GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE OF LINGUISTIC SERVICES OF THE FRENCH INSTITUTE OF FINLAND.

August 2023

These general conditions apply to linguistic services offered by the French Institute of Finland (the Institute) and subscribed to by the client (student). Upon registration, the student accepts these general terms and conditions of sale

ARTICLE 1 – PURPOSE – These general conditions aim to define the obligations of each party and the conditions under which the French Institute provides the services subscribed to by the student.

ARTICLE 2 – REGISTRATION CONDITIONS

2.1 The minimum age for personal registration is 18 years. Parents must register their minor children. This rule also applies to registration at the Institute’s media library.

2.2 For group courses: The student must enroll in a course that corresponds to their level. Two evaluation options are offered to the student free of charge:

a) An online evaluation test is available via the Institute’s website.
b) An oral evaluation test by phone or at the Institute’s premises.

2.3 For individual courses: An oral evaluation interview is offered by phone or at the Institute’s premises. This test also helps to better understand your goals and define the course program.

2.4 Students enrolled in in-person method courses may also take the course remotely by connecting to the TEAMS platform if needed. A connection link is available via the Apolearn platform.

ARTICLE 3 – REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

3.1 Registrations are made directly by the student on the Institute’s website after accepting the general terms and conditions of sale. The prior creation of a user account on the site is mandatory.

3.2 The student can register online during the registration period indicated on the Institute’s website.

3.3 Any registration for language courses at the Institute entitles the student to a free library card allowing the borrowing of documents (books, CDs, DVDs, etc.) as well as access to Culturethèque for the duration of the course.

ARTICLE 4 – PAYMENT CONDITIONS

4.1 The invoice to private courses will be sent to the student by email at the address provided during registration with the course staff (cours@france.fi).

4.2 Payment must be made in full by bank transfer no later than 14 (fourteen) days from the issuance of the invoice. Upon duly justified request by the student, the Institute may grant a split payment in 2 installments over a period not exceeding 3 months. In any case, the student agrees to pay the total amount due. No prorate or reduction in the cost of registration will be granted in case of the client’s absence from the course.

4.3 When a private lesson student requests the teacher to travel to the workplace, the teacher’s transportation costs are added to the course price (the cost of one travel fee is two tickets on the AB-area).

4.4 Payment of group courses will happen directly on the French Institute’s Extranet-page by card.

ARTICLE 5 – COURSE OPENING CONDITIONS

5.1 The opening of the course is subject to a sufficient number of participants. The Institute reserves the right to cancel a course that has not started if a sufficient number of participants is not reached or for any other compelling reason.

5.2 Due to this unpredictable nature, the Institute undertakes to inform those already registered no later than 3 days before the scheduled start date of the proposed course if the course will not be opened.

ARTICLE 6 – MODIFICATION CONDITIONS

6.1 There are no classes on public holidays.

6.2 In the event that the level in which the student has enrolled does not correspond to their actual level, the student has the option to change levels, subject to availability, only during the session for which they enrolled.

6.3 Any other modification (day, time, type of course) must be notified in writing no later than 10 days before the start of the courses and will be subject to a fee of 30 euros.

6.5 Private lessons: The student can reschedule a planned lesson up to 24 hours before the scheduled time by notifying this rescheduling in writing to the course secretary and the teacher. If the notice is given less than 24 hours in advance, the session will be charged even if it could not take place. If the student does not attend a scheduled session without notifying in writing 24 hours in advance, the session will be charged.

ARTICLE 7 – CANCELLATION CONDITIONS

7.1 Cancellation at the initiative of the student:

Cancellation before the start of classes: The cancellation of enrollment in an in-person or online group or private course must be notified in writing. It is free when made no later than 10 days before the start of classes; if the cancellation occurs less than 10 days before the start of classes, the client (the student) will be required to pay 30% of the price of the canceled course.

Cancellation after the start of classes: When the cancellation occurs after the start of classes, except in cases of duly justified force majeure supported by a medical certificate (accident, serious illness preventing attendance, death), the amount remains payable to the Institute.

Exams: Registration fees for tests and exams (DELF, DALF, TCF, TEF, DFP) must be paid before the exam date and are non-refundable. Except in cases of force majeure (illness, accident) and upon presentation of a medical certificate, the exam cannot be rescheduled at the request of the student.

7.2 Cancellation and rescheduling at the initiative of the Institute:

When a course is canceled, the Institute undertakes to offer registered students:

either the opportunity to participate in a similar course,
or the opportunity to enroll in the same course but at a later date,
or the refund of the amounts paid for course registration exclusively.

In the case of a refund, the client will be reimbursed on the card they used during registration.

ARTICLE 8 – INSURANCE:

The Institute disclaims any responsibility for loss, theft, or damage to personal effects of the student occurring on the premises of the Institute or any other place where course services are provided.

ARTICLE 9 – EXAMINATION

9.1 It is the responsibility of the student (hereinafter the candidate) to verify that the information provided by them (spelling of the name, civil status, etc.) at the time of registration for exams is correct and exactly matches what is on their passport. The same information will appear on the candidate’s final certificate. Once the diploma is printed, any information modification will incur an additional cost.

9.2 Any discrepancy between the information given at the time of registration and the information on the candidate’s passport or ID (e.g., abbreviation instead of the full name) may lead the Institute to deny the candidate access to the exam room.

9.3 Exam dates may be subject to cancellation or rescheduling due to force majeure.

9.4 Once set, the date and time of the oral examination cannot be rescheduled or canceled.

9.5 Oral exams may take place early in the morning or late at night. There may be a significant time gap between the written and oral exams taken by the candidate. Oral exams may take place on a different day than the written exams depending on the number of candidates.

9.6 Oral exams for TEF will be recorded.

9.7 Candidates receive a summons. If the candidate has not received this summons, it is their responsibility to inquire at least one week before the exam takes place so that the Institute can resend the document on time.

9.8 Candidates must arrive 15 minutes before the start of the exams, as indicated in the summons. Delays will not lead to any accommodations.

9.9 The details of the grades obtained will appear on the success certificate. No results will be given by email or phone.

9.10 Success certificates and diplomas must be collected by the candidate in person at the Institute within one month and upon presentation of an identity card.

9.11 If the candidate is unable to collect their success certificate or diploma in person, they can write a letter of authorization allowing a third party to collect these documents on their behalf. This letter must be signed by the candidate by hand and include the candidate’s name, the name of the third party receiving authorization, the name of the exam center, and the date. The third party must bring this printed letter, their own ID (e.g., passport), and a copy of the candidate’s ID.

9.12 Certificates and diplomas can be reissued in case of loss (free) or to correct an error on the original document (paid). Reissues due to unchecked errors will incur additional fees.

ARTICLE 10 – APPLICABLE LAW AND JURISDICTION:

The law applicable to these general terms and conditions of sale is Finnish law. Any dispute that may arise between the parties regarding the formation, execution, or interpretation of these general terms and conditions will be under the exclusive jurisdiction of the District Court of Helsinki (Helsingin käräjäoikeus). These terms are written in French, Finnish, and English. In case of discrepancies between the versions, the French version prevails.
