  • Once you are enrolled in an online Spanish course (PREMIUM or PREMIUM +Plus) with a subscription (3 months, 6 months or 12 months), you can book and participate in the BlaBlaCLUB and the One-on-One Lessons included in your online Spanish course whenever you want, as long as your subscription is active, based on teacher's availability on the Elayaa.com sites.

  • Once you are enrolled in an Online Spanish Course (PREMIUM) with Lifetime Access, you can book and participate in the BlaBlaCLUB Classes included in your Online Spanish Course whenever you want, within a maximum period of 24 months after enrollment (12 months for enrollments prior to January 1, 2023) and subject to the teacher's availability on the Elayaa.com websites.

  • Individual Lessons and BlaBlaCLUB Classes purchased separately (packages or individual lessons), outside of what is already included in PREMIUM, and/or PREMIUM +Plus Spanish courses, can be used within a maximum period of 12 months from the time of purchase, and in any case within the duration of the purchased subscriptions (BlaBlaCLUB).

  • By choosing the EXPRESS Total, PREMIUM or PREMIUM +Plus online Spanish course, you can decide to cancel your access to the content at any time. The cancellation of your access will only be considered effective at the end of the month in which you requested the cancellation, and you will no longer be able to access the content (including live classes) for which you have decided to cancel your access, immediately.

  • The right to cancel your access to our online Spanish courses (of any type) is only possible if requested by e-mail (to: support@elayaa.com).

  • Elayaa.com reserves the right to modify, postpone, anticipate or cancel all or part of the services offered, providing a refund to users as per item 10 below.

  • Individual Lessons and Individual Sessions are considered the same thing for the purposes of these Terms and Conditions.

​

10. Right of Refund

  • The right to a refund is possible only if requested by e-mail (at: support@elayaa.com) within 7 days from the date of your enrollment in our EXPRESS Total, PREMIUM or PREMIUM +Plus online Spanish course, even in the event that you have not taken nor used the course in question at all.

  • In order to be eligible for a refund, a user who is enrolled or has been enrolled in an EXPRESS Total, PREMIUM, or PREMIUM +Plus Spanish Course must NOT have completed more than 20% of any of the content individually offered and/or made available to users within the course in which they are enrolled or have been enrolled (Course Curriculum, Audio Version, Interactive Exercises, Graded Readings & Podcasts, BlaBlaCLUB, Individual Lessons) and, at the same time, shall NOT have downloaded ANY content - whether normally downloadable or not - from the Elayaa.com Learning Platform. com or from any website or application related and/or connected to the service purchased from Elayaa.com.

  • Individual Lessons (price considered in ALL situations USD 30 each) and the BlaBlaCLUB (price considered in ALL situations USD 69 per month, participation in only 1 lesson of the BlaBlaCLUB being enough to consider the month complete) already used in the PREMIUM or PREMIUM +Plus courses, are NOT refundable, under any circumstances and for any reason.

  • Individual Lessons purchased individually (packages or single lessons), whether already used or not, are NOT - under any circumstances and for any reason - refundable.

  • For Individual Lessons and BlaBlaCLUB, if a teacher does not show up for your video conference, please email us at support@elayaa.com with your complete name, and the day and time of the missed lesson. We will verify this and, in the case of an absent teacher, you will receive a new access code so you can rebook your Individual Lesson or BlaBlaCLUB, free of charge.

  • For Individual Lessons and BlaBlaCLUB, if - for any reason - you are not present at a previously booked video conference (included in an online Spanish course or purchased outside the services that include it), the lesson is considered LOST (the teacher will wait for you online for a maximum of 10 minutes). Similarly, if - for any reason - you are late to a videoconference, the minutes elapsed between the scheduled start time of the videoconference and the time you arrive are considered for all intents and purposes LOST.

  • You may cancel or reschedule one or more Individual Lessons - without losing them - within a maximum period of 24 hours before the lesson itself. Any request to cancel and/or reschedule an Individual Lesson less than 24 hours in advance will result in that Individual Lesson being considered LOST.

  • Individual Lessons and Group Classes (BlaBlaCLUB) missed by you, in whole or in part, are NOT subject to any type of refund under any circumstances and for any reason. This includes Individual Lessons and/or Group Classes (BlaBlaCLUB) included within a subscription and - in all cases and for any reason - not used before the expiration of said subscription (3 months, 6 months or 12 months).

  • If you are unable to use the paid services of Elayaa.com, for which you are properly subscribed and have already paid in full, due to Elayaa.com's desire to cancel such service completely, you may request a refund by email (to: support@elayaa.com). This refund will correspond to the amount you actually paid for access to the service, divided by 24 and multiplied by the number of months of actual inability to use the service (in a maximum period of 24 months from your registration). This amount is to be considered inclusive of the amount actually paid by you for the use of the Individual Lessons and BlaBlaCLUB still not enjoyed - within an offer or course including such services or purchased separately - within a maximum period of 12 months (PREMIUM) and 24 months (PREMIUM +Plus) from your registration (period after which, such Individual Lessons and BlaBlaCLUB are NOT refundable).

  • Should Elayaa.com change its services to offer others of equal or higher educational quality, no refund will be given.

  • The granting of any type of refund (other than a refund due to a teacher's absence from a properly booked Individual Lesson or BlaBlaCLUB, or due to Elayaa.com's desire to cancel the service entirely), will result in the immediate cancellation of your access to the Educational Platform and all services offered by Elayaa.com.

  • Individual Lessons and Individual Sessions are considered the same thing for the purposes of these Terms and Conditions.

12. Corporate Training

  • When companies access Elayaa.com's corporate training services (Learning Platform and/or Learn & SPEAK), they can choose between Shared Access and Private Access to training for their staff.

  • Shared Access means that multiple people can access training using the same account at different times (in order for multiple people to access the same training at the same time, it is necessary to increase the number of accounts active at the same time). This type of account has a duration of 12 months from the time of its creation, through an automatically renewable annual payment (cancelable at any time from one's corporate account).

  • Private Access means that only one person can access the training - in personal mode and in NO case and for NO reason transferable - using one account (to train more people, it is necessary to increase the number of active personal and non-transferable accounts). This type of account has a duration of 12 months from the time of its creation, through an automatically renewable annual payment (cancelable at any time from your corporate account).

  • The individual Spanish lessons available to companies operate on the principle of shared access, i.e., when a company purchases a package of lessons, it can distribute these individual lessons among its staff as it prefers, assigning each person of its choice a number of lessons (included in the previously purchased package of lessons) at its discretion.

  • The right of reimbursement for companies accessing Elayaa.com's corporate training services is the same as for Elayaa.com's private customers, as per item 10 above, applied to the services offered for companies (Learning Platform, Learn & SPEAK, and 1:1 Lessons).
