2. Seminars section

2.1. Public seminars

Registrations for the seminars must be sent to Glenfis AG in writing or electronically. Reservations can be made by telephone or electronically, but will only be considered if written registration is received by Glenfis AG within 7 calendar days. The number of participants is limited to 15. Registrations will be considered in the order in which they are received. If seminars are already fully booked, the customer will be notified and informed of the next available dates. If there are fewer than 5 registered participants, Glenfis AG reserves the right to cancel the course.

2.2 Company seminars

On the basis of an individual offer to the customer, an individual contract is concluded for company seminars, which is generally subject to the provisions of the "General Course Terms and Conditions", unless otherwise agreed in individual contracts. The offer includes in particular the individual service components and the modalities of the in-house training courses (training centers, customer premises, etc.).

2.3 Data privacy

The data relating to the seminar contract will be stored electronically for internal purposes in compliance with data protection regulations.

2.4 Seminar fees

The seminar fees include the following services: Seminar implementation and seminar documents. For open seminars, the use of training rooms and their technical equipment for teaching purposes, lunch and drinks during breaks are also included. The prices are (unless otherwise stated) per participant and are exclusive of VAT. The seminar fees in the current price list apply.

Partial participation does not entitle the participant to a reduction in the seminar price. In the case of company seminars outside German-speaking Switzerland, travel times and the lecturer's travel and hotel costs will be charged at the prices agreed in the individual contract.

The seminar fees must be paid on time.

2.5 Invoicing and payment modalities

Invoicing by Glenfis for seminars is generally carried out electronically by e-mail to the invoice address specified in the registration form.
The customer shall ensure the accuracy of his details with regard to the data relevant to the order and invoice.
The customer transfers the invoice amount due within the specified payment period and without deduction to the specified Glenfis account.
Glenfis reserves the right to exclude seminar participants from current or future events if the invoice amount has not been paid on time. In the case of framework agreements, payment is made in accordance with the agreed terms.

2.6 Cancellation by participant

Cancellation of a firmly booked training course by the participant must be made in writing. If this is received by Glenfis AG no later than four weeks before the start of the seminar, the participant will not incur any costs. In the event of a later withdrawal up to two weeks before the start of the seminar, 50% of the seminar fees are due. After this date, 100% of the agreed seminar fee is due. Substitute participants must be named at least one week before the seminar.

2.7 Liability and compensation

If a seminar is canceled due to illness of the speaker, force majeure or other unforeseeable events, there is no entitlement to the event being held. In such cases, Glenfis cannot be held liable for reimbursement of travel and accommodation costs or compensation payments for loss of working hours.

In general, Glenfis can only be held liable for the cancellation of a seminar in the event of intent and/or gross negligence.

In the case of trainers named in individual contracts, no claim for compensation can be made against Glenfis if the trainer is absent for an important reason.

Glenfis is not liable for damage caused directly or indirectly by the holding of a seminar - unless this damage was caused intentionally or through gross negligence by Glenfis or its vicarious agents (e.g. subcontractors).

Glenfis is not liable for indirect damage, in particular loss of profit or other third-party claims.

Lessons and exercises are designed in such a way that an attentive participant can achieve the seminar objective. Glenfis does not guarantee the success of the seminar or the passing of a subsequent examination by the respective participant. Glenfis is not liable for any resulting damage.
