All enrolments are subject to the following conditions which become legally binding on acceptance of enrolment by Embassy Summer.
1. Payment of FeesAll fees including enrolment fee must be paid in full no later than 14 days before arrival. Transfers and accommodation will not be confirmed until all monies have been paid in full. No students will be allowed to participate in the programme unless payment is received in full prior to course commencement.
2. ServicesThe company reserves the right to change the particulars of the services, including changes to courses, locations, accommodation, facilities and dates of the programmes where circumstances beyond the companys 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 PolicyAll refunds will be sent to the account of the Embassy representative to whom the fees were originally paid, or to the individual from whom Embassy has received the original direct payment. If a students 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 fulfilled all requirements for a visa application. Students in San Diego and Los Angeles must sign a California State Enrolment & Refund Agreement form. Refunds will be processed according to these terms and conditions. In the unlikely event that the school is unable to deliver a course in full, the student will be offered the refund amount in accordance with the above paragraph. The refund will be paid within 14 days of the day on which the course ceased being provided. Alternatively, the student may be offered enrolment in a suitable alternative course by the school at no extra cost. The student has the right to choose whether they would prefer a full refund of course fees, or to accept a place on another course. If they choose placement on another course, Embassy will ask them to sign a document to indicate acceptance of the placement.
4. Cancellation PolicyEmbassy defines cancellation as the period prior to start of first course. All cancellations must be made in writing to our International Admissions Centre. The following refund policies apply. Refunds before Arrival: Where cancellations are received in writing more than 14 days before the first course start date 100% of package price will be refunded, but any application fee, courier fee, airport transfer fee are non-refundable. Where cancellations are received in writing 14 days or less prior to the first course start date, 30% of the package price will be charged. Enrolment and airport transfer fees are non-refundable.
5. Withdrawal PolicyEmbassy defines withdrawal as termination of a course after the first course has started. Any withdrawal must be made in writing to our International Admissions Centre. No refunds will be given once the course has commenced.
6. Travel DetailsStudents that have booked an airport transfer must send details to our International Admissions Centre at least three full working days prior to their designated arrival time. If notice is not received the company may not be able to provide a transfer.
7. VisasSome students require a student Visa or tourist Visa. Students should contact their local embassy, Consulate or High Commission for additional information and entry requirements to their country of choice. 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.
8. Accident and Medical InsuranceIt is a condition of making a booking with Embassy that all students have appropriate medical insurance. To cover you as a student at Embassy, you can purchase StudyCare. This policy will cover you for loss of personal possessions, travel delay, as well as providing medical insurance until the end of your programme. You can either purchase StudyCare insurance as part of your application process, or students not wishing to take StudyCare must present an equivalent insurance certificate at enrolment (translated in English). Any medical costs (including transportation and prescription medication) are the responsibility of the individual. Full details of what StudyCare Insurance includes can be found on our website. In the USA, no student will be allowed to attend classes or participate in the activity programme without proof of medical insurance coverage upon arrival at the centre.
9. Liability Embassy and its staff and representatives will not be liable for loss, damage or injury to persons or property howsoever caused, except where liability is expressly imposed by law. Embassy will not be liable in the event that any service contracted to be supplied by Embassy becomes impossible to supply for any reason or any cause outside the control of Embassy.
10. Key/damage depositOn arrival at centre every student must pay a deposit of 30 (UK centres) or $100 (USA centres). This deposit will be returned at the end of the students stay subject to any damages caused or lost keys.
11. Student Welfare Embassy is committed to safeguarding and protecting children in its care from harm (these children are defined as any person under 18 years old enrolled on any given part of an Embassy course). Embassy will apply this policy equally to all children regardless of gender, ethnicity, disability, sexuality or belief. The department expects all staff, agents and external service providers to share this commitment in order to create and maintain a safe and suitable summer school environment.
12. Student Discipline Our general discipline procedure in cases of misbehaviour is as follows: in the first instance a student will be given a verbal warning. If this incident is repeated then the student can receive additional sanctions such as detention or removal from activities. Should a student continue to misbehave a written warning is issued. Once a written warning has been issued, Embassy will contact the agent or guardian 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.
Embassy reserves the right to terminate the programme of any person or group whose behaviour is likely to cause distress, damage or danger to other participants, Embassy employees or anyone else. Embassy 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, possession of illegal substances, damage to property, threatening or violent behaviour.
13. Expulsion Student or group leaders who disregard the rules laid down outlined by our staff may be expelled. Embassy will not be liable for any costs incurred in this process. No refunds will be made for any programme missed as a result of such termination.
14. Resolution of Disputes If a student, agent or their representative wishes to complain about any aspect of the services provided by Embassy, such a complaint should be made in writing to the Centre Manager. If not resolved, this should be addressed to the Embassy Head Office. 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.

16. Data Protection Any information provided to Embassy may be held on computer and shall be used in accordance with its data protection registration and the national data protection laws applicable. Our Privacy Policy is available on the Embassy website.
17. Further Information Pocket money requests will incur a processing charge of 50 in the UK. In the USA, guardians or parents are requested to send money through Western Union wire transfer services; sending parties will be responsible for any fees paid directly to Western Union. Students will be required to present proper identification, confirmation number and amount to be received, before any funds are disbursed by Western Union.
18. Force Majeure Embassy is not liable in the event where it is unable to fulfil any service to which it is contractually bound because of fire, natural disaster, acts of government, failure of suppliers or subcontractors, labour disputes or other reasons which are outside its control.
