As a representative of IPHI, Teachers agree to the following:
Communication
As Teachers, it is required that your communication is exceptional with customers and with IPHI.
International Parenting & Health Institute provides two platforms for teachers to communicate customers and with IPHI during and between classes.
We ask that all class communications remain on International Parenting & Health Institute’s platform or using an IPHI designated teacher email.
Communicating through International Parenting & Health Institute rather than through private email, WhatsApps or texting is critical to keeping our community safe.
This also allows our support team to properly investigate any escalated incidents.
Our teachers should never share any personal contact details with each other. In addition to keeping all communications on our platform, International Parenting & Health Institute prohibits teachers and customers from meeting in-person, unless at an International Parenting & Health Institute-sponsored event.
In addition Teachers agree to speak of IPHI in a positive and respectful manner at all times.
Any disagreements or concerns with IPHI or customers are to be immediately communicated and discussed directly with IPHI where IPHI will work together with the Teacher and/or Customer to find a mutually acceptable solution. While IPHI will use reasonable efforts to secure a mutually acceptable resolution, IPHI is under no obligation to find a resolution that satisfies the Teacher or Customer.
IPHI reserves the right to cancel any classes that do not meet the requirements set forth in this Agreement. IPHI further reserves the right to canncel any classes based upon the conduct of the Teacher as may be demonstrated in communications, including, but not limited to phone calls, e-mails, and IPHI platform chats.

You are responsible for canceling a class for any other reason more than 24 hours prior to the scheduled class start time. In most cases, International Parenting & Health Institute will automatically cancel sections with no enrollments 24 hours ahead of start time, so you generally will not need to take action on your side.
You are, however, responsible for canceling sections in the following cases, as these types of sections are not automatically canceled 24 hours ahead of start time, even when there are no enrollments:
All class meetings with ongoing classes should occur as planned, whenever possible. Canceling or rescheduling a class meetings within 24 hours of start time violates International Parenting & Health Institute policy, with the following exceptions:
Customers may request a transfer between class sections for scheduling purposes, or withdraw from class entirely. These requests should be handled promptly to ensure a positive experience for families.
Withdrawing customers from a class or transferring csutomers between class sections should only be done at the request of enrolled customers.
Withdrawing or transferring learners without customer consent violates International Parenting & Health Institute policy, and may result in a warning from our team.
If you do not cancel an open class with 0 enrolled learners at least 24 hours ahead of start time , you are still responsible for teaching any last-minute enrollments. In some cases, customers can enroll and join class up to a few hours prior class start time. Please make sure that your email settings are set to notify you of all new enrollments.
When your class section has fewer than the minimum enrollments set when creating your class listing, you are still always expected to either:
As in the scenario described in the section above, when your class remains open to enrollments at the 24-hour ahead mark, you are expected to teach. Failure to start the Zoom meeting and remain in it for 10 minutes is a policy violation and may result in a warning. Teachers are also required to wait at least 15 minutes for class participants in case they arrive late and class will continue to end at the scheduled time if participants show up late.
Class refund requests will be assessed based on the date of official withdrawal for live courses and the date of the course delivery for self-directed courses. The official withdrawal date is the date upon which IPHI receives the written request for a refund. All refunds must be approved by the IPHI before being processed by IPHI’s accounting department. Refunds will be processed within 30 days of IPHI’s approval thereof, subject to the conditions set forth herein.
Self-Directed
Refunds will not be granted for any self-directed classes that are immediately delivered upon enrollment or for any live classes. Although csutomers have a time frame to complete self-directed classes created by Teachers, once immediate access is provided, a credit may be issued if needed but no refunds will be provided.
Sales and Promotios
Refunds are not issued for any classes sold at a promotional price discount. At the discretion of IPHI, credits may be issued and applied upon the student’s request for classes sold at a promotional price discount.
Online Live Classes
If a customer enrolls in a course that has not been immediately delivered and is based on online live mentoring, a refund may be issued within one (1) week of enrollment if the customer decides not to proceed with such class. However, if a customer purchases a live online class and does not communicate with IPHI within one (1) week of payment to notify of the customers’s intention to not pursue the program, no refund will be issued. Refunds are not provided for any of the following: (i) special promotions, (ii) one week before a class begins, (iii) after a class payment is made and it is delivered, (iv) after the enrollment form has been completed and immediate access has been given. Credits may be issued upon IPHI’s discretion following an analysis of the situation. If a customer withdraws prior to the start date of a live online class deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable.
If a customerenrolls in an IPHI class and wants to transfer to another IPHI class, IPHI must be notified via email directly within two (1) weeks of the enrollment date of the original IPHI class. Customers who had full access to an IPHI program will not be granted a transfer.
