Key points

f. If the Student is late for a session, the TCP may choose to but is not obligated to work beyond the scheduled end time, and the session will be charged at the usual price, whether or not the TCP works beyond the scheduled end time.

Provided the replacement candidates meets Speech Etiquette’s criteria for suitability for the job in terms of subject and level knowledge and is available at the same time or another time convenient for the client, then Speech Etiquette has fulfilled its obligations and no refunds can be granted if the client wishes to terminate prior to the end of the course.
