If outstanding amounts exceed EUR 1,000 and are overdue by 30 days, the school may suspend schooling without notice; if overdue by 60 days and exceeding EUR 1,000, the school may terminate the contract without notice. Suspension or termination does not reduce the obligation to pay the full contribution for the year.

Refunds and contract termination (prorating on withdrawal)
- Parents may terminate the school contract with 30 days' notice to the end of any calendar month. On termination the annual contribution is reduced according to the effective date:
