Terms & Conditions
Welcome to our friendly Terms and Conditions. We want to ensure that everything is clear and easy to understand, so please let us know if anything is missing or not clear enough.
1General Information
This website and its services are operated by The Trustee for The Lorenzon Ferraz Family Trust (ABN: 857 67 198 441), also known as ptewhat. By purchasing or using our services, you agree to these Terms and Conditions.
2Course Structure
Memberships
Memberships include access to recorded lessons, weekly live classes, practice materials, and optional one-on-one sessions. Some memberships may include private lesson credits that must be used during the membership period.
Initial Course
The initial course grants access for 2 months. During this time, students can attend live sessions, watch all recorded content, use the practice platform, and enjoy all other included resources. This initial course is a one-time subscription that ends automatically at the end of the 2 months, with no automatic renewal or recurring billing.
Renewals and Weekly Subscriptions
After completing or purchasing the initial course, students can reactivate a weekly subscription at any time. The weekly subscription plan renews automatically each week and can be cancelled at any time from the student dashboard.
3Payments and Subscriptions
Payments are processed securely via Stripe. All prices include GST where applicable.
The initial course is a one-time subscription that ends automatically after its two-month duration, with no recurring billing.
The weekly subscription plan renews automatically each billing cycle unless cancelled before the renewal date through the student dashboard.
4Access to Courses and Platform
Access to all membership content begins immediately once payment has been successfully confirmed. If payment processing is delayed or unsuccessful, access will begin only after confirmation is complete.
Access to the practice platform is provided through a trusted third-party partner. It may take up to 24 hours for access to be granted after payment confirmation, although it usually happens much sooner. The platform includes mock tests, sectional tests, and thousands of practice questions. While we are not responsible for third-party interruptions or bugs, we collaborate with our partners to resolve any issues promptly.
5Private Lessons and Packages
Booking Rules
Private lessons and packages can be purchased at ptewhat.com/private-lessons. All private lessons must be scheduled through our official booking system.
Rescheduling Policy
Students may reschedule a booked session once, provided the change is made at least 24 hours before the scheduled starting time. It is not possible to reschedule a session within 24 hours of its scheduled start time. Failure to attend will result in the session being forfeited, and no refund will be issued.
Expiration of Lessons
All booked or included lessons must be used before the end of the membership or package validity period. Unused sessions after expiration cannot be transferred or refunded.
Discounted Lessons for Active Members
Students with an active course subscription have access to discounted private lessons. These lessons must be booked through the dashboard and used while the subscription remains active. Once the subscription ends, any unused discounted lesson credits will expire and cannot be transferred or refunded.
6Recordings
Group classes and live sessions may be recorded for quality assurance, educational, or promotional purposes. By participating, you consent to these recordings. All recordings remain the intellectual property of PTEwhat/Proficiency School.
Recording any session without prior written consent is strictly prohibited.
7Payment Processing and Refunds
Payment Processing
If a payment fails or a renewal cannot be processed, access to the course or subscription benefits will be temporarily paused until the issue is resolved. Users will be notified to update their payment details promptly to restore access.
Refund Policy
Refunds for the initial course are only granted in cases of duplicate transactions or verified technical errors that prevent access. Refunds are not available for change of mind, non-usage of services, or failure to cancel a renewing subscription in time.
Subscription Types
- The initial course is a one-time payment that ends automatically after its two-month duration, with no automatic renewal or recurring billing.
