Questions about fees

Is the demo class really free?

Yes. The demo class is free and you do not need to give any payment details to book it. Book a free demo

What if we pay and my child does not like the classes?

Tell us within 2 days of your first payment and we refund that first payment in full. This applies to both live coaching and the self-learning plan, once for each student. Read the refund policy

Do plans renew by themselves?

No. Plans are paid in advance for the period you choose and do not renew by themselves. If you do not pay for the next period, the plan simply ends. We remind you before it ends. See monthly and yearly plan rules

What happens if my child misses a class?

A missed class counts as attended and is not refunded or made up. We share the homework, and the class recording where there is one, and the coach reviews the homework at the next class. See missed class rules

What happens if the coach cancels a class?

The class is moved to another time or credited to your next period. You never lose a class that we cancel.

Can we pause the classes for exams or travel?

Yes. Live coaching students can pause their plan for up to 1 month in every 6 months, with at least 7 days' notice. The paused time is added to the end of your plan, and we keep your child's place in the batch where possible. See how pausing works

Is there a discount for a second child?

Yes. Each child needs their own plan. From the second child, live coaching is 10% off. It is applied automatically at checkout: choose the child on the Plans page and you will see the lower price.

How do we pay?

Payments are processed securely by Razorpay. We never see your card details. A receipt is emailed for every payment.

We live outside India. What price do we pay?

Families in India see prices in rupees. Families anywhere else see prices in US dollars. The website picks this from the time zone set on your device, and the price is shown before you pay anything.

How do I ask for a refund?

Email accounts@daizenchesschamps.com with the parent's registered mobile number, the student's name, the plan, the payment date and the reason. We reply within 48 hours and confirm the decision within 5 working days. Approved refunds go back to the way you paid, usually in 5 to 7 working days. See how to request a refund
