References to the masculine gender apply equally to the feminine gender.
1.2 In addition, the special conditions which deviate from or supplement these general conditions are applicable to individual business transactions; they will be stipulated on the conclusion of the contract with the Student. To the extent that the special conditions provide or to the extent otherwise agreed, they shall have priority.
2.1 The Student shall punctually provide the Frankfurt School with all information and documentation necessary for the provision of the Course of Studies. In particular, it is necessary for the orderly conduct of business that the Student immediately informs the Frankfurt School of any change of their name or contact details.
2.2 The Student must without delay satisfy himself as to the accuracy and completeness of all certificates and other communications from the Frankfurt School and notify any discrepancies without delay.
3.1 Unless otherwise agreed, it is necessary for the orderly and timely completion of all formalities associated with the course of studies for the student to provide the Frankfurt School with an e-mail address and check his e-mail regularly. Students will usually be notified of, e.g. timetables, changes, study instructions and important information (for example, exam results.) by e-mail.
3.2 e-mail communication may be unencrypted.
3.3 It is the responsibility of the student to ensure that his e-mail address is protected from unauthorized access by third parties.
4.1 The study material provided by the Frankfurt School is by way of assistance to the student. It does not to any extent relieve the student of the obligation to conduct his own research, to participate in attendance modules and to keep abreast of current developments in the subject area. In particular, the study material cannot completely cover all possible exam topics.
4.2 The student must acquire additional study material, e.g. legislation, more detailed literature and study aids at his own expense.

6.2 The liability of the Frankfurt School for negligence shall exclude property damage and
economic loss, except in the case of the breach of a term of the contract which is necessary for the orderly execution of the contract to be at all possible, the breach of which endangers the fulfilment of the purpose of the contract, and on the performance of which regular reliance is placed by the student (hereinafter referred to as a “cardinal obligation”). The liability for the breach of such a cardinal obligation is in turn limited to the foreseeable damage typical to this type of contract. Incidentally, the Frankfurt School is not liable for simple negligent breaches of ancillary obligations that are not material to the contract. The limitations of liability mentioned under 6.2 also apply insofar as the liability for the legal representatives, executives and other vicarious agents of the Frankfurt School is concerned.
6.3 Further liability of the Frankfurt School is excluded regardless of the legal nature of the asserted claim. Insofar as the liability is excluded or limited, this also applies to the personal liability of employees, representatives and vicarious agents of the Frankfurt School.

10.1 The Frankfurt School determines the lecturers and the course programme and/or exam programme at its own discretion.
10.2 The Frankfurt School determines the academic calendar and the examination dates.

The Frankfurt School is entitled to relocate individual courses or the courses of individual departments to another location within a reasonable distance or to hold them as online courses due to official, health, teaching, spatial or comparable requirements. The courses of a programme may also be held partly or completely as online events if there are pedagogical-didactical or organisational reasons for doing so and the participants have been informed of this in good time. Online events in the aforementioned sense are typically carried out as real-time transmission, in which contact between lecturer and participant is possible at any time as in a classroom event.

12.1 Amendments to these general conditions and the special conditions will be notified to the student in writing.
12.2 If the student agreed with the Frankfurt School to electronic communication in their business relationship (e.g. internet, extranet/myCampus), the amendments can be communicated by these means, if the means of communication permits the student to store or print the amendments in a legible form.
12.3 Amendments to these general conditions are deemed to be agreed if the student does not object in writing or by the agreed electronic means of communication.
