-
Once you are enrolled in an Online Spanish Course (EXPRESS Total, PREMIUM, PREMIUM +Plus) with Lifetime Access (One-time Payment or Payment Plan), you can access the Video Lessons and all the activities included in the version of the Learning Platform included with the Online Spanish Course you are enrolled in (Grammar Sheets, Exercises, Tests, Graded Readings, etc.) FOREVER, with a guaranteed access time of at least 2 years from the day of your enrollment.

-
One-on-one lessons included in PREMIUM +Plus (Annual Subscription) are NOT cumulative from one year to the next. Therefore, should you keep your subscription active for more than 12 months, you will have only 20 one-on-one lessons of 60 minutes each available for each 12-month cycle from your membership.
-
Once you are enrolled in an Online Spanish Course (PREMIUM) with Lifetime Access, you can book and participate to the BlaBlaCLUB Spanish Classes included in your Online Spanish Course whenever you want, within a maximum period of 24 months after your enrollment (12 months for enrollments prior to January 1, 2023) and subject to the availability of the teachers on the Elayaa.com websites.

-
One-on-One Lessons and BlaBlaCLUB Classes purchased separately (Package Deals or single 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).
-
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 point 10 below.
10. Right of Refund
-
By choosing the EXPRESS Total, PREMIUM, or PREMIUM +Plus Online Spanish Course, access to all content on the Online Spanish Platform is guaranteed as per point 9 above. However, you may 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 request the cancellation, and you will no longer be able to access the content (live lessons included) 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 (at: support@elayaa.com).
-
The right to a refund is only possible if requested by email (at: support@elayaa.com) within 7 days from the date of your enrollment in our EXPRESS Total, PREMIUM, or PREMIUM +Plus Online Spanish Course.
-
One-on-One Lessons (considered price in ALL situations USD 30 each) and BlaBlaCLUB (considered price in ALL situations USD 49 per month, with participation in only 1 BlaBlaCLUB class being enough to consider the month complete) already taken in PREMIUM or PREMIUM +Plus Courses are NOT refundable, under any circumstances and for any reason.
-
One-on-One Lessons and BlaBlaCLUB purchased individually (Package Deals, Subscriptions, or Single Lessons), whether already taken or not, are - under any circumstances and for any reason - NOT refundable.
-
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 will not have to download ANY content - whether or not normally downloadable - from Elayaa.com's Spanish Learning Platform or any website or application-related and/or connected to the service purchased from Elayaa.com.
-
For One-on-One Lessons and BlaBlaCLUB, if a teacher does not show up for your video conference, please email us at support@elayaa.com with your full name, day and time of the missed lesson. We'll verify everything and, in case of an absent teacher, you'll receive a new Access Code to be able to book your One-on-One Lesson or BlaBlaWebinar again, for free.
-
For One-on-One Lessons and BlaBlaCLUB, if - for any reason - you are not present at a previously booked videoconference (included in an Online Spanish Course or purchased outside of the services that include it), the lesson is considered lost (the teacher will wait for you online for up to 15 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 of your arrival are considered for all intents and purposes LOST.
-
One-on-One Lessons and BlaBlaCLUB lost by you, in whole or in part, are not subject to any type of refund, under any circumstances and for any reason.
-
If you are unable to take advantage of Elayaa.com's paid services, for which you are properly enrolled and have already paid in full, due to Elayaa.com's desire to completely cancel such service, you may request a refund via email (at: support@elayaa.com). This refund will correspond to the amount actually paid by the user for access to the service, divided by 24 and multiplied by the number of months of real impossibility to use the service (within a maximum period of 24 months from his enrollment). This amount shall be deemed to include the amount actually paid by the user for the use of One-on-One Lessons and BlaBlaCLUB still not enjoyed - within an offer or course including these services or purchased separately - within a maximum period of 12 months (PREMIUM) and 24 months (PREMIUM +Plus) from your enrollment (period after which, such One-on-One Lessons and BlaBlaCLUB are NOT refundable).
-
Should Elayaa.com modify its services to offer others of equal or greater educational quality, no refunds will be given.
-
Granting any type of refund (other than a refund due to a teacher being absent from a properly booked One-on-One Lesson or BlaBlaCLUB, or due to Elayaa.com's desire to completely cancel the service), will result in immediate cancellation of your access to the Learning Platform and all services offered by Elayaa.com.
11. Affiliate Program
-
Each Affiliate (individual or legal entity) is considered as an independent and autonomous business partner, interested in giving visibility to the services offered by Elayaa.com and/or share with others their experience with the services offered by Elayaa.com.
-
The activity of each Affiliate will always be carried out with its own organization and means, without ties of exclusivity, subordination, para-subordination, stable and continuous collaboration, concession, or agency.
-
Elayaa.com Affiliates assume no obligation to promote the services offered by Elayaa.com and expressly acknowledge the occasional nature of the Affiliate Program.
-
Affiliates have no authority to enter into contracts or sales of any kind on behalf of Elayaa.com or to bind Elayaa.com in any other way to any third party.
-
For each customer who has actually subscribed to one of Elayaa.com's complete Spanish courses (specifically and limited to EXPRESS Total, PREMIUM and PREMIUM +Plus, excluding gift mode courses and any other paid courses and/or services available on Elayaa.com's websites) - and has become aware of them through the customized Link associated with the account of a given Affiliate - and has made a purchase on any of Elayaa.com's websites within 90 days from the first click on the link associated with the account of a given Affiliate, said Affiliate will receive a 20% commission calculated on the amount actually invoiced to the customer (excluding tax).
-
Said commission will be paid within 30 days from the last day of the month in which each customer has made one or more purchases by learning about the services offered by Elayaa.com through the Link associated with the Account of a particular Affiliate.
-
Should a customer who has arrived through a link associated with the Account of a particular Affiliate request - for any reason - a refund of the amount actually paid within the time period allowed for refunds by Elayaa.com (see point 10 above), no commission shall be payable, on such amounts, to any Affiliate.
-
Elayaa.com remains always free to carry out - autonomously and without any kind of constraint - activities of promotion of its services and finding its customers. No commission will be due, on these customers, to any Affiliate.
-
It is forbidden for all Affiliates to directly use the distinctive signs of Elayaa.com, to include them in their correspondence, in their business cards, and, more generally, in the documentation and material used - online and offline - in the exercise of their business.
-
Affiliates can request to Elayaa.com - at any time, for any reason, and only via e-mail at: support@elayaa.com - their wish to leave the Affiliate Program. In this case, Elayaa.com will remove said Affiliate from the Affiliate Program within 24 hours of receiving the removal request. All commissions accrued by the Affiliate by the exact time of its removal from the Affiliate Program will be paid to said Affiliate within 30 days from the last day of the month in which commissions were accrued.

