- No billing of a current month possible in case of early cancellation

- If not cancelled, the upgrade ends at the end of the respective semester at the latest.

- The upgrade must be purchased again at the beginning of each semester.

- For control purposes, the current RMV semester ticket (your student ID, not the Athene Card!) and a photo ID must also be carried.
