Cancellation by e-mail within 24 hours before the course.
2. Payment terms :
-
Only e-transfer and credit card payments are accepted.
-
All 40-hour and 60-hour training packages must be paid in full before training begins unless otherwise agreed in writing.
-
Purchasing a training package constitutes a commitment to the reserved training program.
-
Payment of a training package does not entitle the client to a refund due to changes in personal circumstances, work schedule, or availability.
3. Refund Policy :
CanLearnFrench offers a Satisfaction Guarantee only when the quality of the training provided does not meet the educational standards we commit to delivering.
This guarantee applies only when:
-
the services provided do not reasonably match the agreed learning objectives;
-
the quality of instruction is demonstrably below our professional standards;
-
CanLearnFrench fails to fulfill its contractual obligations.
This Satisfaction Guarantee is not a general cancellation or refund policy.
Refunds will not be granted when the request results from personal circumstances, including but not limited to:
-
changes in work schedule;
-
lack of time or availability;
-
relocation;
-
financial circumstances;
-
changes in personal or professional plans;
-
the client's decision to discontinue training while CanLearnFrench remains able to provide the contracted services.
Training packages are purchased to reserve instructional time and teacher availability. They are therefore sold as a commitment to a training program and not as refundable unused hours.
4. Commitments and responsibilities :

The Company undertakes to :
-

-
Assign qualified, experienced, and competent teachers who are selected for both their expertise and their commitment to learner success.

Prepare and deliver lessons that support the learner's individual objectives and progress.

When concerns regarding the quality of instruction are raised, CanLearnFrench commits to reviewing the situation promptly and fairly, and to taking appropriate corrective action where necessary.
CanLearnFrench provides professional language instruction designed to maximize each learner's progress. However, language acquisition depends on numerous factors beyond the Company's control, including attendance, personal study, motivation, and participation. Accordingly, CanLearnFrench does not guarantee the achievement of any specific language level, examination score, immigration outcome, or professional certification.

If no solution is found at this stage, external mediation may be considered before resorting to legal action.
