Service agreement between you and EUREKA

This service agreement shows that EUREKA is transparent about everything it does.

Even though this is a long document, it clearly states all terms and conditions for taking a EUREKA course.

I understand that this is a service agreement between EUREKA, School of Spanish Language, (located in Madrid, Spain) here in referred to as “EUREKA” and myself, the applicant.

This service agreement is subject to the laws of the Kingdom of Spain.

1. Application

Application information

I hereby state that the personal information I have provided on the EUREKA course application form is true and accurate and does not misrepresent me in any way to EUREKA.

I also state that the written test required for acceptance and to set my Spanish level onto the EUREKA course is my own work.

I have disclosed the true disposition of any past, pending, or potential future criminal proceedings.

I have stated all medical conditions that could affect the other course students or my ability to regularly attend the course on my application form.

Failure to declare such medical conditions could result in EUREKA withdrawing my offer of acceptance. Should EUREKA withdraw the offer of acceptance, any money I have already given to EUREKA will be subject to the Cancellation clause as set out in this agreement.

Once I have started the course in EUREKA, if I am forced to terminate the course for reasons relating to an undeclared criminal or medical issue I will be disqualified from using any part of the Cancellation Clause.

I acknowledge that I have read, understand and agree to the entry requirements for my chosen course and that I will be asked to present documentary supporting evidence when and where required by EUREKA.

Emergency contact information

I will give EUREKA emergency contact information for someone who will be able to advise EUREKA what to do for me in the event of an emergency or situation where I cannot act on my own behalf. I swear that the person I name has agreed to act in the capacity of emergency contact and that the details I have given are accurate.

If it is necessary for an EUREKA representative to use the emergency contact, I authorise EUREKA to freely communicate with the emergency contact person. I understand that if the contact details I give are false or inaccurate, EUREKA will be limited in its ability to assist me should an emergency situation arise.

If I cancel prior to my first scheduled course start date I will be entitled to a one time reschedule to a future course in the same centre. If I cancel and reschedule prior to my first scheduled course start date I understand that if the course fee changes I will need to pay the difference between what I have paid and the new course fee. Once I have started the course in EUREKA, and due to unforeseen circumstances I am forced to terminate the course before it ends I will be entitled to a one time reschedule to a future EUREKA course. If I cancel and reschedule more than once I will have to pay an additional course deposit each time I cancel and reschedule to a future course.

Cancellations and refunds for accommodation

I understand that the fee for accommodation is non-refundable and rescheduling is not allowed.

I agree that I am responsible for paying all bank fees, charges and other associated costs when making payments to EUREKA.

6. Buying a course place from another student

EUREKA does not get involved with private sale agreements but will endorse them should the buyer ask for proof that authenticates the sale.

7. Discounts and special offer fees

From time-to-time EUREKA offers discounts or special fees for selected courses. These fees are of fixed duration and ONLY apply to the course that was paid for on special offer. If I choose to transfer to a different course I acknowledge that I will have to pay the difference between the special offer fee and the fee for the course I want to transfer to.

Like all companies, EUREKA has special offer fees for a limited time only. If I enrolled for a course before the offer started or after it finished, I acknowledge that I am not entitled to any refund.

If I am referred by someone and then take advantage of a special offer fee course or a course fee discount, I acknowledge that the person referring me cannot collect their referral fee.

Discounts are only given to students that apply and enrol directly through EUREKA.

I understand that it is my sole responsibility or the responsibility of my authorised representative to check for all continuous email correspondence from an authorised EUREKA representative.

I understand that when EUREKA is reaching the maximum number OF STUDENTS PER COURSE, I will receive a courtesy email if I am not fully paid. I understand that the purpose of this email is to guarantee my course start date if my course is oversubscribed.

Although my deposit guarantees me a place on the course of my choice, the EUREKA Service Agreement also states that EUREKA reserves the right to move me to another course date if payment is not received at least 30 days before the start date or if EUREKA is reaching the maximum number allowed and there are other students willing to pay in full to get the last remaining spots.

I understand that I may delay my final payment until 30 days before my course start but if there are no more places left at that time, I acknowledge that EUREKA will move me to another course start date.
