Payment Terms

Payment Terms

It is the responsibility of the student to ensure that the Institution's Tuition Fees in respect of the Programme are paid at the beginning of each Academic or Calendar Year of study.

The fees must be paid before or at registration (enrolment) whether directly by the Student or on the Student's behalf by a third party (such as a relative, employer, or other sponsors).

Students are required to abide by The Edu Network's regulations in respect of Tuition Fees and payments.

The payment of any sums intended to be in respect of Tuition Fees by or on behalf of the Student does not in itself indicate the existence of a contract between the Institution and the Student. A contract for Programme of study provision shall only come into being when the Student registers (enrolls) on the Programme of study.

 

Tuition fee deposits

The Edu Network requires successful applicants to selected programs to pay a tuition fee deposit. 

 

Late payment and late fee charges

Students failing to pay on time will be given a debtor status (debt flag) that may result in academic sanctions including the loss of services. Continued non-payment of an undisputed debt (with no agreed payment arrangements in place) may result, at the education provider's discretion, in the passing of the debt to an external agency.

 

Currency conversion and bank charges

All payments made through this online payment facility must be made in the currency asked by the education provider. Any currency conversion costs or other charges incurred in making the payment or in processing a refund shall be borne by the Student or the third party making payment and shall not be deductible from the amounts due to the Institution.

 

Payments by Third Parties

Payment of Tuition Fees by a person or organization other than the Student does not constitute a contract for admission to the Institution, nor for the provision of a Programme of study between such person or organization and the Institution.

 

Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions are governed by and to be construed in accordance with Bulgarian Law. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Bulgarian courts.

 

Overpayments and refunds

Payments made online for Tuition Fees will be applied to the Student's Institution account in accordance with the details submitted electronically.

In the event that an overpayment is made against the total Tuition Fees due, the credit balance arising will be used to offset any debt or invoice arising from the accommodation, library debts, or any other legitimate charge in due date order. If there is no other debt or invoice, any remaining credit balance will be refunded in accordance with the Institution's normal refund procedure. Refunds must be requested and supported by written authorization from the Student.

The Institution will make any refund payable to the card account or bank account from which the original payment was received.
