If you want to pay for your course in full - Book Your course
You need to send an advance payment of 150€. The rest of the course must be paid two weeks before the start.
Methods of payment and execution of the service
The customer may pay for the service in any of the following ways. During the purchase process must indicate their choice:
– Credit card VISA or MASTERCARD
All operations involving the transmission of personal or banking data are carried out using a secure environment, a server based on standard security technology SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). All the information you transmit to us travels encrypted through the network.
Likewise, your credit card details are entered directly on the bank’s website, at the POS (Point of Sale Terminal) and are not entered or recorded on any TARONJA SCHOOL server.
When paying by VISA or MASTERCARD you will always be asked for the following data: the card number, the expiry date, and a Validation Code that coincides with the last 3 digits of the number printed in italics on the back of your VISA or MASTERCARD, thus offering more guarantees about the security of the transaction.
This form of payment is only valid on the web.
When the amount of a purchase has been fraudulently or improperly charged using a payment card number, the cardholder can demand the immediate cancellation of the charge. In this case, the corresponding debit and credit entries on the supplier’s and cardholder’s accounts will be made as soon as possible.
However, if the purchase had been effectively carried out by the holder of the card and the demand of return was not a consequence of having exercised the right of withdrawal or of resolution and, therefore, it had demanded unduly the cancellation of the corresponding charge, that one will be obliged in front of VILLA-HERBA SL to the indemnification of the damages caused as consequence of the above mentioned cancellation.
VILLA-HERBA SL commits itself to carry out the service in a maximum of days, from the day following the request of benefit of the same one.
The availability of services offered by TARONJA SCHOOL may vary depending on the service. In case of non-execution due to unavailability, TARONJA SCHOOL will notify the client by e-mail as soon as it becomes aware of this situation. The period of this communication will not exceed the maximum period of 30 days. TARONJA SCHOOL may give the client the double option of: offering the client, without an increase in price, a service of similar characteristics or superior quality, or unless there are justified and demonstrable reasons by TARONJA SCHOOL within this same period, pay the amounts paid for the cancelled service. In case TARONJA SCHOOL does not make this payment within the indicated period, the buyer may claim for double payment of the amount due, without prejudice to his right to be compensated.
Cancellations
PANDEMIC: during the pandemic we accept cancellations up to one week before the start of the course.
For internal organizational reasons, cancellations must be notified to TARONJA SCHOOL in writing. For cancellations made 30 days before the start of the course, the school will refund the student the payments made except for the 45€ of the registration fee which will remain during the current year in the student’s balance, for a possible later course during that year. At the end of the year this amount will be transferred to the school’s account.
For cancellations made 15 days before the start of the course, the school will return to the student the payments made except for the 150€ deposit that will remain during the current year in the student’s account, for a possible later course during that year. At the end of the year this amount will be transferred to the school’s account.
For cancellations made less than 15 days before the start of the course, the school will return to the student only 60% of the total price of the course, the remaining 40% will remain during the current year in the student’s account, for a possible later course during that year. At the end of the year this amount will be transferred to the school’s account.
In no case will the amount of the course be refunded once the course has started. Of course, the cases of illness of the student or a close relative, always guaranteed by a medical certificate, will be taken into account as special. TTARONJA SCHOOL reserves the right to cancel courses with fewer reservations than necessary, in these cases the student will be refunded the full amount paid.
Delay in the beginning of the course
If a student arrives later than the start date, or misses class days at his/her own risk, he/she will not be able to demand any kind of economic refund from TARONJA SCHOOL. That is to say, when the student does not attend class, he will not have the opportunity to make up for it. Only if the student has to miss a whole week and wants to make up the missed week, he/she must notify the head of studies one week in advance in case he/she can make up this week later by joining an existing group.
