Terms of use

House rules

The participant is committed to follow the instructions of the management and the house rules as well as the rules for the use of the jointly owned facilities. He understands that the management is entitled to exclude each participant from the classes in case of violations of the house rules and/or of the rules for the use of the jointly owned facilities without any claims of (also partial) refund of registration fees or course fees. Further, participants at the age of 14 or younger have to take note that it is strictly forbidden to leave (even short-term) the 'Landesbildungszentrum Schloss Zell an der Pram' without permission of the management. Besides the active attendance at the classes the participant's independent and autonomous practizing is an essential precondition for the success of the course. A permanent supervision of minor participants during their practising is not possible due to the number of participants and due to the necessity to enable an undisturbed practizing for all participants. It is therefore emphasized that any responsibility for the organizer and his collaborators is excluded for any damages caused by the participant, or in cases of non-compliance of instructions or of violations of the house rules and/or of the rules for the use of the jointly owned facilities, provided that the organizer or his collaborators are not chargeable for intention of for gross negligence, or if a damage is covered by an insurance company.

Terms of withdrawal

a) According to § 11 FAGG, a 14-day withdrawal period applies from the date of registration, during which a free cancellation of registration is possible

b) Reimbursement of the entire processing and course fee as per the invoice in the event of a lack of places or if a course is cancelled by the organiser.

c) In the event of a course cancellation by the organiser due to force majeure, such as a pandemic or related official orders, the course fee already paid will be refunded in full as per the invoice. The processing fee is excluded from this

d) Instructor preference for youth courses: Registration for a youth course applies to the respective course and not to a specific instructor. Every effort will be made to take into account any instructor preference, but the organiser is not bound to fulfil it. Under no circumstances does the assignment of a different instructor constitute grounds for withdrawing from the course or for a refund of the course fee. This clause applies only to youth courses.

e) Right of substitution: An instructor has the right to be substituted at any time by a teacher of equal quality. The judgement of the quality of the substituting instructor is the sole responsibility of the course administration and/or the substituted instructor. Under no circumstances is substitution by another instructor a reason for cancellation of registration or for a refund of the course fee. This clause applies to all masterclasses.

f) Free additional group activities such as chamber orchestra, sight-reading for pianists, recorder ensemble, and rhythm training are offered as an option. In the event of cancellation, equivalent substitute activities will be offered. Cancellation of the above activities does not under any circumstances entitle the participant to a pro-rata refund of the course fee.

Accommodation


The accommodation of the PARTICIPANTS is essentially held at Schloss Zell an der Pram and is organized by the course management. If possible, the rooms will be arranged according to your wishes (if announced up to 2 weeks before the start of the course) by the course management.

Due to the specified room and bed situation, rooms and/or requests for accommodation can only be accepted tentatively. The non-fulfillment of a requested room on behalf of the course management does not result in any right of withdrawal from the booked course. Single rooms are allocated according to the age of the students in descending order.

If Schloss Zell is booked out, participants over the age of 14 can also stay in a nearby guesthouse. (About 3 minutes' walk from Schloss Zell am Pram).

The price for the guesthouse is NOT included in the course fee. Please pay the fee on the day of arrival in the reception area of the Schloss.

Please note that accompanying persons are not allowed to spend the night or eat at Schloss Zell and are to organize other accommodation, where applicable. A list of nearby hotels and guesthouses can be found below as a download.

We also kindly ask for your understanding that in the case of youth courses, for purely educational reasons, the presence of accompanying persons (parents, guardians, etc.) is not planned or desired during the entire course.

Risk

Participation in the course is at your own risk. Participants are liable for any damages caused by them.
