GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF MIS (AGB)

A. General Part

§ 1 Scope of Application

(1) These General Terms and Conditions apply to all contractual relationships between Munich International School e.V. (hereinafter referred to as "School") and the parents or legal guardians (hereinafter referred to as "Parents/Legal Guardians"). Any reference to the “School Contract” also includes the “Early Childhood (EC) Contract”.

(2) Any deviating or conflicting terms and conditions of the Parents/Legal Guardians are expressly rejected and shall not become part of the contract unless MIS has expressly agreed to their applicability in writing.

(3) Individual agreements between the Parties shall take precedence over these General Terms and Conditions.

(4) Munich International School e.V. is a registered association (“eingetragener Verein”) under German law. The Articles of Association can be viewed and accessed at any time at www.mis-munich.de/agb.

(5) In addition to these General Terms and Conditions, the applicable school regulations, the School's Child Protection Policy and other guidelines/policies issued by the School Leadership and made available to Parents/Legal Guardians, form an integral and legally binding part of the contractual relationship. By concluding the contract, the Parents/Legal Guardians confirm that they have taken note of these essential documents and acknowledge their binding nature for the proper functioning of the school community. These regulations are essential for maintaining safe, respectful, and orderly operations at the School.

§ 2 Contracting Parties and Duty to Provide Information

(1) Contracts are concluded between the School, legally represented by the Board of Directors (BoD), and the Parents/Legal Guardians of the respective student.

(2) The School will provide the Parents/Legal Guardians with a contract ("Offer”) as part of the contract initiation process. By signing the School Contract, the Parents/Legal Guardians accept the General Terms and Conditions contained in the Offer ("Acceptance"), and the Contract becomes legally effective. Offers may be issued and sent by MIS in written form, as well as in text form, or electronically. Text form follows § 126b BGB.

(3) The Parents/Legal Guardians, as contractual partners, are required to provide truthful, accurate and complete information whenever entering data or completing required fields, including during re-enrollment or when other data requests are made by MIS. The Parents/Legal Guardians must inform MIS immediately of any changes that affect or may affect the school relationship without requiring a separate request from MIS. This applies in particular to custody arrangements, street addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, emergency contact information and any changes to where a student and/or the Parents/Legal Guardians are living.

(4) Parents/Legal Guardians and students commit to comply with:

a. the current school regulations

b. the rules of conduct and safety

c. all other binding rules

d. ensuring that children exit vehicles safely when arriving by private car at the designated drop-off areas within the MIS car park. Stopping or parking to let children out of a car on the state road (Buchhofstraße/Olympiastraße) is prohibited and can lead to the termination of the School Contract in the event of repeated violations.

§ 3 Subject Matter of the Contract/Lessons

(1) Within the framework of the current School Contract, MIS provides educational instructions based on a pre-defined curriculum, drawing in particular on the International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes (PYP, MYP, DP) of the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO), Geneva. MIS has the educational freedom as a private school to define educational standards and design lessons, as it is a state-approved substitute school (“genehmigte Ersatzschule”) in Grades 1 to 9 and a supplementary school (“angezeigte Ergänzungsschule”) in Grades 10 to 12. There is no correlation between the MIS curriculum and the state schools; however, in Grades 1 to 9, MIS must demonstrate curricular equivalence (“Gleichwertigkeit”) as required for state-approved substitute schools under Bavarian school law. MIS retains full discretion over student placement, grouping, teacher assignment, learning support, language/programme requirements, scheduling and organisation of teaching/learning, unless mandatory law provides otherwise.

(2) As an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, MIS provides most lessons in English. English is the general language of instruction and the official school language.

(3) MIS educates children/students from the age of 4 to 18 as follows: Early Childhood (ages 4–6), Junior School in Grades 1 to 4 (ages 6–10), Middle School in Grades 5 to 8 (ages 10–14) and Senior School in Grades 9 to 12 (from age 14 years onwards).

(4) It is the sole responsibility of the Parents/Legal Guardians to verify whether the qualifications offered at MIS will be recognised for the student's intended higher-education or vocational requirements (e.g., school/university admissions criteria, etc.).

§ 4 Compulsory Schooling and School Hours

(1) MIS operates as a state-approved substitute or supplementary school. By attending MIS, school-age children fulfil their compulsory schooling within the meaning of Articles 35 and 36 BayEUG.

