Registration fees are non-refundable and must be paid in full during the application process.
School fees are generally payable in advance in the amounts quoted by OOSA for the relevant Stage or Course, educational plan and school year. Parents may, however, opt to pay in advance in full, on a termly (2 equal instalments, to be received on or before the first day of each term) or in 3 equal instalments, to be received on or before the first day of each agreed instalment period. All payments must be made in Tanzanian Shillings without deduction or set off.
Payment may be made via the bank deposit, instant Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT), Mobile Money Transfer, debit card or credit card. Other payment mechanisms may also be available. Where the PRFP has chosen to pay by instant EFT but the payment does not, for any reason, go through, OOSA reserves the right to complete the payment using credit or debit card details which have been provided by the PRFP to OOSA, if any. Customer details will be stored by OOSA separately from card details which are entered by the PRFP.
Where payment is made with a credit or debit card not issued by a Tanzania financial institution, there may be Tanzanian Exchange Control implications. Certain processing fees may be payable in respect of such transactions, and there may be delays with respect to any refund that may become payable, as well as refund amount differentials caused by exchange rate fluctuations between processing and settlement.
If a fee payment instalment plan is chosen, OOSA will invoice the PRFP for the applicable amounts. A failure to provide such an invoice does not, however, excuse the PRFP from the obligation to make the relevant payments when due.
If an instalment plan is chosen and any instalment not be paid on the due date, the full balance of the annual fee will immediately become due and payable by the PRFP. OOSA reserves the right to charge interest at the prescribed rate on any overdue payments, from the due date to the date of payment, together with a late payment fee and, if applicable, collection costs. For so long as any fees are overdue, OOSA also reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend the relevant Learner’s ability to login to the virtual school.
The IAE and,/or NECTA (whichever is applicable to the Learner’s chosen course), charge certain examination and/or registration fees, which are dependent on the level of the relevant Learner, how many subjects are being taken and other factors, these fees are explicitly included in the school fees charged by OOSA.
The PRFP will be responsible for any banking or processing fees incurred as a result of any payments failing or being reversed as a result of insufficient funds or any other reason.
Unless explicitly included in the fees charged by OOSA, the costs of textbook and stationery requirements are for the account of the PRFP.
OOSA reserves the right to amend the fees payable, payment terms and other aspects of these Terms. OOSA also reserves the right, on notice to PRFP to charge, or pass on, fees for payment processing and administration.
