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 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.
