Paying Up for University Admission Only Upon Commencing Studies
Payment of admission fees for studies is to be made exclusively upon the commencement of studies. - Payment of placement fees is due solely upon enrollment for the course of study.
Here's a sketchy scenario: you've hired Studimed to secure your admission into the University of Mostar in Bosnia to study medicine. But things change—you decide to halt your academic ambitions. However, the broker refuses to back off, demanding a fee equivalent to an annual tuition fee, claiming the university has already agreed.
Well, here's a twist: the brokerage contract provision, as the Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe clarifies, contradicts a fundamental principle of legal regulations. It's all about the brokerage business, and as per the rules, you pay when a contract is concluded, not before.
In this case, you didn't accept the offered admission, implying no contract was established with the university. So, making you pay up would give the broker an unfair advantage. This situation may vary depending on specifics, but the general gist applies.

(Note: The search results didn't uncover a detailed ruling by the Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe regarding brokerage fees for university admissions in Bosnia. If more information about the case is available, I might offer a more insightful analysis.)
In the scenario, even though a broker, such as Studimed, has secured a potential admission for an individual in Bosnia's University of Mostar, they are not entitled to claim an upfront brokerage fee if no contract has been finalized since the university admission has not been accepted. Furthermore, the Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe's ruling on brokerage businesses indicates that payments should only be made once a contract is concluded, never before.
