Not prorated for the session

My comment:

In other words the session was maybe free or given a low enough charge.

Complete mis-translation — it's nothing to do with a 'prorated session', if anything, the other way round.

Your headword answer under-translates, but your second suggestion si closer; however 'in part' rather under-translated 'prorata', even though as you say it would generally be implied (that any partial reimbursement would be done in proportion to the actual attendance etc.)

nor fare revision in proportion to the number of sessions attended or group participations

My comment:

I translated down to "participation". I think the author means that you can either be absent at a session or, inside the same session, decide not to take part in all the mastermind groups.

But that doesn't make a great deal of sense in EN, and certainly not in terms of the use of the word 'fare', which would be quite wrong here.

Tony we tend not to directly critique other contributors' proposals on this forum (it's a bit of a brainstorm, and people need to feel free to contribute). Better just to offer your own proposal and see how it goes - and your proposals are very good so welcome to the group!

I don't take Tony's remark as an offence. He is right to remark that "fare"is not suitable here_ I was too quick on the draw as far as typing is concerned, not the mind!
