Registration

is legally binding. Registration applies for one course only, and is terminated at the end of the course, with the exception of Aqua-Fit courses.

Registration for Aqua-Fit courses (Aqua-Fit®, Aquarobic, Aqua-Jogging) automatically extends for a further period until a formal cancellation is received.

It is possible to cancel registration for Aqua-Fit on 30 June and 31 December, with the proviso that a 4-week notice period is adhered to.

Course

A course takes place with a minimum of 3 participants. We reserve the right to change course times, combine courses, change course locations for compelling reasons or cancel courses.

Confirmation and invoice

Cancellation Before Course Start

Cancellations must be made in writing. A cancellation up to 8 days before the course start is free of charge. For cancellations within 7 days before the course start, SSK charges a processing fee of CHF 50.00.

Cancellation After Course Start

Cancellations must be made in writing. If the cancellation is made by the third lesson of the course, SSK charges for the lessons already held and a processing fee of CHF 50.00.
For cancellations after the first three lessons, the full course fee remains payable.

Exlusion
