If any parts of one-time events must be canceled or altered due to force majeure (incl. pandemics) or other compelling reasons (e.g. change of speakers due to sickness or personal issues), you are not entitled to refunds or damages, as long as the main character of the event remains untouched. If the one-time event is cancelled, any fees already paid shall be refunded.

If you attend a one-time event, and the Institute considers your actions and behaviour during the event as a violation of our terms of services, specifically our user conduct rules, it has the right to exclude you from continuing to attend the event immediately, and this does not constitute a right for any reimbursements. 5. Right of Withdrawal

Consumers have the right to withdraw from the contract within 14 days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day of the conclusion of the contract. This right of withdrawal is excluded, if the Service is to be provided in connection with the Consumer’s leisure activities on a specific date or during a specific period (e.g. one-time events). To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us

We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement. If you requested to begin with the performance of services during the withdrawal period, you should pay us an amount which is in proportion to what has been provided until you have communicated to us your withdrawal from the contract, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract.
