9. Disclaimer of liability (see below).

As a general rule, fees that have already been paid are non-refundable.

If a course is cancelled due to an insufficient number of participants, the amount paid will be refunded. Any exceptions to this policy are decided exclusively by the University Sports Unit (Zentrale Einrichtung Hochschulsport).

Students who voluntarily participate in general university sports are considered to be covered by insurance if the following conditions are met:

The sports activity offered by the university must constitute an official university sports event.
General university sports must be organised by the university itself or by an institution affiliated with the university.
The sporting activity must take place within an organised course or training session, i.e. during the scheduled times and under the supervision of an appointed instructor.

For employees of BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg, a sports-related accident is treated as an occupational accident and is therefore covered by insurance if the sporting activity constitutes an official university event. If necessary, please contact the University Sports Unit (ZEH) to find out whether a particular sports activity meets this requirement.

Civil servants are generally subject to specific statutory accident insurance provisions applicable to civil servants.
