If you live in Québec, we will provide you with a French version of these Terms and the related enrollment documents before asking you to accept the agreement.

You may use the website only for lawful personal purposes.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle information collected through the website.
LINGOIST OS is a 12-week live program focused on the Speaking and Writing sections of CELPIP-General.
The program is delivered through the LINGOIST OS training protocol described in these Terms.
The program works on:
The goal is to help participants produce CLB 9-level Speaking and Writing more consistently under CELPIP conditions.
That goal describes the direction of the training. It is not a promise or guarantee that you will receive any particular official CELPIP score.
The Founding Cohort is designed to include the components below.
You will be placed in a fixed Training Team designed for six participants.
Once your final Training Team assignment has been confirmed, the membership of that team will remain fixed throughout the 12-week program.
Each week includes one live Training Team session with a CELPIP Lead. The session is designed to last approximately one hour.
The CELPIP Lead teaches that week’s focus and guides the team as participants apply it to a CELPIP Speaking or Writing task.
Training Team sessions are group sessions. They are not private tutoring or individual case management.
The full cohort meets for two live CELPIP Performance Labs each week.
Each Lab is designed to last approximately one hour.
Participants continue working on the week’s focus through new prompts, different combinations of people and changing conditions.
The CELPIP Lead may use selected responses from the room to:
Because these are full-cohort group sessions, we do not guarantee that every participant will speak, submit a response or receive individual feedback in every Lab.
The program includes six Human Performance Labs, generally held every second week.
Each Lab is designed to last approximately one hour.
These sessions are delivered by a Human Performance Specialist selected by LINGOIST OS.
They focus on general performance skills, including:
Human Performance Labs are educational. They are not psychotherapy, medical care, mental-health treatment or clinical assessment.
Each week, you will complete:
A rotating participant from your Training Team will review those responses with you using a task-specific guide.
Relevant observations may be recorded in a visual tracker.
Peer review is part of the training process. It is not an official CELPIP score, professional assessment or guarantee of how an official examiner will score the response.
The program is designed to include one full simulation in week 6 and another in week 12.
The simulations include all four CELPIP-General skills and are designed to mirror the publicly available order and timing in effect when the simulation is delivered.
These simulations are created and administered by LINGOIST OS.
They are not official CELPIP tests, do not produce official scores and do not predict an official result.
You may also receive access to:
The exact platform, file format and organization of supporting materials may change.
LINGOIST OS is not sold as a large self-paced course or prerecorded content library. Its core is the live, cohort-based training described in these Terms.
The access period for the program platform, supporting materials and available recordings will be stated in your Enrollment Summary. Enrollment does not include lifetime access unless the Enrollment Summary expressly says so.
Ending platform access does not prevent you from retaining personal worksheets or responses that were made available for lawful download, but all LINGOIST OS intellectual-property restrictions continue to apply.
LINGOIST OS is a live group program.
Participation in the program does not guarantee:
CELPIP Leads, specialists and administrators will provide individual attention where reasonably possible within the group design.
Training Teams are organized before the program begins using the availability confirmed during the application and enrollment process.
Before the first scheduled live session, you will receive written confirmation of:
Once your final Training Team assignment has been confirmed, the membership of that team will remain fixed throughout the 12-week program.
LINGOIST OS will not:
A participant’s withdrawal, removal, illness, absence or other unexpected circumstance may leave a Training Team with fewer than six participants. In that situation, the team will continue with the remaining participants.
LINGOIST OS does not guarantee that a person who leaves a Training Team will be replaced.
If your personal availability changes after your final Training Team assignment has been confirmed, you will remain assigned to the same team. Where a recording is available, you may use it to review a session you were unable to attend.
A change in personal availability does not create a right to:
If LINGOIST OS cannot assign you to a Training Team within the availability confirmed during your application and enrollment process, you may cancel before the program begins and receive a full refund of all amounts paid to LINGOIST OS, including applicable sales taxes.
A temporary rescheduling of a session under Section 18 does not change the membership of the Training Team.
