2. Registration, conclusion of the contract
Registration for a chargeable event organized by GeProS can be idone by online-shopping on our pages, or via mail, fax or email using the registration form which can be obtained from GeProS or by informal registration naming title, date and price of the event or number and date of the offer respectively. In the event of preliminary registration by phone, a written registration must be submitted subsequently. Prior to the beginning of the event, the participant / client will receive confirmation of the registration or the order in writing, provided the registration is received in good time.
The contract is concluded on receipt of the binding confirmation of the registration / order by the participant / client.

3. Reversal / cancellation
Cancellation by the participant must be in writing.
If GeProS receives a cancellation up until 14 days prior to an event, 25% of the fees for the event will be charged. In the event of rescission at a later stage, 75% of the fees for the event become due.Registration can be transferred to other participants.GeProS reserves the right to cancel confirmed events for organizational or other reasons (e.g. insufficient number of participants) up until 14 days prior to the beginning of the event. GeProS will then endeavour to offer alternative events. In the event of reversal or cancellation of an event no claims can be asserted against GeProS.
In the event of failure at short notice to assign the promised trainer, e.g. due to accident or illness, GeProS will endeavour to find and assign an adequate substitute. If in individual cases this is not possible, GeProS at any time reserves the right to defer the date of the event. Claims due to deferment cannot be asserted against GeProS.

4. Qualification of participants
Qualifications required for the participation in the event are quoted in the description of the event or in the offer. GeProS reserves the right not to admit participants to an event or to uninvite participants from an event which has already started if it becomes apparent that the participant obviously does not have the qualifications required. In this event claims for complete or partial reimbursement of the fees for the event cannot be asserted.

5. Fees for the event
The conditions quoted in the price list valid at the time of the confirmation of the order / registration apply. Non-attendance or part-time attendance at the event does not warrant a reduction of the fee. The fee includes documentation. Costs for travel and accommodation of the participants are not included. Costs for travel and accommodation of the trainer(s) are included in the fee.
For events with a duration of up to five days, the fee plus VAT will be invoiced after completion of the event. For events of a longer duration, the fee plus VAT will be invoiced 5 days after the beginning of the event. Invoices are payable without discount upon receipt. If the invoiced amount is not received within 30 days after the date of the invoice, GeProS has the right to claim interest on arrears.The rate of interest on arrears is 10 % p.a. above the discount rate of Deutsche Bundesbank effective at the time of calculation.
The participant may claim a set-off only if the participant‘s counterclaims are undisputed or have become res judicata.
