Additional or contradictory terms are excluded. Changes, additions and supplements require explicit written confirmation by CSK. These terms and conditions do not apply to other service, i.e. in-house courses, coaching and consulting.
2 Registrations
The number of participants may be limited due to didactical, technical or organizational reasons. Participants are regarded in order of their registrations. Participant data are kept electronically for administration purposes. The requests are processed by CSK using electronic data processing. The customer agrees to the handling of his data, as it has become disclosed to CSK via contract, to the extent necessary for the business relationship. Personal data may be used according to data protection regulations by CSK and its partners. Additional use of personal and customer data requires explicit permission by the customer.
3 Course Fees
The fees published at the time of ordering are authoritative for invoicing. Fees are listed excluding potential local VAT. Published fees are subject to change at any time without further notification. The fees for attending one of CSK’s courses have to be paid in the invoice currency; they are due at the first day of the course unless stated otherwise. Partial attendance of courses does not permit participants to reduce the course fee. If the payment period is exceeded, CSK may apply interest charges to the customer’s account without further notifications; according to legal regulations.
In case of online registrations, customers receive a PDF invoice/receipt with 48 hours after booking. On request, we also send paper copies by mail.
