About New Lehrhaus
New Lehrhaus is a nonprofit educational organization offering classes, lectures, cultural programs, events, and other opportunities for learning and engagement.

We may correct errors or update website content at any time.

New Lehrhaus may modify program schedules, instructors, locations, formats, or other program details when reasonably necessary.
Programs may also be postponed or canceled because of circumstances beyond our control. When this occurs, we will make reasonable efforts to notify registered participants and provide appropriate options consistent with the applicable program’s registration or cancellation policy.
Specific programs, events, or trips may have additional registration, cancellation, refund, or participation terms. Those terms will apply in addition to these Terms & Conditions.

Any applicable cancellation or refund terms presented during registration or in the program description form part of the terms of that registration.
Memberships
New Lehrhaus memberships provide the benefits described at the time the membership is purchased. Membership benefits, program discounts, and other features may change from time to time.

You may cancel automatic renewal without canceling your current membership. Cancellation of automatic renewal will take effect for the next renewal period; your current membership will remain active through the end of the period for which you have already paid.