The Founding Cohort is designed primarily for people who:
These characteristics describe the people the program was built for. They do not create an automatic right to admission.
Admission may involve:
Completing the Audit or being invited to a call does not guarantee admission.
There is no fee to complete the Audit.
We may accept or decline an application where we believe in good faith that:
If you need an accessibility accommodation to participate, please tell us before accepting your enrollment and making payment.
We will discuss reasonable options with you.
An accommodation is confirmed only when we agree to it in writing.
We cannot promise an accommodation that would fundamentally change the live group format or the essential structure of the program.
Nothing in this section limits an accommodation right that applies under applicable law.
If you are accepted, you will receive a personalized Enrollment Summary before payment.
The Enrollment Summary may be provided as a PDF, electronically signed document or another format you can save.
It will include the material details that apply to your enrollment, such as:
If your final Training Team assignment has not yet been confirmed when you accept your Enrollment Summary, it will be confirmed in writing before the program begins under Section 8.
You will have an opportunity to review the Enrollment Summary and ask for errors to be corrected before accepting it.
The Enrollment Summary forms part of your agreement with LINGOIST OS.
If a detail in your Enrollment Summary conflicts with a general provision in these Terms, the specific detail in the Enrollment Summary will apply to that enrollment, unless doing so would remove a right that cannot legally be waived.
Before payment, you will be asked to confirm that:
Acceptance may be recorded through:
Agreeing to these Terms does not, by itself, give LINGOIST OS permission to send optional promotional emails or use your experience as a testimonial.
The Founding Cohort is planned to begin on September 14, 2026.
The 12-week period begins with the first scheduled live session shown in the official cohort schedule.
The expected end date and known breaks will be shown in the Enrollment Summary or current live schedule provided before payment.
Because this is a live cohort program, its delivery depends on forming workable Training Teams and a workable overall cohort.
We may move the September 14, 2026 start date if additional time is reasonably needed to form the Founding Cohort in a way that allows the live program to be delivered as planned.
This is not general permission to move the date indefinitely.
The start date may be moved only once for this reason.
It may be moved later, never earlier, and may not be moved beyond October 9, 2026.
October 9, 2026 is the latest possible start date under these Terms.
If the date is moved because additional time is needed to form the cohort, we will notify enrolled participants by email no later than September 7, 2026.
The notice will state:
If the planned date changes, we will ask you to confirm in writing whether you accept the new date.
You are not required to accept it.
If you do not accept the new date, you may cancel and receive a full refund of all amounts paid to LINGOIST OS, including applicable taxes.
If the Founding Cohort cannot begin by October 9, 2026:
If the start date moves and you accept the new date, the 14-day refund period described later in these Terms begins from the first scheduled live session on the adjusted schedule.
Nothing in this section limits any cancellation or refund right that cannot legally be waived.
You should plan for approximately five to seven focused hours each week.
This estimate may include:
Five to seven hours is an estimate, not a fixed maximum.
The time an individual needs may vary.
Accepted applicants will receive the current live schedule before accepting the enrollment agreement and paying.
The schedule will show the information reasonably needed to decide whether participation is realistic, including:
A proposed Training Team time does not become the participant’s final Training Team assignment until LINGOIST OS confirms the assignment in writing under Section 8.
The Enrollment Summary may identify a date or time as provisional where it has not yet been finalized.
A participant will not be asked to pay without being told which material schedule details remain provisional.
Training Team membership will not remain provisional after the program begins.
We may make minor and reasonable scheduling adjustments when necessary because of:
Where possible, we will provide advance notice and offer one of the following:
A change that materially affects the weekly schedule, program duration, total live experience or a core component will be communicated as soon as reasonably possible.
If we cannot provide a reasonably equivalent replacement for a material part of the program, the remedies described in these Terms will apply.
Any rescheduling, substitute facilitator or alternative delivery arrangement under this section will preserve the membership of the affected Training Team. This section does not allow LINGOIST OS to move participants between Training Teams, combine teams or reorganize team membership.
