Terms and conditions
These terms apply unless different ones are agreed on privately.
Terms and conditions (individual and group lessons)
The price of the lessons includes my own internal materials, but not external materials. For each level, you will have to buy a method book, usually from the publisher synope.dk.
In addition, I recommend the following materials.
You should also have access to a bilingual dictionary (but as you move up the levels, you should use public monolingual ordnet.dk more often, which is free!)
I also recommend that you own a reference grammar besides the method book.
A common one I use is Grammatikken (Barbara Fischer-Hansen, Ann Kledal).
For students who like a more formal approach, I can recommend Dansk Grammatik (Robert Zola Christensen, Lisa Christensen).
The payment is made through a bank transfer to an account indicated in the invoice.
The rate in non-Danish currency is always calculated from Danish kroner at the time of the invoice.
For business clients located in Denmark, 25% of VAT has to be added to the price. Any other clients are exempt from VAT (business clients located outside Denmark or private customers located anywhere).
Clients aren't allowed to record lessons without my explicit consent.
Terms and conditions (individual lessons)
One-hour and half-hour lessons include a (respectively) 5-minute and 3-minute break at the end.
I often agree on the time of the next lesson at the end of the previous one, but it can also be done off-lesson if you prefer.
We can reschedule individual lessons if you ask 72 hours or more in advance. This means that if you need to cancel or reschedule a lesson less than 72 hours before it takes place, the lesson will be deducted from the balance of lessons even if it doesn't take place. I need to do this because if I allow clients to routinely cancel or move lessons at the last moment, it causes a significant loss of income for me, because I am generally unable to fill these slots with other students within such short notice. In addition, that reserved spot may often have been denied to another student. However, I can make an exception if a punctual, unforeseen major circumstance takes place, such as a medical emergency. In a case like this, I will generally reschedule the lesson without being subtracted from the balance of lessons, even if it happens at the last moment.
Terms and conditions (group lessons)
Group lessons are only for adult students.
One-hour lessons include a 5-minute break at the end.
If you cannot attend a specific group lesson, I cannot reschedule them like I do with some 1-to-1 lessons, because the other students are still taking the planned lesson.
The number of spots in a group is limited in order to ensure quality. Spots are given in order of preference determined by the time you express deliberate interest (request an invoice). However, the spot is only secured if the payment is received latest 48 hours before the first lesson of the group. This gives a chance for queued students to be included in time in case someone doesn't complete the subscription.
If a group doesn't reach the minimum amount of students, it will have to be cancelled, and the price of the lessons will be returned.
