OVERVIEW
The langart.net is operated by Langart Sp. z o.o., a registered company in the city of Kraków, Poland. The website is run mainly, but not only, to facilitate users to make language course bookings directly with language schools all over the world. The contract is made directly between the user and the language school. Throughout the site, the terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Langart Sp. z o.o.. The terms “you” “your” and “the student” refer to the user. Langart Sp. z o.o. offers this website, including all information, tools and services available from this site to you, the user, conditioned upon your irrevocable acceptance without modification of all terms, conditions, policies and notices stated here.

You agree to abide by the terms and conditions imposed by any language school with whom you elect to deal, including, but not limited to, payment of all amounts when due and compliance with the school's rules and restrictions regarding availability and use of services. The language school is solely responsible for the correctness of the information in the terms and conditions. It is the responsibility of the student to clarify any ambiguity about the terms and conditions of the language school prior to the booking.
SECTION 2 – SCOPE OF THE WEBSITE
langart.net acts as an online booking platform where students can book online the services provided by the service providers, mainly language courses provided by language schools. All bookings for courses and accommodation services on this website are made directly with language schools and not with langart.net. We only offer an online platform to facilitate direct reservations between students and language schools. The langart.net is not a contracting party in the transaction between the student and the service provider, and has no responsibility or liability to neither the student nor the service provider in respect to the terms of the contract which is concluded directly between them.
SECTION 3 – DESCRIPTION OF THE BOOKING PROCESS
Making a booking.
All bookings will be made on langart.net through an online booking system. Once the availability of the course is verified, the student will receive a written confirmation of the booking along with an invoice from the school within 48 hours of the booking request. The booking only then becomes binding for the language school if this is approved in a written form. No flight ticket should be purchased until the booking has been confirmed.
Deposit payment.
The student is required to pay the deposit at the time of booking. The deposit paid is not refundable after the school has confirmed the booking.
Balance payment
The balance will be paid by the student to the language schools directly, keeping the payment methods and deadline for payments specified in the language school’s Terms and Conditions published on langart.net. All bank or credit card charges must be paid by you. Your place on any course and/or accommodation is not fully confirmed until these fees have been paid, and the language school concerned has confirmed this payment. Failure to pay in full prior to arrival may result in loss of your place. Until the payment is not received in full, the letter of acceptance will not be issued and the student will not be allowed to start the course. It is strongly recommended to pay the fees in full at least two weeks prior to the course start date. By accepting the applicable Terms of Use of the langart.net website the student agrees, in the case of a successful placement, to pay the balance, including taxes and charges, directly to the language school, according to the terms and conditions of the language school.
SECTION 4 – CHANGES TO THE BOOKING
No fee will be charged if a change is communicated to us in writing within two business days of the booking confirmation. There is no change fee for extending or upgrading a course. All other changes to tuition, accommodation and other services, once confirmed, may be subject to a change fee which varies depending on the school. The change of school, reduction of course duration and downgrade of services are considered as cancellations and the cancellation terms apply.
SECTION 5 – CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY
Cancellation by the student.
The student has the right to cancel the booking at any time prior to the start of the course. Please note however that certain rates or special offers are not eligible for cancellation or change. The cancellation has to be made in writing by the person who booked the course. Please note that you may be charged for your cancellation in accordance with our cancellation and refund policy and to the service providers' cancellation and refund policy. It is most recommended that you read the cancellation and refund policy of the language school prior to making your booking. The deposit paid at the moment of the booking as well as the enrolment fee are non refundable once the school has confirmed the booking.
Cancellation due to visa refusal
If the student has to cancel the course due to visa refusal, all payments and deposits made will be refunded less any additional cancellation fees charged by the school. Cancellations due to visa refusals only apply to students who have applied timely and for the appropriate visa category. The student will need to present a document demonstrating the visa rejection at least 3 weeks before the course or accommodation start date.
Cancellation by the language school.
Language schools reserve the right to cancel confirmed bookings in case of typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions that may relate to service descriptions, pricing, promotions, offers and availability. If your booking has been canceled by the language school, you will receive an email to confirm your cancellation, usually along with an alternative proposal.
SECTION 6 – WITHDRAWAL FROM THE COURSE
If you decide to withdraw from the course once the course has begun, language school may ask you for a minimum 6 weeks written notice in order to provide you with a refund for any unused course and/or accommodation, less this notice period and the course and/or accommodation booking fee.
SECTION 7 – PRICES
The prices are in the currency of the country where the school is located, if not otherwise stated. These are official school prices without any add-ons and are generally the lowest prices offered by the school. There are further discounts for students in some schools. All prices published on the websites have been provided by the schools which are responsible for their accuracy. Prices are not guaranteed until the booking has been confirmed.
SECTION 8 – VISAS
Students who need a visa to enter a country should book the course and accommodation at least 8 weeks prior to the course start date. It is the responsibility of the student to arrange all required travel permits or visas and to have a valid passport. Visa regulations may change from time to time therefore students are advised to contact the relevant Embassy/Consulate in their country for up to date information. Once the schools have received full payment, you will be provided with supporting documents to assist you with the student’s visa application. To deliver the required visa documents the schools may charge an additional courier delivery fee for courses booked on short notice before the start of the course.
SECTION 9 – TRAVEL, MEDICAL AND CANCELLATION INSURANCE
It is strongly recommended to students to take travel and medical insurance for the duration of the stay regardless of course length, as well as insurance in case they need to return home early for health reasons or other unforeseen circumstances.
SECTION 10 – HEALTH INFORMATION
The student should inform the school at the time of booking of illnesses, allergies, disabilities and infections.
SECTION 11 – ACCOMMODATION
If not otherwise stated, accommodation is available from the Sunday prior to the course start date until the Saturday morning after the course end date. If the student needs additional nights before or after the course, the school charges an extra night accommodation fee. The school tries to take into account students' preferences regarding accommodation which can be listed in the comments field of the booking form. Students are sent accommodation address some 1-2 weeks prior to the course start date.
SECTION 12 – AIRPORT TRANSFER
The student who has booked an airport transfer has to inform the school of the exact flight details 1 week prior to arrival at the latest. The student should look for a school representative in arrival hall holding a sign with student’s language school name or/and student’s name printed on the sign. If your flight was late more than 30 minutes you may be liable for extra charges. If you can’t find the school representative and you decide to leave without contacting the language school, you will not be entitled to a refund. You must call language school in case if you can’t find your driver before you decide to take alternative transport.
