The following applies to all services: if the Wenckebach Instituut and a client have entered into an agreement regarding a degree programme, course, training session or other service and the Wenckebach Instituut has taken on commitments to third parties for that purpose, then in the event of cancellation by the client or participant, the Wenckebach Instituut will pass on any costs which cannot be recovered from those third parties to the client or participant. 

If someone is unable to attend and the service has not yet started, another student or participant may take his or her place.

The Wenckebach Instituut must be notified immediately of the substitution of a participant.
