3. Cancellation o fand changes to events

We can cancel events for important reasons (such as insufficient participants to break even; short term unavailability of instructors without suitable surrogates, etc.). Participants are immediately informed and refunded; further claims against us are excluded.

We can – as long as reasonably acceptable for the participants – furthermore make changes to the event (e.g. to the agenda, schedule, location). These changes will be immediately communicated via our website and, if known to us, via email to the participants.

4. Cancellation conditions

If not regulated otherwise (for example in separate terms of participation), participants can cancel their participations up to 2 weeks before the event under the following conditions:

  • Cancellation is possible without costs up to 6 weeks before the event.
  • In case of a cancellation up to 2 weeks before the event, the cancellation fee is 50 percent of the agreed participation fee.
  • A later cancellation is not possible.

The participants reserve the right to prove that no damage or one lesser than the cancellation fee has been inflicted.

We will immediately refund the participation fee to the participants, reduced by the cancellation fee where applicable.

The participants are at liberty to designate a surrogate participant at any time.
