Such a reservation can be cancelled informally by email at any time without giving reasons. However, in the interest of mutual fairness, we expressly request that you do so.

3.2 A contract with the organizer is concluded by sending and confirming the completed and signed declaration of participation/booking form by post, by email or by completing and submitting the relevant booking form on the website.

3.3 Each participant will receive a confirmation or rejection email upon receipt of his/her declaration of participation/online booking.

- from 4 weeks before the fixed date 75% of the fee

- from 2 weeks before the fixed date 100% of the fee.

possibility of rescheduling. However, there is no legal entitlement to this.
