Terms and conditions of payments

Schedule of Payment

To reserve a space, you must pay an application fee of $450 (which is part of the total cost of the course and is not an extra or supplement.) The remainder of the cost of the course program is due 60 days before the course begins to which the student has enrolled.

Participants can pay in full at once to avoid additional bank charges (but remember your space is not reserved until we receive at least a $450 deposit).

The cost of the course is expressed in US dollars, not in Euros or other currencies.

Refund policy

If you cancel your participation, only the USD 450 deposit is refunded, and only if you request it within 20 days of paying it.

The balance of the course, paid 60 days before the start, is not refundable.

However, if you cancel for any reason, all the money paid can be converted into credit for any course in the current year or the following season.

Exceptions with a full refund of everything paid: if the Institute cancels the session, and if the student's Schengen visa is refused (with the official refusal document).

A place cannot be transferred to another person if you cannot attend.

There is no refund available for participants who decide to leave before the scheduled date.

Right of Refusal

-If for any reason the elected session is canceled, all payments are 100% refundable, travel expenses not included.

- Participants that do not participate on a daily basis in the scheduled activities will not be allowed to stay in the residency and asked to leave the course. There is no refund available for participants that decide to leave the course early.

-The program director reserves the right to expel a participant from the program should that person's behavior compromise the safety, research objectives and general performance of the group, or violate European laws, regulations or customs. In the case of expulsion, the participant loses all rights to the program (including room and board). In the case of expulsion, program payment is non-refundable.
