A. INTRODUCTION

As a parent/guardian, by allowing your child to hold membership and attend classes with Beevendaal Academy in any hosting center, you agree to the following Terms and Conditions of the service set forth by Kuduworks Schools in representation of Beevendaal Academy. Beevendaal informs you through our communication channels (Email and/or SMS and/or WhatsApp) when there are changes/updates on our service Terms and Conditions.


B. CONDUCTING TUITION

The parent/guardian agrees that Beevendaal reserves the right to conduct these classes in the best way they have evaluated possible and that it will demand frequent changes and adaptation in the long run. The timetable will always be available in advance, but it does not guarantee that days not showing in the timetable will not be attended nor does it guarantee subject's instructors health or availability therefore for the class although maximum effort will be put to place to take the responsibility.


C. LEARNER NON-COMPLIANCE

Non-compliance from learners will be, but not limited to, unreported absenteeism, absence of required main stationery, late coming, class interruption, uniform code violation, use of vulgar language, undone academic tasks, physical conflicts, bullying, and any form of drug abuse.
Under these circumstances, the parent agrees that the assigned center administrator(s) should take a non-physical well-judged action against the learner in subject, maximum punishment being to expel the learner from the session or from attending for the rest of the year.

On expulsion, we also agree that administrators will initiate communication with the parent or guardian to find solutions on the expulsion subject, however if it is not solved or the parent is not available for communication, the learner may be expelled.

F. SAFETY AND SECURITY

Beevendaal puts the safety and security of the learner upfront and makes it a priority. Vigilant bodies already serving the school centers are our safety personnel during the teaching and learning process.

On the other hand, the parent knows and agrees that we are working with almost fifteen to twenty-five learners per class, and it will not be possible to eye guard everyone outside the school premises. Although we will implement and run group safety program after school it is still a high responsibility for the parent to intervene and ensure the learner uses a short and safe mode of getting home.

We shall too intervene in any unfortunate or suspicious events with the parent concerning the learner.

The host center schools, officials, teachers, KUDUWORKS-EDUCATION affiliated partners and Beevendaal Academy as a whole will not be held responsible or liable in any unfortunate event including but not limited to loss of possessions, severe uncontrollable medical issues (epilepsy for an example), severe injury, trafficking or death but we will work as a unit with the help of the parent and law enforcement to prevent such actions to the highest degree possible.

As a parent/guardian, for the safety of other learners, you agree to disallow you learner to attend our class if they show signs and symptoms of an easy transmittable health conditions including but not limited to influenza, meningitis, varicella (chicken pox), HFMD, diagnosed TB etc.