(2) The Parents/Legal Guardians must ensure that the student arrives on time for class. Appointments that are not related to compulsory schooling must be attended outside of school hours.

(3) The State of Bavaria’s public holiday regulations apply. MIS reserves the right to declare further days to be closing days in deviation from the holiday regulations. School days, holiday periods, celebrations and closing days are made available to the Parents/Legal Guardians in the form of the “Parental Calendar”, which can be accessed at any time under https://www.mis-munich.de/calendars.

(4) In the case of force majeure or other exceptional circumstances, MIS is entitled to replace all lessons offered in part or in full with video conferences. MIS is committed to using appropriate platforms and providers and to complying with all data protection obligations. The Parents/Legal Guardians should be aware that the recording and/or disclosure of such video conferences is not permitted.

(5) School hours are determined by the individual curriculum or the timetable of the individual student, based on grade level, and are communicated separately to the Parents/Legal Guardians.

§ 5 Care and Supervision

(1) MIS offers an optional, full-day programme for Grades 1–4 (“Offene Ganztagsschule”) and a mandatory full-day programme for Grades 5–10 (“gebundener Ganztag”).

(2) MIS’s duty of supervision covers the official lesson times and breaks. It usually starts 15 minutes before the first lesson and ends 15 minutes after the last lesson.

(3) Outside of these times and on the way to and from school, the duty of supervision is with the Parents/Legal Guardians, unless otherwise specified in Part B of these Terms and Conditions. If students participate in school events off campus (e.g., excursions), the instructions given by the teachers on site shall apply.

§ 6 School Attendance, Illness, Leave of Absence

(1) In the event of student illness, MIS must be notified immediately, but no later than before the start of lessons on the first day of absence. If the illness lasts longer than three days of lessons, MIS may require the submission of a doctor’s note.

(2) A leave of absence from classes is only possible in exceptional cases and must be requested in advance by completing a Student Absence Request Form and submitting it to the relevant school office. These absences will be reflected on the student's report cards as either an excused or unexcused absence and this is determined by the principal, based on the reason for the absence.

(3) Travel or vacation dates planned by the Parents/Legal Guardians that fall outside of the official school holidays/breaks do not constitute grounds for a leave of absence.

§ 7 Fees, Payment Options, Delayed Payment

(1) The Parents/Legal Guardians commit to paying the amounts specified in the applicable Fee Schedule. These include, but are not limited to, the Application Fee, the Entrance Fee, the Registration Fee, the Re-Enrollment Fee, the Technology Fee and the Annual Tuition Fee, as well as optional fees which are due for any MIS additional offerings.

(2) The amount of the fees is determined based on MIS’s annual financial viability assessment. The current Fee Schedule is made available by MIS at www.mis-munich.de/agb and is an integral part of the School Contract.

(3) The Parents/Legal Guardians are required to review the Fee Schedule, provided in paragraph 2, and inform themselves about the fees incurred for each student, their amounts and the reason for collection. In particular, the Parents/Legal Guardians are obliged to inform themselves about the options offered by MIS regarding reductions or the fees referred to in paragraph 1. MIS offers sibling reductions, a School Fee Reduction Programme (“SFRP”) and a Special Payment Plan (“SPP”) within the framework of the above-mentioned Fee Schedule.

(4) Eligibility for a school fee reduction or a special payment plan (for the fees to be paid in instalments) only exists if the Parents/Legal Guardians fulfil all of the requirements outlined under the respective options. The overview of reductions also determines the type of application or the necessary process.

(5) If the Parents/Legal Guardians do not meet the requirements for SFRP and/or SPP, MIS is not obliged to offer reductions or alternative payment methods. The regular payment obligations outlined in the Fee Schedule will apply.

(6) Holidays, school closure dates and a student’s absence from class do not affect the fees owed.

(7) The Parents/Legal Guardians shall be jointly and severally liable for all obligations arising from the School Contract, in particular with regard to fees.

(8) In accordance with the School Contract, the Parents/Legal Guardians shall be liable for the full payment of the fees even if a third party has agreed to cover these costs. It is the responsibility of the Parents/Legal Guardians to inform the third party about when payments are due and the consequences of a delay in payment.

