This privacy policy oversees your use of the website and the other associated products and services managed by the company. Please read this document carefully before using the website, our services and products, along with the other details provided here.

1. User Agreement Terms

The terms and conditions contained herein this document shall govern your use of this website, including all pages and study material within this website or shared during the live classes.

• Your use of the website or services through any modes or usage of any products, including through cell phones, tablets, or other storage/transmitting devices, shall signify your acceptance of this policy and your agreement to be legally bound by the same.
• In case of any objection to any of the standard terms and conditions mentioned here, you must withhold the use of the website or contact the concerned person through the chat box on the website.
• It is assured that the information found on IELTSMaterial and any other study material published by one of our authors is primarily meant to provide information or be used for preparation for the IELTS exam.
• The tips, strategies, methods of study, lessons, and resources are only recommendations from the author and so, any information on IELTSMaterial or any of the publications or other study material published is provided “as is”.

2. General Rules for Conduction of Online Classes 

The following set of guidelines are to be followed while attending the online classes delivered by IELTSMaterial:

2.1 Be Punctual

• It is recommended that the trainee must be punctual to all the online class sessions. If the trainee is more than 10 minutes late to the class, it means he/she will only get 50 minutes of that class.
• It is advised to be available 10 mins before the class timings.
• In case the trainee is 20 (or more) minutes late without any prior information to the trainer (and relationship manager), that class will be cancelled and will not be rescheduled in the future. Such a situation will lead to a “loss of class”.

2.2 Class Attending Etiquette 

• The trainee should be dressed appropriately for the class.
• A quiet background (anywhere with no or fewer disturbances) and a good setup are recommended. In other words, make use of a quiet room and a table and chair while attending the classes.
• The trainee must keep the video switched off while attending the online classes.
• The trainee is not allowed to record, publish or telecast or use the content of our website for any commercial, non-commercial and individual purposes.
• If we observe such behavioural violation, we may terminate or suspend your permission to use our platform or the services at any time, with or without notice.

2.3 Internet Connection

IELTSMaterial always ensures to do the best in serving the best quality services to the users and make their interaction hassle-free. Hence, the technical team always monitors the website for better performance. In certain cases, the portal can misbehave due to issues (a problem with the trainee’s computer or server issue), but that is not in the website’s control. As a result, it will not take the blame for such issues. So, it is recommended that the trainees attend the classes with a stable and good internet connection to ensure that the classes are happening smoothly. Any loss of connectivity due to a weak internet connection from their end is solely their responsibility.

3. Group class policy

Group classes at IELTSMaterial will contain 2-5 students, and the classes will be held on a regular basis. Therefore, it is recommended that the user fix their timings either morning or evening according to the week’s running classes. Time change and/or trainer change is not allowed.

4. Conditions for Class Scheduling and Rescheduling 

4.1 Class Scheduling

Please note that the class scheduling details discussed mutually in the orientation session would be considered final and no changes can be made in the days/timing of the classes post the orientation session.

4.2 Free Class Rescheduling

Rescheduling classes is not advised, but in case of emergencies, requests for class rescheduling should be put forward to the Relationship Manager and a ticket should be raised for the same. Please note that these requests should be raised 6 working hours prior to the scheduled class. In case the trainee fails to inform the relationship manager within this stipulated time, that class will be canceled due to his/her absence without information and no compensatory classes will be given.

Well, there is good news too!!

With every 6 classes the trainee purchases, he/she can get 1 free rescheduling.

4.3 Paid Class Rescheduling

In case the trainee has used all their free rescheduling, then a provision for paid rescheduling is provided. Every paid rescheduling would cost the trainee a sum of INR 400/-; if not, the class would stand canceled.

4.4 Group class student policy for rescheduling

• If a student misses any class, they can refer to the LMS portal, i.e., self-help materials for that particular topic. Trainers can also help students with doubt solving in the next session for 5-10 mins.
• If the whole batch mutually decides to miss a class due to public holidays or festivals, rescheduling can be done. But, only two such reschedulings would be allowed if the trainer is also free to take the class.
•  Any rescheduled class would need to be completed in the running week itself (Monday-Sunday).
• If an individual student wants to reattempt or redo a class they need to buy 1:1 sessions from their respective Class Relationship managers .

5. Communication

By using IELTSMaterial and providing identity and contact information through the website, the trainee agrees and consents to receive calls, emails, or SMS from any website representatives at any time.

The trainee expressly agrees that notwithstanding anything contained hereinabove, they may be contacted by us relating to any services availed by him/her on the website or anything according to it and he/she agrees to compensate us from any harassment claims.

