How to apply for a credit note, in case of cancellation or postponement:

Cancellations or postponements due to serious health situations -or other grave situations- will be evaluated to apply for a credit note, after presenting a letter explaining the specific case. In case of a health situation doctor’s certification must be presented authenticated by a lawyer.

Credit notes are evaluated for credit in the Host Family Program only, and not for other services requested like Spanish Programs or trips.

Credit notes are valid for a maximum of one year, after date of cancellation or postponement.

In regards to Costa Rican exchange rate:

Institution’s commitment:

If a change of host family is necessary, the participant must explain the situation in detail and ICLC host family program coordinator will study the case.  The coordinator will offer advice about cultural aspects and will provide another host family accomodation.

Participant’s commitments:

  • I am well aware of the fact that no refunds will be given if I decide to quit the Host Family Program.
  • I am well aware of the fact that any accident that may take place and any injury that I may suffer in Costa Rica will be exclusively part of my responsibility. Under no circumstance whatsoever will I make ICLC or the host family liable for any damages because I understand that I must have medical insurance for emergencies and for medical evacuation and repatriation of remains.

Important note:

Should it be necessary to enforce the terms, conditions and policies of this agreement by any means (including, but not limited to arbitration, negotiation or the necessity of any legal action), the prevailing party in such action shall be controlled and submitted to the Costa Rican law.
