before arrival (Friday) and must be in writing (letter, telegram, e-mail or fax). Written evidence of the cancellation is required and therefore cancellations made by telephone will not be deemed valid.

course has started (except in the case of the refund guarantee). 4. In the event that a credit note is granted due to exceptional circumstances, the credit will only

Credit is valid only for the geographic region in which it was issued and not transferable to another area (i.e., credit issued in Spain is not valid for courses in Latin America).

5. For all reimbursements we will charge an administrative fee to cover the administrative costs of returning your money, as well as the standard fee for changes in the reservation ($45).

6. Refunds must be requested during the 30 days following the completion of the course or cancellation. Once this period is complete, the student no longer has the right to request any refunds.

7. In the event of a cancellation or course reduction, original prices will be applied whether or not the student has opted for a special discount or promotion. For example, if due to the length of the course, the student received a discount at the time of booking, on cancellation this will be lost.

GOLD OR SILVER CANCELLATION GUARANTEE FOR TRIP INTERRUPTION1. We recommend one of our special cancellation guarantees if you are taking a course that is

longer than 2 weeks. The cost of this guarantee is 4% (Silver) or 6% (Gold) of the total sum of the full program invoice (non-refundable) and the cancellation guarantee for trip interruption must be signed and paid in full upon at least 15 days before arrival in order for it to be valid.

2. With the “Silver” cancellation guarantee for trip interruption you will be able to cancel your program under certain circumstances: securing a job with a duration of at least one year; serious illness or accident resulting in hospitalization; death of the insured, their spouse, direct ascendants, descendants, siblings; being called to court proceedings or as a member of an electoral board; summons for major surgery with hospitalization of the insured and their spouse; placement for the adoption of a child; organ transplant to or from the insured, their spouse, direct ascendants, descendants, siblings, brother/sister-in-law, son/daughter-in-law, father/mother-in-law; the cancellation of a registered and insured companion obliging them to travel alone; bankruptcy of the travel agency or cancellation of the trip by the airline; natural disaster.

3. With the “Gold” cancellation guarantee for trip interruption you can cancel all or part of the course for any reason.

4. When a cancellation is made and you need to use the cancellation guarantee for trip interruption, we will refund the cost of your course and accommodation if you cancel your course at any time from your arrival date until the end of your course. Your guaranteed refund will NOT include: your application fee, the cost of one week and services already used at the time of cancellation (if the student makes that cancellation on a Monday, otherwise both the week of cancellation and the following week will be charged), the cost of the guarantee itself and 4% of the amount to be refunded (minimum of $90) to cover administrative costs.

5. In order to cancel a language program, the student must give notice via e-mail to [email protected] We will take the day following the day on which the e-mail is sent as the official cancellation day of the course. Until an e-mail is received the cancellation will not be valid. For this reason it is important that the student is certain that the e-mail has been received. If the student is covered under the Silver Cancellation guarantee for trip interruption then they will have a maximum of 15 days starting from the day the e-mail is sent to produce the necessary evidence to back up the motive for their cancellation. If the student is covered by the Gold Cancellation guarantee for trip interruption, this step is not necessary. The money will be returned within 30 days of the official cancellation date.

6. The cancellation guarantee for trip interruption is personal and non-transferable and is only valid upon the students’ arrival at the school. Students who require and have obtained the visa through Academia Columbus can buy the cancellation guarantee for trip interruption but cancellations will be only considered once the student provides proof of leaving the country. In these cases 8% of the amount to be refunded will be charged to cover administrative costs.

7. If you have enrolled for a course that is over 5 weeks long and you use the cancellation guarantee for trip interruption, you should be aware that prices may change depending on how many weeks you’ll be doing eventually. That is, if you enrolled for 12 weeks and unfortunately you need to reduce your course to 4 weeks, the 4 week prices will be applied.

REFUNDS1. Following the request or after the examination of all documents in the case of the cancellation

guarantee for trip interruption by bank transfer, a refund will be given within 30 days.2. Refunds can only be made and money can only be transferred to the student who booked the

course or to the account from where the payment has been made. Refunds will never be made out to anyone other than the student or the guardian who paid for the reservation.

3. For all refunds we will charge an administrative fee of 10% of the amount to be refunded (a minimum of $95).

CUSTOMER SERVICE1. Notwithstanding the provisions of this agreement excluding any legal obligation or liability on

its part, Academia Columbus will, in the event of a complaint by a student against an overseas body in connection with its preferred course or associated accommodation, endeavor to use its best means to rectify the situation of the student involved, provided that such a complaint is notified to the appropriate body abroad as soon as is reasonably possible, and that the student has exhausted all other feasible solutions in the overseas country involved.

2. Any complaints need to be given in writing and within the first 24 hours. Otherwise students will lose the right to any compensation, refund or changes. Academia Columbus will accept any suggestions after departure date or requests only on a information level and to improve our services.

COPYRIGHTThe management of Academia Columbus reserves the right to use all possible photos taken during the student’s stay unless the student declares otherwise on his arrival at the school.PROTECTION OF PERSONAL DATAIn compliance with Spanish Law 15/1999, December 13, regarding the protection of personal data, Academia Columbus would like to inform you that your personal details within these general conditions will be stored in a database (whose liability and responsibility is Columbus Spanish schools, S.L.), solely for the commercial and operative purposes of the company. By accepting these general conditions, you give your consent to the use of your information for the above mentioned purposes.
