1.5.2.2. Logging Lessons: To ensure Suppliers are able to make accurate and appropriate payments for Services that you are providing to their Learners, you must accurately log all lessons on the ADI Network App. This also enables ADI Network and the Supplier to understand Lessons that have been arranged and may or may not have been attended by a Learner or yourself and keep an accurate record of hours completed. Should lessons not be logged correctly, payments may be delayed. 

1.5.2.3. Over-payment: For instances that occur where a Supplier has paid a User for a block of  hours or more for a Course/s and the User has not delivered the tuition associated with this, the Supplier is entitled to and will request a refund from you.

Should you fail to refund monies owed a payment plan may be arranged however should this not be upheld by the User, the debt may be passed to a 3rd party recovery specialist by the Supplier. 

1.5.2.3. Payment Details: The Course Provider will provide payment to your directly based on the payment details that you have uploaded to the App. You are responsible for ensuring that these details are correct.

Once the complaint has been resolved, if fault is not found to be associated with the you, this decision will be revisited.