(9) If the Parents/Legal Guardians are in default with the payment of fees in accordance with § 286 BGB, MIS is entitled to suspend its service with immediate effect and, in particular, to exclude students from lessons (after prior written notice) until the Parents/Legal Guardians have fully fulfilled their payment obligations.

§ 8 Admission, OpenApply

(1) The purpose of the admissions process at MIS is to get to know the student and to ensure that the School’s educational offering meets the needs of the students.

(2) The first step in the admissions process at MIS is to complete the online application. MIS uses an application portal, OpenApply, for this purpose: https://mismunich.openapply.eu/

(3) Once the applicant has submitted the online application form and paid the application fee, the system creates an OpenApply account for the student where the individual checklist items/required documents can be accessed.

(4) The Parents/Legal Guardians can log into their account at any time and access this checklist via the OpenApply portal. These documents will be used to support the student’s application.

(5) MIS can request the submission of further documents via the OpenApply portal. The Parents/Legal Guardians are therefore required to regularly check the information in the OpenApply portal for completeness and accuracy, especially during the admission, re-admission and re-enrollment processes, or if otherwise requested to do so by the School.

(6) Once all documents have been submitted, MIS will confirm that the application is complete and will forward it to the responsible principal for review. After reviewing the application, MIS will inform the Parents/Legal Guardians whether the student has been accepted, placed on the waiting list or declined. The review of the application usually takes 10 to 15 working days.

(7) Submitting an application does not guarantee a place, or that a contract will be offered or concluded. MIS is not required to give reasons should an application be declined.

§ 9 Contract Duration and Termination

(1) The duration of the contract and the termination provisions are set forth in the individual contract between the School and the Parents/Legal Guardians. Unless otherwise stated, the contract duration and termination provisions from the individual School Contract shall take precedence over those from these General Terms and Conditions.

(2) Apart from the provisions of paragraph 1, a School Contract ends without the need for termination if MIS ceases to operate the school for reasons beyond its control or if its permission to operate as a supplementary or substitute school is revoked.

(3) Unless otherwise stipulated in the individual contract, a School Contract can be terminated by the Parents/Legal Guardians with a notice period of three months before the end of the first half of the school year (31.12.) or to the end of the school year (31.07.). Written notice must be submitted by 30.09. or 30.04. respectively.

(4) In the event of a short-notice professional relocation of one or both of the Parents/Legal Guardians, the Parents/Legal Guardians may terminate the school relationship with one month’s notice effective on 31 July and 31 December, respectively. The Parents/Legal Guardians shall submit proof of the necessity of the relocation to the School. In the event of such a premature ordinary termination of the School Contract for which either the child or the Parents/Legal Guardians are responsible, the Parents/Legal Guardians are obligated to bear any costs incurred until the end of the term of the contract.

(5) Ordinary termination before the start of the respective school year is not possible.

(6) Both parties are entitled to terminate contracts extraordinarily with good reason. MIS is entitled to combine termination without notice with the simultaneous exclusion of the student from lessons. On the part of MIS, an important reason could be one of the following cases:

a. repeated and/or serious misconduct in class;

b. repeated and/or serious violations of the school rules;

c. default of payment by the Parents/Legal Guardians;

d. repeated and/or serious violations of the School Contract or Early Childhood (EC) Contract and/or these Terms and Conditions.

(7) The relocation or professional transfer of one or more Parents/Guardians does not entitle the holder to terminate without notice in accordance with the preceding paragraphs without the addition of other, weighty reasons.

(8) In the event of an extraordinary termination for which the student and/or the School is responsible, the Parents/Guardians remain obliged to pay all fees incurred until the end of the contract.

(9) Any termination must be communicated by both Parents/Legal Guardians in text form (e.g., online form (during re-enrollment), email or written letter). In the event of a contract termination, the Parents/Guardians also commit to completing and submitting the MIS “Withdrawal Form” This can be found at www.mis-munich.de/agb.

§ 10 Liability and Insurance

(1) MIS is only liable for damages arising in connection with the operation of the School in the event of intent or gross negligence on the part of its legal representatives or vicarious agents. This limitation of liability does not apply to damages resulting from injury to life, limb or health; in this case, the School authority is liable even in the event of slight negligence.

(2) In the event of a slightly negligent breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations), liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract.

