5. Cooling-Off Period
   The PEI shall provide the Student with a cooling-off period of [7] working days after signing this Agreement. Within these [7] days and regardless whether the Course Commencement Date has passed, the Student can submit written notice of withdrawal to the PEI and receive the Maximum Refund amount stipulated by the PEI under SC Clause 2.4 (less any Course Fees consumed by the Student if the withdrawal date is later than the Course Commencement Date and the Student has started the Course, any PEI administrative charges which are stipulated in the Miscellaneous Fees and any applicable bank administrative charges properly paid/payable under SC Clause 3). Any dispute in respect of how much Course Fees have been consumed pursuant to this clause shall be referred to mediation at the Singapore Mediation Centre (SMC) or Singapore Institute of Arbitrators (SIArb) through the CPE Student Services Centre pursuant to SC Clause 5.4, and only in respect of such decision, the decision of the Singapore Mediation Centre (SMC) or Singapore Institute of Arbitrators (SIArb) shall be final and binding on all parties.

   The PEI shall also bring to the Student’s notice SC Schedule 3 by notifying the student of his rights under the cooling-off period, and receive written acknowledgement as provided therein by the Student that SC Schedule 3 has been brought to his notice. In the event that the notice in SC Schedule 3 has not been brought to the Student’s attention, the cooling-off period of [7] working days shall only commence from the date that SC Schedule 3 has been brought to the Student’s notice, and the Student has acknowledged the same. The Student shall have the right to withdraw from the Course and receive a refund as stated in this SC Clause 2.5 anytime before the notice in SC Schedule 3 has been brought to the Student’s attention.

6. Deemed Withdrawal:
   A Student who transfers from the Course to another course with the PEI shall, for the purposes of this SC Clause 2, be deemed to have withdrawn from the Course and the provisions of SC Clause 2.4 shall apply save as otherwise agreed between the PEI and the Student.

   Further to SC Clause 2.6, a fresh PEI-Student Contract under this format shall be executed between the PEI and the Student for any change of Course, whether with the same PEI or otherwise.
