Refunds & Cancellations Policy

This policy applies to all Younglabs courses and class packs, in India and abroad. Version 1.0.

1. Key terms

  • Course fee: the amount you actually paid Younglabs for the course or class pack, after any discount.
  • Paid classes: the number of classes in the pack you paid for. Bonus, free, referral, sibling, gifted or barter classes are not paid classes.
  • Course start date: the date and time of the first scheduled paid class.
  • Used class: a class that was held, or a class missed without the notice set out in section 5.

2. Cancelling before the course starts

If you have paid and the course has not started, the course fee is refunded, minus a platform fee of 10% of the course fee and the deductions in section 7, provided you ask in writing (email or WhatsApp) at least 24 hours before the course start date.

A request made less than 24 hours before the course start date, or after it, means the course is treated as started, and section 3 applies, including the 25% minimum cancellation fee.

3. Cancelling after the course starts

Once the course has started, we refund the paid classes you have not used, pro-rata, and Younglabs keeps a minimum of 25% of the course fee. A platform fee of 10% of the course fee is deducted as well, in addition to that minimum and in addition to the deductions in section 7. There is no refund once all paid classes have been used. The refund is never below zero.

How we calculate it

Used share     = used paid classes ÷ total paid classes
Retained share = the higher of (Used share, 25%)
Platform fee   = 10% of the course fee
Refund         = Course fee × (1 − Retained share) − Platform fee − deductions in section 7

Example: course fee ₹12,000 for 24 paid classes. At least 24 hours before the course starts, the 25% minimum does not apply. The platform fee is ₹1,200, so the refund before gateway, EMI and bank charges is ₹10,800. After the course has started, the table below applies. The platform fee is still deducted, and the refund is never below zero.

4. Teacher changes

Younglabs tries to keep the same teacher with each child for the whole course. In some circumstances a teacher may change. When that happens, parents will be offered other teacher options. A change of teacher is not a ground for a refund.

5. Rescheduling, missed classes and our-side issues

  • To reschedule a class, tell us at least 24 hours before it starts.
  • A class missed without 24 hours' notice counts as used. So does a class where the child doesn't join within 10 minutes of the start time.
  • If a class can't take place because of a Younglabs teacher or a technical issue on our side, we give a free make-up class. It never counts as used.

6. Time limits

  • Refund requests must reach us within 12 months of your invoice date. Pausing classes doesn't extend this.
  • Remaining unused paid classes lapse, and cannot be refunded, if 3 months pass with no class attended and no refund requested. That period runs from the last attended class. If no class has been attended, it runs from the course start date, or from the invoice date if the course has no start date. This doesn't apply while a pause approved by Younglabs is in place.

7. What is not refundable and what is deducted

  • Bonus, free, referral, sibling, gifted and barter classes are not refundable.
  • A platform fee of 10% of the course fee is deducted from every refund. This is in addition to the retained share in section 3 and in addition to the charges below.
  • Payment gateway charges, EMI interest or lender fees, and bank, forex or cross-border charges are deducted from the refund. Any EMI arrangement stays between you and your bank or lender.

8. If Younglabs cancels

We may cancel a course or batch because of low enrolment or unforeseen circumstances. If we do, the course fee for paid classes not yet held is refunded, minus the 10% platform fee and the deductions in section 7.

9. How to request a refund, and when you'll get it

  • Send a written request to contact@younglabs.in or on WhatsApp at +91 92890 29696 (Mon–Sat, 10am–6pm IST), from the parent's registered email address or phone number.
  • We'll acknowledge your request within 48 hours and confirm the refund amount.
  • Approved refunds are processed within 5–7 business days of approval. Your bank may take a few more days to show the credit.
  • Refunds go to the original payment method, in the currency you paid. If that isn't possible, we pay by bank transfer to the original payer.

10. Payment disputes and chargebacks

Please contact us before raising a dispute with your bank or card provider. It's faster. A chargeback is not a refund request and doesn't extend any time limit in this policy. While a dispute is open, we may pause classes. We won't pay a refund for any amount the bank has already reversed.

11. Fair use

We may decline a refund if the account was suspended for abuse, fraud or misuse, or if a family makes repeated refund requests across enrolments.

12. This policy is the complete agreement

No verbal promise by a counselor, teacher or other staff member changes this policy unless Younglabs confirms it in writing. Any goodwill refund or concession outside this policy is a one-off and doesn't set a precedent.

13. Governing law and grievances

This policy is governed by the laws of India, and the courts at Gautam Buddh Nagar (Noida), Uttar Pradesh have jurisdiction. This doesn't affect your rights under consumer protection law. Grievance Officer, reachable at contact@younglabs.in. We acknowledge complaints within 48 hours and resolve them within one month.

14. Changes to this policy
