Civil responsability and Accident Insurance. In order for the enrolment to be official the enrolment form from the internet must be completed, signed and sent to the company (Servicios Culturales y Deportivos del Sur S.L.) by fax, e-mail (scanned) or post. Once the signed enrolment form has been received the company will send to the parents and/or legal guardians the invoice. At the same time they receive the Guardianship consent form and the Kitesurf consent form (if the participant has chosen the Kitesurf camp) which must be signed and sent back to the company. The enrolment will be official once the downpayment of 650 Euros has been received. No enrolment will be accepted if it is not accompanied by the required deposit, which is a total of 650 Euros. If the enrolment request is sent less than 45 days before the course start date, the total cost of the contracted course should be paid in one installment. Once the signed enrolment form and the downpayment have been received the admission to the Lenguaventura programme is definitive. We will then issue the pupil's parents and/or guardians with the definitive confirmation and an information pack containing general information. Enrolments are personal and non transferable. The payment method for the course will be as follows: A deposit, to be made when the enrolment is formalised, of 650 Euros. The outstanding cost should be paid in full a minimum of four weeks prior to the start of the course, by the same means as the deposit. Failure to pay by the due date will be understood as cancellation of the pupils participation in the contracted course. If the enrolment is formalized less than 45 days prior to the course start date, the totality of the course cost should be paid in one payment. link:(disclaimer#up,[back up]) anchor:(3) <h4>THIRD: Revision of prices due to exchange rate fluctuations and variations in cost of services provided</h4>The prices of the programmes are always fixed in Euros (not in US dollars), any additional costs due to exchange rate fluctuation which occurs during the payment process, bank charges and any other commissions incurred related to the payment are the client's responsibility. Prices published before the 1st of January of the year in which the course is due to take place are a guide only, due to the fact that they are calculated based on market conditions which existed during last years courses (house rental, excursion and activity costs, laundry prices, transportation costs, insurance policy costs etc.) However prices published will be definitive as from the 1st of January of the year in which the course is due to take place. Therefore, pupils who have formalised their enrolment before the 1st of January of the year in which the course is due to take place will be notified, by the same method as the enrolment was made, of any variation in price. When the price variation is significative (more than 10% of the published price) the pupil will have the right to cancel participation in the course without penalisation, or accept the modification. If eight days after the notification of the price modification the pupil has not communicated his intention to cancel his participation, it will be understood that the modification has been accepted. link:(disclaimer#up,[back up]) anchor:(4) <h4>FOURTH: Cancellation, non arrival and abandonment of the programme by the pupil </h4>If the pupil decides to cancel his participation in the course, regardless of the cause, this should be notified by the same means as the enrolment was made, at least 30 calendar days prior to the course start date. In this case Servicios Culturales y Deportivos del Sur S.L. will retain, as compensation for damages, 325 Euros. If the cancellation is communicated between 29 and 16 calendar days prior to the course start date, Servicios Culturales y Deportivos del Sur S.L. will retain as compensation for damages 650 Euros. If the cancellation is communicated 15 calendar days or less prior to the course start date, Servicios Culturales y Deportivos del Sur S.L. will retain the totality of the money paid, given that the company have then paid all course costs and the impossibility of newly offering the reserved place. The non arrival of the pupil on the agreed arrival date to the destination (normally the airport) will be understood as cancellation of the contracted course, with the consequences outlined in the previous paragragh. In the case of the pupil abandoning the course of his own free will (or in the case of minors, that of his parents or guardians) once ocurred it will equally be understood as cancellation of the course, with the consequences outlined in the previous two paragraphs. The expulsion from the programme of any pupil, for the reasons outlined in the Conduct rules, sent with the enrolment contract, for the breach of the Lenguaventura programme rules, or due to personal circumstances (for example, physical or mental health problems) which interrupt co-existance or the proper development of the programme and which were not indicated by the pupils, parents and/or guardians at the time of enrolment, will not give the right to devolution of monies paid, and furthermore the cost of transportation to the airport, flight ticket and all other costs which may be generated during repatriation are the responsibility of the parents or guardians. If Servicios Culturales y Deportivos del Sur S.L. had to cancel the course or programme, the pupils would have the right to compensation, following the same criteria and timetable which was outlined in the previous paragraphs for cancellation by pupils.
