed between you and us when we accept the Student in a Course.

4. Your Cancellation Rights
4.1. The fee must be paid in full before the start date; otherwise, we may not allow access to the class except if you are on the monthly subscription plan.

To benefit from a make-up class, you must notify us by email or WhatsApp at +447784628261 about your absence at least 2 hours before the class you will miss in the case of a group session. We will then agree on a suitable date and group to make up the class, and once agreed upon, that class will count as taken even if you do not attend. If it is an individual class, we can coordinate the make-up in this format if you notify us at least 24 hours before the class; otherwise, we can offer you a group make-up session.

However, if you are a resident of Northern Ireland, you may also initiate proceedings in Northern Ireland, and if you are a resident of Scotland, you may also initiate proceedings in Scotland.
10.9. We record all educational sessions in order to carry out a rigorous evaluation of the teaching quality. In these recordings, both the instructor and the students are visible when actively participating in the class. It should be noted that access to these recordings is restricted exclusively to the coordinator of teachers. All recordings are deleted one week after the class date.
If you have any concerns regarding the privacy of your children, you have the option to turn off their camera so they do not appear in the video. It is important to mention that we do not disclose or publish these recordings on any public or private platform. All recordings are securely stored in Zoom's cloud and are automatically deleted seven days after the class date.
We recommend reviewing and agreeing to these terms before proceeding with booking a session.
