Legal operator: CJEL DIGITAL IMAGING EDUCATION SOLUTION PTY LTD (ABN 59 630 412 047; ACN 630 412 047)
Main business location: NSW 2034, Australia
CJEL DIGITAL IMAGING EDUCATION SOLUTION PTY LTD (ABN 59 630 412 047; ACN 630 412 047) ("CJEL") operates the MyUniMentor project and online service ("MyUniMentor"). References to "MyUniMentor", "we", "us" or "our" mean CJEL in its capacity as operator of the MyUniMentor project.
1. Core principles
- - No automatic payout merely because time passes.
- - An open dispute places payout on hold.
- - Cancellation charges should reflect the Mentor's lost opportunity/time, not punish a user.
- - MyUniMentor's Platform Fee is refunded where no Mentor session occurs under the standard cancellation rules below.
- - Australian Consumer Law rights remain.
2. Standard Mentee cancellation rules
Unless a service page clearly states a different approved rule:
| When the Mentee cancels | Mentor Service Price | Mentee Platform Fee |
|---|---|---|
| More than 24 hours before start | 100% refunded | 100% refunded |
| 2 to 24 hours before start | 50% refunded | 100% refunded |
| Less than 2 hours before start | Normally no refund | 100% refunded |
| Mentee no-show | Normally no refund | 100% refunded |
The percentages above are maximum amounts, not automatic entitlements irrespective of loss. Any amount retained must be reasonable in the circumstances, taking account of avoided costs, replacement bookings and applicable law. CJEL will reduce any amount that would be unlawful or excessive and explain the calculation. An authorised administrator decides how a retained amount is allocated between the Mentor and CJEL, within these limits, and records the reasons. The Platform Fee is refunded as shown above.
You can cancel from your dashboard. The refund shown before you confirm is calculated from this table and sent automatically to your original payment method; your bank may take 5 to 10 business days to show it.
3. Mentor cancellation
If the Mentor cancels, declines or cannot attend, MyUniMentor tells the Mentee and may offer another suitable Mentor, or a MyUniMentor team member, for the same session. The Mentee may accept that, or cancel at any time before the session for a full refund of:
- - Mentor Service Price: fully refunded;
- - Mentee Platform Fee: fully refunded;
- - Membership Fee: refunded if that Booking first triggered it and the service did not begin.
If no replacement is confirmed before the session, the Booking is cancelled and fully refunded.
3A. Group Sessions
In a Group Session, each Mentee's place is a separate Booking. Cancelling, refunding or disputing one Booking does not affect another. If the Mentor cancels the session, every Booking in it is refunded in full.
4. Mentor no-show
A Mentor may be treated as a no-show if:
- - they are more than 15 minutes late;
- - there has been no reasonable contact/explanation; and
- - the Mentee elects not to continue.
A session the Mentor did not open, or did not complete without a reasonable explanation, may also be treated as a Mentor no-show.
The Mentee receives a full refund of Booking charges, or may accept another Mentor or a MyUniMentor team member for the session instead.
5. Mentee no-show
A Mentee may be treated as a no-show if:
- - they are more than 15 minutes late;
- - there has been no reasonable contact; and
- - the Mentor was available as booked.
The late-cancellation/no-show rule applies, subject to consumer law and exceptional circumstances.
6. Rescheduling
Either party may propose a reschedule.
A reschedule occurs only if both parties agree.
If the Mentor requests a new time and the Mentee does not agree:
- - the Mentee may cancel for a full refund.
If the Mentee requests a new time and the Mentor does not agree:
- - the ordinary Mentee cancellation rule applies based on the original scheduled time.
A Booking may ordinarily be rescheduled up to two times. Further changes may be treated as a cancellation unless MyUniMentor approves otherwise.
7. Technical failure
If an online session cannot occur because of a technical failure for which neither party is reasonably responsible:
- - the parties should first attempt to reschedule within 14 days;
- - if no suitable reschedule is agreed, the Mentor Service Price and Mentee Platform Fee are refunded.
8. Session materially shorter than booked
If the session is materially shorter because of the Mentor's fault:
- - the Mentee may receive a pro-rata refund of the unused Mentor Service Price;
- - the corresponding portion of the Mentee Platform Fee should also be refunded.
Where the Platform cannot process a partial refund automatically, CJEL arranges it by another lawful method.
9. Dissatisfaction versus service failure
Simple dissatisfaction does not automatically create a refund.
However, where the service fails a consumer guarantee, is materially different from its description, or is not provided with required care and skill, the Mentee may have additional rights.
10. Starting a dispute
A dispute can begin when:
- - the Mentee reports a problem instead of confirming completion; or
- - the Booking is escalated to administration after 14 days of silence.
An open dispute places the Booking in Payout Hold.
11. Evidence
MyUniMentor may consider:
- - booking snapshot;
- - Platform messages;
- - session timing or attendance records;
- - written statements;
- - screenshots/documents;
- - relevant timestamps;
- - payment records;
- - other reliable evidence.
Each party should ordinarily have 3 business days to provide requested evidence, unless urgency or fairness requires another period.
12. Decision standard
The administrator will make a reasonable, evidence-based Platform payment decision.
The administrator should consider:
- - whether it is more likely than not that the service occurred as booked;
- - whether the service materially matched its description;
- - whether either party breached the Booking;
- - applicable consumer rights;
- - any relevant cancellation rule.
If the Mentor seeks payout over an active objection, there should be sufficient evidence to support the release.
Where completion of a disputed service cannot reasonably be established, the disputed amount should ordinarily be refunded rather than released.
13. Possible outcomes
Possible outcomes are:
- - full release to Mentor;
- - full refund to Mentee;
- - partial release/partial refund;
- - continued temporary hold while specifically identified evidence is obtained.
14. Decision record
The system should record:
- - outcome;
- - amount;
- - reason;
- - administrator;
- - date/time;
- - evidence considered;
- - payment-provider action/reference.
15. Conflicts
An administrator with a material personal conflict involving either party should not decide the dispute where another authorised administrator is reasonably available.
16. Timeframe
Each party will ordinarily have 3 business days to provide requested evidence. MyUniMentor aims to decide a dispute within 5 business days after the evidence period closes. Any further hold must have an identified reason and a notified review date no more than five business days later. An approved payout is initiated within two business days.
Bank/payment-provider processing time is outside MyUniMentor's control.
17. Internal review
A party may request one internal review within 7 days of the decision where they:
- - identify a material factual error;
- - provide significant new evidence that could not reasonably have been provided earlier; or
- - identify a material conflict/process failure.
The reviewer should not be the original decision-maker where reasonably possible.
18. External rights
An internal decision does not prevent a party using:
- - card/payment-provider rights;
- - a State or Territory consumer agency;
- - a tribunal or court;
- - another legal or regulatory remedy.
19. Chargebacks
Where a cardholder initiates a chargeback:
- - the payment provider's process applies;
- - MyUniMentor may provide relevant transaction evidence;
- - a Mentor may be responsible for a chargeback amount to the extent the loss is properly attributable to the Mentor's service or conduct and law permits recovery.
20. System capability rule
Nothing in this policy makes a remedy required by law conditional on the capabilities of our software. CJEL will arrange an appropriate lawful processing method. Confirmation or payout does not waive a Mentee's remaining legal rights.
