Terms and Conditions
Last Updated: March 30, 2026
Welcome to Strommen Inc. (“we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of our websites at strommeninc.com and app.strommeninc.com (the “Sites”) and your purchase and use of our language tutoring services (the “Services”). By accessing our Sites or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using our Sites or Services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use our Sites or Services.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old to use our Services. If you are under 18, you may only use our Services with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian. The parent or guardian agrees to be bound by these Terms on the minor’s behalf.
3. Description of Services
Strommen Inc. provides language education and related services, including:
- Private one-on-one language tutoring (online and in-person)
- Group language classes (online and in-person)
- Corporate language training programs
- Dialect coaching for entertainment professionals
- Translation and interpreting services
Lessons are typically one hour in duration unless otherwise agreed upon. Specific details regarding scheduling, lesson format, and tutor assignment are communicated at the time of booking.
4. Accounts and Registration
To access certain features of our Services, you may need to create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep your account credentials confidential. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
5. Payments and Pricing
- All payments are processed securely through Stripe. We do not store your credit card information.
- Prices for individual lessons, packages, and group classes are listed on our Sites and may change without prior notice.
- Lesson packages are available at discounted rates. Package pricing and terms are specified at the time of purchase.
- Payment is due at the time of purchase unless other arrangements have been made in writing.
- All fees are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.
Package expiration. Prepaid lesson packages expire 12 months from the date of purchase, unless otherwise stated. If you need more time, you may request an extension of up to 12 additional months, as long as you ask before your package expires. Packages may also be paused before expiration and reactivated within 24 months of purchase by purchasing a new package of equal or greater value.
Why a time limit at all? Because regular, committed practice is what actually moves you toward your goals. Paying for a package and getting lessons on the calendar keeps you consistent, and that consistency is what produces real progress. The window is there to encourage you to use your hours and keep your momentum, not to take anything away. That is also why we are glad to extend it whenever you ask in time.
6. Cancellation and Rescheduling
- You must provide at least 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule a lesson.
- Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice will be charged for the full lesson or deducted from your package balance.
- No-shows (failure to attend a scheduled lesson without notice) will be treated as a late cancellation and charged accordingly.
- We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule lessons due to tutor unavailability or other circumstances beyond our control. In such cases, you will be offered an alternative time or a credit.
7. Refunds
- Individual lessons, tuition deposits, and prepaid packages are non-refundable, except as required by law.
- Any refund required by law must be requested in writing to [email protected].
8. Gift Certificates
- Gift certificates are available for purchase through our Sites or by contacting us directly.
- Gift certificates are non-refundable and may not be redeemed for cash.
- Gift certificates do not expire unless required by applicable law.
