Deviating conditions of the participant are generally not accepted by the USI - unless the USI has expressly agreed to their validity in writing. By enrolling, the participant accepts the applicable General Terms and Conditions and undertakes to comply with these and the organisational instructions of the USI.

§ 4 Cancellation / Rebooking
Semester courses: Cancellation / rebooking can be made by contacting the USI ( usi(at)unileoben.ac.at ) until Fr. 15th of  march 2024. The cancellation fee is € 3,00 per cancelled or exchanged course. After the cancellation deadline, cancellation or refund of the course fee is not possible.

Camps & Specials:
Cancellations can be made by contacting the USI up to three weeks before the registration deadline for each event. The cancellation fee is € 3,00 per cancelled course.
In case of cancellation after the cancellation deadline, the USI reserves the right to use the course fee or deposit as a cancellation fee (accommodation, material costs, personnel costs).
Rebooking of blocked courses (camps) is not possible. In exceptional cases (proof of accident, long-term injury or illness - medical certificate), cancellation is possible even after the cancellation deadline.

§ 5 Course Cancellations / Course Cancellation
In the event of cancellations of scheduled course dates for semester courses in excess of 30%, the course fee will be refunded on a pro rata basis as an online credit note. In the case of a (re)transfer or cash payment, the aliquot course fee will be refunded with the retention of an organisation fee.

Cancellations of up to 30% of scheduled course dates will not result in a pro rata refund of the course fee.

In case of a total cancellation, e.g. due to insufficient enrolment, the full course fee will be refunded - only in the respective semester - and the course participants will be informed of this cancellation immediately by email.
If a course is changed from face-to-face to online/alternative mode or vice versa during the current semester, there is NO entitlement to an (aliquot) refund of the course fee or course cancellation.
Cancellations or aliquot refunds cannot be granted in the event of a change in the participation requirements due to legal or official regulations, changed requirements of the Rectorate or if course units are missed due to quarantine orders.

The USI would like to offer all its users the most attractive overall offer possible in the direction of sport, exercise and health. The protection of the privacy of each individual and the protection of personal data are of paramount importance.

By enrolling in a USI course or registering for an academic championship (LAM/STAM/UAM), the participant agrees that the data provided may be used, stored and processed by the USI for the purposes of accounting, registration of participants, notification of any urgent matters (scheduling, course cancellations/postponements, answering questions, etc.) and the preparation of various competition reports and results lists.

The respective course instructor(s) will receive the data of their course participants for any information concerning their USI course. The data will not be passed on to third parties. They are only processed and stored for as long as is necessary for the respective purpose. The stored personal data can be deleted upon request. Further use of the USI offer is no longer possible after deletion of the personal data.

They will be used for the promotion and reporting of the University Sports Institute (print and online). The consent remains valid without time limit, but can be withdrawn or restricted at any time. The withdrawal applies to all future publications, but not to those already made. Further information on data protection at Montanuniversität can be found at: dsb.unileoben.ac.at.
