Before the start of the lesson, the contracting party must arrange for the ski equipment (especially ski binding) to be checked by a specialist company. The ski school Scheffau groups the ski courses. If the downgrading of the participant is necessary, the contractual partner must follow this decision.

7. Withdrawal
For private courses, it is possible to withdraw from the contract by 5:00 p.m. the previous day at the latest without incurring a cancellation fee. However, if the cancellation is only made at a later date, the Scheffau ski school is entitled to request the agreed tariff in the amount of a full daily rate. With regard to group courses, payments already made can only be reimbursed in the event of an accident, upon presentation of the original receipt (see reverse of the course card) and with a medical certificate from a local doctor. The amount to be reimbursed is recalculated based on the services actually provided for that period. This will reduce the total amount, but higher daily rates may be charged. If you cancel during an ongoing service or if you do not show up on the agreed date, there will be no refund. If the weather conditions do not guarantee the performance of the service for safety reasons, the Scheffau ski school reserves the right to postpone or cancel the service. The Scheffau ski school is only obliged to reimburse the pro rata fee in the event of a cancellation; the contractual partner is not entitled to any further claims.
