If the Buyer decide to terminate an on line course and not attend the rest of the pre-paid lessons within three months from the date of purchase, no refund will be made.
On site courses can be canceled if the cancellation is communicated in writing by the person that booked the course. A cancellation will cause cancellation charges as specified below:

After the start of course, the Seller will pay no refunds except for causes beyond Buyer’s reasonable control (force majeur) or serious medical reasons (medical certificate required). To avoid or minimize cancellation fees, the Buyer may present another person to participate in the course in his place or may request ahead of time to postpone the course to another date.
