If we receive notice of cancellation up to 7 days prior to the start of the course, a cancellation charge of 50% of the tuition fees is due. Thereafter we will invoice the full course fee for all cancellations. You are free to name a replacement rather than cancel attendance altogether.
Exceptions: Cancellation and payment exceptions are Cisco Advanced Services' and VMware courses (or other special courses): course fee must be settled 15 business days in advance in order to confirm the course registration. For cancellation within 10 business days before course start a cancellation charge of 100% of the tuition fees is due.

In the event that we cancel a course because of force majeure or other unforeseeable circumstances (for example, in case of accident or illness of the instructor) the liability of Fast Lane GmbH is limited to the refunding of course fees to participants who have arrived at the training location. The Company is not liable for any travel and lodging expenses.

3.4. If a participant fails to attend on the registered date due to illness, a new date for a course offering the same subject matter will be scheduled upon submission of a medical certificate. A cancellation charge will not be levied in this case.
