All information provided to Taalhuis Amsterdam will remain confidential and will be dealt with with the utmost care. The collected data will not be provided to third parties.
By requesting information about a class, you only demonstrate your interest in this class. No obligations or rights can be derived from our response to your enquiries. We cannot guarantee a spot in a certain course. These general terms and conditions apply after final enrolment for a course has been processed.
Enrolling for a course
Upon receipt of the enrolment form or a written confirmation by e-mail, an enrolment for a group course or private lesson is completed and the student agrees with these terms and conditions.
Duration of the agreement
Following enrolment, the agreement with the student is valid until the end of the course for which they have enrolled.
Cancelled classes
Scheduled lessons of group courses that, for whatever reason, are cancelled by Taalhuis Amsterdam, will be rescheduled at the end of the course. Students should therefore be aware that the end date of a course might be extended.
Missed lessons
Missed group lessons cannot be rescheduled. However, at the discretion of Taalhuis Amsterdam and depending on availability, a missed class can sometimes be followed in another group. Each student must ensure that they complete the assigned homework and keep up with the level of the group. They can book an extra private lesson to compensate for the missed class against a catch-up fee of EUR 55,-.
Not enough registrations
If the course you’ve registered for has 3 registrations (sometimes only 2) we will switch from 1,5 hour to 1 hour classes.
Cancellation of a course
Taalhuis Amsterdam may decide to cancel a group course due to insufficient enrolments. In that case, the enrolled student(s) will no later than one week before the start of the course be notified hereof, and the full tuition fee will be refunded. In this case Taalhuis Amsterdam could suggest offering the course as a private course.
Packages
Packages expire twelve months after purchase. Packages are non-refundable and non-transferable.
Absence
If the student is prevented from taking part in a scheduled private lesson or catch-up class, they must report their absence by email to the teacher at the latest 48 hours before the start of the lesson. If this notification is sent within 48 hours of the start of the lesson, the lesson will be invoiced in full.
Cancellation
Please note that when cancelling an in-company course prior to the start of the course 50% of the course/lesson fee will be charged. If the course is cancelled one month (or later) prior to the start/or during the course, 100% of the course fee is billed.
Cancelling a lesson
If a lesson needs to be cancelled and rescheduled, this is possible up to 48 hours prior to the start of the lesson by informing both Taalhuis Amsterdam and the teacher via email. If Taalhuis Amsterdam and the teacher are notified within 48 hours of the start of the class, the lesson will count towards the total number of agreed lessons and cannot be rescheduled.
Registrations for events are non-refundable and non-transferable to another event. You can transfer your ticket to another person, please notify us.
For most trips we ask a non-refundable deposit (between €100,- and €250,-) upon registration. Registrations for trips can be cancelled with no additional costs up until a month before the start of the trip. Bookings that are cancelled closer to departure are non-refundable and non-transferable.

Upon enrolment, the student is obliged to pay the tuition fee for the full course.

In case of a refund, EUR 50 of administrative fees will be deducted.
