Conditions and Registration Process
of Language School Worldwide, S.L. (LSW)

Language School Worldwide, S.L. (LSW) is an independent agency representing the language schools which appear on its web pages. It is authorised to promote the aforementioned schools and register students on their courses.

Governing Law and Rules

The registration process will be subject to these conditions as governed by the laws of Spain, especially Law 1/2007: The Consumer and User Defense Act, passed November 16; and Law 34/2002: The Information Society and Electronic Commerce Services Act, passed July 11, 2002.

Presentation of the course and the delivery of all other contracted services will be governed by the school's own rules and the laws and customs of the country in which the course is held. In particular, they are governed by the conditions stipulated by the school in "Terms and Conditions" of Sampere Ecuador.

Registration Process

a) Application.- The registration process begins when the student applies for the course by submitting the form below through this web page. It must be completed properly, as indicated in the instructions on the form.

The student may take out an insurance policy if he or she wishes. Insurance is obligatory if the student is a minor.

b) Provisional Confirmation.- LSW will send the student a provisional confirmation of registration via e-mail, indicating the cost of the course and any supplemental items selected by the student. In addition, this provisional confirmation will indicate whether the student will need a visa to enter and remain in the school's country for the required period of time.
Provisional confirmation does not guarantee a reserved place in the course.
If the information on the web page contains any error, LSW may notify the student, who may then choose whether or not to continue the registration process.

c) Payment.- After receiving provisional confirmation, the student must pay a 300 euro deposit except in the following two cases:

If less than six weeks remain before the first day of the course, the student must remit full payment for the course and all supplemental items.
If a visa is needed, the student must also remit full payment for the course and all supplemental items. The school will send the student a letter of invitation to the course, needed when applying for a visa through the consulate or embassy of the country in which the school is located.

The appropriate payment must be made within ten working days after receiving provisional confirmation.
LSW reserves the right to cancel the registration if payment is not made on time.
Fees for the course and all other selected items, minus the amount of the deposit, must be paid at least three weeks before the first day of the requested course. LSW will acknowledge receipt by e-mail.
Non-payment of any sum will result in cancellation of registration.

d) Final Confirmation.- Once the deposit or full amount is paid, LSW will contact the student by e-mail to confirm the sum received and provide final confirmation of registration.
If the reservation cannot be completed because the requested course and housing are unavailable, then the registration will be canceled and any payment received will be refunded. LSW will, however, offer the student an alternative course with similar characteristics to the one requested if such a course exists.

Minors

Underage students must submit written authorization from a parent or legal guardian through completion of the permission form that will arrive with the provisional confirmation. The signature on the form must be authenticated by a bank or notary, and the form must be returned to LSW's mailing address.

In the case of a minor, taking out an insurance policy is obligatory.

Withdrawal and cancellation

The student may withdraw from the course during seven working days after the final confirmation is received, providing he or she withdraws up to four weeks before the course starts. LSW will return amounts paid in such a case.

Apart from the right to withdraw described above, the student may cancel at any time before the course begins. As a general rule, he or she will have the right to a refund of the amount paid minus the following cancellation fees:

A fee of €100 for cancellations up to and including 30 calendar days before the course starts.
A fee of €200 for cancellations less than 30 days and up to 14 calendar days before the course starts.
A fee of €500 for cancellations 14 calendar days and less before the course starts.

Cancellations on the day the course starts or during the course are not permitted. No refunds will be made for full or partial non-attendance.

If the conditions for the chosen course differ from these general rules regarding withdrawal and cancellation, the student will be informed thereof when they receive the provisional confirmation.

Withdrawals and cancellations must be made in writing.

Data Protection

The student's personal data, supplied by the student as part of the registration and contracting process for the course, will be used exclusively for that purpose. To that end, this data will be kept in a file of necessary information as set forth and required by regulations affecting the protection of personal data. The student may exercise the right to access, correct, cancel, or challenge the recorded personal data at any time.