The base program fee for the Founding Cohort is CAD 3,800.
Applicable sales taxes may be added based on:
Before paying, you will be shown:
No additional program fee will be charged after enrollment unless you separately agree to purchase something else.
If Hotmart is the payment method offered in your Enrollment Summary:
The contract for delivery of the LINGOIST OS program remains between you and LINGOIST OS.
Hotmart does not teach, administer or control the program.
LINGOIST OS remains responsible for the program description, delivery and commitments made in your enrollment agreement.
Your place is confirmed after:
A pending or rejected Hotmart transaction does not confirm a place.
For one limited enrollment completed before LINGOIST OS is first offered for purchase through Hotmart, payment may be accepted by wire transfer if that method is expressly stated in the participant’s Enrollment Summary.
Once LINGOIST OS is offered for purchase through Hotmart, wire transfer will no longer be offered for the same program unless Hotmart expressly permits otherwise.
For a direct wire transfer:
Unless the Enrollment Summary states otherwise, you are responsible for charges imposed by your own bank or an intermediary bank.
If bank charges result in a shortfall, we will tell you before confirming the place.
Never send money to banking instructions received from an unexpected address or message. If payment instructions appear unusual, verify them through support@lingoistos.com before sending funds.
After your payment is approved or cleared, we will send you a confirmation in a form you can save.
The confirmation package may include:
We will send these documents promptly and no later than 15 calendar days after the contract is entered into.
You should keep a copy for your records.
LINGOIST OS will also retain appropriate records showing:
An acceptance message, call or verbal conversation does not by itself confirm your place.
Your place is confirmed when:
Your place is personal.
It may not be sold, transferred or assigned to another person without our written agreement.
You may cancel at any time before the first scheduled live session and receive a full refund of the amounts paid to LINGOIST OS, including applicable sales taxes.
To cancel, email support@lingoistos.com.
Your notice is effective when it is sent, provided that it clearly states your intention to cancel.
You may cancel for any reason during the first 14 calendar days after the first scheduled live session of the Founding Cohort.
The first scheduled live session means the first live session shown on the official cohort schedule, whether or not you attend it.
The refund deadline is 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the fourteenth calendar day after that first scheduled session.
To cancel, email support@lingoistos.com before the deadline.
Your message should include:
You do not need to explain why you are cancelling.
If you cancel within this period:
Missing the first session does not delay or extend the refund deadline.
A Hotmart checkout may display a platform guarantee or refund period beginning on the purchase date.
Any refund right displayed at checkout applies in addition to these Terms and does not reduce a more favourable right offered here or required by law.
If you validly cancel under these Terms after Hotmart’s automatic guarantee period has ended:
Where possible, a Hotmart refund will be returned through the original Hotmart transaction.
Hotmart, a card issuer or another financial institution may require additional processing time.
A valid refund for a direct wire transfer will normally be returned to the original payer or originating account.
We may ask for information reasonably needed to verify the account and process the return.
The refund covers the amount received by LINGOIST OS, including taxes paid to us.
Bank, intermediary or foreign-exchange fees charged by third parties may not be recoverable unless applicable law requires otherwise.
We will never ask for your online banking password.
For a valid direct-payment refund, LINGOIST OS will initiate the refund within 15 calendar days after receiving a complete written cancellation notice.
For a valid Hotmart refund, LINGOIST OS will submit, approve or authorize the refund through the applicable Hotmart process within 15 calendar days after receiving a complete written cancellation notice.
A request is complete when we have enough information to:
Hotmart, banks, card issuers and intermediary institutions control how long the funds take to appear after the refund has been initiated or authorized. Their processing time is separate from LINGOIST OS’s 15-day deadline to take the action under our control.
If a refund is owed under these Terms but cannot reasonably be completed through the original Hotmart transaction, LINGOIST OS will work with the participant to arrange another lawful and reasonably practical way to return the amount owed.
After the 14-day refund period ends, the program fee is non-refundable except where:
There is no refund after the deadline solely because:
Nothing in this section removes a mandatory consumer right that applies where you live.
