BOOKING TERMS AND CONDITIONS

IrelandSchool reserves the right to place the student in a location similar to student’s first choice, where first choice is not available. IrelandSchool also reserves the right to change the teacher or host family during the course where necessary.

IrelandSchool accepts enrolments on the understanding that the student discloses at the time of booking any significant medical condition and/or physical or mental handicap. In the event of discovery by IrelandSchool of any serious health problem/ illness, mental or physical handicap not disclosed at the time of booking, or criminal or antisocial behaviour on the part of a student, IrelandSchool reserves the right to terminate the course and repatriate the student at their own cost and without refund of fees.

PAYMENT

Full payment must be made 3 weeks before beginning of course. For methods of payment, see How to Pay.

AIRPORT COLLECTION

Flight numbers and arrival times must be notified to IrelandSchool at least one week before beginning of course.

CANCELLATIONS and INSURANCE

No refunds will be given for accident, illness, loss of property or for any other reason. In the event of a legitimate medical or travel emergency, your course fee is protected.

Students are strongly advised to take out their own travel and accident insurance before arrival.

EU students are advised to bring a current EHIC card, and Personal Loss/Accident insurance is recommended for all international travel.

ALTERATION CHARGES

Changing your dates, location or course will often involve the cancellation of one family and the finding of another, so an alteration fee of €150 will apply in every case.

LIABILITY

IrelandSchool acts as agent between its students and the host teachers/host families and the school. IrelandSchool and any of the company’s officers, directors, employees, or agents of any of them, exclude all liability and responsibility for any amount or kind of loss or damage that may result to a student including injury, damage loss, delay or accident which may happen during the student’s stay with the host family, or as a result of activities they take part in during their stay, or whilst travelling to and from the student’s home. Neither IrelandSchool nor the host family is responsible for students’ personal possessions. It is an explicit condition of enrolment that students accept full financial responsibility for any damage caused by them to the host family’s property.
