Terms of Service

Travel
The participant is responsible for arranging and paying for his/her travel to the destination country. This includes airfare and/or other transportation costs to and from the destination country as well as all local transportation costs.

It is the participant’s responsibility to carry the necessary documents when traveling internationally (e.g. valid passport). Language Plus may advise the participant on required travel documents, but Language Plus is not responsible for ensuring the participant’s travel documents are in proper order to travel. Participants are solely responsible for ensuring their travel documents are up to date and valid for their planned travel.

Insurance

Language Plus does not provide participants with insurance of any kind. Travel insurance is strongly recommended for each participant and participants should purchase this prior to departing on their trip. The participant is responsible for evaluating and determining the kind of insurance coverage he/she should have.

Refund Policy

Language Plus must receive full payment prior to program start date.

A full refund less the non-refundable deposit is made if you cancel prior to the start of classes.

If you withdraw prior to attending 50% of registered hours, a 50% refund of program fee is made.

If you withdraw after attending 50% of registered hours, no refund is made.

Refunds are issued within thirty (30) days of the first class or last date of attendance.

24-hour notice is required if you cancel a private class otherwise you are charged for the class.

There is no provision for making up missed classes in group programs.
