Student Class Policies
Last updated: September 2026
These policies exist to protect your learning time and your teacher's preparation time. By booking a class with DFrenchHive, you agree to the following.
1. Booking & Confirmation
- • All bookings are confirmed by email or WhatsApp within 24 hours.
- • Your slot is not guaranteed until payment is received (where applicable) or your subscription is active.
- • You will receive a joining link or platform details before your session.
2. Rescheduling
- • You may reschedule a session with at least 24 hours' notice at no cost.
- • Rescheduling with less than 24 hours' notice may incur a 50% session fee or count as a used session.
- • Requests to reschedule must be made in writing (email or WhatsApp) — not verbally during a session.
3. Cancellations & No-Shows
- • Cancellations made 24+ hours in advance: full credit refunded to your session balance.
- • Cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance: session is forfeited.
- • No-shows: If you do not join within 10 minutes of the scheduled start time, the session is marked as completed and forfeited.
4. Lateness
- • If you arrive late, the session will still end at the scheduled time. Time lost is not added to future sessions.
- • If your teacher arrives late, the missed time will be added to the session or credited to a future booking.
5. Session Duration
- • Sessions start and end at the agreed time.
- • Free demo sessions are 20–30 minutes.
- • Paid sessions are as described in your subscription or booking.
6. Preparation & Homework
- • Your teacher may assign drills or homework between sessions.
- • Completing these is essential to your progress and is your responsibility.
- • Drills not completed will be reviewed in the next session, which may reduce new content time.
7. Respectful Conduct
- • Both teacher and student agree to communicate respectfully.
- • Abusive, discriminatory, or harassing behaviour will result in immediate termination of the engagement without refund.
8. Technical Requirements
- • You are responsible for a stable internet connection, a working microphone, and a quiet environment.
- • Technical issues on your side do not extend the session.
- • Technical issues on the teacher's side will be made up or credited.
9. Recording Sessions
- • Sessions may not be recorded without the teacher's written consent.
- • See the Recording & Media Consent Policy for details.
