General terms and conditions and conditions of participation in an event/workshop/retreat
1. General
1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (“GTC”) apply to participation in events, workshops and retreats organized by the operator of this website (hereinafter referred to as the “Organizer”). Any deviating terms and conditions of the participant shall not apply.
1.2 The organizer reserves the right to make changes and additions to these regulations. Possible amendments and additions shall become valid upon publication on this website.
2. Registration and conclusion of contract
2.1 Registration for participation in the events is only possible via the organizer’s website or in person at the event location.
2.2 The organizer submits an offer for the conclusion of a purchase contract with the information provided on the website. The participant accepts his offer to conclude a purchase contract by completing the order process and clicking on the “Complete registration” button in the final order screen. The effective acceptance of the offer by the participant requires that the participant has filled in all required fields in the order form (each marked with an “*”) and has accepted these GTC.
2.3 The contract for participation in the event is only concluded after the organizer has confirmed the registration to the participants in writing via e-mail. Amendments and/or additions to the contract must be made in writing. This also applies to the waiver of the written form clause.
3. Prices
3.1 The price stated in the confirmation of participation is the final price and is binding on the participant.
3.2 All prices include VAT where applicable.
3.3 If special prices are granted for discounts (students, members of certain organizations, etc.), this is also shown separately. If no discounts are shown, these cannot be granted. The discount must be granted upon presentation of proper proof (student ID, confirmation from the university, indication of membership number). Proof must be provided before the start of the event. If proof cannot be provided, the participant must pay the difference between the full price and the reduced price at the start of the event in order to be entitled to admission.
4. Payment
4.1 Payment shall be made via the methods indicated on the website. All prices are due immediately upon conclusion of the contract and at the latest on the day of the event.
4.2 Payment by credit card: When paying by credit card (MasterCard, Visa), the participant will be asked to enter the credit card details during the payment process. The associated credit card account will then be debited for the amount of the ticket.
4.3 If a payment is charged back (e.g. due to insufficient funds in the account specified when the order was placed), the Participant must reimburse any damages or expenses arising from the chargeback. This includes in particular the bank charges as well as a processing fee of EUR 10.00 per chargeback for processing by the organizer.
In the event of an unjustified chargeback to the credit card, processing costs of EUR 40.00 will be charged.
In the event of a chargeback, the organizer is entitled to withdraw from the contract immediately. The participant thereby loses his/her right to participate in the booked event. Further claims of the organizer against the participants are not affected by this.
