Terms of service

These terms govern your use of georgelichess.com and the lessons sold on it. GeorgeLiChess is run by George Li LLC ("we"). By booking or buying you agree to them.

Who may buy

You must be 18 or older. If a student is under 18 you buy as the student's parent or guardian and you are responsible for the student's attendance and conduct.

Lessons

Lessons are 60 minutes and take place online at the time you book, from 12 hours to 45 days ahead. We send the video link by email. Lessons are for the student they are arranged for; do not share the link. We may end a lesson that is disrupted by abusive behavior, and the session is then used.

Packages and credits

Buying a package gives the buyer a set of lessons, called credits here. Credits are for the buyer's own students, are not transferable and have no cash value, and expire when the validity period listed for the package ends. A lesson cannot be moved to a date after its credit expires. Prices are in US dollars.

Booking, changing and cancelling

You may cancel or reschedule free of charge up to 24 hours before a lesson, by replying to the email that arranged the lesson or by writing to hello@georgelichess.com. Inside 24 hours, or if the student does not attend, the lesson is used. If we cancel, the credit is returned and you choose a new time. If you are more than 15 minutes late we may shorten the lesson, which does not change the credit used.

Results

We teach chess and give feedback. Improvement depends on many things outside our control, and we do not promise a rating, title, result or prize.

Our content

Everything on the site and in lessons, including text, lesson notes, plans and graphics, is ours or used with permission. You may use lesson material for the student's own learning, and you may not copy, resell or publish it. Chess positions, moves and public game data belong to no one.

Conduct

Be respectful. We may refuse or end service for abuse, harassment or fraud.

Liability

The site and lessons are provided as described. To the extent the law allows, our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

Disputes

These terms are governed by the law of the state where George Li LLC is organized, and the courts of that state have jurisdiction. Write to hello@georgelichess.com first and we will try to resolve any problem.

Changes

We may update these terms; the version on the day you buy applies to that purchase.
