Arriving and departing on different days to the ones exposed above is possible if paying an extra charge (extra nights might be possible at extra cost). Students staying in apartments must leave a deposit of 50€ on the first day of class.
AIRPORT TRANSFERS
TARONJA can also pick you up at the airport at an extra cost of 40€ (60€ two people coming together). If the student wants this service he/she has to book it 3 days before his/her arrival. TARONJA students are insured by the school, inside the school through a third party and outside the school in the activities organized by the school (trips, extra activities outside the school…) Our students ARE NOT insured by TARONJA school against illness, accident, theft, loss of personal effects, or any other inconvenience. TARONJA will not accept any responsibility for such occurrences. The student should check if his home country has any kind of medical arrangement with the Spanish Social Security.

CANCELLATIONS
Due to internal policy, all cancellations must be notified to TARONJA in advance by writing. In cancellations made 30 days before the course starts, the school will refund all fees paid deducting just the enrolment fee (45€). The school will keep this amount during the current year for a possible course at a later date. After the end of the current year this amount will be kept by the school. In cancellations made 15 days before the course starts, the school will refund all fees paid deducting the deposit (150€). The school will keep this amount during the current year for a possible course at a later date. After the end of the current year this amount will be kept by the school. In cancellations made in less than 15 days before the course starts, the school will refund the student just the 60% of the course. The other 40% will be kept by the school during the current year for a possible course at a later date. After the end of the current year this amount will be kept by the school. Money WILL NOT be refunded in case a cancellation is made once the course and/or accommodation has started. Only special cases due to illness of the student, or of a close family member, will be considered upon the presentation of a medical certificate. TARONJA reserves the right to cancel courses when insufficient bookings are made, and to transfer students to other courses. In both cases a full refund of fees, including deposit money, will be made if the student should so request. Maximum number of students per class is 10, minimum is 3. If the number of students per class is less than 3, the school has the right to reduce the number of class hours to half total (because this is basically like private lessons). If the student does not want to accept this agreement he/she will only have the right to be refunded the corresponding amount to the reduced number of hours. In no case will money be refunded if a student arrives after the beginning of the course, or misses class days, under his/her responsibility. If the student cannot assist one day to his/her class, he will not reclaim the school the refund of the class, there’s no possibility to recover it. If the student will loose a whole week he has to inform about it to the School a 7days before. The teacher will say him/her if he/she can recover the whole week if there’s place in another group. But it’s not assured that the student can recover the whole week.
