If the provision of information necessary for cancellation processing is delayed, the actual processing time may be delayed, and the applicable fee rate may change accordingly.
4.

a.
For penalty amounts not resolved by the following month, the Company may request a separate payment.

In cases of long-term non-resolution, such as failure to comply with penalty payment requests, the Company may terminate the agreement, and even in such cases, outstanding penalties shall be fulfilled through full payment.
5.
Penalty amounts borne by Teacher Members may be utilized as customer benefits after deducting issue processing costs.

Article 4 (Class Cancellation Fee)

If the Teacher Member provides a unilateral notice and the customer does not agree or does not respond, the agreement shall be deemed not to have been established.

a.
If a cancellation or specific customer cancellation is requested at a time close to the Class start (within 48 hours), the request may not be processed due to operational reasons.

1/2 or more of the total Class completed: (per-session settlement price x number of remaining sessions x 10%)

Article 6 (Fines for Teacher Member Fault)

1.
If issues arise (tardiness, absence (no-show), interruption, etc.) due to a Teacher Member's fault during a live Class, the Teacher Member shall pay a fine according to the criteria for each type of fault.
2.
In the course of handling a Teacher Member's fault, class schedule cancellations and refunds may be processed depending on the circumstances, with the applicable unit varying by Class type as follows:

Even if a make-up session is conducted for the duration not covered, this shall not constitute grounds for fine exemption.
