§ 4 Cancellation / Non-appearance
If the course is cancelled by the participant, regardless time and motive, but in particular because it turns out that the participant is unfit for the course or exceeds the permissible maximum weight, we will charge a cancellation fee in the amount of the registration fee. The same holds if the participant fails to appear to the booked course. The participant is explicitly granted the opportunity to provide documentation that in their individual case, the appropriate amount (to settle accrued expenses) is lower than the amount of the registration fee.§ 5 Course
The training follows the requirements of the German parachuting association (Deutscher Fallschirmsportverband e.V., DFV). Course details and schedules will be determined according to individual requirements and communicated to the participant no later than two (2) weeks before the start of the course. If during the course, the participant misses a material learning objective associated to a training jump, the participant may be required to repeat the respective jump. The decision to repeat a jump lies with the training personnel of Fallschirmsportschule Saar GmbH.§ 6 Interruptions
If the course is interrupted due to force majeure, e.g. adverse weather conditions, official orders or orders by the airfield operator, technical problems or security risks, the participant is not entitled to damages or reimbursements. Any such claims are only effective if Fallschirmsportschule Saar GmbH (hereinafter also referred to as the “School“) are responsible for the interruption.§ 7 Continuation
If a course can not be completed as originally scheduled due to the reasons specified in above § 6, the participant may continue such interrupted course at the agreed conditions within a period of twelve (12) months from the starting date of the course. If the participant interrupts the course due to reasons other than those specified in above § 6, participant may still continue such interrupted course within a period of twelve (12) months. However, the School will in such case charge an extra schooling fee according to the expenses accrued during such interruption. Also in such cases, the reimbursement of fees is explicitly excluded.§ 8 Transferability
Booked services, in particular booked training courses, can not be transferred to other persons, except for gift certificates issued by the School.§ 9 Provision of services
Unless specific dates for the provision or services have been agreed, the School may at their own discretion determine such dates. The determination of dates is subject to reasonable discretion, and the School will try to consider the participant’s requests where possible.§ 10 Third-party services
The School assumes no responsibility with regard to the provision of external third-party services.§ 11 Insurance
The School has effected the following insurance services required under air traffic law:
- Statutory third party liability insurance for owners of parachutes.
Coverage: EUR 3,0 million for damages to persons or property. - Non-personal aviation accident insurance for training parachutes.
Insurance sum in the event of death : € 5.000,- and Insurance sum in the event of invalidity : € 10.000,-.
In order to provide the participant with additional insurance cover under membership in the Saarland parachuting association (Fallschirmsportverband Saar e.V.), we provide training courses only to active members of the association.
Any further personal insurance cover lies within the responsibility of the participant. In addition, the School offers the participant the opportunity to become a member of the German parachuting association (Deutscher Fallschirmsportverband e.V (DFV).). DFV members have access to attractive conditions for special accident insurance exceeding the insurance cover described above.
§ 12 Disclaimer
Except for cases of gross negligence or intent on behalf of the School, the participant hereby waives all claims against the School resulting from accidents or other detriments incurred by the participant during or in connection with their parachuting activities, both inside and outside of aircraft, on airfield grounds or otherwise related to aircraft.§ 13 Liability
The participant is liable for any damages caused by them, unless air traffic laws define other liabilities. Liability claims resulting from the violation of statutory provisions or from gross negligence or intent on behalf of the participant are fully borne by the participant. In such cases, participant will also bear any due excess payments.§ 14 Exclusion
Under certain conditions, the School may exclude the participant from further courses for substantial reasons. Such exclusion does not constitute grounds for any claims on behalf of the participant. In this context, substantial reasons include, inter alia: Lack of fitness for the purpose of parachuting; violation of statutory provisions under air traffic laws or other laws or directives relevant for the School; further the intentional or grossly negligent endangerment of the participant themselves or of other persons or objects. If the School determines that the participant is unfit for the purpose of parachuting, the participant will be reimbursed an appropriate portion of the course fees, to be determined on the basis of expenses already incurred by the School.
