Conditions

Special terms and conditions
Danes Worldwide and Den Danske Sommerskole (The Danish Summer School) offer stays at Den Danske Sommerskole (The Danish Summer School) and Familie-Sommerskolen (The Family Summer School), Online Danish Instruction, and legal advisory and case processing services. Please note that special terms and conditions apply for the individual products.
All products or services by Danes Worldwide and Den Danske Sommerskole (The Danish Summer School) bought at a reduced price for members, require a valid membership for the entire duration of the product or service.
Den Danske Sommerskole and Familie-Sommerskolen
In the event of cancellation of Summer School stays, the following rules apply: In the event of cancellation no later than the end of 31 January Danish time in the year of the stay, the course fee will be refunded with the exception of an administration fee (currently DKK 1,500 per person for the Den Danske Sommerskole (The Danish Summer School) and DKK 750 per person for Familie-Sommerskolen (The Family Summer School)). For cancellations after this date, the course fee less the administration fee will only be refunded if the place can be sold to another participant. Cancellations due to illness after 31 January are subject to the same provisions as above, and refunds will be subject to the same conditions. However, refunds of the course fee less the administration fee will be provided if the place left vacant by the cancellation is sold to another participant.
In the event of extraordinary situations such as but not limited to acts of war, terror, epidemics, fire, natural disasters, national bankruptcies, blockades, embargoes, sanctions, breakdowns in public and/or private infrastructure, including consequences of extended duration, which can be characterised as force majeure as this term is understood under Danish law, and if, as a result of such circumstances, the activities of Den Danske Sommerskole (The Danish Summer School) or Familie-Sommerskolen (The Family Summer School) are fully or partially limited or cancelled, Den Danske Sommerskole (The Danish Summer School) cannot be held liable for compensation. In such cases, registered participants have no claim to refunds of any kind.
Online Danish Instruction
You may cancel any purchase of an online Danish course within 14 days after the transaction and receive a refund of the purchase price less an administrative fee of DKK 500 per student.
However, once the program starts, you cannot cancel your purchase and registration.
The purchase of any online Danish course provides access to the teaching materials from the day the course starts until one month after it ends. Danes Worldwide guarantees that individual feedback will be provided for all assignments submitted on time.
We are not liable for any technical difficulties experienced by the purchaser (including but not limited to an intermittent/unstable internet connection, technical matters, geoblocking, obsolete equipment, local conditions, and weather conditions).
Membership
Membership of Danes Worldwide is automatically renewed.
If you wish to cancel membership of the association during a membership period, the cancellation will take effect as of the following year. This also applies for cancellation of membership due to dissatisfaction with services included with membership.
Case processing
When Danes Worldwide has commenced case processing, the buyer will only be able to claim partial refund in the event of order cancellation, as portions of the service have already been delivered. In the event of order cancellation, Danes Worldwide will keep DKK 200 per day after the time of purchase.
In the event of rejection by the Danish authorities of applications prepared with the assistance of Danes Worldwide, the buyer in this case has no claim to refunds of any kind.
