6.    REFUNDS, STU­DENT COMPLAINTS:
In the unlikely event a class is can­celled by Char­terQuest, you will be noti­fied as soon as pos­si­ble.

You will also have the option to switch from our Class­room Tuition and/​or or Exam Preps Pack­age to Home Study and claim a credit/​refund for the dif­fer­ence. The only other instance in which we pro­vide for a refund is in the unlikely event in which we may have pro­vided tuition ser­vices that mate­ri­ally falls below our promised qual­ity stan­dards. The stu­dent in this instance agrees to co-​operate with all the inves­ti­ga­tions lead­ing to such refund by inter alia fully com­plet­ing our cus­tomer com­plaints form and adher­ing to our pro­ce­dures for deal­ing with cus­tomer com­plaints as pub­lished on our web­site (COMPLAINT FORM).