(3) MIS assumes no liability for loss or damage to items and valuables (especially those left in the cloakroom), such as electronic devices or bicycles, that are not stored in the storage locations provided for this purpose (e.g., lockable locker, safe, etc.), unless gross negligence or intent can be attributed to MIS. Private insurance is recommended. The Parents/Legal Guardians are liable for any damage that the student causes to the property of the School or the sponsoring association in accordance with the statutory provisions.

(4) Students are insured against accidents during school events within the framework of the legal provisions.

§ 11 Data Protection

(1) The collection, processing and use of personal data of the student or the Parents/Legal Guardians is carried out exclusively in accordance with the regulations of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Further details are regulated by MIS’s privacy policy, which is permanently available at https://www.mis-munich.de/data-protection-policy.

§ 12 Right of Withdrawal (14-Day Cooling-Off Period)

The Parent(s)/Guardian(s) have the right to withdraw from a contract within fourteen (14) days of signing, without giving any reason. To exercise the right of withdrawal, written notice must be provided to the School within the withdrawal period. Upon valid withdrawal, this Contract shall be deemed void.

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform the School of your decision to withdraw from this contract by means of an unequivocal statement (e.g., a registered letter sent by post or an e-mail) within the fourteen (14) day withdrawal period by writing to:

(2) The Parents/Legal Guardians acknowledge the School’s use of third‑party educational platforms (e.g., Microsoft 365, ISAMS, OpenApply, TODDLE, testing tools, etc.) with appropriate safeguards for international transfers (if any).

(3) The Parents/Legal Guardians must keep data accurate and up to date (e.g., custody, contact details, residence).

B. Special Contractual Conditions for the After School Care Programme

§ 1 Scope of Application

(1) These special contractual conditions regulate the voluntary use of afternoon care, hereinafter referred to as the After School Care Programme, and supplement the General Terms and Conditions from Part A. The general provisions of the main contract, in particular on the topics of liability, payment terms and conduct, also apply without restriction during the hours of After School Care.

(2) The general provisions of Part A, in particular the provisions on payment terms, default of payment, liability and data protection, shall apply mutatis mutandis to the After School Care Programme unless deviating or more specific agreements are made in this Part B.

§ 2 Combinations with Additional Offers / Bus Transport

(1) Students who are enrolled in the After School Care Programme are also eligible to participate in the School’s general Student Life Programme. The organisation and supervision are based on the respective conditions of these additional offers.

(2) For the journey home after the end of After School Care, the late school bus service can be used, which departs at 4:15 p.m. as scheduled. Use of this bus transport requires a separate School Bus Contract and additional bus fees are incurred in accordance with the provisions of Part C and the valid bus fee schedule.

§ 3 Registration, Fees, Termination

(1) Registration for the After School Care Programme is concluded by written contract and is binding for the duration of a full school year. The fees incurred for participation can be found in the current Fee Schedule and will be invoiced in the same way as the school fees. There will be no pro-rata refund of fees in the event of illness or other non-participation of the student on individual days.

§ 4 End of the Duty of Supervision

(1) The duty of supervision of school staff within the framework of the After School Care Programme ends, as far as legally permissible, with the official end of After School Care. The Parents/Legal Guardians are fully responsible for ensuring that the student is either picked up at this time, reaches the later school bus in time, or has been given permission to make their way home independently.

(2) In the event of repeated late pick-ups by the Parents/Legal Guardians, the School reserves the right to charge additional childcare costs or to terminate the After School Care Contract without notice for good cause, and after having received a warning.

C. Special Contractual Conditions for Bus Transport at MIS

§ 1 Scope of Application

(1) These special terms and conditions supplement the General Terms and Conditions of Contract (Part A) for all students who use the School’s own bus transportation service or those contracted by MIS.

(2) The general provisions of Part A, in particular the provisions on payment terms, default of payment, liability and data protection, shall apply mutatis mutandis to bus transport, unless deviating or more specific agreements are made in this Part C.

§ 2 Registration / Capacity

(1) Registration for the use of bus transport is generally made for one entire school year by filling out and signing the corresponding School Bus Contract. A legal entitlement to a seat on a bus exists only within the framework of the available capacities of the commissioned bus company.

(2) Places are usually allocated in the order of registration, although students who live far away or are absolutely dependent on the bus for transportation to school can be given preferential treatment at the discretion of the school administration. The School Bus Contract is not automatically renewed and must be concluded anew by the Parents/Legal Guardians for each new school year in due time.

