General Terms and Conditions of Deutschkurse bei der Universität München e.V. (a registered, public-benefit organisation)
(hereinafter Deutschkurse) – updated 01 January 2018
1. A high school diploma recognized in Germany under the rules of the central office for studies abroad (“Zentralstelle für das Auslandsschulwesen”) is required for admittance to a Deutschkurse course.
2. A contract of education is valid only after Deutschkurse send a confirmation of the course registration. This occurs only after the course participant has paid the registration fee. A registration is considered a reservation as long as the registration fee has not cleared the bank account of Deutschkurse. The registration expires if the registration fee does not clear the account 14 days at the latest prior to the start of the course. The registration fee will be credited against the course fee.
3. By paying the registration fee the course participant accepts the General Terms and Conditions of Deutschkurse as binding.
4. Bank fees without exception are the responsibility of the course participants. In case of reimbursement, any fee for a credit card transaction will be deducted.
5. Registrations generally are possible only for the entire course, however, Deutschkurse can make exceptions to allow partial attendance in reasonable cases. For a course lasting two months the participant has to attend a minimum of half of the course. If a participant attends a minimum part of a course as described in this rule, Deutschkurse will increase the fee for the course proportionately. (The rates are listed in the current price list.)
6. Students who are enrolled at the following universities benefit from a reduction for courses listed as “reduced” in the current price list: Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Technische Universität München, Hochschule für Politik, Akademie der Bildenden Künste, Hochschule für Musik, Hochschule München, Universität der Bundeswehr München, Hochschule für Philosophie München, Technische Universität Weihenstephan.
7. Students are placed in the appropriate course level on the basis of an entry-level test which normally takes place two to four weeks prior to the start of the course. Certificates of attendance at other language schools cannot replace the test. Students have no right to attend a course that is a higher level than the one they are placed in by their test results.
8. Individual preferences are considered to the extent possible when participants are assigned to morning or afternoon courses, however, there is no right to a course at a specific time of day. If Deutschkurse are unable to respect such a wish, this is not accepted as a reason for reimbursement of the fees.
9. Courses take place at the following locations: Agnesstraße 27, Josephsplatz, St.-Martin-Straße 76, rooms of the LMU München. Locations cannot be chosen individually, but are
assigned by the Deutschkurse.

In case of a withdrawal, Deutschkurse will reimburse the subscription for the course, upon demand, and deduct the registration fee. This also applies to revocation. Withdrawal or cancellation is not possible within the five business days before start of the course and during the period of time the course takes place (between the first and the last day of the course). There is no right to cancellation according to § 627 BGB (“Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch,” the German Civil Code; and § 627 discusses the extraordinary notice of cancellation of superior services). The right to cancel without notice due to important reasons remains unaffected.
14. Withdrawal of the DSH examination is possible only until the end of the application period. In case of such a withdrawal, Deutschkurse will retain the registration fee. (The rates are listed in the current price list.) In case of a withdrawal after the end of the application period, Deutschkurse will retain the entire examination fee. There is no right to cancellation according to § 627 BGB. The right to cancel without notice due to important reasons remains unaffected.
15. Cancellations and withdrawals must be submitted in writing.
16. If Deutschkurse have issued a confirmation of registration for submission to a German authority, any fee can solely be reimbursed after Deutschkurse have retrieved the original issue of this confirmation.
17. Deutschkurse reserve the right to merge comparable courses, to delay or to cancel a course if there is an insufficient number of participants or if circumstances arise for which Deutschkurse are not responsible. In case of cancellation the participant may switch to another course of his choice offered by Deutschkurse or the participant may withdraw from the contract. In case of such a withdrawal the participant is refunded any paid fees, however the participant cannot assert further claims, in particular compensation for damages.
18. Unless otherwise specified in these General Terms and Conditions, including the subsequent regulations, Deutschkurse are liable in case of breach of contractual and non-contractual obligations according to the applicable regulations. Regardless of the legal reason, Deutschkurse are liable for damages in the event of wilful intent and gross negligence. In the event of simple negligence, Deutschkurse are liable only
a) for damages resulting from an injury of life, body or health,
b) for damages resulting from the breach of a fundamental contractual obligation (contractual obligation which is essential for the proper fulfillment of the contract and the other party typically, visibly and justifiably relies on); in this case the scope of liability is limited to the scope of case which will be typically foreseen.
