Cancellation

Where a student fails to pay any outstanding fees, Strategix reserves the right to cancel their enrolment and continue to seek payment for any outstanding debt. Reasonable opportunities will be afforded to students to pay outstanding fees.

Debt Collection

Where Strategix must engage the services of external parties (e.g. solicitors, debt collection agencies) to recover unpaid invoices (after a final written notice has been given), all fees and charges relating to these services will be payable by the client (in addition to the original amounts invoiced). If such cases arise, the client agrees to the legal jurisdiction of Queensland.