§ 15 Gift certificates
Vouchers issued by us are valid for 3 years after the statutory limitation period. The period of limitation begins at the end of the year in which the claim (purchase of the voucher) arose. The vouchers are not named and can therefore be transferred to other persons within the statute of limitations. A refund of the voucher amount, for whatever reason, is excluded.
§ 16 Severability
If individual provisions of this document should be or become partially or entirely invalid, then this shall not affect the validity of the respective remaining provisions.

The same holds for audio or video data carriers, software with broken seals or goods that are generally unit for return. Returned goods must be in their original package including all original contents (manuals etc.) and sent to the above specified address. If returned goods show traces of use, Fallschirmsportschule Saar GmbH reserves the right to withhold an appropriate compensation. Customers can avoid this by unpacking and assessing the product but not putting it to use before deciding to return it.§ 3 Availability
If after concluding a contract, Fallschirmsportschule Saar GmbH finds that certain goods or services are not available any more or can not be delivered or performed due to legal reasons, Fallschirmsportschule Saar GmbH may withdraw from the contract or opt to provide an alternative product or service matching the original order in quality and price.

Prices listed refer to orders via internet. All prices indicated include VAT (applicable for end customers in Germany and other EU states). For end customers from non-EU states, prices are indicated without VAT. Statutory VAT is calculated for dealers according to applicable law and may be subject to variations, e.g. depending on the indicated shipping address or EU tax number. Final price and tax calculations are subject to the respective customer’s personal information in existing master data sets. We therefore recommend users to log in as customers in order to ensure that the correct prices are indicated. All prices indicated are end prices. There are no discounts available. Shipping to non-EU states is subject to net prices (without VAT). For shipments to non-EU states, we charge expenses accrued in connection with the preparation of customs forms. In the case of inaccurate or incomplete price information, we reserve the right to correct such information. In such cases, we will immediately inform customers of the error and provide the respective correct information. Affected customers may then confirm or cancel their order.§ 6 Warranties / Complaints
Despite careful controls it can not be excluded that in very rare cases, the product you receive is defect or not the product you ordered. Please note that as a customer, it is your responsibility ‑ also in your own interest ‑ to communicate obvious defects in a product within two (2) weeks after delivery. In this context, the sending date of your complaint is relevant. If defects are not communicated within this period, any warranty claims for obvious defects are excluded. For a fast processing of your complaint, please send us a copy of the respective invoice and a detailed description of the defect. Please also indicate whether you wish to be refunded the purchase price or receive a credit to your customer account or wish for the product to be replaced or repaired. If you opt for a refund of the purchase price, please indicate your bank details. During the statutory warranty period of two (2) years after delivery of the product, we will repair or replace faulty products in part or entirely. If a repair or a replacement fails to remedy a defect, customers may demand a reduction of the purchase price or cancel the purchase agreement. Warranty does not include parts subject to wear and tear or defects resulting from faulty handling, excessive use or external factors.§ 7 Damage in Transit
Please verify at receipt that deliveries are complete and undamaged. If the package is damaged or appears to have been fixed by the shipping company, please leave a formal complaint with the delivery person and demand a written confirmation of the complaint. When in doubt, do not accept the package and contact us. We will ensure quick replacement.§ 8 Liability
Fallschirmsportschule Saar GmbH, their management and staff are liable in cases of culpa in contrahendo, impossibility, unlawful acts and other legal grounds and only in cases of intent, gross negligence or other culpable violation of material contractual obligations (cardinal obligations). Cardinal obligations are of crucial importance for the implementation of a contract, so that customers may rely on them being fulfilled. Any further liability is explicitly excluded. The scope of liability under the German Product Liability Act remains unaffected. Delayed delivery: Fallschirmsportschule Saar GmbH is not liable for delays in delivery caused by external third parties (e.g. manufacturing, freight forwarding etc.). Customers may withdraw from a purchase contract if the agreed delivery time is exceeded by more than 50%. Customers will be informed immediately of significant delays in delivery. In cases of delay resulting from gross negligence on behalf of Fallschirmsportschule Saar GmbH, liability is limited to a maximum of 5% of the respective order value.
