Cancellation is possible up to 48 hours before the start of the booked Date.

If cancellation occurs less than 48 hours before the start or the participant does not appear, the entitlement expires without replacement.
For Date-Deals, this regulation applies separately to each individual Date.

No further claims exist.

The Provider may exclude participants with immediate effect from all future Dates if their behavior towards other participants or the Provider is considered inappropriate, boundary-crossing, disrespectful, aggressive, or disruptive.

The assessment is made at the Provider’s reasonable discretion.
In such cases, no refund will be granted.
