=====================================

Life Time Policy

From 15th Mar 2021 onwards Life Time policy would be free for life only for students who opt for the same at the time of registration. A student can opt for this by paying the necessary fee for this unique learning feature. Please keep the confirmation email and admission form (physical / email) handy to claim this policy in the future. If both these documents are not provided then the policy would not be applicable.
 
Applicable only for vacant seats in the batch and on first come first serve basis. Applicable only for students who are able to furnish the physical admission receipt / emails (admission form and confirmation both) with ID Proof, if only one of both is provided then the student would need to only pay 75% of the full course fee and keep the receipt / emails handy for future. Students within 3 months of joining date would be given priority. The student would not be able to pick and chose the batch and its timings. Life Time Policy is eligible at the same physical institute enrolled for and mode enrolled for.

For Eg. - If a student enrolls for an online batch, online mode is available for Life Time based upon the above policy. If the same students wants to enroll at a physical institute then no extra charge, but only the difference would be taken from the student and the fees paid online would be 100% adjusted in the on-prem fees - This policy is in place considering covid all students registering in 2020 will not need to pay the 50% fee of converting life time policy from online to in person classes. From 2021 and once Covid 19 pandemic is declared over by the respective agencies or once the Govt allows the operations, 50% of the full course regular fee would be charged to convert the life time benefit from online to institute classes.
 
Students who have attended physical in person classes at the institute and wish to avail the benefit of the policy would need to pay an one time online convenience fee of 50% of the full course regular fee. If the student has moved to a zone where the fee is higher than the home zone. For Eg. if the student has moved from India to Canada then this charge would be applicable over and above the change in fee structure.

It is mandatory for the students enrolling for the Life Time Free session to complete the batch regularly with a min attendance of 75% to avoid mismanagement of seat allocation. If the policy is misused and the student does not attend the classes regularly with sincerity then either the student would be charged 50% of the course fee or the Life Time Policy would be revoked for the student permanently.

All students enrolling for Online sessions would have the eligibility of Life Time from the same country they have registered for or in the countries where the prevailing fees is less then in the country they had initially registered for.
For Eg. - A student who has registered for online classes in Canada by paying the Canadian Fees of C$ 100, he / she would be entitled for the life time free classes (A1) in Canada as well as all other regions which have the fees less than C$ 100. If the student wishes to join the classes in a region where the fees is higher than what he / she had paid for in their country then then only the difference needs to paid to avail the Life Time Free Class Benefit.
 
All students who do not inform the professor / FrenchAce of not being able to continue the course and stop attending the classes without any intimation, one time charge of 50% of full course fee would be charged from such students if one wishes to avail the policy. It is always best to intimate via email at Bonjour@FrenchAce.com so as you also have a record of the same.
 
Cooling off period - After availing lifetime access once the student will need to wait for at-least 6 months after completing the course to avail the benefit of lifetime A1 class again.

Life Time Free Classes are only for A1 Level.
 
All fee charged would be as per the current fee structure and not with the fee structure with which the student had registered. 
 
The following benefit is only applicable only for students who have enrolled post 15th Mar 2021 and have paid for the Life Time module separately apart from the course fee:
If a student needs a specific batch under Life Time Policy and has availed Life Time Policy separately by paying for the benefit apart from the course fee . In such case the student can opt to pay just 50% of the fee and repeat the Level A1 as per the desired batch.

=====================================


Geography / Zone Policy

The student paying the fee in the Indian Sub-Continent as per the Indian Sub-Continent fee structure must be present in the Indian-Subcontinent till the end of the course. If a student is found attending the classes from outside the Indian sub-Continent after paying the Indian Sub-Continent fees then FrenchAce reserves the right to forfeit the complete fee paid and stop the classes for that student immediately and withdraw access to all study material. Also that student would not be eligible for LifeTime A1 and would be considered as a new student from there on.
