This Refund & Cancellation Policy governs all educational purchases, workshop registrations, student accommodations, and professional device transactions made through Koreva World Beauty Academy (operated in Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea).
By completing an enrollment transaction or paying a course seat reservation deposit, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to adhere to these terms.
2In-Person Masterclass Tuition & Cohorts
To maintain our international gold-standard of clinical education, our workshops are capped at a strict maximum of 10 to 12 students per cohort. Every student is paired with dedicated live clinical demonstration models and customized cosmetic device stations.
Cancellation Notice Given More Than 30 Calendar Days in Advance
You are eligible for a 100% refund of your refundable tuition balance, or you may transfer your full credit toward any future available cohort date scheduled within 12 months without penalty.

Tuition fees are strictly non-refundable. Less than 14 days before class commencement, clinic models have been compensated, specialized single-use device cartridges and clinical ampoules have been unsealed, and international faculty schedules have been confirmed.
3South Korea Visa Denial Exception
We understand that international travel and visa processes can occasionally present unexpected hurdles. Koreva World Beauty Academy provides a compassionate exception policy for students whose visa application is officially rejected.
Official Visa Refusal Conditions:
The student must provide an official, verifiable rejection letter issued by the Embassy or Consulate of the Republic of Korea, or official K-ETA rejection receipt.
Notice and embassy documentation must be submitted via email to sedax@naver.com no later than 14 calendar days prior to the scheduled cohort start date.
Upon verification, the student will receive a 100% refund of tuition minus a nominal $100 USD international administrative banking fee, or may elect a 100% full credit transfer to a future cohort once travel documentation is resolved.
4Online Courses & Digital Learning Content
Koreva offers high-definition streaming masterclasses, proprietary protocols, clinical manuals, and downloadable treatment consent forms through our digital learning portal.
• 14-Day Refund Window: You may request a full refund within 14 days of online course purchase, provided that you have viewed less than 20% of the video curriculum.
• Downloaded Curriculum & Certificates: Once official Koreva clinical protocol manuals, formulation recipe sheets, or digital completion certificates have been accessed or downloaded, digital purchases become non-refundable in order to protect academy intellectual property.
5Clinical Aesthetic Devices & Starter Kits
Many students purchase professional Korean skincare devices (e.g., Fractional RF machines, Cryo-Electroporation units, Aqua Peeling equipment) and professional treatment ampoule kits.
Sterile Hygiene & Health Regulations
Due to strict Republic of Korea medical hygiene regulations, sterile ampoules, micro-needle cartridges, and treatment serums with broken manufacturer safety seals are strictly non-returnable and non-refundable.
Defective Equipment Warranty: Any hardware aesthetic device exhibiting manufacturing defects upon receipt will be repaired or replaced with a brand-new factory unit free of charge in accordance with our 1-Year Manufacturer Warranty.

Less than 14 Days / Early Departure: Housing reservations are non-refundable as private rooms are blocked and cannot be reallocated on short notice.