Elayaa.com reserves the right to remove any Affiliate - for any reason deemed valid by Elayaa.com, without any notice whatsoever and at any time - from the Affiliate Program.

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 by their staff.
-
Shared Access means that more than one person can access the training using the same account at different times ( to allow more than one person to access the same training at the same time, it is necessary to increase the number of active accounts at the same time). This type of account has a duration of 12 months from the moment of its creation, through an annual renewable payment (not a subscription). At the end of the first 12 months covered by the first annual renewable payment, all accounts created will lose access to the training, unless the company renews access to the training with a new payment BEFORE the end of the 12 months covered by the payment previously made.
-
Private Access means that only one person can access the training - in a personal mode and in NO case and for NO reason transferable - using a single account (to train more than one person, it is necessary to increase the number of active personal and non-transferable accounts). This type of account comes with 12 months of access to training from the moment of its creation, through a single payment.
-
The One-on-One Spanish lessons available to companies work on a Shared Access basis, i.e. when a company purchases a package of lessons, it can distribute these individual lessons among its own staff as it prefers, giving each person of its own choice a number of lessons (included in the package of lessons previously purchased) at its own discretion, with 24 months to book all lessons included in each single package of lessons (from the moment of the purchase of each single package of lessons).
-
The right of refund for companies accessing Elayaa.com corporate training services is the same as it applies for private customers of Elayaa.com, as in the preceding point 10, applied to the services offered for companies (Learning Platform, Learn & SPEAK, and 1:1 Lessons).