If you believe a charge is incorrect, contact support@lingoistos.com so we can investigate it.
A chargeback or payment dispute does not automatically cancel your contractual obligations unless:
If a payment is reversed, disputed or charged back, we may suspend program access while the issue is reviewed.
We will not use this section to penalize someone for exercising a legitimate legal or refund right.
If we cancel the Founding Cohort before it begins, you will receive a full refund of the amounts paid to LINGOIST OS, including applicable sales taxes.
If, after the program begins, we permanently cancel a material portion and cannot provide a reasonable replacement, we will offer an appropriate remedy.
Depending on the circumstances, that remedy may include:
LINGOIST OS is not responsible for a delay or temporary disruption caused by an event reasonably outside our control, including:
We will still take reasonable steps to:
This section does not allow LINGOIST OS to keep payment for a material service we permanently fail to provide where applicable law requires another remedy.
LINGOIST OS is live and participation-based.
You are responsible for:
Missing a session does not automatically entitle you to:
LINGOIST OS intends to record the sessions identified as recorded in these Terms and in your Enrollment Summary.
A technical failure, incomplete recording or temporary unavailability may occasionally prevent a recording from being created or made available. A recording is a support resource and does not replace participation in the live program.
CELPIP Performance Labs are intended to be recorded.
By enrolling and participating in a recorded Performance Lab, you understand that the recording may capture:
Your voice, display name and work may be captured even if your camera is off.
Recordings are used for program delivery and may be accessed only by:
They will not be used for advertising, testimonials, public content, case studies or social media without separate permission.
Recorded Performance Labs are a material part of the program’s format.
If you have concerns about being recorded, raise them before payment.
We will explain whether a reasonable alternative is available, but we cannot guarantee an alternative that changes the live group format.
Weekly Training Team sessions are intended to be recorded.
Training Team recordings allow members of the same Training Team to review the work completed during a session or watch a session they were unable to attend live.
A Training Team recording may be accessed only by:
Members of other Training Teams do not receive access to the recording.
A Training Team recording may capture:
Your voice, display name, responses and participation may still be captured if your camera is turned off.
Recorded Training Team sessions are a material part of the program’s format.
If you have concerns about being recorded, raise them before payment. We will explain whether a reasonable alternative is available, but we cannot guarantee an alternative that changes the live group format.
Human Performance Labs are not recorded by default.
If a particular Human Performance Lab will be recorded, participants will be informed in advance and any required consent will be requested before recording begins.
The period during which program recordings are available will be communicated to participants.
A recording may be retained for internal personnel training or quality improvement only under the separate optional consent process described in the Privacy Policy. Accepting these Terms does not, by itself, provide that optional consent.
Program recordings are deleted from active LINGOIST OS systems within 30 days after the end of the 12-week program, subject to the limited exceptions described in the Privacy Policy.
A temporary technical failure, incomplete recording or unavailable recording does not create an automatic refund right when the live session itself was delivered.
You may not record, download, photograph, screen-record, reproduce or share:
unless LINGOIST OS and every affected person give written permission.
Live group work requires trust.
You agree to keep information shared by other participants private.
You may not disclose another participant’s:
This obligation continues after the program ends.
LINGOIST OS will take reasonable steps to establish and enforce confidentiality expectations.
Because participants interact directly, we cannot guarantee that every participant will always follow the rules.

A serious breach of another participant’s privacy may result in removal from the program.
You retain ownership of the original Speaking and Writing responses you create.
You give LINGOIST OS a limited, non-exclusive licence to:

Enrollment gives you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use those materials for your own CELPIP preparation during the access period communicated to you.
You do not receive ownership of the materials.
Without written permission, you may not:
You may keep a personal copy of a worksheet or response you created where downloading is allowed, but LINGOIST OS content contained in that document remains protected.
You may not use LINGOIST OS to:
You should not upload secure or confidential test material to a LINGOIST OS platform or session.
We may remove material or take action where necessary to protect test integrity.
