Please notify us immediately of any corrections necessary to your registration.

CANCELLATIONS: We reserve the right to defer or cancel any course if there are insufficient bookings, or conditions arise, which are beyond our control.

Cancellations by the registrant must be received in writing by e-mail to germantrip@rotaract.de no later than three months prior to the trip.

Registrations are transferable and registrants may substitute another person by submitting a written request in the name of the new registrant. The final decision is made by RoGer.

1) Cancellation before three months prior to the trip: Should you or your substitute be unable to attend, and provided you have informed us by email, we will refund your registration fee (less any bank charges incurred by either party).

2) Cancellation after three months until two months prior to the trip: If you would like to cancel we would appreciate your notification by email, so that others could avail of your seat. 10% charges of the registration fee are applicable to all cancellations in this period of time (plus any bank charges incurred by either party).

3) Cancellation after two months prior to the trip: All cancellations after two months prior to the trip are non-refundable.
