Refund Policy
This Refund Policy explains when a course payment can be refunded, how started support is reviewed, and how cancellations, rescheduling, no-shows, materials and payment issues are handled after learner-fit confirmation.
Refund Policy Summary
These points explain the main refund rules before you read the detailed sections below.
Payment is requested only after the free demo or initial review and after the team confirms that the learner is suitable for the agreed support path.
A verified course payment is fully refundable if paid support has not started and no paid session has been attended or missed as a scheduled no-show.
After paid support starts, refund requests are reviewed case by case using support delivered, unused support, participation and relevant facts.
School and institutional payments may follow separate written proposal, invoice, purchase-order or agreement terms confirmed before program begins.
Effective Date and Last Updated
Effective date: 26 August 2026.
Last updated: 26 August 2026.
The refund terms confirmed at payment or booking govern that transaction together with any written joining confirmation or school agreement.
Who This Policy Applies To
This policy applies to standard paid handwriting-support plans booked through CursiveClasses.in after the free demo or initial review and learner-fit confirmation.
When the learner is a child, the parent or guardian who makes the payment is treated as the responsible payer for refund and cancellation communication.
Payments may be processed by Max eSmart Pvt. Ltd. where applicable; school programs follow the entity and terms named in their written commercial documents.
Demo-First and Payment-After-Fit Rule
The normal public learner journey begins with a free demo or initial writing review, which helps the team understand the current handwriting need and learner fit.
A paid plan, payment link or joining confirmation is shared only after the team decides that the proposed live handwriting-support path is suitable for the learner.
The confirmed support term, payment method, start plan and key rescheduling or refund conditions should be clear before the payer completes the course payment.
Full Refund Before Paid Support Starts
- A verified course payment is eligible for a full course-fee refund when paid support has not started and no paid session has been attended.
- The payment and booking details must be verified before the refund is approved and the course booking is closed.
- A scheduled first paid session missed as a no-show is no longer treated as an unused pre-start booking for automatic full-refund purposes.
After Paid Support Starts
Once a paid session has been attended, the booking is treated as started support rather than an unused booking.
A refund request after support starts is reviewed using the support already delivered, unused support, attendance, participation, materials and communication history.
Where appropriate, support adjustment or additional guidance may be considered first; any guarantee concern follows the confirmed guarantee terms and is not an automatic refund.
Rescheduling, No-Shows and Emergencies
- A learner or payer should request a session reschedule at least 24 hours before the scheduled session, subject to trainer and slot availability.
- A scheduled session missed without the required notice is treated as a no-show, even though it is not recorded as an attended teaching session.
- A no-show is not automatically counted as a consumed teaching session, but the booking is no longer treated as an unused pre-start booking for refund purposes.
- Genuine emergencies may be considered with reasonable flexibility, while repeated missed sessions may affect scheduling and support continuity.
Cancellation by Learner or Family
A learner or family may request cancellation before paid support begins by contacting the support team with the booking and payment details.
If the full-refund-before-start conditions are satisfied, the payment is handled under the pre-start refund rule in this policy.
If support has already started or the first paid slot was missed as a no-show, the request moves to the started-support review path.
Cancellation by CursiveClasses.in or Trainer
If CursiveClasses.in or the assigned trainer cannot deliver a confirmed paid step, the team may offer a suitable reschedule or another reasonable delivery option.
If the affected paid support cannot reasonably be delivered, the unused part may be refunded after reviewing what, if anything, has already been provided.
Partial Refund Review
After support starts, any partial refund is reviewed case by case rather than by an automatic percentage formula.
- Paid sessions or trainer review already delivered.
- Unused support remaining in the confirmed plan.
- Learner attendance, participation and practice follow-through.
- Worksheets, materials or learner-specific preparation already provided.
- Communication history, learner-plan fit and any reasonable support adjustment already offered.
Physical Materials and Worksheets
- Digital or included worksheets form part of the support path and do not create a separate refund right once paid support has started.
- If physical books or a toolkit have not been dispatched, no physical-material deduction should be applied to an otherwise approved refund.
- If physical materials have been dispatched, only a material or shipping deduction disclosed before payment or in the joining confirmation can apply.
- Opened or used learning materials are not promised as automatically returnable, and any return arrangement must be confirmed with support.
School and Institutional Programs
School workshops, class-wise training, materials support, faculty support and year-long programs may follow a separate written quotation, proposal, invoice, purchase order or institutional agreement.
Before a school payment, the school should confirm scope, dates, class levels, student count, materials, trainer time, rescheduling, cancellation and refund or adjustment terms in writing.
If a school program has started, refund or adjustment review may consider preparation, materials, trainer allocation, delivered sessions, school-side changes and the written terms for that engagement.
Duplicate or Incorrect Payments
A duplicate, incorrect or unmatched payment should be reported promptly with enough transaction information for the team to locate and verify it.
After verification, an incorrect or duplicate payment may be corrected or refunded using the applicable payment-processing route.
Refund Request Process
To start a refund or payment review, contact support with enough information to locate the correct booking.
- Learner or payer name linked to the booking.
- Approximate payment date.
- Transaction or payment reference, when available.
- A short explanation of the refund or payment concern.
Refund Review and Processing
Refund requests are reviewed after the information needed to identify the payment, booking and relevant support history has been received.
An approved refund is normally returned to the original payment method used by the payer.
If the original method cannot technically receive the refund, an alternative verified bank or UPI method may be used after payer verification.
Banks, payment gateways and processors may take additional time to reflect an initiated refund, and those downstream settlement times are outside direct control.
Chargebacks and Payment Disputes
Users are encouraged to contact support first so a payment or refund concern can be reviewed and, where possible, resolved without duplicate dispute processes.
If a formal chargeback or payment dispute is opened, the team may pause duplicate internal refund processing while that external process remains active.
Policy Changes and Version Rule
This Refund Policy may be updated when payment, support or operational rules change, and later versions apply to future bookings and future site use.
A later website update does not silently replace the refund or financial terms already confirmed for an existing paid booking or written school engagement.
Where applicable law requires a different treatment, the mandatory legal requirement will apply to the extent required.
