General Terms and Conditions (GTC)

1. Formation of the training contract

The training contract is concluded by written registration and confirmation by the driving school. Upon conclusion of the contract, these GTC are deemed accepted.

The contract entitles the learner driver to participate in the theoretical and practical training services in accordance with the chosen driving licence class.

2. Training services

The driving school provides training in accordance with the statutory provisions of the Driving Instructors Act (Fahrlehrergesetz, FahrlG) and the Driving Learners Training Ordinance (Fahrschüler-Ausbildungsordnung, FahrschAusbO).

• Theory lessons in accordance with the statutory mandatory curriculum
• Practical basic and performance levels
• Special trips (out-of-town, motorway, night)
• Practical test preparation
• Driving simulator training (if booked)

The scope of practical training depends on the individual learning progress and the assessment of the responsible driving instructors.

3. Learner driver obligations

• punctual attendance at theory and practical lessons
• carrying a valid ID to every driving lesson
• following the driving instructor’s instructions
• appropriate clothing and sturdy footwear
• not attending under the influence of alcohol, drugs or driving-impairing medication

In the event of a breach of safety instructions, the learner driver may be excluded from the lesson.

4. Driving school obligations

• proper training in accordance with FahrlG and FahrschAusbO
• teaching all content required by law
• use of trained and certified driving instructors
• providing safe, functional training vehicles

5. Scheduling and cancellation of driving lessons

Driving lessons are arranged individually. Cancellations must be made at least 2 business days in advance.

In the event of short-notice cancellations or failure to attend, the driving school may charge a cancellation fee in the amount of the agreed driving lesson, provided that no replacement appointment can be arranged.

6. Exam admission and exam fees

Admission to the theory and practical exam is granted as soon as the required knowledge and skills are available.

Fees for exams (TÜV) must be paid separately and are not part of these GTC.

7. Contract Term and Reactivation

The contract ends upon passing the exam or upon final failure of the exam, or by termination in text form (e.g. by email; Section 126b German Civil Code (BGB)). Termination solely due to inactivity does not take place.

If the training is inactive for 12 months without any activity (no theory lessons, no driving lessons – purchasing or renewing learning materials and theory or practical exams do not count as activity), the training is considered dormant. For resumption/reactivation, a processing and reactivation fee in the amount of 50% of the agreed basic fee is due; this must be paid before the training continues.

There is no automatic contract extension; the contract continues until it ends in accordance with the provisions above.

8. Termination of the training contract

The learner driver may terminate the contract at any time in writing. Services already provided must be paid in full.

A flat administrative fee of 50 euros is charged for processing a contract termination.

The driving school may terminate if:

• the learner driver is repeatedly absent without excuse
• payments are not made despite a reminder
• appointments already agreed are repeatedly missed without notice
• safety instructions are seriously breached
• training is significantly disrupted by misconduct

9. Vouchers and discounts

Promotional vouchers and voucher codes issued free of charge by the driving school apply only under the conditions of the respective promotion and only to new registrations. The code must be provided and activated no later than before the training contract is concluded. Retrospective crediting and cash payment are excluded.

The discount is granted on the condition that the driving licence training agreed upon with the new registration is completed in full at Fahrschule Aschmann. Completion means that the contractually agreed training services have been provided at Fahrschule Aschmann and – depending on the type of training – the practical examination has been taken through Fahrschule Aschmann or the required certificate of attendance has been issued.

If the learner driver terminates the training contract early or changes to another driving school before completion, entitlement to the discount lapses retrospectively. The amount already credited will then be charged subsequently. This also applies if the driving school terminates the contract for an important reason culpably caused by the learner driver. No subsequent charge will be made if the driving school is responsible for the reason for termination or if continuation is unreasonable for the learner driver for an important reason for which the learner driver is not responsible.

9a. Price adjustment

The agreed prices apply to services that become due within 6 months after the contract is concluded. If services become due only after more than 6 months after the contract is concluded, the driving school may adjust the prices for services not yet provided, provided that cost factors (e.g., operating, vehicle, personnel or energy costs) have demonstrably changed. Services already booked or already provided will not be increased.

10. Right of withdrawal for online registration

For online registrations, there is a statutory 14-day right of withdrawal pursuant to §§ 312g, 355 BGB.

If services are fully provided within the withdrawal period, the right of withdrawal expires pursuant to § 356 para. 4 BGB, provided that express consent was given.

11. Data protection

Our privacy policy applies to the processing of personal data at /en/datenschutz.

12. Final provisions

German law applies. Place of jurisdiction is the seat of the driving school, insofar as legally permissible.

Should individual provisions of these GTC be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.
