Terms & Conditions
1. Registration and registration fee
In order to confirm your placement and complete the registration process a non-refundable US$ 50 registration fee must be paid. Once paid, there are no refunds given for the registration fee, for any reason or occurrence. If we are unable to confirm your placement, the application fee will be returned in full. The US$50 registration fee is not a part of the total program price.
2. Program payment
Program payment must be received in full, at least two weeks (14 days) before the first day of classes or accommodation, whichever comes first. Program payments must be made through bank wire transfer. Road2Argentina reserves the right to cancel any program that hasn’t been fully paid at least 14 days before the scheduled start date.
3. Arrival and departure
Participants must notify Road2Argentina of their scheduled arrival and must also submit an electronic copy of their itinerary by email in order to confirm their arrival and airport pickup. Any changes in arrival or departure must be immediately reported to Road2Argentina staff in order to avoid complications upon arrival or departure. Participants should inquire about acceptable dates for arrival or departure in order to avoid extra charges for overstay. Participants are able to begin their accommodation one or two days before their courses or work placements begin and must leave their accommodation the day after their course or placement ends.
4. Changes
Each and all changes to any Road2Argentina program will incur a non-refundable change fee of US$ 100 plus any difference in price of the new housing, class or placement. Changes in housing will only be approved if Road2Argentina coordinators are unable to resolve a concern regarding the housing placement. Each concern regarding housing must be immediately reported to the coordinator in order to make the corresponding change in housing. Each change in housing has a cost of US$ 100 for the change fee plus the difference in cost of the new housing choice. Housing providers have the right to ask for the removal of the student they are housing.
5. Cell phone
Road2argentina will lend the participant a cell phone for a deposit of US$50. This deposit will not be refunded in the case that the cell phone is damaged or lost before its return. Before departure, the participant must contact Road2Argentina staff in order to schedule the return of the cell phone, all of the accessories, and the box, in order to receive the full refund.
6. Participant behavior
Participants are expected to follow the laws of Argentina and the rules of their accommodation, school and/or work placement. Failure to do so will result in termination of the program, without refund.
7. Termination of program
Road2argentina reserves the right to terminate the program of any participant, at any time, for any reason. If termination is made necessary, Road2Argentina will provide written reasoning for termination and will refund the remaining value of the participant’s program. No refund will be given for programs terminated for breach of program rules or local laws. Road2Argentina also reserves the right to remove students from their accommodation, should the necessity arise.
8. Refund policy*
The following explanation and chart detail the refund policy of Road2Argentina. Once program payment is made, refunds are made as a percentage of the remaining program value and the amount of notice given before the cancellation of the program. The remaining program value is determined by subtracting the value of each month of each program already completed (using the advertised prices on the Road2Argentina website) from the total program price paid before starting the program. The eligible refund is calculated as the percentage of the remaining program value using the percentages found in the chart below. All refund requests must be submitted to Road2Argentina in written, letter form and must include the motive of the refund. The letter must be signed and dated.
