-
Subject to availability and Xpertly's discretion, the order shall be accepted without undue delay.

Information related to accepted payment methods is made available during the purchasing process.
Some payment methods may only be available subject to additional conditions or fees. In such cases, related information can be found in the dedicated section of this Platform.

USER RIGHTS​
Right of Withdrawal:
Unless exceptions apply, the User may be eligible to withdraw from the contract within the period specified below (generally 14 days), for any reason and without justification. Users can learn more about the withdrawal conditions within this section.
​
Who the Right of Withdrawal Applies to:
Unless any applicable exception is mentioned below, European Consumers are granted a statutory cancellation right under EU rules to withdraw from contracts entered into online (distance contracts) within the specified period applicable to their case, for any reason and without justification.
​
Users that do not fit this qualification cannot benefit from the rights described in this section.
​
Exercising the Right of Withdrawal:
To exercise their right of withdrawal, Users must send Xpertly an unequivocal statement of their intention to withdraw from the contract.
​
To this end, Users may use the model withdrawal form available from within the "definitions" section of this document. Users are, however, free to express their intention to withdraw from the contract by making an unequivocal statement in any other suitable way. In order to meet the deadline within which they can exercise such rights, Users must send the withdrawal notice before the withdrawal period expires.
​
When does the withdrawal period expire?
-
In case of purchase of any service not supplied in a tangible medium, the withdrawal period expires 14 days after the day that the contract is entered into unless the User has waived the withdrawal right.
​
Effects of Withdrawal:
Xpertly will reimburse users who correctly withdraw from a contract for all payments made to Xpertly, including, if any, those covering the costs of delivery.
​
However, any additional costs resulting from choosing a particular refundable method other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by Xpertly's Third Parties will not be reimbursed.
​
Unless otherwise agreed with the User, reimbursements will be made using the same means of payment as used to process the initial transaction. Such refund shall be made without undue delay and, in any event, no later than 14 days from the day Xpertly is informed of the User's decision to withdraw from the contract. In any event, the User shall not incur any costs or fees due to such reimbursement.
Refunds:
Due to the digital nature of the business and services, we can provide limited refunds on any purchases.
Xpertly offers a Refund Policy that is Fair and Equitable.
​
Upon enrolling in our Platform and purchasing any of our services, a student enters a legal agreement under common law. They agree to abide by the conditions of enrollment in exchange for the Service offered by Xpertly in delivering the Student plan needed for completion.
​
Please note changes in your circumstances are not the responsibility of Xpertly, and neither can Xpertly be held liable for changes in your circumstances.
​
In a situation where a student wishes to cancel or change their purchased package, and as a measure of goodwill, Xpertly will allow the following options. A student may only take up one of these options once.
Standard conditions for refunds include:
-
Time limitations
-
Liability
-
Exceptions for long term customers
Within 14 Days:
-
For a period of 14 days from enrollment, a full refund will be given on the total amount paid for the purchased Service at the time of cancellation. The student must notify Xpertly's administration department in writing, and the email is received within 14 days, either by email, mail, or delivered in person.
-
If you apply for a refund after 14 days, our refund policy does not apply. However, you will have the option to change your Service to another without incurring additional charges, unless an upgrade of level is needed.
-
The onus is on the student to ensure and confirm that written notification of withdrawal is lodged. Xpertly will not be responsible for messages going astray.
Within 28 Days:
-
For a period of 28 days following receipt of purchase, a student may apply for special consideration; to swap their existing teacher for another new teacher.
-
The process for special consideration must be made in writing (not by telephone) and be accompanied by an email explaining why the student wants to change teacher.
-
These options only apply if the student has not yet purchased any extra services.
-
An administration fee of 50.00 Euros will apply in these circumstances and add up from the total amount paid.
-
Xpertly will provide credit for monies paid for the original purchased Service against the new Service (i.e., new Level or Teacher) but will not give any monetary refund or credit against other purchases.
-
Following written notification by Xpertly of acceptance, all notes on the intended goals and student profile will be passed on to the new teacher. The delivery time for this transition is one week to be valid and in place.
Within 2 Months:
-
For a period up to 2 months following receipt of the purchased package, a student may apply to transfer their package of remaining lessons to a friend, relative, or colleague who they have found and who agrees to take over the enrollment.
-
An application for special consideration must be made in writing (not by telephone) and accompanied by an explanation email.
-
These options only apply if the student has not yet purchased any other extra services.
-
An administration fee of 75.00 Euros (Including new student profiling and handling new lesson plan costs ) will apply in these circumstances.
Other Times:
The student may apply to defer their studies for a six or 12-month period during enrollment. Such an application must be supported in writing by documentation that explains why they cannot continue their studies for a period of time (e.g., email of explanation). Recommencement fees may apply; don't hesitate to contact us for more details.
​
Exceptional Circumstances:
Where a refund request is made outside of Xpertly's refund period described above, Xpertly might consider such requests. Each request is different, and the decision to grant a Goodwill (ex gratia) payment is made by a committee and not anyone individual. The Committee is composed of staff members from Xpertly.
However, we suggest that if you have issues, you let us try to help you before proceeding with any action – submit an email support ticket to xpertlybusiness@gmail.com or call (+351) 931379593 before you decide to cancel. Often it's a simple fix to get things up and running for you again or to determine why something broke for you (which happens all the time online) – we're here to help.
​
If you feel that you were inappropriately charged for a service or product or would like to speak to someone about a refund for a different reason, please submit an email support ticket to xpertlybusiness@gmail.com or call (+351) 931379593.
​
Accounts that have been canceled/terminated by Xpertly for violating our terms of service do not qualify for a refund. For example, if your account is canceled due to unprofessional behavior, you will not be given any refund. We believe strongly in upholding good and moral etiquette in all online proceedings and encourage our clients to do the same.
