The International TEFL Organization
Terms and Conditions
Terms and Conditions for TEFL Courses and Franchise Earnings Disclaimer
Our TEFL courses and franchise opportunities are designed to help you build a successful and sustainable career in education, whether online or in Thailand. These are not "get rich quick" schemes, nor are they multi-level marketing (MLM) programs. Success requires dedication, effort, and adherence to our proven system. On average, it may take 3-6 months to achieve profitability in the franchise program, depending on your efforts, local market conditions, and business strategy.
While we provide comprehensive support and a proven model, individual results will vary. To give you confidence in your investment, we offer a Money-back guarantee for our franchise opportunity only: If you follow our system and fail to recoup your initial franchise investment within 12 months, we will buy back your franchise license in full, minus any earnings you’ve made. This guarantee underscores our confidence in our business model and our commitment to your success.
Non-Refundable Franchise Fees
Notwithstanding the money-back guarantee for franchises, the franchise fees are non-refundable under any circumstances. However, if the franchisee does not recoup their investment within 12 months, as outlined in the money-back guarantee, a refund may be considered in accordance with the terms of that guarantee. This policy ensures fairness and consistency for all franchisees.
Non-Refundable TEFL Course Fees
All TEFL course fees are strictly non-refundable under any circumstances. This policy ensures fairness and consistency for all students.
Course Rescheduling
Students enrolled in our TEFL courses may request to change their course start date without penalty, provided the request is made at least 14 days before the original start date. Rescheduling requests made within 14 days of the start date may incur additional administrative fees.
Code of Conduct
We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for abusive behavior, harassment, or any form of misconduct towards our staff, trainers, or fellow students and franchise partners. Any individual engaging in such behavior will face immediate expulsion from the program without a refund.
Similarly, false accusations or defamatory statements claiming our courses or franchise program are scams will not be tolerated. Such actions will result in immediate termination of enrollment or franchise agreements without recourse.
Commitment to Professionalism
Students and franchisees are expected to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, adhere to local regulations, and operate within the guidelines provided in our training and support materials. Non-compliance may result in penalties, including expulsion or the revocation of the franchise license.
Liability Disclaimer
While we provide comprehensive training and support for both TEFL courses and franchise operations, we are not liable for any losses incurred due to negligence, market conditions, or failure to follow the proven system. All decisions made in the operation of a franchise or use of course materials are the sole responsibility of the individual.
Transferability of Franchise License
Franchise licenses are lifetime and fully transferable. Franchisees may sell or transfer their license at any time, provided the new owner meets our eligibility criteria and agrees to our terms and conditions.
Amendments to Terms
We reserve the right to update these terms and conditions at any time. Students and franchisees will be notified of any significant changes in advance. Continued participation in the courses or franchise program constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
By enrolling in our TEFL courses or becoming a franchisee, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these terms and conditions.
