Once we receive your initial deposit your application is confirmed. The balance due for accommodation and course fees should be paid before or on the first day of school.

Payment for accommodation must be paid in cash.

All bank fees related to money transfers must be paid by the applicant.

Any payment already received will be refunded less the Euro 70 handling fee and the Euro 30 enrollment fee if cancellation is notified 3 weeks or more days before the beginning of the Spanish course.

For cancellations notified less than 3 weeks days prior to the first course we will refund neither the initial deposit nor the enrollment fee. Any other payment already received will be refunded.

For cancellations 2 working days prior to the first course or during the stay we cannot refund any money.

Should the student not be able to make the class he signed up for due to unusual personal circumstances, such as illness or accident, he should let us know in writing by certified letter, including the reason for the absence together with a physicians letter or an admission slip from the hospital. Please note that this only applies if the person affected is the student, not family members. Any payment already received will be refunded
less a Euro 75 handling fee and the Euro 40 enrollment fee.

Cancellation of any of the booked packages upon arrival will carry a 30% cancellation fee of the full price of the chosen activity. Fees for Spanish classes and accommodation will be charged in this case according to the
official price list (without the discount for packages).

There is no refund for parts of the programme waived due to illness, early departure, delayed arrival or other reasons. Lost days cannot be compensated at a later time. Voluntarily dropped courses are not transferable to third parties or family members.

The cleaning of the apartments is the responsibility of the students during their whole stay.

Waste disposal is the responsibility of each student and must be taken care of frequently. All students are asked to turn off the lights when they leave the house and also to make sure that there is no waste in the
consumption of water, electricity and gas.

Students are required to inform the school about damages in the apartment.