7. Cancellation Policy 

IELTSMaterial takes great care to provide all necessary information regarding its products and services upfront on the website pages, emails, and counseling calls. In the event of cancellation of any of the services due to many reasons, including family issues, change of plan, health issues, etc., the trainee may inform his/her relationship manager and raise a ticket for the same. The matter will definitely be looked into and necessary steps will be taken as per the situation.

8. Class Deferral 

The trainee can use the class deferral policy when he/she wants to pause the classes for 3 or more sessions. To avail of class deferral, the trainee has to inform the relationship manager and raise a ticket for the same. In these circumstances, IELTSMaterial may not guarantee the same trainer (or same days/time of the classes) for the classes when he/she plans to restart the classes, but the best will be provided for better results.

9. Band Guarantee Program 

IELTSMaterial offers an exclusive band guarantee program (6.5 for IELTS Academic trainees and 7.5 for IELTS General trainees) when the trainee enrolls for the IELTS MASTER EXPERT PROGRAM or any other 2 or more months course.

Please go through the terms and conditions of the band guarantee program given below for clarity:

• The trainee is required to attend all the classes without any rescheduling or cancellation.
• He/she has to complete all the given tasks/assignments on time.
• He/she must attempt all the mock tests and submit the answers within the given timeline.
• He/she is required to complete the mock test in the timelines (2 hours 32 minutes for CBT and 2 hours 40 minutes for PBT). The speaking mock will be conducted in the live classes with the standard time guidelines.
• It would be best if the trainee did not breach any of the standard terms and conditions of IELTSMaterial.
• He/she must appear for the exam within 2 weeks of the course completion date.
• If the trainer recommends that the trainee needs a few more classes to prepare for the IELTS test, he/she should upgrade the course for the prescribed sessions to be eligible for the band guarantee program.

When the trainee adheres to the terms and conditions of the band guarantee program, he/she will either get free classes in that module where they have scored less than the desired band (For Academics- L-8, W-7, S-7, R-7 and cumulative 6.5 bands in academic) or will get a refund of the fee for that module.

Please note that the refund of fees under the band guarantee program has the following clauses:

• GST amount is not refundable.
• Any course that consists of study material worth INR 2965/- is non-refundable.
• The processing charge comprises 20% of the total course fees taken (exclusive of GST) and is non-refundable.

Example:  If you have purchased a course for INR 23600/- (20000/- plus GST). In case you are preparing for a General test and the scores you get are L-8, W-6.5, S-7, R-7. The refund will be processed as per the following calculation.

Refund Amount = (((Total Fees – GST) – 20% Processing Fees) – Study Material Fee)/4

In this case, the refund amount would be INR 3258/-

IELTSMaterial GIS will commit to refunding the fee after scrutiny based on the refund request applied by the candidate. But there are certain grounds on which a refund is not plausible, which are:

• Processing delays: The client has to understand that the processing delays of his / her application for a Permanent Resident Visa are at the Visa Office’s discretion and pleasure, and IELTSMaterial GIS cannot fasten the process.
• Inability to follow Instructions: The client must follow all instructions and guidelines given and provided by IELTSMaterial GIS during filing and processing until the visa offices finally dispose of the file. If, in any case, the application is rejected due to incorrect details, the responsibility does not lie with IELTSMaterial GIS.
• Job search or employment: IELTSMaterial GIS does not give and has not given assurance for any kind of service for job search or employment of any sort within India or post landing in Canada or for acceptance of immigration application. Help of every sort will be provided, but the finalization depends on the demands of the job market and the employers.
• Success guarantee: IELTSMaterial GIS does not promise success at any specific stage of the application process. The client should acknowledge that granting of visa or status and the time required for processing this application is at the sole discretion of the concerned government agency and not IELTSMaterial GIS.
• Modifications in Immigration policy or regulations: IELTSMaterial GIS has no control over any changes – current or future – in selection criteria that occur after this agreement’s date. Such modifications may include but are not limited to a change in pass mark or a retroactive application of new laws etc and may disqualify the client’s application.
• Settlement funds: Demonstration of possession of sufficient liquid funds before visa issuance or at any time during the application processing is a crucial step under the requirements for settlement in a foreign country like Canada. So, the client has to confirm that he/she can meet the related requirements in liquid forms, such as savings accounts, fixed deposit receipts, etc and IELTSMaterial GIS will not be responsible for funding.

Just in case you want to cancel any of our services, you will have to put forth an appeal and request a refund mentioning the reason for such action. We will undertake a thorough investigation into the reasons and necessary steps will be taken in accordance with the finds. Under normal circumstances, once paid, the fees are non-refundable. But if it fits either of the following cases, as they are occasional occurrences in all e-commerce situations, the amount is refunded within 7 working days of the notification of error:

1. a) Payment gateway errors.
2. b) Getting charged twice for the same course.

Please note that refunds involve administrative charges and charges for expenses done until that point, which will be deducted before the issue.
