2. Coaching services

Quink Lab provides online mathematics coaching for senior students, including but not limited to:

  • one-on-one online coaching sessions
  • targeted exam preparation
  • Mathematical Methods and Specialist Mathematics support
  • problem-solving and communication coaching
  • assessment and exam strategy
  • support with structured mathematical working
  • independent learning guidance
  • parent updates where appropriate

 

Quink Lab’s coaching is designed for motivated students who are willing to engage actively in the process. It is not intended as basic homework help, a last-minute fix, or a replacement for the student’s school course.

3. Applications and coaching fit

Submitting an enquiry or application does not guarantee acceptance into coaching.

Quink Lab may consider factors such as:

  • student year level
  • subject studied
  • current goals
  • coaching needs
  • availability
  • student motivation
  • suitability for the coaching approach
  • whether the requested support aligns with Quink Lab’s services

 

Quink Lab reserves the right to decline enquiries or applications where the service is not considered a suitable fit.

4. Online delivery

Quink Lab coaching is delivered online unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Students are responsible for having access to:

  • a reliable internet connection
  • a suitable device
  • working audio and microphone
  • any required video conferencing platform
  • relevant textbooks, notes, calculator or school materials
  • a quiet environment suitable for focused coaching

 

Technical issues on the student’s side may reduce the effectiveness of a session. If a student is unable to participate properly due to technical issues, the session may still be treated as delivered unless otherwise agreed.

5. Session preparation

Students may be asked to submit questions, topics, upcoming assessment details or areas of concern before a session.

To get the most value from coaching, students should:

  • attend on time
  • bring relevant materials
  • complete agreed preparation where required
  • actively participate
  • attempt problems independently where appropriate
  • reflect on feedback and next steps
  • communicate honestly about areas of difficulty

 

Quink Lab coaching is most effective when students take ownership of their learning.

6. Parent and guardian involvement

Where a student is under 18, a parent or guardian should be involved in the coaching arrangement.

Parents or guardians may be responsible for:

  • submitting enquiries or applications
  • confirming bookings
  • arranging payment
  • communicating relevant information
  • supporting student attendance and preparation
  • receiving updates where appropriate

 

Quink Lab may communicate with parents or guardians about session arrangements, progress, concerns, assessment preparation, fees or other matters relevant to coaching.

7. Fees and payment

Fees will be communicated before coaching begins or before a coaching package, term cycle or session is confirmed.

Payment terms may vary depending on the coaching arrangement and will be confirmed directly with the parent, guardian or responsible payer.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing:

  • fees must be paid by the due date stated on the invoice or payment request
  • coaching sessions may be paused if payment is overdue
  • bookings may not be confirmed until payment arrangements are in place
  • prices may change from time to time, but confirmed sessions or packages will be honoured at the agreed rate unless otherwise stated

 

All fees are in Australian dollars unless stated otherwise.

8. Cancellations and rescheduling

Quink Lab understands that students and families may occasionally need to reschedule.

Where possible, at least 24 hours’ notice should be provided for cancellations or rescheduling requests.

Unless otherwise agreed:

  • sessions cancelled with sufficient notice may be rescheduled subject to availability
  • sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice may be charged in full
  • missed sessions or no-shows may be charged in full
  • repeated cancellations may result in coaching being discontinued
  • rescheduled sessions are subject to available times and cannot always be guaranteed

Cancellation terms are intended to protect reserved coaching time and maintain fairness for other students.

 

Nothing in these Terms & Conditions is intended to limit any rights you may have under Australian Consumer Law. The ACCC explains that consumers may be entitled to remedies where services do not meet consumer guarantees.

9. Late attendance

Students should join online sessions on time.

If a student is late, the session may still finish at the scheduled time. Extra time is not guaranteed.

If Quink Lab is delayed or needs to reschedule, reasonable efforts will be made to provide the full session time or arrange an alternative time.

10. Coaching support between sessions

Some coaching arrangements may include limited support between sessions, depending on the agreed coaching tier or arrangement.

Between-session support may include brief clarification, short responses, check-ins or feedback, as agreed.

