For courses lasting 3 months or more, the reduced fees for the first three months must be sent before the beginning of the course. The remaining fees can be paid in monthly installments.
   
   
3. Cancellation of Enrollment
   Cancellation can be made either by fax, telephone, registered mail, or e-mail. In the case of a cancellation made up to 4 weeks before a course starts, a fee of Euro 50.- is payable, up to 14 days before a course starts, Euro 200.-, and thereafter Euro 500.- are payable. In case of non-appearance without previous cancellation, a one month's fee is forfeited. The participant obtains the right to prove that in a concrete case the adequate cancellation fee would be considerably lower than the generalized amount.
   
   
4. Curtailment of a Course
   A student must give at least 4 weeks notice of the intention to curtail his/her course. However, a long term course, i. e. a course to which reduced course fees are applicable, cannot be curtailed before the end of the first three months.
   
   
5. Absence at Commencement of, or during, a Course
   In case of late entry or absence during a course, no refund of fees will be granted. The obligation to pay is not revoked by a delay in payment. Absence may not be made up for by extending the course.
