No refunds will be issued to students attending the Equiflex Equine Sports Massage Therapy program. The student may rebook the class for one additional date.

Cancellation and Refund Policy for Correspondence Programs

For students enrolled in distance education courses, the number of class meetings held is not a relevant criterion because such courses are designed to substitute independent work for class attendance. Accordingly, the refund policy and withdrawal criteria is only based upon the tuition and does not include the materials (books, tools, supplies, etc).

The tuition refund for withdrawal from distance education courses is calculated from the date of the application to the date withdrawal is formally initiated. The amount of the tuition refund is based on the time that has elapsed since the beginning of the program.

The materials refund is determined by ownership. The ownership transfers from the school to the student upon purchase. Therefore, there is no partial refund of materials. The three-day cancellation policy applies to materials. Materials are copyright protected, etc, and cannot be viewed or reviewed prior to ownership. That being said, these items will not be sent to the student until after the three-day full refund policy expires (see below).

Three-day Full Refund: This is a period of three (3) days or 72 hours from the time of completion of all of the following events:

1. Student signs and dates the enrollment agreement after he/she has read and understands all aspects of the agreement.

2. A school official signs and dates the enrollment agreement.3. The student pays Body Business School of Massage Therapy an initial payment.

6


Therefore, the following refund calculations will determine the refund amount:

Withdrawal during the first week following the expiration of the three-day refund policy will give the student a 100% refund, less a $25.00 processing fee.

Withdrawal during the second week following the expiration of the three-day refund policy will give the student a 75% refund, less a $25.00 processing fee.

Withdrawal during the third week following the expiration of the three-day refund policy will give the student a 50% refund, less a $25.00 processing fee.

Withdrawal during the fourth week following the expiration of the three-day refund policy will give the student a 25% refund, less a $25.00 processing fee.

Students are not entitled to a refund of any amount beyond the fourth week following the expiration of the three-day refund policy.

Refund Policy for Veterans

The school has and maintains a refund policy for veterans, and other eligible persons enrolled under provisions of Title 38, that provides a refund for the unused portion of tuition in the event the Title 38 student fails to enter the course, withdraws, or is discontinued from any time prior to completion. Such policy provides that the amount charged to the Title 38 student for tuition for a portion of the course shall not exceed the approximate pro-rata portion of the total charges for tuition that the length of the completed portion of the course bears to its total length. An amount not in excess of $10.00 for an established registration fee is not subject to refund or prorating. The refund must be completed within 40 days per Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) 21.4255.

Other Considerations

The Holder in Due Course Rule: Any holder of this consumer credit contract is subject to all claims and defenses which the debtor could assert against the seller of goods or services obtained pursuant hereto or with the proceeds hereof, recovery hereunder by the debtor shall not exceed amounts paid by the debtor hereunder.

Correspondence Program: The student pays for the program in full upon enrollment.
