Terms & Conditions

Last Updated: August 8, 2026

Welcome to Speak Thay.

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Speak Thay website, student portal, educational programs, course materials, and related services (collectively, the “Services”).

By accessing the Speak Thay website, creating an account, purchasing a program, or participating in our Services, you agree to these Terms.

If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the Services.

1. About Speak Thay

Speak Thay provides language-learning programs designed to help students develop Spanish communication skills through structured practice, instruction, repetition, and speaking activities.

Speak Thay provides educational instruction and learning resources. We do not guarantee a specific level of fluency, proficiency, academic result, employment outcome, or other individual result because student progress depends on many factors, including participation, practice, attendance, and individual circumstances.

2. Eligibility

You must provide accurate and complete information when creating an account or enrolling in a program.

If a student is under the age of majority, enrollment and participation must be completed with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian where required.

You are responsible for ensuring that the information associated with your account remains accurate and up to date.

3. Account Registration

Certain Services require you to create an account.

You are responsible for:

  • Providing accurate information
  • Maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials
  • Keeping your account secure
  • Not sharing your account with another person
  • Not allowing unauthorized individuals to access your course materials

You must notify Speak Thay promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.

Speak Thay may suspend or terminate an account if we reasonably believe that the account has been used in violation of these Terms.

4. Enrollment and Course Access

When you enroll in a Speak Thay program, you receive a limited, personal, non-transferable right to access the Services associated with your enrollment.

Course access may include:

  • Digital educational materials
  • Videos
  • Exercises and activities
  • Student portal features
  • Live classes
  • Learning resources
  • Progress information
  • Other educational materials provided by Speak Thay

Access is provided for the period and under the conditions associated with the program you purchased.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, purchasing a Speak Thay program does not transfer ownership of Speak Thay's educational materials or intellectual property to you.

5. Payments

Prices for Speak Thay programs and services are displayed on the website or presented during the enrollment process.

Unless otherwise stated, applicable charges are due according to the payment schedule selected at enrollment.

Speak Thay may use third-party payment processors, such as Stripe, to process payments.

By submitting payment information, you authorize the applicable payment provider to process charges associated with your enrollment according to the payment terms presented at checkout.

If a payment is declined, reversed, or otherwise not successfully completed, Speak Thay may restrict access to paid Services until the outstanding amount is resolved.

6. Recurring or Monthly Payments

If you enroll in a program with recurring monthly payments, you authorize the applicable payment provider to charge your selected payment method according to the payment schedule presented to you at enrollment.

The amount, billing frequency, and cancellation terms will be presented before or during checkout.

You are responsible for canceling recurring payments according to the applicable cancellation procedure.

Simply stopping use of the course does not necessarily cancel a recurring payment obligation.

7. Cancellation and Refunds

Speak Thay's cancellation and refund rules are described in the applicable Refund & Cancellation Policy.

By purchasing a program, you agree to the refund and cancellation terms applicable to that program.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit any rights you may have under applicable consumer-protection laws.

8. Live Classes

When a program includes live classes, students are expected to:

  • Attend scheduled classes on time
  • Participate respectfully
  • Follow reasonable instructor directions
  • Avoid disruptive behavior
  • Respect other students
  • Use appropriate language and conduct during class

Speak Thay may establish reasonable attendance, scheduling, rescheduling, or participation procedures for live classes.

Speak Thay may occasionally need to modify a class schedule, instructor, or delivery method. When reasonably possible, we will provide advance notice of material changes.
