1. Who We Are

Lingocourse is a service that helps students choose language courses abroad and submit applications directly to the schools we work with, specifically:

  • providing information about language schools and study programs abroad;
  • allowing users to submit applications for study programs;
  • communicating with schools on behalf of the user or the school;
  • helping students and partners obtain the necessary information.

Lingocourse is not a school, does not provide educational services, and does not make admission decisions.

All academic decisions, pricing, study rules, accommodation conditions, and visa requirements are determined exclusively by the school.

2. Platform Role and Allocation of Responsibilities

2.1. What Lingocourse Does

We:

  • forward the user’s application to the school;
  • act as the school’s agent by providing information about the program;
  • facilitate communication between the user and the school;
  • provide consultations within the functionality of the Platform.

2.2. What We Are Not Responsible For

We do not:

  • guarantee admission to any school;
  • make admission decisions;
  • set tuition or accommodation prices;
  • control school schedules, program changes, or cancellations;
  • bear responsibility for visa decisions, visa refusals, or entry permissions;
  • act as a party to the agreement between the user and the school.

2.3. What the School Is Responsible For

The school is fully responsible for:

  • the quality of the educational program;
  • schedules, groups, and study formats;
  • tuition prices, additional fees, and surcharges;
  • accommodation, transfers, meals, and facilities;
  • behavior rules, disciplinary actions, internal regulations;
  • policies for refunds, cancellations, and program changes.

3. Who May Use the Platform

  • The Website is intended for individuals aged 18+.
  • Applications for minors must be submitted by parents or legal guardians.
  • The user must provide accurate, up-to-date, and complete information during booking.

4. Information About Schools and Courses

Information about schools and programs is provided by the schools themselves. Lingocourse strives to maintain the accuracy of this information but does not guarantee its completeness, accuracy, or consistency.

The user agrees to independently verify with the school:

  • tuition and accommodation costs;
  • availability and program start dates;
  • schedules and study formats;
  • accommodation conditions and facilities;
  • visa and other formal requirements.

The Platform is not responsible for updates, changes, or corrections made by schools.

5. Booking a Study Program

By submitting a booking request through the Website, you:

  • agree to the transfer of your data to the school;
  • confirm that you have reviewed the main rules and conditions of the selected program;
  • understand that program confirmation depends on the school’s decision.

The school may change:

  • tuition and accommodation prices;
  • schedules, formats, and intensity of classes;
  • language level requirements and required documents;
  • accommodation conditions, room types, and additional services;
  • program start dates and arrival schedules.

Such changes are not grounds for claims against the Platform.

6. Payments and Refunds

6.1. If Payment Is Made to the School

If payment for tuition or accommodation is made directly to the school, all financial relations arise between the user and the school. Lingocourse does not control:

  • processing times for payments and refunds;
  • bank or payment system fees;
  • refund and cancellation procedures.

6.2. If Payment Is Made Through the Platform

If Lingocourse collects payments from the user (for example, deposits, prepayments, or service fees), the user agrees that:

  • deposits may be non-refundable according to the school’s rules;
  • Platform service fees are non-refundable unless explicitly stated otherwise;
  • refunds are processed according to the school’s policies and/or agreements with the school;
  • bank fees, exchange rate differences, and other financial costs are borne by the user.

6.3. Payments via Different Legal Entities

Depending on the user’s country of residence, payment currency, the selected school, and technical requirements of payment systems, payment processing, refunds, and invoicing may be carried out by various legal entities belonging to the Lingocourse group or operating under contractual arrangements with the Platform.

The following legal entities may currently process payments:

  • Individual Entrepreneur Anna Pukshanskaia, Georgia
  • Individual Entrepreneur Pukshanskaya Anna Vasilievna, INN 250811473460, Russia

The user agrees that:

  • the payment may be processed by a legal entity different from the main operator of the Platform;
  • the legal entity processing the payment is determined automatically based on region, currency, or school;
  • the legal entity may be located in another country;
  • invoices, receipts, and confirmations may contain the details of such legal entities;
  • all such entities act as agents of the Platform or payment partners;
  • the choice of the processing legal entity does not affect the school’s obligation to provide services to the user.

All financial transactions, including payment processing, refunds, and complaint handling, are carried out according to the school’s rules and agreements, regardless of which legal entity processed the payment.

7. Visas, Immigration Decisions, and Travel

The user acknowledges and understands that:

  • visa requirements and entry rules are determined by the authorities of the destination country;
  • visa decisions are made by consulates, not by the Platform or the school;
  • a visa refusal is not a basis for claims against Lingocourse;
  • entry, stay, and exit rules may change without prior notice.

Lingocourse does not provide visa services and is not responsible for:

  • preparation of visa documents;
  • errors in visa forms or invitation letters;
  • visa refusals, delays, or other decisions by immigration authorities.

8. Medical, Epidemiological, and Force Majeure Risks

The user assumes all risks associated with international travel, including:

  • epidemics, pandemics, and quarantine measures;
  • changes in study format (e.g., switching from in-person to online);
  • cancellations or delays caused by weather, political, or social conditions;
  • flight delays, cancellations, and other travel issues;
  • entry restrictions, border closures, and government decisions.

Such circumstances do not constitute grounds for claims against the Platform. Decisions in such situations are made by the school, transportation companies, or government authorities.

9. Underage Students

If the student is a minor, the parent or legal guardian:

  • is fully responsible for providing accurate information about the child;
  • must review the school’s rules for minors;
  • agrees that the school may apply disciplinary measures if rules are violated;
  • accepts responsibility for the consequences of such measures, including possible expulsion or removal from accommodation.

Lingocourse is not responsible for the actions of underage students or the consequences of violations of school or country rules.

10. Restricted Countries, Sanctions, and Legal Limitations

Some schools and countries may impose restrictions based on citizenship, residency, or other criteria, as well as apply sanctions and legal limitations.

Lingocourse:

  • does not make decisions regarding acceptance or non-acceptance of students under such restrictions;
  • is not responsible for refusals related to sanctions or immigration rules;
  • recommends that the user verify such restrictions before booking and payment.
