The applicability of other general terms and conditions (including those of the purchaser) is excluded.

Amendments and supplements to any provision in the contract shall be valid only if laid down in writing and signed by both parties.
If any provision of these General Terms and Conditions or the contract is invalid for any reason, the provisions contained herein shall remain in force in all other respects.

The term "written" with respect to communication between the Supplier and the purchaser shall also be understood to include electronic communication. The electronic system of the Supplier is deemed to be the only proof of the content and time of receipt and dispatch of the electronic communication concerned.
The offer of the Supplier is exclusively directed to customers who act in the course of a profession or business.
3. Realisation of the Agreement
The contract for following a programme will be concluded by the Customer signing the appropriate registration form or by digital registration by the Customer in accordance with the Supplier's specified registration conditions, followed by written notification by the Supplier of the Customer's acceptance and the (additional) Participant in the programme designated by the Supplier to the Supplier.
The Provider will inform the potential Customer as quickly as possible by email to the email address provided by the party concerned whether they (or the (additional) Participant) have been accepted into the programme or not.
As long as the notification referred to in Article 3.2 has not taken place, no agreement on following a programme will come into being, and the Customer may cancel the registration.
The Agreement to follow an online learning programme is concluded by the digital registration of a customer, in accordance with the indicated registration conditions, aimed at the conclusion of an agreement to follow an online learning programme.
The Agreement to purchase a Product is concluded by the Customer electronically accepting the online offer from the Provider and complying with the conditions set therein.
Offers made by the Supplier are not binding until an agreement has been concluded between the Supplier and the Customer.
4. Prices
Prices are non-binding unless specified in a contract. The most up-to-date prices of the Provider shall be stated in the contract.
The prices quoted by the Provider are exclusive of VAT and exclusive of all other taxes, duties or charges due in connection with the performance of the contract. The Provider has a business in the Canary Islands and is therefore subject to the 0% VAT rate with most services provided.
Travel and accommodation costs in connection with following parts of a programme on site and costs of recommended literature are not included in the prices of a programme unless expressly agreed otherwise.
5. Payment and invoicing
The Customer must pay the amounts owed no later than on the agreed payment dates or within the agreed payment periods. Customer is not entitled to suspend its payment obligations, not even in the event of complaints.

If the Customer has not paid the full amount due within an agreed payment period or no later than an agreed payment date, the Customer shall be legally in default without any notice of default being required. From the day the Customer is in default until the day of full payment, the Customer shall owe default interest of 1.5% on the amount owed per month or part thereof, whereby part of a month shall count as a full month. This applies without prejudice to the Supplier's right to full compensation for damages based on the law.
All costs of collection of the amount owed by the Customer, both judicial and extrajudicial, shall be for the Customer's account. These include the costs of seizure, bankruptcy applications, collection costs and the costs of lawyers, bailiffs and other experts engaged by the Supplier. The extrajudicial collection costs are deemed to be at least 15% of the amount to be collected and are at least € 75.
The purchaser must lodge complaints concerning invoices with the Supplier by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt at the latest within 8 days of the invoice date, failing which invoices shall be deemed to have been accepted and approved by the purchaser and complaints in that regard shall no longer be accepted.
Incoming payments shall always serve to settle judicial and extrajudicial costs and interest, and shall subsequently serve to settle the oldest outstanding payment obligations with the Supplier, irrespective of any other instructions by the purchaser.

Every claim against the Supplier, except a claim recognised by the Supplier, lapses by the mere lapse of 12 months after the claim arose.
The Supplier's employees may invoke all contractual defences against the customer/participant as if they were parties to the contract themselves.
11. Force majeure
In the event that the Provider is prevented by force majeure of a permanent or temporary nature from (further) performing the contract, irrespective of whether the force majeure could have been foreseen, the Provider shall be entitled, without any obligation to pay damages, to terminate the contract in whole or in part by written notification without judicial intervention, without prejudice to the Provider's right to demand payment from the Customer for any performance by the Provider prior to the situation of force majeure, or to suspend (further) performance of the contract in whole or in part.
The Supplier shall inform the Customer/participant as soon as possible of the force majeure situation. If possible, the parties shall consult with each other in an attempt to find a solution, such as, in the case of illness of a teacher/trainer, rescheduling of programmed activities.
In the event of suspension, the Provider will still be entitled to fully or partially terminate the Agreement.
Force majeure includes all circumstances as a result of which the Provider is temporarily or permanently unable to meet its obligations, such as illness or death of a teacher/trainer, riots, war, power failures, computer failures, internet failures, (mobile) phone failures and furthermore all circumstances whereby the Provider cannot reasonably be expected to (further) meet its obligations towards the Customer/participant.
