Refund for failure to raise scores
( 2003-08-18 14:30) (China Daily)
A company which failed to
help a student improve his grades as promised in a contract has been forced to
refund his tuition in full, reports Beijing Evening News.
Tang paid 5,500 yuan (US$660) to a tutoring centre in April. In the contract,
the centre guaranteed that the boy would either advance 10 places in his class'
rankings or he would earn 10 points more than the average score on his final
examination.
"If the goal is not realized, the centre will refund the payment," the
contract said. But when Tang asked the centre to return the money after her
child's scores fell instead of rising, the centre said it could only refund 10
per cent of the original payment.
Tang turned to the Haidian District bureau for industry and commerce for
help, and the company was ordered to make a full refund.
