Terms & Conditions

General Terms and Conditions for Gymnasium Preparation Courses and Tutoring at LerneGerne

By registering (electronically, via email, or by phone), you acknowledge and accept the General Terms and Conditions (GTC) of “Lerne Gerne GmbH.”

Conclusion of Contract

By submitting an electronic registration (via the registration form on our website), you commit your child to participating in the course and paying the agreed course fees. Registration via the registration form constitutes a legally binding offer on your part. A contract is concluded on our part as soon as you receive a definitive course confirmation from us via email. The parties to the contract are, on the one hand, Lerne Gerne GmbH, and on the other hand, the parent or legal guardian who registers the child for the course (contract in favor of a third party).

Course Registration

A registration is only valid after a course confirmation has been sent by us via email. If you do not receive a response from us after electronic registration via the registration form, it is your responsibility to contact us again. We strive to respond as quickly as possible. There is no entitlement to course participation.

  • Lessons can be canceled free of charge up to 24 hours before the appointment.

Cancellation Due to Insufficient Participants

We reserve the right to cancel Gymnasium preparation courses up to 28 days before the start date due to an insufficient number of participants (fewer than three children per course). In this case, no course fees will be charged, and any paid course fees will be fully refunded. Alternatively, we will offer other LerneGerne courses or customized private settings.

Termination by Us

We reserve the right to terminate the contract at any time without notice and exclude your child from the course if disruptive behavior significantly affects the instructor, the course atmosphere, or other students. In such a case, there is no entitlement to a refund of course fees.

Absences from Individual Course Days

Regular attendance is crucial for the child’s success. Absences do not entitle you to a reduction in course fees.

Cancellation Due to Instructor Illness

If an instructor is temporarily unavailable due to illness, we will arrange a suitable substitute or reschedule the course. If necessary, lessons will be made up online.

Cancellation Due to Force Majeure or Governmental Order

If a course cannot be conducted in person due to force majeure or a governmental order, it will be continued online. There is no entitlement to a refund or compensation.

Liability Disclaimer

Lessons are conducted to the best of our knowledge and belief. However, we do not guarantee academic success. Lerne Gerne GmbH assumes no liability or responsibility for the academic success of participants.

Jurisdiction and Applicable Law

Swiss law applies. The place of jurisdiction is Zurich.

These GTC come into effect on 01.02.2025.