Unless specifically included, between-session support does not include:

  • full lesson-style explanations
  • unlimited messaging
  • extended problem sets
  • urgent same-day support
  • completing schoolwork for the student
  • rewriting assignments or assessment responses

 

Response times may vary depending on availability, school term demand and the nature of the request.

11. Educational outcomes and no guarantee of results

Quink Lab aims to help students improve mathematical thinking, communication, problem-solving and exam performance.

However, results depend on many factors outside Quink Lab’s control, including:

  • student effort
  • attendance
  • preparation
  • school assessment conditions
  • prior knowledge
  • exam performance
  • study habits
  • consistency
  • wellbeing
  • curriculum or school requirements

Quink Lab does not guarantee any particular mark, grade, ATAR, ranking, university entry outcome or assessment result.

 

Any references to past results, student improvement or high achievement are examples only and should not be interpreted as a guarantee of future outcomes.

12. Student conduct and academic integrity

Students are expected to participate respectfully and honestly.

Quink Lab supports learning, understanding and independent mathematical development. It does not assist with cheating, plagiarism, academic misconduct or completing assessable work in a way that breaches school or QCAA requirements.

Quink Lab may help students understand concepts, practise relevant skills, improve communication, prepare for exams and reflect on feedback. However, students remain responsible for their own school submissions and assessment conduct.

Quink Lab reserves the right to stop providing coaching if a student or parent requests support that is inappropriate, dishonest or inconsistent with academic integrity.

13. Use of resources and intellectual property

Coaching notes, worked solutions, resources, explanations, templates, methods, frameworks and other materials provided by Quink Lab are for the personal educational use of the enrolled student only.

Unless written permission is provided, these materials must not be:

  • copied for commercial use
  • shared publicly
  • uploaded online
  • sold or distributed
  • used by another tutoring or coaching provider
  • reproduced as part of another educational product or service

 

Quink Lab retains ownership of its original teaching methods, explanations, resources, frameworks, website content and other intellectual property.

14. Recording sessions

Sessions must not be recorded by the student, parent, guardian or any other person unless prior written permission is given by Quink Lab.

If Quink Lab ever records a session for educational, review or administrative purposes, this will be discussed with the student and parent or guardian where appropriate.

15. Technology, platforms and third-party services

Quink Lab may use third-party tools to deliver coaching, manage communication, store notes, process forms, or operate the website.

These may include video conferencing tools, online workspace tools, email, website forms, security tools, analytics tools and payment or invoicing systems.

Quink Lab is not responsible for interruptions, outages, data loss or technical issues caused by third-party platforms, internet providers or devices outside its reasonable control.

16. Website content

The content on the Quink Lab website is provided for general information only.

Website content should not be treated as personalised educational advice for a particular student unless provided directly through a coaching relationship.

Quink Lab may update, remove or change website content at any time.

17. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Quink Lab is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss arising from the use of the website, participation in coaching, technical issues, missed sessions, academic outcomes or reliance on general website content.

Nothing in these Terms & Conditions excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded under Australian Consumer Law.

Where liability cannot be excluded, Quink Lab’s liability will be limited to the extent permitted by law.

18. Refunds

Refunds will be considered in accordance with Australian Consumer Law and the specific circumstances of the coaching arrangement.

Refunds are not generally provided for:

  • change of mind
  • missed sessions
  • late cancellations
  • lack of student preparation
  • failure to complete agreed work
  • dissatisfaction caused by factors outside Quink Lab’s reasonable control
  • failure to achieve a particular mark, grade, ATAR or outcome

 

Where Quink Lab is unable to provide an agreed service, or where a remedy is required under Australian Consumer Law, Quink Lab will work with the family to provide an appropriate solution.

19. Ending coaching

Either party may end the coaching arrangement by providing reasonable notice.

Quink Lab may end or pause coaching if:

  • payment is overdue
  • the student repeatedly misses or cancels sessions
  • the student is not engaging appropriately
  • the coaching arrangement is no longer considered suitable
  • communication becomes unreasonable or inappropriate
  • there is a breach of these Terms & Conditions

 

Any outstanding fees for completed sessions or services remain payable.
