If you request/consent to begin studies during the 14-day period, you may still withdraw within 14 days; we may then charge only a proportionate amount for the part delivered up to your withdrawal and any demonstrable (verifiable) non-recoverable costs. We confirm receipt of your notice and refund any amount due without undue delay, and no later than 14 days after your notice.
