Refund Policy

Last updated: March 2026. Clear information about our refund practices.

General Policy

RCIIL operates on a non-refundable fee basis for structured programs and subscription services. Once payment is processed and access is granted, fees are generally non-refundable.

Program Fees

  • Structured Programs (Beginner, Conversational, Advanced, Full Fluency): Non-refundable once access is granted and first instructional session is scheduled
  • Children's Programs: Non-refundable upon enrollment and first class scheduled
  • Private Tutoring Sessions: Non-refundable once session is scheduled with an instructor

Subscription & Membership

  • Extended Support Plan: Monthly subscription billed in advance; non-refundable after billing date
  • Cancellation: Subscribers must cancel before the billing date to avoid next month's charge
  • Prorated Refunds: In rare cases, we may issue prorated credits toward future sessions at our sole discretion

Exceptions & Discretionary Refunds

RCIIL may, at its sole discretion, issue refunds or credits in exceptional circumstances such as:

  • • Technical issues preventing service delivery that cannot be resolved
  • • Instructor unavailability extending beyond 2 weeks
  • • Billing errors or duplicate charges

To request consideration for a refund, contact contact@rciil.org with details. All discretionary refund decisions are final.

Missed Sessions & Rescheduling

  • Scheduled Sessions: Once a session is scheduled, the fee applies regardless of attendance
  • Cancellation: Sessions must be canceled at least 24 hours in advance to be rescheduled without fee
  • No-Show Policy: Sessions missed without 24-hour notice may be forfeited with no refund
  • Rescheduling: Students may reschedule missed sessions (with notice) subject to instructor availability

Payment Methods & Chargebacks

Payments are processed through secure third-party providers. If you dispute a charge through your payment provider (chargeback), RCIIL reserves the right to suspend your account pending investigation and resolution.
