Using “or” to connect alternative possibility. Regarding to my university’s refund policy
There is a policy statement of my university that are confusing me and this could be a make or break on my case to receive a refund from my university.
The below statement was written in the policy:
The student are entitled to a full refund if in the unlikely event that the University is unable to provide the program or start the program on the agreed starting day.
Is is possible that it means:
1) in the unlikely event that the University is unable to provide the program on the agreed starting day.
And
2) in the unlikely event that the University is unable to start the program on the agreed starting day.
Or does it just mean:
3) in the unlikely event that the University is unable to provide the program.
And
4) in the unlikely event that the University is unable to start the program on the agreed starting date.
Hope someone can help me out here. Thank you in advance.

Probably you will get a better answer from your university. I doubt an answer here would cause them to change their mind. Also: for legal advice, see a lawyer.

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because this Q. is inappropriate for this site. We can answer questions about English usage - but not about what we think someone meant, and especially not about legal issues.

In terms of English it means either one. The program is unavailable OR it is available, but not on the stated date. But that does nothing to help you in this specific case.
