    5.2. THE CLASSES

    5.2.1. Trial Class

    Before purchasing a Payment Construction, Novakid will hold a Trial Class for the User. Trial Classes are aimed to familiarize the Student and the User with the Platform, as well as to determine the level of English proficiency of the Student.

The completion of the Trial Class is mandatory for the Student to begin learning at a higher level.

    The Teacher of the Trial Class, contrary to the provisions set forth under section 5.2.2 of the present GTC, is selected by Novakid, and is not subject to the decision of the User. The User is permitted to postpone or cancel a Trial Class not later than 8 that is eight hours before the start of the Trial Class. The User’s failure to meet this specified deadline shall mean that the User agrees to the time of the Trial Class. If at the time set for starting the Trial Class the User is unavailable within the initial 5 that is five minutes, the Teacher may stop waiting for the User, and the Trial Class shall be considered to have been held. In this case, Novakid may refuse to hold a repeated Trial Class for the User.

    After the Trial Class, Novakid may recommend a Teacher as well as a Class schedule for the Student depending on the Student’s proficiency. Novakid’s assessment of the Student’s English proficiency may differ from the assessment that the User previously received from a third party.

    5.2.2. Selecting a Teacher and scheduling the Classes

    The User is allowed to select from the Teachers available depending on the Student's proficiency in English language and the desired schedule of the User.

However, if the User fails to pay the Subscription 24, that is twenty-four hours before the start of the Class, the reservation shall be cancelled.

    The User may later request Novakid to change the Teacher and shall provide the reasons for such request. The Service Provider reserves the right to refuse such request of the User. In case the User refuses to take the Classes with the provided Teacher, the User may suspend the Classes in line with section 5.2.4 of the present GTC.

The User is able to join a Class via the Platform at the starting time of the Class 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.

    The Class lasts for 25, that is twenty-five minutes from the scheduled starting time. If the User or the Teacher faces technical difficulties during the Class, for example they lose their internet connection and get disconnected, they are able to reconnect to the Class in the scheduled timeframe.

    Only the presence of the Student is mandatory during the Classes, however Service Provider advises the User to be present at the Classes for the first 4 or 5 Classes of the Student to help the Student to get familiar with the interface of the Platform as well as the Teacher.

    The Classes shall be held in the English language, and the Teacher is prohibited to use any other language during the Class, except when the User or the Student faces technical difficulties.

    During the Classes, both the Student and the User should comply with the E-Safety Policy of the Service Provider. The video and photos of the Classes are recorded by the Service Provider in accordance with the Policy, and therefore the Classes are re-watchable by the Users and the Students to repeat the lesson.

    At the end of every Class, the Teacher may provide the Student with homework which is preferably required to be done on the Platform by the next Class of the Student. In order to leave the virtual Classroom, the Student or the User should click on the “X” symbol on the top right corner in the browser’s window or click on the “Exit” button on the bottom right corner of the virtual Classroom.

    The Class is considered to be conducted properly if the User has not notified The Service Provider about a complaint against the quality of the Class within 24, that is twenty-four hours from the time of the Class. The Service Provider reserves the right to consider the User's complaint on an individual basis and, if there are valid reasons, to return the lesson to the User’s Balance.

    5.2.4. Cancellation and postponement of Classes

    Cancellation and postponement of the Classes by the User without a loss of Balance may be arranged not later than 8, that is eight hours before the start of the Class.

The number of possible postponements and/or cancellations of Classes without losing a place in the Teacher’s schedule depends on the intensity of the User’s Class schedule.

    In such a case, if there is no available time in the Teacher’s schedule within the period of 7, that is seven days, the User shall lose the place in the schedule and one Class shall be written off from the User’s Balance. In case of postponement or cancellation of an already postponed Class (postponed for less than 8, that is eight hours and not later than 1, that is one hour before the start of the Class), one Class shall be written off from the User’s Balance. Novakid reserves its right to consider the User’s appeal if there is no time available in the Teacher’s schedule.

    The Teacher shall have the right to postpone and cancel Classes, having informed Novakid in advance. In this case, a substitute Teacher shall be assigned to the Class if the User accepts substitutions in his account.

    If a substitute Teacher is not found for a Class, the User will be notified by the Service Provider of the cancellation and a Class will not be written off from the User’s Balance.

    5.2.5. Absence from the Classes

    If the Student is absent from the Class on the Platform at the starting time scheduled for it, the Teacher shall wait for the Student for 25, that is twenty-five minutes. If the Student fails to start the Class in this timeframe, or if the User fails to notify the Service Provider in advance of the Student’s impossibility to attend the Class, this Class shall be considered to have been held and shall be written off from the Balance of the User.
