Our Liability
The Slaney Language Centre reserves the right to alter prices, conditions and details without notice. The right is also reserved to decline any person at any time without liability. The Slaney Language Centre gives notice that all arrangements for transport, activities or for accommodation are made by the Slaney Language Centre as an agent upon the express condition that they shall not be liable for any injury, damage, loss, accident, delay or irregularity which may be occasioned either by reason of any defect in any vehicle or through the acts of default of any company or persons engaged in conveying the passenger, or in carrying out the arrangements of the programmes, or otherwise in connection therewith or of any family member. No responsibility is accepted for losses or additional expenses due to delays or changes in air, sea, rail, bus or other services, sickness, weather, war, quarantine, strikes, or other liability.

Teacher's Absence
In the event of a teacher's sickness or inability to travel to work due to unforeseen circumstances such as natural catastrophes the Slaney Language Centre will do their utmost to find cover as soon as possible. The Slaney Language Centre will not guarantee however, that immediate cover will be found and classes might gave to be put together or tuition canceled. No refunds will be made on these occasions.

Insurance (Health and Travel)
All participants should provide their own health and travel insurance. EU nationals should obtain form EHIC from their local social welfare office before departing. This only entitles you to free emergency hospital care and attendance at certain doctors. It does not cover elective, medical or dental treatment. Any person undergoing medical treatment should bring a medical certificate and sufficient medicine to cover their stay. We strongly advise you to insure against loss of fees, personal effects etc. that you may incur due to cancellation or early departure.

The school’s insurance provides cover for accident/injury on the school premises only. Students are not insured by the SLC against illness, theft, damages or loss of personal effects and the SLC accepts no responsibility in the event of such occurrence.

Language Levels
The SLC reserves the right to put up to nine students in a group in order to match language levels better.  This is an exception and not the norm. 
Should a student's level in any week not match any existing group, it will be pleased to provide the student 10 private lessons plus self-study activities. 

Troubleshooting
Should the occasion arise that you may require medical or dental treatment during your stay we can make an appointment with a reputable doctor or dentist. Please inform us about any medical condition that we may need to be aware of i.e. epilepsy, diabetes, pregnancy, etc.
