Terms and Conditions

Last Updated: 5 April 2026

Welcome to The Oxford Essay. These Terms and Conditions outline the rules and regulations for the use of our website and the services provided by The Oxford Essay, operated by The Oxchange Ltd (UK Company #15574889), located at 5 Elstree Gate, Elstree Way, Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom, WD6 1JD.

By accessing this website, registering for our competition, or enrolling in our educational services, you accept these Terms and Conditions in full. Do not continue to use The Oxford Essay if you do not agree to all of the terms and conditions stated on this page.

• Definitions: "Client," "Student," "You," and "Your" refer to you, the person logging onto this website and compliant with the Company’s terms. "The Company," "Ourselves," "We," "Our," and "Us," refer to The Oxchange Ltd.
• Services: The Oxford Essay provides academic competitions, Test Preparation Services for the LNAT (National Admissions Test for Law), and Research & Writing tutorials (1:1 and small group classes).

By submitting an entry to The Oxford Essay Competition, you agree to the following strict academic integrity guidelines:

• Originality: All submitted essays must be entirely the student's original work. You may not use an essay that you have previously written for another contest. You must properly cite all external sources; any incidences of plagiarism will immediately disqualify the essay from further consideration.
• Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy: The use of AI generation tools (including, but not limited to, ChatGPT) is strictly prohibited. If we detect that a student has used AI to write or generate their essay, they will be instantly disqualified or asked to resubmit at the sole discretion of the judging panel.
• Intellectual Property: By submitting an essay, the student retains the copyright to their work. However, the student grants The Oxford Essay a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to publish, display, and distribute the essay for promotional and educational purposes.
• Decisions: All decisions made by The Oxford Essay judging committee regarding scores, placements, and scholarship allocations are final and not subject to appeal.

We offer highly specialized LNAT preparation and Research & Writing classes taught by our expert faculty. The following terms apply to all educational services:

• No Guarantee of Results: While our faculty provides world-class instruction, The Oxford Essay does not and cannot guarantee specific LNAT scores, university admission, or academic grades resulting from our tutorials. Admission to institutions such as the University of Oxford or Cambridge is highly competitive and relies on factors outside our control.
• Scheduling and Cancellations: * All 1:1 tutorials must be scheduled in advance through our booking system.
  • Clients must provide a minimum of 24 hours' written notice to cancel or reschedule a 1:1 tutorial. Failure to provide 24 hours' notice will result in the forfeiture of that session without a refund.
  • Group class schedules are fixed. If a student misses a group class, no partial refunds or dedicated make-up sessions will be provided, though course materials will be made available.
• Faculty Assignment: While we strive to match students with their preferred tutors, The Oxford Essay reserves the right to substitute faculty members for 1:1 or group sessions in the event of illness, scheduling conflicts, or emergencies.

• Payments: All fees for the essay competition entry (if applicable), LNAT test prep, and tutorial classes must be paid in full prior to the commencement of services.
• Refunds: * Tutorials & Classes: A full refund will be issued if the client cancels in writing at least 7 days before the first scheduled session. No refunds will be issued once the first session has commenced or if the cancellation occurs within 7 days of the start date.
  • Competitions: Entry fees for the Oxford Essay Competition (if applicable) are strictly non-refundable once the essay has been submitted for review.

The Oxford Essay maintains a zero-tolerance policy for disruptive, disrespectful, or inappropriate behavior during our 1:1 tutorials and small group classes. We reserve the right to immediately suspend or terminate a student's enrolment, without refund, if they engage in harassment, bullying, or failure to comply with the instructions of our faculty.

Unless otherwise stated, The Oxchange Ltd owns the intellectual property rights for all material on The Oxford Essay website, including but not limited to LNAT prep materials, syllabi, writing frameworks, and proprietary course documents.
