• Credit Card VISA or MASTERCARD

All operation involving the transmission of personal or banking information will be carried out using a secure environment, based on the standard security technology SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). All information that you transmit to us in encrypted through our network.  Additionally, the information about your credit card is directly introduced into the bank´s website, in the POS Terminal Bank and is not introduced or registered in MUNDOLENGUA CENTRO INTERNACIONAL DE ESPAÑOL SL.

To pay with a VISA  or MASTERCARD the following information is always necessary: the card number, the expiration date, and the Validation Code that coincides with the last three numbers written in cursive on the back of your card, offering, in this way, more guarantees about the safety of the transaction.

This form of payment is only valid online.

When the amount for purchase has been falsely or improperly changed using the number of a credit card, the holder may demand immediate cancellation of the charge. In such a case, the correspondents note the debt and repaying of the card holder as soon as possible.

However, if the purchase has been effectively carried out by the card holder and the requirement for repayment was not due to having exercised the right of withdrawal or resolution and, therefore, had wrongly demanded the cancellation of the corresponding charge, they will be bound by MUNDOLENGUA CENTRO INTERNACIONAL   DE ESPAÑOL SL to compensate for damages caused as a result of said cancellation.

• Bank Transfer

• Policies set by the host school/university outside of the Program Participant’s home country.
• Policies set by the Program Participant’s home school/university in his/her country of residence.

In the case of conflict among these four sets of policies, the most specific and stringent policy shall apply. It is the sole responsibility of the Program Participant to become familiar with these policies and with any more demanding policies that may be imposed by his/her home institution in his/her country of residence.

Centro MundoLengua endeavors to ensure that all the information and prices are accurate both on our website and in our brochures; however, occasionally minor errors occur and we reserve the right to correct prices in such circumstances.

Insurance may be purchased for all of our Programs with our partner Mapfre. Every Program Participant will be entirely responsible for informing us if he/she wants to contract the insurance.

The medical and accident insurance also covers the costs for the transport of an injured or ill Program Participant to an adequately equipped hospital, or to a hospital in the Program Participant’s country of residence, if treatment cannot be provided in Spain. The insurance also covers the transportation costs (provided that the originally included-transport cannot be used) for a Program Participant to interrupt his/her MundoLengua program to fly home to his/her country of residence in the event of the death of an immediate family member, or in the event of severe damage to the Program Participant’s home or business.

9) Damage Caused by Program Participants/Civil Liability

Prior to arrival at Centro MundoLengua, each Progarm Participant must take out a policy of insurance to cover any loss/damage which he/she may cause during the course of his/her stay, whether intentional or not.
