Terms and conditions for training and seminars
- itl offers training and seminars to companies only. The companies alone, not the individual employees of the companies, are the parties to the contract with itl.
- All offers and contracts in relation to seminars provided by itl are subject to these terms and conditions. No terms and conditions other than these are applicable. All agreements must be concluded in writing in order to be valid.
Registration
Registrations are considered to be binding as soon as they reach itl (via the itl website, email or post).
itl respects internal company requirements with regard to the acceptance of invitations. It is up to the party to the contract to check in advance whether a registration for an itl event meets its own internal compliance requirements. By registering for an event, the party to the contract confirms that attendance at the event meets its internal compliance requirements.
Seminar fees
The fees for our seminars are fixed prices. Value added tax has to be added. The seminar fee has to be paid at least 48 hours before the start of the seminar. If the invoice has not been settled in full by the start of the seminar, itl can exclude the party to the contract from the event. itl’s entitlement to remuneration remains unaffected by this. If only parts of a seminar or training are attended, this does not entitle the party to the contract to a price reduction. itl reserves the right to change seminar fees at the latest 31 days before the start of the seminar.
Withdrawal from the contract
If the party to the contract wishes to withdraw from the contract, this must be done in writing. If this is done three weeks or more before the start of the seminar, there is no charge. If it is done 14 days at the latest before the start of the seminar, itl will charge 50% of the seminar fees. If the party to the contract withdraws later than that or a registered participant fails to attend, itl will charge the seminar fees in full. However, itl does allow the party to the contract to register a different participant from the one originally registered, without further costs, provided this is done by the start of the seminar.
Seminar cancellation:
itl reserves the right to cancel seminars, in particular, if an instructor is unable to attend, if the rooms are not available due to circumstances beyond itl’s control or if the minimum number of participants has not been reached one week before the start of the seminar. In such cases, itl will inform the party to the contract in good time and offer an alternative date. If the alternative date is unsuitable, any fees that have already been paid will be reimbursed. The party to the contract will not be entitled to make any further claims.
Compensation for damages
itl will be liable for damages only in the event of wilful intent or gross negligence, except in the case of personal injuries. The party to the contract must prove that there has been slight or gross negligence. Compensation for consequential damages and purely financial losses is excluded.
itl is not liable for the accuracy, formally or in terms of content, of the information provided in the documents associated with the event and/or during the event.
