5. Termination of the contract

The training contract can be terminated by the driving student at any time and by the driving school only for an important reason: An important reason exists in particular if the driving student

If the training contract is terminated, the driving school is entitled to the fee for the driving lessons provided and any presentation for the test.

Any advance payment must be refunded.

7. Compliance with agreed deadlines

Driving school, driving instructors and driving students must ensure that agreed driving lessons start on time. Driving lessons generally begin and end at the driving school. If this is deviated from at the request of the learner driver, the driving time spent will be charged at the driving hourly rate. If the driving instructor is responsible for the late start of a driving lesson or if he interrupts the practical lesson, the lost training time must be made up or credited.

Waiting times in case of delay:
The driving instructor is more than late 15 Minutes, so the learner driver doesn't have to wait any longer. If the learner driver is responsible for the delayed start of the agreed practical training, the lost training time will be at his expense. If he is late by more than 15 minutes, the driving instructor does not have to wait any longer. The agreed training period is then deemed to have been canceled (section 3b paragraph 3).
