Legal
General Terms & Conditions and Terms of Use.
1.1 These terms apply to all courses offered by DA F.U.N.K. at all course locations.
1.2 House rules of the operators/landlords may additionally apply at the course locations. These must be followed. In case of conflict, these terms take precedence unless mandatory safety requirements are affected.
2.1 Course operation, public holidays & school holidays (per location, flat rate): Courses run all year round. On public holidays at the respective course location and during the school holidays of the federal state applicable at the course location, no in-person classes take place as a rule, unless replacement dates or online sessions are announced at least one week in advance.
The monthly fee is a flat-rate usage fee and is not linked to the number of sessions taking place in a calendar month. On an annual average, the number of sessions offered corresponds to the booked weekly rhythm (e.g. one session per week); monthly deviations due to public holidays/school holidays/closures are priced in. If the contractually promised services are not achieved over a continuous period of at least four consecutive weeks, DA F.U.N.K. offers replacement dates or equivalent online sessions; if this is unreasonable or not possible, the fee is reduced pro rata.
2.2 While at the course locations, the instructions of DA F.U.N.K. and its agents for maintaining orderly operations, safety and order as well as the house rules must be followed.
2.3 Each member shall notify changes to contract-relevant data (name, address, email, bank details etc.) without delay in text form.
2.4 Mandatory check-in (access control & capacity management): Participation in the course is not possible without check-in. Check-in takes place before the start of the course via the systems provided (e.g. app/QR code/scanner) or alternatively manually with staff (especially in the event of technical faults). Late check-in may result in non-participation if the session has started or the course capacity has been reached. The member keeps the required proof (e.g. digital/physical membership card) ready.
2.5 Member photo (identity check): Upon conclusion of the contract, a current, clearly recognisable portrait photo (head/shoulders) must be provided. Without a photo on file, access may be refused. The photo serves solely for identity verification as part of access control; no biometric analysis takes place. For minors, the parents or legal guardians provide the photo. For information on data processing see section 10.
3.1 Occupancy/number of participants: DA F.U.N.K. may limit course occupancy for organisational reasons, in particular due to space. Limits are announced in advance by email and/or on the course page. Membership holders receive a reasonable alternative (replacement date/online). In the event of persistent overbooking (at least three consecutive weeks), the member has a special right of termination at the end of the month.
3.2 Force majeure/official requirements: In the event of force majeure (e.g. natural events, official orders, widespread disruptions) that substantially impede or prevent in-person delivery, DA F.U.N.K. may offer equivalent online sessions. If this is unreasonable or not possible, the fee is reduced pro rata. Further statutory rights (e.g. Section 313 BGB) remain unaffected.
4.1 DA F.U.N.K. is liable in accordance with statutory provisions in cases of intent and gross negligence as well as for culpably caused injury to life, body or health. Otherwise, DA F.U.N.K. is liable only under the Product Liability Act, in cases of fraudulent intent, assumed guarantee or breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations). In the latter case, liability for simple negligence is limited to the foreseeable damage typical of the contract.
4.2 The provisions of 4.1 apply to all claims, irrespective of the legal basis; likewise to compensation for futile expenses.
4.3 This does not entail any change to the statutory burden of proof.
5.1 By submitting the written or electronic registration, the customer makes an offer to conclude a membership or course booking.
5.2 The contract is concluded by declaration of acceptance (e.g. confirmation email) or by commencement of the service. DA F.U.N.K. may reject the offer within 14 days.
5.3 Persons under 18 require the consent of a parent or legal guardian.
6.1 Ongoing memberships (continuing obligation): The contract initially has the minimum term stated on the contract cover sheet; it is extended by pause periods under section 7.1. Either party may terminate it to the end of the minimum term with one month's notice. If it is not terminated in due time to the end of the minimum term, it continues for an indefinite period. Thereafter either party may terminate it monthly on the reference day; the notice must be received at least one month before the reference day. The reference day is the day of the month on which the contract began, in shorter months the last day of the month; the last day of the contract is the day before the reference day. Example: contract start 15 March 2026, minimum term 12 months (until 14 March 2027). If the notice is received on 15 October 2027, 14 November 2027 is the last day of the contract; if it is received on 16 October 2027, 14 December 2027. If an extension by a fixed term is agreed on the contract cover sheet (contracts from before 1 March 2022), the contract is extended by this term each time unless it is terminated with one month's notice to the end of the respective term; it can then only be terminated to that end.
6.2 Courses/workshops with a fixed period end automatically at the end of the booked period; ordinary termination is not required.
6.3 Forms of termination; online cancellation button: Terminations may be declared in text form (e.g. email) to DA F.U.N.K. TANZ STUDIOS e.K., Oskar-von-Miller-Str. 19, 86199 Augsburg, Germany, email: dance@dafunk.dance . For continuing obligations concluded online, termination may also be declared at any time via the cancellation button provided on the website (Section 312k BGB).
6.4 The right to extraordinary termination for good cause remains unaffected.
6.5 The termination must state the first and last name, address, date of birth and the course/contract to be terminated.
7.1 On request, the membership may be paused in the event of unforeseeable downtime (e.g. pregnancy, illness, work-related relocation). Reasons must be documented. No fees are due for the duration of the pause; the contract term is extended accordingly free of charge.
7.2 A pause is possible for at least one full calendar month and at most six full calendar months.
7.3 Start and end must be notified in advance, at the latest at the beginning of the pause period, in text form (with supporting documents). Retroactive declarations are excluded.
7.4 Courses cannot be attended during the pause period.
7.5 Termination during the pause period is permitted; it takes effect at the end of the pause period subject to the notice periods.
8.1 The contractually agreed fees are due in advance on the 1st of each month unless otherwise agreed in the individual contract. The fee for the first pro-rata month and any trial class fees are due on the day the contract is concluded.
8.2 Fees are collected by SEPA direct debit. The member grants a corresponding direct debit mandate and maintains it for the term of the contract; changes to bank details must be notified without delay.
8.3 Returned direct debit costs: If direct debits are not honoured for reasons attributable to the member, DA F.U.N.K. may claim reimbursement of the bank charges actually incurred and its own documented expenses. The member remains free to prove that the damage was lower.
8.4 If the member is in arrears with an amount equal to at least two monthly fees, DA F.U.N.K. may terminate extraordinarily. Further statutory rights remain unaffected.
8.5 The course fee includes the fee for participation in accordance with the booked contract. Additional offers/services are charged separately.
A) Courses/workshops with a fixed date or period (leisure service): For off-premises and distance contracts for courses/workshops with a specific date or period, there is no right of withdrawal (Section 312g (2) no. 9 BGB).
B) Ongoing memberships and flexible offers concluded by consumers at a distance (e.g. online, by email or by phone) or off-premises:
