• The course start date, class days, and hours are as specified in the packages indicated on the website. Changes may occur with the mutual agreement of the participants. 

• AGREEMENT

1.1  The subject of this agreement is the terms and conditions regarding the sale and performance of the German language course offered by the School, the course fees, the rules to be applied during the course, and the rights and obligations of the parties in case of disputes. 

1.2 The Student agrees to comply with the rules, guidelines, and procedures set forth in this agreement. 

1.3  The Registration Agreement shall enter into force upon the Student's submission of the registration application and receipt of confirmation of enrollment in the course schedule from the School.

• SERVICES 

2.1 The School provides training and support in German (or other languages) language skills (reading, writing, listening, speaking), exam preparation, learning strategies, and professional communication. 

2.2 The School may adjust class times and weekly schedules for pedagogical or organizational reasons; changes will be announced in a timely manner via LMS or email.

2.3. Content update: Course content may be regularly updated for didactic purposes; objectives and proficiency levels will remain unchanged.

• TUITION FEES 

3.1 Total course fee: {calculation-1}

3.2. Registration processing fee:
    i. A one-time registration processing fee of 50 euros is mandatory. This fee is non-refundable under any circumstances.  
    ii. If a confirmation of registration is requested before the start of the relevant course for submission to an embassy or any official government authority, the following provisions shall apply:

If the full course fee has already been paid, a confirmation of registration will be issued and provided to the prospective participant for submission to the relevant authority. If the prospective participant decides not to attend the course, €200 will be deducted from the amount paid, and the remaining balance will be refunded.

If the course fee has not yet been paid and a confirmation of registration is nevertheless requested, a total payment of €200 is required, consisting of a €50 registration fee and a €150 advance payment toward the course fee. After this payment has been received, a confirmation of registration addressed to the relevant authority may be issued.

If the prospective participant attends the course, the €150 advance payment will be credited toward the total course fee. However, if the prospective participant does not attend the course, the total amount of €200 paid shall not be refunded.

3.3 The fee for each module (e.g., A1 (A1.1 + A1.2) is for 2 months) is collected before the respective module begins. The Student will be granted access to the class after paying the fee.  

3.4 If you sign a contract for multiple levels at the outset, you will receive a 5% discount for each level. For example: If the single price for A1 and A2 is EUR 800 each, and you purchase A2 along with A1, the total will be EUR 800 + EUR 760 (5% discount). We recommend selecting multiple levels. 

3.5 The School issues invoices with specific due dates. The Student shall make payments on time through the accepted channels/automated systems.

3.6 Non-payment/delay: If an unpaid invoice remains outstanding after the final reminder or for a longer period, the School may – provided there is no written payment agreement – terminate the registration or block access to the course. The School may claim its unpaid receivables and may seek assistance from third-party collection service providers. 

3.7  Corporate or public funding (e.g., job center/employment agency) may be involved; approval and payment are ultimately the responsibility of the Student. 

3.8. Textbooks and external exam costs are not included in the course fee. 

3.9 In the contract, fees for the selected levels are collected before the start of each respective level during the course. For example, if four levels between A1 and B2 are purchased, only the fee for Level A1 is charged before it begins. When multiple levels are purchased and the total amount is paid in a single payment, an additional 5% discount is granted on top of the existing offers.

3.10  After completing the course registration, the prospective participant may exercise the right of withdrawal by submitting a written request no later than 30 calendar days before the start date of the first course they are scheduled to attend.

The withdrawal request must be submitted in writing to courses@schopenhauer-sprachschule.com. In this case, the full amount paid will be refunded to the prospective participant, excluding the registration fee of €50 and any applicable bank transfer fees.

If the prospective participant wishes to cancel the registration less than 30 calendar days before the course start date without providing and documenting a reasonable justification, the remaining amount will be refunded after deducting the registration fee of €50, any applicable bank transfer fees, and 50% of the fee for the first course level — for example, level A1.

Reasonable justifications shall be assessed in accordance with the provisions set out in §4.

Failure to meet these attendance requirements will result in the forfeiture of your right to a refund.  
2. Notification Period: Participants must notify the institution via email (courses@schopenhauer-sprachschule.com) within 7 calendar days from the first course day if the course does not meet expectations. Late notifications will not be considered. 
3. Consultation and Alternative Solutions: Upon receipt of a valid refund request, an online/in-person meeting will be arranged to assess the situation with the institution. A suitable alternative (e.g., change of class group, instructor, or program) will be offered. If a satisfactory alternative cannot be offered or is not accepted, the participant is entitled to a refund. 
4. Refund Procedure: Refunds will be made to the same account used for the original payment. Refunds will be processed within 4 weeks of approval. The institution will refund the full fee, excluding the registration processing fee, transfer charges, currency exchange differences, and bank deductions. 
5. Communication and Validity: All refund requests must be made in writing via email. Verbal or informal messages (e.g., via messaging apps) are not considered valid for refund processing.

 

4 WITHDRAWAL FROM THE COURSE AND EXCUSED ABSENCES

4.1  Upon the Student's written request, a leave of absence may be permitted at the School's sole discretion. Except in emergencies, all leaves must be requested and approved in writing in advance. Approval is not guaranteed; the School team will evaluate each request individually. 

4.2  A leave of absence will be granted without exception upon sufficient documented evidence of the following mitigating circumstances: The Student's own long-term illness, disability, or permanent health condition; pregnancy and mandatory postnatal rest; inability to continue due to severe psychological or psychiatric illness; death of a first-degree relative (mother, father, spouse, or child); serious illness or essential care requirements of a close family member; compulsory military service; admission to a formal educational institution creating a schedule conflict; court order or obligations imposed by an official government agency; or inability to continue due to changes in legal status, such as immigration, refugee status, or residence/visa issues.

4.3 Furthermore, the School reserves the right to evaluate and decide on leave requests for other documented reasons, including but not limited to: the Student's short-term illnesses; childcare or minor family health issues; schedule conflicts related to a child's education; personal reasons or family problems; change of residence or moving; changes in the Student's work schedule, workload, or professional responsibilities; new job opportunities; voluntary transfer; mandatory change of duties by the employer; temporary internet or technical hardware failures; lack of motivation; temporary financial difficulties; or general dissatisfaction. 

4.4 The return date from any approved leave must be mutually agreed upon in writing at the time the leave is granted. If the Student does not return to the program on the agreed-upon return date, their enrollment will be terminated. This situation does not entitle the Student to a refund. However, at the School's sole discretion, the Student may be offered a place in a subsequent group. 

4.5 The Student will be warned a maximum of two times for actions requiring withdrawal from the course and their defense will be requested. Their defense will be evaluated by the course management. If the Student is found to be at fault, the provisions for withdrawal from the course without excuse will apply. 

4.6 Course Withdrawal Fees and Refunds (excluding paragraph 3.12):

• If the participant’s reason is not considered reasonable, the full fee for the attended portion of the course is charged, and only half of the fee for the remaining period is collected.

• If the participant’s reason is considered reasonable, only a quarter of the fee for the remaining period is collected.

• If a refund is applicable, it will be processed within 4 weeks after approval. Except for the registration fee, transfer charges, exchange rate differences, and bank deductions, the fee will be refunded.

4.7 If the withdrawal request is deemed excused under the terms of this agreement, the Student's final financial obligation will be limited to the payment for the months attended plus one additional installment. The month in which the withdrawal occurs will be counted as a fully attended month. 

4.8 The provisions for withdrawal from the course without excuse will also apply to those who do not pay the course fee within the time specified in the contract. 

4.9 If participants withdraw from the course, whether justified or unjustified, a certificate of participation covering the modules for which they have attended enough to qualify for a certificate will be issued. 

4.10 If Students fail to meet the minimum 70% attendance requirement for the course, their registration at the School will be terminated without a refund. Their defense will be taken and evaluated by the course management. If the Student is found to be at fault, the provisions for withdrawal from the course without excuse will apply. 

• GENERAL PROVISIONS

5.1 If fewer than 7 participants register for a course, the institution reserves the right to shorten or cancel the course. 

5.2 Participants in the courses must be at least 16 years old. Minors cannot register independently. The registration form must be signed by a parent or legal guardian. 

5.3 No classes will be held on holidays announced by our institution. No make-up classes will be provided for classes that fall on these days. The course schedule has been created taking these holidays into account.

5.4 The teacher may arrange different times with the mutual consent of all Students. 

5.5 In case of irregular attendance, the course fee will not be refunded, nor will the right to join subsequent groups arise. Whether they can be included in subsequent groups within the scope of specified reasonable excuses (as stated in the relevant section) may be evaluated by the institution.  

5.6 Photographs and videos taken during on-site or online courses may be used in the institution's promotional materials or published on the internet. If you do not agree, you must indicate this on your registration form before the course begins. 

5.7 Class cancellation: In case of class cancellations originating from the School (teacher illness, etc.), a make-up class or an extension of the course duration is mandatory. 

5.8 The School reserves the right to reschedule the program start date if the planned number of Students is too low. In this case, the School will inform the Student as soon as possible.  

5.9  If participation in courses that have already started drops to a level that does not cover costs, the School may postpone/terminate the course. In this case, the Students' fees will be refunded proportionally. 

5.10 The School reserves the right to terminate the Student's education if the Student's progress is insufficient, the tuition fee specified herein is not paid, or this Registration Agreement and the applicable Policies and Code of Conduct are not adhered to.

5.11 Change of Instruction Mode

1. In-person courses may be temporarily switched to an online format in the event of extraordinary or force majeure circumstances (such as a pandemic, epidemic, natural disaster, war, restrictions or prohibitions imposed by public authorities, or situations that prevent safe transportation or participation).
2. If the instructor responsible for conducting the course experiences changes, suspension, or termination of residence or work permit status in the respective country, the institution reserves the right to appoint another qualified instructor or to temporarily continue the course online. Such circumstances do not constitute a breach of contract and do not entitle the participant to any refund or termination rights.
3. In such cases, the course content, duration, and quality will be maintained as closely as possible. The transition to online instruction does not constitute a breach of contract and does not entitle the participant to any refund, withdrawal, or termination rights.
4. When conditions return to normal, the course will resume in its in-person format from where it left off. The participant acknowledges and accepts this possible change in advance.
5. The participant is responsible for providing and maintaining the necessary technical equipment (computer, internet connection, camera, microphone, etc.) required to attend online classes. Access credentials to the online platform will be provided by the institution and must be kept confidential. The participant agrees not to share these credentials with any third party.
6. The course content may vary depending on the instructors' preferences regarding the order of topics.

6.3 While the School believes there should be ample space for individual self-expression, it also believes that limitations must be imposed to maintain a safe and productive learning environment.

Additionally, Students must complete all assignments given by the instructor to maintain the flow and efficiency of the class.
