If you have not received a corresponding message within this period, you are no longer bound to your booking. In such a case, any services already provided will be promptly refunded.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your registered email address is accurate, the receipt of emails is technically secured, and, notably, not hindered by SPAM filters.

§ 6 Service Provision for Courses

(1) The courses will be conducted on the agreed-upon dates in the manner described in the respective offers.

Any services already provided will be promptly refunded in this case.

(3) In the event of the cancellation of a single event due to the last-minute absence of the course instructor, such as illness or other significant reasons, any services already provided will be promptly refunded. For events comprising multiple sessions, if one session is canceled due to the sudden absence of the course instructor, a makeup session will be scheduled at an alternative date.

(4) When using course facilities and objects, you are required to adhere to the local house rules. You must comply with our instructions or those given by the course instructor.

§ 9 Right of Retention, Reservation of Ownership

(1) Your right of retention is applicable only insofar as it concerns claims arising from the same contractual relationship.

(2) Ownership of the goods is retained by us until the full payment of the purchase price.

(3) For business entities, the following additional provisions apply:

a) We reserve ownership of the goods until the complete settlement of all claims from the ongoing business relationship. Pledging or transfer by way of security is not permitted before the transfer of ownership of the reserved goods.

b) You are permitted to resell the goods in the ordinary course of business. In such cases, you hereby assign all claims arising from the resale, up to the invoice amount, to us, and we accept the assignment. You are authorized to collect the claim. However, if you fail to meet your payment obligations properly, we reserve the right to collect the claim ourselves.

c) In the event of connection and mixing of the reserved goods, we acquire co-ownership of the new item in relation to the invoice value of the reserved goods compared to the other processed items at the time of processing.

d) Upon your request, we undertake to release the securities owed to us, to the extent that the realizable value of our securities exceeds the secured claim by more than 10%. The choice of the securities to be released is at our discretion.

§ 10 Warranty

(1) The statutory rights for product defects are applicable.

(2) If you're a consumer, please promptly inspect the item upon delivery for completeness, visible defects, and any transportation damage. Notify us and the carrier of any issues as soon as possible. Failure to do so won't affect your statutory warranty rights.

(3) For business entities, the following applies in deviation from the general warranty provisions:

a) The item's characteristics are only those specified by us and in the manufacturer's product description, not other advertisements, public endorsements, or statements by the manufacturer.

b) In the case of defects, we'll remedy the situation through repair or replacement at our discretion. If rectification fails, you can choose a price reduction or contract withdrawal. Rectification is considered unsuccessful after the second attempt unless circumstances indicate otherwise. For rectification, we're not obligated to cover additional costs resulting from shipping to a location other than the place of performance, provided it doesn't align with the item's intended use.

c) The warranty period is one year from goods delivery. This shortened period doesn't apply:

- To damages we're responsible for, caused intentionally, or by gross negligence, affecting life, body, or health;
- If we fraudulently hide a defect or provide a guarantee for the item's quality;
- For items used in line with their standard purpose for a building, causing its defect;
- To legal recourse claims linked to warranty rights against us.

§ 11 Choice of Law

(1) The governing law is German. For consumers, this choice of law is applicable only to the extent that it does not diminish the protection afforded to them by mandatory provisions of the law of their habitual residence (principle of favorability).

(2) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) explicitly do not apply.
