Terms and Conditions
Enrolment

The number of places on each Course is strictly limited and you are advised to return your application form as early as possible. To make a booking you should return your completed booking form with a 10% deposit to Our World English Schools. If the registration is made within 30 days of the start of the course, full payment must be made immediately. The deposit cheque or bank draft should be payable to Our World English Schools and must be in sterling, drawn on a London bank. The deposit should be returned with the booking form, and enrolment is valid once receipt of deposit has been confirmed by us in writing. Once the full fee has been received the enrolment will be valid and students will be sent details of airport meeting arrangements.


Cancellation

An enrolment may be cancelled if, before the start of the Course, the student, a parent or brother or sister suffers sudden serious illness, accident or death. At the discretion of Our World English Schools, a partial refund may be made in the same circumstances if the student has already started the Course. Appropriate medical certificates will be required confirming the reason for cancellation. Cancellation for any other reason, excepting failure to obtain a visa, will not qualify for a refund of any sort.

Visas

Visas may be required. We will be happy to provide a letter of acceptance to assist the student in obtaining a visa. Where a visa application fails, all payments will be refunded in full.

Insurance

Our World English Schools do not insure the student against illness, accident or theft or loss of personal possessions. Students are strongly advised to have insurance cover against cancellation, loss of personal possessions and money and against personal accident, however caused. We will be happy to provide details of UK student insurers.

Liability

It shall be the condition of the contract between Our World English Schools and the student that Our World English Schools shall not in any way be liable to the student in the event that any service contracted to be supplied by Our World English Schools becomes impossible to supply due to reasons outside our control.

Personal Possessions

Although students will be offered the chance to hand in their passports, return tickets, pocket money and valuable personal possessions at the start of the Course and although every possible care will be taken with these items, no responsibility will be taken for the loss or theft of such items.


Promotional Materials

Our World may wish to use photographs or video images of students on the course for future promotional purposes. If parents do not wish to permit this for their children they should write to the Course Director to that effect before the start of the course.