You agree to:
We may warn, suspend or remove a participant whose conduct is:
Where appropriate, we will explain the concern and give the participant a reasonable opportunity to correct it.
Immediate removal may occur where conduct creates a serious risk to another person, the cohort, the program or confidential information.
Removal for misconduct does not create a refund right beyond:
Enrollment does not give LINGOIST OS permission to use your experience publicly.
We will not use your identifiable:
in marketing, advertising, emails, case studies, social media or public materials without separate permission.
We may ask whether you are open to being contacted about sharing your experience.

Refusing permission will not affect your enrollment, participation, support or relationship with LINGOIST OS.
LINGOIST OS provides training, structure, practice, feedback and support.
We do not administer, control or score the official CELPIP examination.
We do not guarantee or promise:
Results depend on factors outside our control, including:
No statement in a video, webpage, Audit response, call, email, live session, testimonial or program material changes this section unless a change is expressly included in a written agreement accepted by both sides.

We are not acting as:
Information about PR, Express Entry, ITAs, work permits or other immigration matters is provided only as general context.

Human Performance Labs teach general performance skills. They do not diagnose or treat anxiety, trauma, attention disorders or any medical or psychological condition.
LINGOIST OS is an independent preparation program.
It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, approved by or endorsed by Paragon Testing Enterprises Inc., Prometric or the official CELPIP testing organization.
LINGOIST OS does not administer official CELPIP registrations, tests, scoring or score reviews.
References to CELPIP are used only to identify the examination for which the program provides independent preparation.
The official testing organization may change:
We may reasonably update the program to respond to those changes.
The program may use third-party services for:
Your use of those services may also be subject to their terms and privacy policies.
We are not responsible for a failure caused entirely by a third-party platform.
If a third-party interruption materially affects the program, we will take reasonable steps to restore access or provide an appropriate alternative.
Our Privacy Policy forms part of these Terms and explains how we collect, use, share, retain and protect personal information.
By enrolling, you confirm that you have had an opportunity to read it.
Agreeing to these Terms is not consent to receive optional promotional emails.
Marketing consent, where requested, will be separate and optional.
If you believe we have not delivered something promised in your enrollment agreement, contact support@lingoistos.com with a description of the issue.
We will acknowledge the message within five business days.
We will make a reasonable effort to provide a substantive response within 15 business days.

Nothing in this section prevents either side from:
This section applies only to the extent permitted by applicable law.
LINGOIST OS is not responsible for:
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability arising from the relevant enrollment will not exceed the total amount you paid to LINGOIST OS for that enrollment.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits:
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Paraguay, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
Choosing Paraguayan law does not remove a mandatory consumer-protection, privacy, language or contract right that applies to you and cannot legally be waived because of where you live.
If a mandatory local law gives you greater protection than these Terms, that mandatory protection continues to apply.
We may update these Terms for future website use or future enrollments.
The version you accept when enrolling will govern your enrollment unless:
If a material change affects an active participant, we will provide reasonable notice.
We will not use a later website version to retroactively remove a material contractual right from an existing participant.
We may establish a company or transfer the operation of LINGOIST OS to a successor business.
If these Terms or an enrollment are assigned to a successor:
You may not transfer your enrollment or obligations to another person without our written permission.
You agree that we may communicate electronically about:
You are responsible for providing an accurate email address and checking it reasonably regularly.
Electronic acceptances, enrollment confirmations, invoices and emails may be retained as records of the agreement.
These Terms, the Privacy Policy, your accepted Enrollment Summary, invoice, enrollment confirmation and any additional written condition expressly accepted by both sides form the agreement concerning your enrollment.
They replace prior informal discussions about the same subject where those discussions conflict with the written agreement.
Nothing in this section limits a right arising from a false, misleading or deceptive representation, or any right that cannot legally be waived.
If a court or competent authority finds one provision unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent legally possible.
If either side does not immediately enforce a provision, that does not permanently waive the right to enforce it later.
Headings are included to make these Terms easier to read.
They do not change the meaning of a provision.
