HeSheLearn reserves the right to change this payment percentage. If HeSheLearn changes the commission fee, we will notify you via email or prominent notice on the Services.

So that Company can pay you in a timely manner, you must have a bank account in Hong Kong or a bank account outside Hong Kong that is supported by TransferWise. Payment will be made within 14 days after the 1-on-1 class has ended or all the lessons in the group course has ended. If there is any dispute of the course raised by the students or the Instructor, the corresponding payment would be held until the dispute is resolved.

In the event that a Student requests a refund for a Course after HeSheLearn has sent an Instructor payment for that Course, HeSheLearn reserves the right to either (1) deduct the amount of such refund from the next payment to be sent to that Instructor, or (2) require that Instructor to refund any amounts refunded to Students for Instructor's Course to the extent no additional payments are due from HeSheLearn to Instructor or such payments due to the Instructor are insufficient to cover the amounts refunded to Students.
