Before the class the Client receives notification to their email about the upcoming class and has the sole responsibility to join the class on time.
If the Client does not show up to a class due to technical issues, the Company will arrange for a compensatory class if the Client has reached out to the Company at least 6 hours before the scheduled class. In case technical issues are experienced during or immediately before the class, the Company will arrange for a compensatory class, if the reported issue is found true and is validated by the Company.
If the class cannot be conducted due to technical issues on the Company’s side, the next class is scheduled at the school's expense and without any charges of the Client’s credits.
In this case, a paid lesson credit is not withdrawn, and the lesson schedule will be maintained and extended to accommodate one more lesson to be taken within the agreed schedule.
The teacher has the right to postpone or cancel a class (in case of illness and for other valid reasons). In this case, the Company will provide the Client with a voice call or an e-mail message at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance of the class being postponed or canceled. Brighterly has the right to consider the Client’s request to change the teacher if the teacher, in the opinion of the Client, reschedules classes too often.
If within five minutes of the scheduled time the class has not started because the teacher is not there, the Client must contact the Company via SMS at +17246078448 or via email at [email protected]. A class not held due to the fault of the teacher will be rescheduled to another time acceptable to the Client. If the teacher does not show up for the class, the next class is scheduled at the school's expense.
Classes Execution

The Client is able to join the Class via the Platform or via the link provided in the notification email by clicking on the “Enter class” button. In order to start the Class, both the Teacher and the Student shall be present in the virtual classroom.
Only the presence of the Child is mandatory during Classes, however parents/guardians are recommended to be present at Classes for the first 4 or 5 Classes to help the Student to get familiar with the interface of the Platform as well as with the Teacher.
All the paid classes are being recorded for quality purposes. Recordings are not shared with any third parties.
Teacher Change
A student transfer can happen under various circumstances, such as unavailability of time slots on the teacher’s side, request for change of teacher, discontinuation of classes by a teacher, teacher work pause, etc. The Company will inform the Client about the change of the teacher via email or by phone.
The Company may change a teacher on the Client's initiative, but no more than once per month.

The Client has the right to replace the teacher by sending the request to the Company via SMS at +17246078448 or via email at [email protected] and provide the reason for replacement.
In case of a teacher change, the Company reserves the right to agree with the Client on a new schedule if the new teacher’s schedule cannot accommodate the schedule of the Client.
