- Account access issues: within 1 to 2 business days
- Billing and payment issues: within 2 to 3 business days
- Trust and safety concerns: as soon as reasonably practicable
- Privacy or personal data requests: within timelines required by law or within a reasonable period
These response times are targets only and are not guaranteed service levels unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing.
6. No Guaranteed Resolution Time
While Theachr aims to address issues promptly, we do not guarantee that any issue will be resolved within a specific timeframe.
Resolution time may vary depending on:
- Complexity of the issue
- Involvement of third-party service providers
- Need for user action or verification
- Involvement of another user, payment provider, or external system
- Legal, regulatory, or safety considerations
7. User Responsibilities When Seeking Support
To help us investigate efficiently, users should:
- Provide accurate account and contact information
- Describe the issue clearly and honestly
- Provide relevant screenshots, transaction details, booking references, or device details
- Respond to reasonable follow-up questions
- Avoid abusive, threatening, fraudulent, or misleading communication
Theachr may limit or suspend support if a user repeatedly submits false, abusive, duplicative, or bad-faith reports.
8. Platform Issues vs User Disputes
Theachr may assist in facilitating communication between users but is not obliged to resolve every dispute between tutors, parents, or students.
Theachr may, at its discretion:
- Request information from the parties
- Review relevant platform records
- Apply platform policies
- Issue credits, refunds, warnings, suspensions, or other remedies where permitted
However, Theachr is not a court, mediator, or arbitrator.
9. Payment and Refund Support
Where payments are enabled, Theachr may assist with:
- Failed payments
- Duplicate charges
- Payout status
- Refund eligibility under platform rules
- Subscription issues
Where third-party processors are involved, resolution may depend on their systems and timing. Theachr does not guarantee payment recovery, charge reversal, or refund approval except where required by law or platform policy.
10. Trust and Safety Reports
Users should report any serious safety, impersonation, fraud, harassment, exploitation, or misuse immediately.
Theachr may prioritise such reports and take actions including restricting content, suspending accounts, or requesting verification.
For emergencies or immediate risk, users should contact local emergency services or law enforcement directly. Theachr is not an emergency-response service.
11. Privacy and Personal Data Requests
Requests relating to personal data, including access, correction, or withdrawal of consent, may be directed to the DPO or privacy contact.
Handling of such requests is subject to Theachr’s Privacy Policy and applicable Singapore law, including the PDPA.
12. Changes to Support Processes
Theachr may update support channels, workflows, or response times at any time. Updates may be published on the platform or help centre.
13. Suspension or Refusal of Support
Theachr may suspend, limit, or refuse support where:
- Requests are abusive, threatening, fraudulent, or repetitive
- Support channels are being misused
- The matter falls outside the scope of support
- Providing support would breach law, policy, or another person’s rights
- The account has been suspended or terminated
14. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Theachr does not guarantee uninterrupted support availability, specific outcomes, or response within a specific time.
Nothing in these terms excludes liability where such limitation is not permitted under Singapore law.
