Failure of the course / cancellation
4.1 Unless otherwise stated in the course description, a course/training will only take place if there are registrations for at least half of the maximum number of places. Unless otherwise stated in the description, each course/training has a maximum of twelve participants. Registrations that go beyond this cannot be considered.
4.2 The coding school reserves the right to cancel a course if the number of participants is insufficient. Furthermore, the coding school reserves the right to cancel a course or appointment if the trainer is unable to work on the course date and a replacement trainer cannot be organized in good time or there is another unforeseen obstacle to performance which cannot be overcome through reasonable expenses of the coding school and the coding school is not responsible for this obstacle.
4.3 If the minimum number of participants is not reached, the coding school will inform the participant, no later than five working days before the start of the course, that the course will not take place and reimburse the participant for any remuneration already paid.
4.4 If a course participant cancels a course in whole or in part, this must be done as early as possible. Course fees already paid will not be refunded. However, it is possible to arrange alternative dates after consultation with the coding school. The statutory right of revocation ( revocation instruction ) remains unaffected.
Multi-day/partial courses
4.5 If the participant does not attend a course date, there is no entitlement to a replacement lesson or reimbursement of the fee.
4.6 If a course date is canceled due to the trainer being unable to attend, an alternative date will be offered (if possible). The coding school is responsible for choosing the date. If no alternative date can be found, the date is cancelled. There is only a right to a proportionate refund if less than 90% of the planned course hours were offered. The reimbursement amount is calculated based on the difference between the percentage of hours actually offered and 90 percent. Upon request, the fee for the period will be reimbursed pro rata.
