Terms and Conditions for Tutorial Service at Fort Bend Learning Commons

By registering for our tutorial service, please carefully review and acknowledge the following terms and conditions:

1. Consent for Participation. By enrolling in the tutorial service, I understand and give consent for the participant to participate in the educational activities and receive instruction from the assigned tutor.
2. Responsibility and Liability. I acknowledge that the tutorial service is not liable for any loss, damage, or injury that may occur during the sessions. I understand that it is my responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of the participant during the tutorial sessions.
3. Timeliness and Attendance. I understand the importance of punctuality and regular attendance for the effectiveness of the tutorial service. I will make every effort to ensure that the participant arrives on time for the scheduled sessions and notifies the tutor in advance of any absences or schedule changes. Lost time due to a student’s late arrival will not be made up.
4. Confidentiality. I agree to maintain the confidentiality of any proprietary or confidential information shared during the tutorial sessions. I will not disclose, reproduce, or distribute any materials provided by the tutor without prior written consent.
5. Academic Integrity. I acknowledge that the tutorial service promotes academic integrity and ethical conduct. I will ensure that the child engages in the sessions with honesty, respect for intellectual property, and adherence to academic standards.
6. Parental/Guardian Involvement. I understand that parental or guardian involvement is crucial for the success of the tutorial service. I commit to actively supporting the participant’s learning process, communicating with the tutor, and providing necessary materials or resources as requested.
7. Changes or Cancellations by FBLC. I understand that the tutorial service may need to make changes or cancellations due to unforeseen circumstances. I will be notified in advance regarding any schedule modifications and will work with the tutor to reschedule sessions, if necessary.
8. Absence Policy. I understand that as a parent, guardian, or student, I must notify FBLC of any absence by email (fblc.tx@gmail.com) or phone (832.820.2339). Students may take up to six (6) Informed Absences (notified at least 24 hours in advance) and two (2) Sick Absences (less than 24 hours in advance) per school year with no surcharge.
9. No-show. I understand that if a lesson is canceled without a 24-hour advance notice, it will be considered a No Show. No make-up lesson will be offered. The lesson will be refunded but a $30 fee will be charged for no-show.
10. Inclement Weather. I understand that students may request an absence and make-up lessons if the National Weather Service issues an ADVISORY or WARNING for weather conditions such as tornado, severe thunderstorm, tropical storm, hurricane, flash flood, flood, blizzard, winter storm, freezing rain, ice storm, or winter weather. If traffic conditions remain hazardous after any natural disaster, I acknowledge that students should remain home or at a safe place and notify FBLC at the earliest convenience.
11. Payment Policy. I acknowledge that as the parent/guardian of the student(s), I am responsible for submitting payment as indicated on the invoice on or before the specified due date. The due date of the monthly payment is on the monthly invoice. All payments must be submitted in full. Payment can be made by cash, check, or electronically by Zelle or Venmo. Instructions are listed on each invoice.
12. Late Payment. I understand that a late fee of $20 will be imposed when the grace period expires. FBLC offers a 3-day grace period if payment is not submitted in full by the due date.
13. Nonpayment. If no payment is received by the 15th day of the month, I understand that lessons will be suspended until payment, including the late fee, is paid in full. In the event of nonpayment for the second time, I acknowledge that I will be required to pay a $200 deposit in addition to the overdue payment. The deposit will be applied to the final month of service (May). If no payment is received by the 20th day of the month, I understand that the student is considered completely withdrawn and will not be able to enroll again in the same school year.
14. Temporary Withdrawal. I understand that a temporary withdrawal is permitted with a required two-week notice in advance. The maximum time span for temporary withdrawal is 30 days. During the temporary withdrawal period, I am aware that the unused portion of tutorial payment will be withheld. If the student does not resume lessons after the 30-day temporary withdrawal period, I understand that the student will be considered as completely withdrawn. The unused tuition fee will be refunded, minus a $15 processing fee. The refund will be released in the form of a check and sent to the student’s address of record within two weeks upon complete withdrawal.
15. Complete Withdrawal. I understand that a complete withdrawal must be formally requested by mail or email with a required two-week notice. Any unused tuition fee will be refunded, minus a $15 processing fee. The refund will be released in the form of a check and sent to the student’s address of record within two weeks upon complete withdrawal.
16. Study Session. I understand that students need to sign up for Homework Help / Study Sessions on the FBLC website. I will do so at my earliest convenience. If I have a schedule conflict that may affect attendance of my signed-up session, I will promptly remove my sign-up to allow other students to sign up for the available slot(s).

By signing my name below, I confirm that I have read, understood, and agree to comply with the above terms and conditions for the tutorial service. I also affirm that I have the legal authority to provide consent for the participant’s participation.
