Article 4 – study agreement

The client is entering in a study agreement with Agastya Yoga by registering for a training. Registration for a training takes place by e-mail through the by Agastya Yoga provided digital registration form.
The study agreement is achieved between Agastya Yoga and the client when Agastya Yoga accepts the registration for a training in writing. The study agreement is considered to be achieved when Agastya Yoga has confirmed in writing to the client the registration and the receipt of the deposit for the training. This confirmation is also valid as a proof of registration for the relevant training.
The client can at any time cancel and terminate an agreement concluded for a specific duration. Agastya Yoga will provide the client with confirmation of this. If there is an agreement concerning face-to-face instruction with a recorded starting date, the following cancellation provisions and early termination arrangement will apply after the end of any cooling-off period. In that case, the client pays: a reasonable fee for the work already performed, including the Start-up costs. For the sake of clarity, below you will find a summary of these costs as a percentage of the course price. These percentages relate to the maximum fee to be paid in case of cancellation by the client:
- Cancellation until 2 months prior to commencement: 10% of the course price will be charged, anything above this will be refunded by Agastya Yoga.
- Cancellation between 2 months and 1 month prior to commencement: 20% of the course price will be charged, anything above this will be refunded by Agastya Yoga.
- Cancellation between 1 month and 2 weeks prior to commencement: 30% of the course price will be charged, anything above this will be refunded by Agastya Yoga.
- Cancellation less than 2 weeks prior to commencement: 50% of the course price will be charged, anything above this will be refunded by Agastya Yoga.
- Termination after the start date course: In the event of termination after the start date of the course, 50% (as start-up costs) of the agreed price, after deduction of study materials not yet received, plus the costs of the academic year already expired, regardless of whether you attended the meeting(s). The total costs shall never exceed the course price. In principle, the costs of the course you have already followed will be determined as follows: – The costs in proportion to the number of days during which the course was followed, including the current day.
Cancellation prior to the commencement of the face-to-face instruction, or early termination, will take place in writing, or as the case may be by electronic means.
For the E-learning courses provided by the Agastya Yoga Online Academy, the annulment of the agreement is possible within 30 days (thirty days). The term of 30 days starts from the moment that the e-learning has been purchased and access to the E-learning platform has been facilitated. Annulment within 30 days is only possible if the client has accessed less than 25% of the course. If more than 25% of the course was accessed the client looses the right for annulment and refund.
Manipulating the study progress by for example submitting blank assignments, skipping the lessons (e.g. completing 30 hours of video in 1 day), making excessive use of our refund option will lead to the expulsion of the client from the e-learning platform. Agastya reserves the right to terminate the study agreement with immediate effect, waiving any right for refund, in such a case of manipulation by the client.
The client is not authorized to transmit the rights and obligations of the study agreement to any third party.
