HelloSSam Policy
No-show Policy
Effective date: June 1, 2026
A “no-show” refers to failing to join within 5 minutes of the scheduled lesson start time without prior notice.
Article 1 (Student No-Show)
- No refund of tuition.
- 80% of tuition (the full tutor share) is paid to the tutor.
- The platform retains 20% of the payment as a service fee.
Article 2 (Tutor No-Show)
- The pass is immediately restored to the student.
- No tuition is paid to the tutor.
- HelloSSam issues an official warning to the tutor.
- “2 or more tutor no-shows within 60 days: account suspension or permanent ban.”
Article 3 (How to Report a No-Show)
If a no-show occurs, you must “report it within 60 minutes of the lesson’s scheduled end time via My page > Support tab > ‘Contact us’.” HelloSSam verifies the facts by reviewing session logs and video call connection records. False no-show reports are a Terms of Service violation and grounds for account suspension.
Article 4 (Force Majeure Exceptions)
In cases of unavoidable circumstances beyond your control, such as medical emergencies, natural disasters, or power outages, please contact us promptly via My page > Support tab > ‘Contact us’ with relevant supporting documentation. HelloSSam may, at its discretion, waive the no-show penalty or provide a free re-lesson.