§ 3 Route Planning / Stops

(1) The determination of the bus routes, the individual stops as well as the departure and arrival times are the sole responsibility of MIS in close consultation with the operating bus company. There is expressly no legal entitlement to a specific route, a route without detours, a stop in the immediate vicinity of the place of residence or door-to-door transport.

(2) MIS reserves the right to adjust routes, stops and travel times during the current school year for organisational reasons, due to changes in the number of registrations or due to changed traffic conditions. The Parents/Legal Guardians will be informed of such changes in advance.

§ 4 Fees and Payment Methods

(1) The costs for the use of the school bus are based on the individual contractual agreement for bus transport, which in turn applies separately to the general Fee Schedule. The payment of the bus fees is regulated in the Fee Schedule.

(2) A pro-rata refund or reduction of the bus fees in the event of non-use by the student is excluded. This applies in particular during times of illness, a leave of absence, participation in class trips or in the event of a temporary suspension of bus services due to weather conditions for safety reasons (e.g., black ice, storm warning).

§ 5 Rules of Conduct and Safety

(1) The safety of all passengers is the top priority during school bus transport. The Parents/Legal Guardians will ensure that the instructions of the drivers and other accompanying persons are followed. During the entire journey, all passengers are strictly required to wear seat belts, provided that the buses are equipped with seat belts.

(2) Eating and drinking on the bus is prohibited to ensure cleanliness and to avoid hazards when a bus is braking. Noise, walking around while the bus is in motion, as well as any behaviour that could distract the driver or endanger fellow passengers, constitute a serious violation of the bus transportation guidelines.

§ 6 Measures in the Event of Misconduct

(1) In the event of violations of the code of conduct or in the event of a threat to safety, MIS may take appropriate measures. These range from a formal written warning to the Parents/Legal Guardians, to the student being assigned a fixed seat, or to the temporary or permanent exclusion of a student from bus transport.

(2) In the event of permanent exclusion due to repeated or serious misconduct (e.g., vandalism or physical violence), the obligation to pay the bus fees for the current school semester remains in place. If a student causes intentional or negligent damage to property on or in the bus, the Parents/Legal Guardians are liable in accordance with the statutory provisions.

§ 7 Liability and Supervision

(1) The School’s duty of supervision, as well as the commissioned bus staff’s duty, is limited exclusively to the actual bus travel time and the boarding and exiting of the bus at school. The Parents/Legal Guardians are fully responsible for supervision of the student from the student’s starting point to the bus stop, during the time that a student is waiting for the bus and after the student gets off the bus at the home stop.

(2) The Parents/Legal Guardians must ensure that younger students arrive at their bus stop on time and that they are met there upon their return. The School assumes no liability for traffic-related or weather-related delays of the bus and any resulting consequential costs or inconveniences.

D. Special Terms and Conditions for the Student Life Programme (SLP)

§ 1 Scope of Application

(1) These special terms and conditions govern voluntary participation in the School’s Student Life Programme. Since the organisation, duration and billing of these extracurricular activities differ significantly from regular school operations, the provisions of this Part D take precedence over the General Terms and Conditions of Contract from Part A in the event of substantive contradictions.

(2) This applies in particular to different notice periods, payment terms and liability regulations that apply specifically to the SLP. In all points not expressly regulated in this Part D, the provisions of Part A continue to apply without restriction.

§ 2 Organisation, Registration, Allocation of Places

(1) The programme is offered in three independent seasons per school year, typically spanning ten weeks each in the fall, winter and spring. Parents/Legal Guardians must submit booking requests for the desired activities by the deadline via the School’s designated online system (SchoolsBuddy). The exact booking periods will be announced in advance via the School’s internal communication channels.

(2) The mere submission of a booking request does not create a legal entitlement to a place in the relevant activity. Places will be allocated by the programme management after the request phase has been completed based on the available capacities and the preferences expressed. The Parents/Legal Guardians receive a binding automated confirmation or rejection for each requested activity via the system. Parents/Legal Guardians are required to check these confirmations carefully to ensure that students only attend activities for which they have been admitted.

§ 3 Fees, Billing, Late Payment

(1) The fees incurred for each activity can be found in the applicable SLP fee schedule on the School’s website and in the booking system. With the formal allocation of a place, the course fee is legally due. The actual charging and debiting via the online system usually takes place in the second half of the respective season.

