Explanation of invoicing by e-mail and PDF

Some organizations force us to submit invoices via portals. In such cases, we always offer training courses at the normal price without discounts or early bird prices or similar.

Data collection and use

By registering, customers expressly agree that we may electronically record the data (name, address, e-mail) of the participating and registering persons and use it for the preparation, organization, implementation and follow-up of the training courses.

Deregistration

  • Cancellations must be made in writing (preferably by e-mail).

  • The following rules apply to cancelations or withdrawals:

    • Cancellation is possible free of charge up to 21 days before the start of the event.
    • Cancellation up to 14 days before the start of the course 50% of the participation fee.
    • Cancellations after this time will be charged in full.

  • If registered persons do not show up for training, the participation fee is due in full.

  • If you cancel, you can of course nominate another person to replace you (even at short notice) at no extra cost.

Cancellations in case of illness

The participation fee is also due in the event of illness in accordance with section Cancellation. We always try to find a good arrangement for both sides. If possible, we will try to find a replacement date for the sick person as soon as possible.

For these alternative dates we offer a 50% discount on the then applicable participation fee.

Cancellations on our part

In the event of insufficient demand or other reasons for which we as the organizer are not responsible, a training date may be cancelled even after confirmation of participation or registration.

  • In this case, you will receive a refund of all fees already paid.
  • There are no further claims against the organizers or the instructors.

Right of withdrawal
