Cancellation is not possible from the 6th day before the beginning of the course.
For accommodation in host families the same conditions apply. However, cancellation is only possible up to the 14th day before the start of the course. After that date, the rent must be paid in full, unless another tenant can be found for the booked rental period. In case of accommodation in hostels, guesthouses or hotels, the terms and conditions of the respective institution apply.
Accommodation can only be booked with a language course taking place at the same time.
4.2 For visa confirmations the following applies: At least one course level (8 weeks) must be paid in advance. Cancellations due to non-issuance of a visa or any other justified important reason will be charged with € 100,00 fee, the rest will be refunded, but only if the original confirmation issued by ASL is returned or by presenting proof of rejection by the authority.
4.3 If a confirmation of the application was issued for submission to a German authority in Germany or abroad, refunds can only be made upon return of the original of this confirmation or a confirmation issued by the authority.
4.4 ASL reserves the right to combine a course with another comparable course, to postpone it, to hold it online or hybrid or to cancel it due to insufficient number of participants or due to circumstances beyond its control.
4.5 If the course does not take place for reasons beyond the control of the language school, the student may make up the same course at a later date. The course fee will not be refunded unless it is impossible for the student to repeat the course at a later date.
4.6 If the customer requests a rebooking (e.g. change of date), this is possible until 14 days before the course starts at the latest. After this date, rebooking is no longer possible. The first rebooking is free of charge, each further rebooking costs 50€.
5. refund
In case of cancellation, ASL will refund the amounts already paid, deducting the cancellation fee mentioned under 4. No refund claims can be made for services voluntarily not used by the participant or for services not used for reasons for which the participant is responsible.
6. course assignment
Assignment to a course level is based on a placement test or proof of existing German language skills.
7. accommodation

In this case, the amount already paid will be refunded without deduction. Further claims are excluded. Short-term under- or overstaffing of the respective courses must be reserved, no liability can be accepted for cancellations due to state holiday laws, occupational health and safety laws, etc. The continuity of the teaching staff employed can only be guaranteed within the framework of German labor laws or collective bargaining agreements; the right to change teaching staff at short notice is therefore reserved. ASL is only liable for damages caused to a participant by a legal representative of ASL or a vicarious agent if the latter is guilty of intent or gross negligence.
10. data protection
All data of participants will be stored only within ASL and only for the use necessary for the execution of the course. A transfer to third parties is excluded.
