Terms & Conditions
Based on our long-term
experience in teaching and in organizing language
travels abroad we have carefully designed our
language programs. The IIC-Terms & Conditions are the
basis of the contract between you and the IIC. They are
set out to avoid misunderstandings and to contribute to
your success.
This agreement
This agreement is legally binding from the moment you
send us back the completed registration form or when we
confirm your booking in writing.
Payment Conditions
We require the whole amount for courses and
accommodation to be transferred to one of our bank
accounts at least three weeks prior to the course
starting date. In case of short-term enrolments (less
than three weeks before the course start) it is possible
to pay the whole amount in cash, traveler’s checks or by
credit card (plus surcharge) on the first day of the
course directly at the institute.
Information and services
The IIC is only liable for information and services
covered by the current brochure which is valid during
the course time and for information and services
performed only by the IIC itself. The IIC is not bound
to information and services performed by third parties,
especially by hotels. The IIC is only bound to the
information and services that have been actually
confirmed by the IIC itself.
Cancellation by the client
Cancellation by the client must be notified to the IIC
office in writing. The day notification is received at
the IIC office is the designated cancellation day. If
the client cancels his booking, the IIC reserves the
right to charge cancellation fees for preparations
previously completed. Depending on the day of receipt
the IIC charges the following cancellation fees which
apply to the complete price:
- up to 21 days prior to the course
starting date: 10 %
- between 20 to 14 days prior to
the course starting date: 20 %
- between 13 to 7 days prior to the
course starting date: 30 %
- within the last 6 days prior to
the course starting date and
in the case of ‘no show’: 40 %
Booking amendments
If the client requires booking amendments (e.g.
concerning the traveling dates, course place, course
type or accommodation) after the conclusion of the
contract, the IIC may charge an amended fee of USD 70.-
(EUR 60.- / CHF 90.-). The IIC will be forced to charge
the client for any costs arising from third parties
(e.g. hotels) due to client booking amendments.
Services not claimed
For any services the client does not claim (due to his
decision of an earlier return journey, due to sickness
or other reasons or external factors not within IIC
control) the IIC is not bound to refund these services. |
