This subscription type provides a fixed number of hours per week for scheduling lessons with a chosen Tutor. Credits are replenished every 28 days, with unused Credits expiring, except for 25% of the Credits, which roll over to the subsequent billing cycle.
Subscription plans and pricing depend on the hourly rate of the selected Tutor.
**2.4. Subscriptions with a Free Trial Period**
These subscriptions grant access to paid services for a specified duration without payment. After the trial period, regular charges apply unless you cancel the subscription.
3. TRIALS AND PROMOTIONS
3.1. Subscribe to a Tutor. Trial Lesson
Embark on your language learning journey with TTurkish, and explore our subscription plans designed to connect you with skilled Tutors. Before committing to a subscription, you have the opportunity to purchase a trial lesson with your chosen Tutor. If, for any reason, the Tutor doesn't meet your expectations or the trial lesson doesn't materialize, TTurkish provides options:
-
Free Lesson or Refund: Request a free lesson with another Tutor of your choice on the TTurkish platform, or opt for a refund of the payment.
-
Tutor Change: Following your first trial lesson, you have the flexibility to change your Tutor twice without additional charges. If you decide to change Tutors more than twice, the subsequent lesson should be paid for.
Once you've experienced the trial lesson(s) and decided on a Tutor, you'll be guided to select a suitable subscription plan. For yearly subscriptions, TTurkish may even offer a 14-day trial period, allowing you to cancel at any time.
3.2. Free Trial Period
As a special offer, TTurkish occasionally provides trials of paid subscriptions for a specified period without payment, known as a "Free Trial Period." To avoid charges after this period, cancel your subscription at least one day before it concludes. Free Trial Periods are exclusively available for first-time users, with eligibility limited to one Free Trial Period. TTurkish reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts in violation of these terms.
If a Tutor doesn't meet expectations during the trial or the lesson doesn't occur, users can request a free trial lesson with another Tutor of their choice. Changing Tutors within the Free Trial Period is allowed up to two times, with the condition that the new lesson is scheduled within this period. Beyond two changes, subsequent lessons, even if scheduled during the Free Trial Period, will incur charges.
3.3. Promotions
Explore the diverse world of language learning with TTurkish through occasional promotional offers and plans. Promotion eligibility is determined by TTurkish at its sole discretion, and the terms and conditions are detailed in the TTurkish Promotional Terms & Conditions.

4.4. Adding Hours (Top-Ups)
Users can enhance their learning experience by topping up their account balance with additional hours beyond their subscription plan.
