Rihisi REFUND AND PAYMENT POLICY
Your purchase of and payment for lessons/group classes shall be regulated by this Refund and
Payment Policy.
PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY BEFORE MAKING A PAYMENT AS IT DETERMINES
YOUR RIGHTS WITH REGARD TO YOUR PURCHASES, INCLUDING ESSENTIAL
RESTRICTIONS AND EXCLUSIONS.
Rihisi strives to ensure a clear understanding of financial relations between Students and
Tutors with respect to the services we provide. This policy applies to all services and features
made available through the Website and any related Rihisi mobile device application
(collectively, the “Rihisi Platform”). Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall
have the respective meanings ascribed to them in Rihisi Terms of Service.
Tutor-Student Transactions
Rihisi facilitates contracts between Users (Students and Tutors) by supplying a platform to
request, deliver and pay for tutoring services. Rihisi is only a platform and in no event shall
be a party to any contracts between Tutors and Students, or be responsible for any other
service or materials provided by a Tutor. Rihisi will in no way be responsible for monitoring
any transactions between Students and Tutors.
Billing Currency and Foreign Exchange Risk
Payment transactions will be processed in one of the available currencies as shown at
checkout. Currently, the currencies available to make payments are USD, EUR, and GBP.
For your convenience prices may also be shown in your local currency other than USD, EUR,
and GBP. In this case, the payment transactions will be processed in USD. The prices you see
in currencies other than USD, EUR, or GBP are indicative (for guidance only).
Note that if your selected currency is (a) other than USD, EUR, GBP, or (b) different from
your payment method’s billing currency, your payment may be processed outside of your
country of residence. As a result, certain fees may apply, such as international transaction
fees and foreign exchange fees, and the amount listed on your bank statement may be
different from the amount shown at checkout.
Rihisi shall not be responsible for any such fees and currency fluctuations and Rihisi hereby
disclaims all liability in that regard.
We suggest you contact your bank or credit card company if you have any questions about
the fees or the applicable exchange rates.
Rihisi Commission
We charge a service fee to the Tutors for the use of our services (“Rihisi Commission”).
Rihisi Commission is charged on each lesson conducted by the Tutor at the rate indicated on
the Rihisi Platform. Rihisi reserves the right to change Rihisi Commission at any time and
will notify the Tutors of any fee changes before they become effective.
Processing Fee
Rihisi charges the Students a processing fee for the use of the Rihisi Platform. The
processing fee will be applied to each purchase made on the Rihisi Platform and shall be
equal to 5% of the total purchase amount, but in no event shall exceed $10 USD. The
applicable processing fee will be displayed at checkout.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Rihisi may change the fees for your use of the Rihisi
Platform for promotional offers or new products, and such changes will be effective when
posted on the Website or as communicated via email correspondence.
The processing fee is non-refundable.
We reserve the right to change the processing fee at any time and will provide the Students
with notice of any fee changes before they become effective.
Refunds
You are required to send your refund request to support@Rihisi.com
If there are extenuating circumstances that caused you to miss the lesson/group class or
cancel it at short notice, these refunds can be made at the Tutor's discretion, but the Tutor is
not obligated to do so.
Rihisi is not responsible for any kind of fee charged by banks or third-party payment
processors, and will not cover it when initiating a refund.
In case you choose a refund option, its speed and the availability of refunded funds on your
bank account will depend solely on the terms and policies of your bank. The exact refund
amount will depend on the USD to your payment method’s currency exchange rate valid at
the date the refund is initiated.
You may receive only one refund per request.
No refund will be issued if the User has lost and/or forgotten their login credentials
(username and passwords), which has resulted in the loss of data, temporary loss of access to
the User's account, or any other inconveniences for the User.
No refund will be issued in case the User has lost connection due to the absence of Internet
access, factory reset, or updates.
In case you failed to submit a refund request within the stated period, you can still request us
to return the credits to your Rihisi account balance. Such credits may subsequently be used to
schedule lessons/group classes with any other Tutor.

We use an integrated iframe for checkouts from third-party payment processors, and Tutors
get payment for each confirmed lesson/group class. Correspondingly all transactions are
secured as third-party payment processors use SSL encryption protection.
