Payment & Refund Policy

Online Courses:
Subscription starts on the same day of payment. When you register for our online program, you are charged recurring fees. By ‘recurring,’ this means that your credit/debit card will automatically be charged as per the pricing and recurring cycle you choose (1 month, 3 months, 6 months). You may request a full refund within 3 days of registration (not within 3 days of being billed). With regards stopping the recurring billing, you need to request that we stop the recurring payment by sending an email to info@arabacademy.com one week before “billing” is due, but not afterwards. Refunds or making up for non-usage of the program or the one on one classes are not possible.

Onsite Courses:
– Payment for the program is in advance.
– When a student is absent, our policy does not allow for make-up classes as we do block the space and the teachers for the student.
– The student may request 75% refund 3 weeks before the start date of the program. After that, only 50% refund may be given up to the first day of classes. After the classes start no refunds are given.