(2) If the fees for a current or past season have not been paid in full by the time the next request window opens, the student will be blocked by the system for further requests in subsequent seasons until all outstanding claims have been settled.

§ 4 Withdrawal, Refund of Fees

(1) The fees for the programme are calculated as fixed costs. A partial or full refund or reduction of the fees is generally excluded. This applies without exception to the late start of an ongoing activity, the premature termination by the student and to missed individual activity sessions.

(2) A fee-free withdrawal from an allocated activity is only possible in the early phase of the season. The withdrawal request must be made in writing by e-mail to the programme management and should ideally contain a short explanation. If this cancellation is received before the start of the third week of the activity (deadline is the respective Monday at 09:05 a.m.), the activity fee will be cancelled. For cancellations received later, the full fee will be charged and will not be refunded.

§ 5 Cancellation of Activities

(1) The School reserves the right to cancel activities for the entire season if the number of participants is too low. Likewise, individual weekly activity sessions can be cancelled at short notice for compelling reasons, such as unexpected staff illness or extreme weather conditions. Parents/Legal Guardians will be informed of absences as early as possible. The programme does not take place on official school-free days, public holidays, scheduled half-days, days with early end of classes and on school-internal training days.

(2) In case of bad weather, outdoor activities will be replaced by alternative indoor programmes where possible. A complete cancellation due to weather conditions usually only takes place if the local weather conditions make it necessary to evacuate the school grounds. The Parents/Legal Guardians must ensure that the students are always equipped with weather-appropriate clothing for outdoor activities.

§ 6 Supervision and Pick-up

(1) The supervision duty of the activity leaders is limited exclusively to the times of the respective activity shown in the system. If a student does not attend a booked activity session due to illness or other reasons, the SLP office must be informed in advance. In the case of students in the Junior School, the regular class teacher must also be informed.

(2) Junior School students who do not use the regular late school bus after the activity must be picked up at the designated collection point immediately after the activity ends. If the Parents/Legal Guardians are unable to ensure on-time pickup, the student will not be allowed to participate in the programme. In the event of an unforeseen delay, Parents/Legal Guardians are obliged to notify the SLP office immediately by telephone and e-mail.

§ 7 Medical Emergencies, Care

(1) Activity leaders will take all reasonable measures to ensure a safe environment for participants. If an accident occurs during an activity, the statutory accident protection provided by the Bavarian State Accident Insurance Fund, which exists for students at Bavarian schools, usually applies. Parents/Legal Guardians are obliged to report accidents immediately to the school nurse in order to initiate the appropriate claims settlement.

(2) If immediate help is required in the event of a medical incident, the staff is entitled and obliged to take all necessary steps to ensure the child's best interests. This expressly includes the request of rescue/paramedic services as well as the transport of the student to a hospital by external rescue forces even if the Parents/Legal Guardians cannot be reached immediately by telephone in such an emergency situation.

§ 8 Codes of Conduct

(1) The extracurricular programme is a voluntary offer, the use of which requires compliance with the highest standards of behaviour. The general rules of conduct in the school rules as well as the age-specific guidelines of the respective school levels apply without restriction to participation.

(2) If a student significantly disrupts the activity through inappropriate behaviour or impairs the well-being of other participants, the incident will be documented by the programme management. The School reserves the right, after consultation with the Parents/Legal Guardians, to temporarily or permanently exclude the student from further participation in the programme in the event of repeated or serious violations.

§ 9 Student Life / ISST Trips

For all ISST championships and SLP school trips outside Germany which incur additional fees:

(1) The decision regarding nomination and eligibility of a student shall be made by the coach/activity leader no later than 14 days before the start of the tournament trip. Once Parents/Legal Guardians have consented via SchoolsBuddy and the student has been selected to participate by the coach/activity leader, the student will be registered as a participant on the trip, and the trip participation fee becomes due.

(2) If a trip or tournament is cancelled, registration and payment of the fee shall not constitute a claim to participation.

(3) If a student does not attend despite selection and parental/guardian consent, no refund shall be granted. It is therefore recommended to obtain cancellation insurance. If another student fills the place at short notice, a refund may be issued to the extent that the fee can be transferred to the replacement student. Any administrative or change fees (e.g., flight change fees) may be deducted.
