ICE Terms & Conditions
1. Enrolment for a course, together with the payment of the required deposit, creates a binding agreement to follow the course and to pay the full fees regardless of changes of the student’s plans. Fees must be paid prior to the commencement of the course. Any extenuating circumstances are subject solely to the discretion of the management.
2. ICE undertakes to provide a mutually agreed course of study. If for any reason the student absents him/herself without prior arrangement no refund will be given.
3. The Directors reserve the right to expel a student if he/she does not fulfil the above requirements or for behaviour disruptive to the general conduct of the Centre. In such cases no refund fees will be given.
4. In the event of a cancellation by the student booking in advance, for whatever reason, the following will apply:
a) Cancellation must be made in writing and proof of writing must be provided by student.
b) Where a cancellation is received 7 days after enrolment there will be no refund whatsoever.
c) The deposit is non-refundable and any refund of tuition fees will be solely at the discretion of the Directors.
