3. Notwithstanding anything in these General Terms, the Student is not entitled to receive any Curio curriculum materials (in whatever form or whatever media) for any Registered Course(s) which he or she has not paid for. In the event that the Student is registered for any of the Registered Course(s) after an Academic Year / term has begun, the Student shall be entitled to receive the curriculum materials only from the date on which he or she begins attending the Registered Course(s).
4. Classes will not be held on the eve of Chinese New Year and any other public holiday which may be gazetted by the Government of Singapore from time to time. Make-up classes will be scheduled. No refund of course fees will be given in lieu of any classes which would otherwise have been held on the aforementioned days. Nevertheless, the curriculum material for these public holidays will still be made available for students’ completion, and will be marked by the teachers and covered in the subsequent weeks.
5. There is no refund on any part of the monthly / termly course fees in the event that the Student fails to attend any class(es) in the Registered Course(s) for any reason whatsoever. Subject to these General Terms and in the event that the Student does not turn up for class(es) and the fees for that month / term remain unpaid, the Deposit shall be used to offset any unpaid fees. Any balance remaining after this offset of Deposit remains payable to us.
Make-Up Classes
6. In the event that the Student fails to attend a class in any of our courses, Curio may at its sole discretion, allow the Student to make-up the missed lesson by attending another on-going class within the same Centre during the same academic week (i.e. from Monday to Sunday), PROVIDED THAT:
(a) There is more than 1 class of the same level and subject within that Centre; (b) There is a vacancy in the class that the Student intends to attend as the make-up class;
7. In the event that it is not possible to arrange a make-up class due to no vacancy in other class(es), the course fee(s) for the relevant Registered Course shall not be refunded or pro-rated, even if the Student has valid reason(s) for missing the class.
8. There will be no make-up classes or refund of fees if the Centre closes or if there is a closure of classes due to an outbreak of contagious diseases (e.g. SARS, Covid-19) or other unforeseen circumstances beyond our control.

A written notice of withdrawal must be received at least one Calendar Month before the Student’s withdrawal from any of the Registered Course(s), and the Deposit will be used to offset the course fees due for the relevant notice period, if applicable. In the event that less than one Calendar Month is given, no part of the Deposit will be refunded.
10. In the event that a Parent decides to withdraw the Student (regardless of reasons) before the Registered Course(s) commence(s), the Deposit will be refunded in full? Forfeited? The one Calendar Month written notice in clause 9 will not be applicable in this case.

Any transfer can only take effect on the first lesson of the following calendar month.
