Payment Conditions for a Full-Year Exchange
For a full-year exchange, the schedule keeps the pupil enrolled with a place reserved for the following year.

If the pupil does not return, that amount becomes the compensation fee.

Preliminary charges are reconciled with actual costs. Illness, trips, absence or not using the service do not create an automatic refund; route and seat availability must be confirmed.
