Terms and Conditions

Changes to Personal Information

Please notify us immediately in writing or by email of any change of address, name, or bank account information.

Exception

To participate in excursions and intensive courses offered by UNI:Sport, neither a basic UNI:Sport membership nor the Fit & Gesund Card, UNIfit membership, or the Water Sports Card is required. These can therefore be booked directly!

Cash Payment

Cash payments are only accepted subject to a processing fee of €5.00.

Access Card

All participants who have registered online can print out an access card.

Direct Debit Authorization

UNI:Sport is so affordable because we strive to keep administrative costs as low as possible. That’s why membership can only be offered at this low price if you provide us with a direct debit authorization.

Debits can only be made from domestic bank accounts. Holders of foreign bank accounts should contact the UNI:Sport office directly.

Cancellation

Cancellation is possible at the end of each month after the minimum term specified in the table below. The cancellation must be received by UNI:Sport in writing—preferably via email at kuendigung-unisport[at]uni-kassel[dot]de —two weeks before the end of the month. If you are submitting a written notice of termination (on paper), please be sure to include a current email address on the notice. We will confirm every notice of termination via email within 10 days! If you do not receive a confirmation, please contact us immediatelyat
Please note that neither withdrawal from the university nor the end of your employment contract at the university results in automatic termination of your membership.

Course Withdrawal

Withdrawal from a course is generally permitted. A refund of the course fee is only possible under certain conditions:

1. Withdrawal from a course must be submitted in writing, with a sufficient justification, within 14 days of registration.
2. The basic UNI:Sport membership, the Fit & Healthy Card, UNIfit membership, and the Water Sports Pass are not affected by this policy.
3. A bank statement showing the debit transaction is required for a refund. This must be submitted to the UNI:Sport office within two weeks of cancellation.

Suspending Contracts or Memberships

Contracts may be suspended for a specific period (effective on the first day of the month and only for full months) for valid reasons. Valid reasons include illness, injury, internships, or professional activities outside of Kassel. Please submit an informal request to us in a timely manner, along with the relevant supporting documentation. It is not possible to suspend a contract retroactively .

Insurance Information

All students and employees of the University of Kassel are covered by the Unfallkasse Hessen during UNI:Sport events. This also includes online courses offered live (all other video clips are excluded). This insurance coverage does not apply to civil servants. Members of the association “Freunde des Kasseler Hochschulsports e. V.” are covered by the sports insurance provided by the Landessportbund Hessen. Participating guests are responsible for their own insurance. All UNI:Sport participants are also advised to obtain adequate liability insurance.
