In the event of a student’s cancellation, the school may not receive more than

  2. a pro rata portion of the total price, representing the proportion of services used or completed.
  3. In addition the seller may receive the cost of any ancillary goods (study materials, exam) the buyer has received and used.

Any refund will be paid within ten days of cancellation. Cancellation will occur when the student mails the school notice of his intent to cancel; or when the school has actual notice of the student’s intention to cancel; or when the student fails to attend consecutive scheduled classes constituting at least 25 percent of the total lessons or time contracted for, without informing the school in writing that s/he intends to cancel.
