1. scope of application

The following General Terms and Conditions govern the contractual relationship between the participant (hereinafter referred to as "Participant") in the seminar "PR and Media Work with the Ferris Bühler Method" (hereinafter referred to as "Event") and Ferris Bühler Communications GmbH, Stadtturmstrasse 8, 5400 Baden (hereinafter referred to as "Organizer"). Deviating or supplementary provisions in the general terms and conditions of the participant are not valid.

In addition, the "General Notes" attached to the respective event programs, which are included in the seminar catalog, apply.

2. registration/registration confirmation

Participants can register via the Internet, letter, telephone or e-mail. Receipt of the registration will be confirmed by e-mail. However, this confirmation of receipt does not yet lead to the conclusion of the seminar contract and to a binding registration. Only when the organizer has checked the registration and confirmed by e-mail that the participant's registration is binding does the seminar contract between the participant and the organizer come into effect. The seminar contract is subject to the condition subsequent that the minimum number of participants specified in the seminar catalog is reached.

The participant will be informed accordingly no later than 7 working days before the date of the event. The participant should only book his/her travel and accommodation after receiving this confirmation.

3. cancelations

Cancellation of participation in an event by the participant is possible for a processing fee of CHF 50.00 up to six weeks before the start of the respective event via the Internet, letter, telephone or e-mail. Cancellations up to four weeks before the start of the event are subject to half the participation fee, thereafter the full participation fee, unless a replacement participant is provided. Rebookings will be treated in the same way as cancelations.

4. cancellation of events

If it is not possible to hold the event due to force majeure or for other organizational or economic reasons (e.g. due to illness of the speaker without a replacement speaker being available), the organizer is entitled to cancel the event. The participants will be informed immediately. In this case, the event fee will be refunded. Any further claims, in particular compensation for travel and accommodation costs and loss of working hours, are excluded. Liability in accordance with clause 8 remains unaffected by this.

5. changes to the course of the event

The organizer reserves the right to replace announced speakers with others and to change the schedule of the events or to replace, rearrange or cancel individual lectures of an event, provided that this does not affect the overall character of the event.
