Terms and conditionsAll enrolments are subject to the following

conditions which become legally binding on

acceptance of enrolment by Embassy Academy.

1. Payment of fees

All fees including the application fee must be

paid in full no later than 14 days before arrival.

Transfers and accommodation will not be

confi rmed until all monies have been paid in full.

2. Services

The company reserves the right to change the

particulars of the services, including changes

to courses, locations, facilities and dates of the

programmes where circumstances beyond the

company’s control necessitate such changes or

where the number of bookings received does not

reach the minimum numbers required to operate

a course viably.

3. General refund policy

All refunds will be sent to the account of the

Embassy Academy representative to whom the

fees were originally paid, or to the individual

from whom Embassy Academy has received

the original direct payment. If a student’s visa

application is rejected after payment has been

received all fees, excluding any cancellation fees

detailed in the Cancellation Policy below, will be

refunded within 28 days, provided a visa refusal

letter is received by our International Admissions

Centre at least two working days before the

course is due to start and the student has fulfi lled

all requirements for a visa application. No refund

will be made if a visa rejection is based on

student’s failure to meet the necessary criteria for

their chosen visa category.

4. Cancellation policy

Embassy Academy defi nes cancellation as

the period prior to start of fi rst course. All

cancellations must be made in writing to our

International Admissions Centre. The following

refund policies apply.

Where cancellations are received in writing more

than 14 days before the fi rst course start date

100% of package price will be refunded, but any

application fee, courier fee, or airport transfer

fee is non-refundable. Where cancellations are

received in writing 14 days or less prior to the fi rst

course start date, 30% of the package price will

be charged. Any application fee, courier fee or

airport transfer fee is non-refundable.

5. Withdrawal policy

termination of a course after the fi rst course

has started. Any withdrawal must be made in

writing to our International Admissions Centre.

Application Fee, Courier Fee, airport transfer

fee and StudyCare will not be refunded for any

student terminating their course after arrival.

6. Visas

Some students require a student visa or tourist

visa. Students should contact their local embassy,

Consulate or High Commission to ensure they

are allowed to enter and study in their chosen

country. Arranging the correct Visa is the sole

responsibility of the student or agent. No visa

support documentation will be provided until all

fees have been received.

7. Accident and medical insurance

Every student must have appropriate insurance

and provide a document with the student’s name

and date of coverage as proof. The company

recommends that all students take our own

StudyCare insurance which is tailored to the

needs of international students. Cover under the

StudyCare insurance policy does not commence

on arrival. Students without insurance must

take StudyCare. Full details of what StudyCare

insurance includes can be found on our website

and in the parent guide.

8. Liability

Embassy Academy and its staff and

representatives will not be liable for loss, damage

caused, except where liability is expressly

imposed by law. Embassy Academy will not be

liable in the event that any service contracted

to be supplied by Embassy Academy becomes

impossible to supply for any reason or any cause

outside the control of Embassy.

9. Behaviour and discipline

As all our students choose our courses to obtain

the best programme possible we owe it to all

our guests to make sure that they can study and

enjoy the stage to the fullest. Embassy Academy

reserves the right to terminate the programme

of any person or group whose behaviour is likely

in our opinion to cause distress, damage or

danger to other participants, Embassy Academy

employees or anyone else. Embassy Academy

reserves the right to terminate the programme

of any person or group whose behaviour is

contrary to applicable local laws. This behaviour

includes but is not limited to: under-age purchase

or consumption of alcohol, procession of illegal

substances, damage to property, threatening or

violent behaviour.

10. Our student discipline procedure

Our general discipline procedure in cases of

misbehaviour is as follows: in the fi rst instance

a student will be given a verbal warning. If

the incident is repeated then the student can

immediately be issued with a written warning, the

second stage of our discipline procedure. Once

a written warning has been issued, Embassy

Academy would contact the agent as soon as

possible, allowing differences in time zones.

Any student who has been issued with a written

warning will be made fully aware that any further

incidents will result in removal from the centre.

11. Expulsion

Students or group leaders who disregard the

rules laid down by our staff may be sent home.

Embassy Academy will not be liable for any costs

incurred in repatriating a person or group to their

country of origin. No refunds will be made for any

programme missed as a result of such termination

and such decision is fi nal. Students and their

parents or guardians, where applicable, agree to

pay the tuition fees and other charges applicable

for the course on the due dates. It is understood

and agreed that failure to do this may result in

suspension from the programme and cancellation

of the enrolment.

12. Resolution of disputes

If a student, group leader or agent wishes to

complain about any aspect of the services

provided by Embassy Academy, such complaint

must initially be made to the Centre Manager or

representative on site. Each complaint will be fully

investigated provided that it is received within

a month of the course ending, it was initially

registered in writing with an on-site representative

or Centre Manager and all fees have been paid in

full. In the event that the matter is not resolved,

the student or group leader or agent should make

a complaint in writing to the Embassy Academy

head offi ce (see back cover).

13. Promotional activity

The student (and, where applicable, his or her

parent or guardian): (i) agrees that the student’s

photographs, videos, artwork or other works,

as well as recorded or written testimonials and

details of the student’s achievements (“Student

Images and Testimonials”) may be used by Study

worldwide for promotional purposes including in

its printed and online marketing materials and on

any social media network without further consent

or notifi cation; and (ii) gives consent to Study

Group storing, or transferring across international

borders , copies of the Student Images and

Testimonials for such purposes.

14. Data protection

accordance with its data protection registration

and the national data protection laws applicable.

Our Privacy Policy is available on the Embassy

Academy website.

processing charge of £50 for UK and $100 for

USA per pocket money transfer.

16. Force majeure
