  This is a standard boilerplate template, not something drafted or reviewed by a lawyer. It's a reasonable starting point for a small tutoring practice, but if you want it to hold up to real scrutiny, have it checked by someone qualified in Taiwan consumer/service law before treating it as final.

Agreement to terms

By using this website (wernerkuhn.org), booking a session through it, or engaging Werner Kühn / Werner English Studio ("I," "me," or "the Studio") for tutoring services, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree with them, please don't use the booking system or the services described here.

Services provided

The Studio provides English-language tutoring, including but not limited to IELTS and TOEFL exam preparation, Business English coaching, and general one-on-one English instruction, delivered online (via Zoom or similar) or in person as arranged. Free trial sessions are offered to new students at the length and terms shown on the booking page at the time of booking.

Free IELTS writing check and YouTube permission

The free IELTS writing check is a limited educational offer for people aged 18 or older. An eligible student may submit one original Task 1 or Task 2 response while the offer is open. The response must be the student's own work and must not be copied or generated for the student by AI. The check is a focused diagnostic review, not full line-by-line proofreading, an official IELTS assessment, or a guarantee of any band score.

By accepting the permission statement and submitting the form, the student keeps ownership of their writing and grants Werner English Studio a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to quote, reproduce, edit, annotate, display, and discuss all or part of an anonymised version in a Werner English Studio YouTube teaching video. The video may be monetised. The free review is the agreed exchange for this permission, and no additional payment is due. A submission does not guarantee that the writing will be selected for a video.

The student's name, email address, and identifying details will not be shown in the video. The student may withdraw permission for unpublished use by emailing Werner and identifying the submission with the name and email address used on the form. A request made after publication will be considered reasonably, but removal from third-party copies, shares, search results, or caches cannot be guaranteed.

Students should remove personal details from their prompt and response before submitting. Any attached task image is accepted only to help Werner understand the response. Permission to use the student's writing does not transfer rights in a third-party test prompt, chart, photograph, or other source material, and Werner English Studio will not reproduce that source material in a video without separate permission.

Bookings, cancellations, and rescheduling

Sessions are booked through the booking page and confirmed by email, which includes a link you can use to cancel your own booking at any time before the session. If you need to reschedule rather than cancel, contact me directly using the details below. I reserve the right to reschedule or cancel a session on my end where necessary (illness, an emergency, a technical failure), and will make reasonable efforts to notify you as early as possible and offer an alternative time.

Payment

Pricing and payment arrangements are discussed and confirmed directly with each student rather than published on this site, and are agreed before regular (non-trial) sessions begin. Free trial sessions carry no charge. Specific payment terms, including any cancellation or no-show policy tied to paid sessions, will be communicated directly and may be set out in a separate agreement between the Studio and the student (or a parent/guardian, where the student is a minor).

No guarantee of results

Tutoring is intended to build genuine language ability, exam strategy, and confidence. However, exam outcomes (including specific IELTS, TOEFL, or GEPT band scores) depend on many factors outside the Studio's control, including a student's own preparation, practice, and performance on the day. No specific score, grade, or outcome is guaranteed by these sessions, this website, or any associated materials.

Intellectual property

All course materials, worksheets, video content, blog posts, and other original content provided through this website, the Werner English Studio YouTube channel, or during sessions remain the intellectual property of Werner Kühn / Werner English Studio. Materials are provided for your personal use as a student and are not to be reproduced, redistributed, or resold without permission.

Acceptable use

You agree to use this website and booking system honestly — providing accurate contact details when booking, and not attempting to disrupt, overload, or misuse the site or its booking system.

Minors

Where a student is under 18, a parent or guardian is responsible for making the booking, agreeing to these terms on the student's behalf, and arranging payment.

Limitation of liability

The website and booking system are provided on an "as is" basis. While reasonable care is taken to keep the site and booking system accurate and functioning, the Studio is not liable for temporary unavailability, technical errors, or indirect losses arising from use of the site. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited under applicable law.

Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated from time to time as the services or website change. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site or booking system after an update means you accept the revised terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Taiwan (R.O.C.), without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
