Terms and conditions of online events

• 1.1 For the business relationship between The Workademy GmbH – Ehrenbergstrasse 6, 10245 Berlin (hereinafter "Organizer") – and the participants of the online bootcamp (hereinafter "Customers"), the following general terms and conditions (hereinafter "GTC") apply exclusively in their at the time of Order valid version. We do not recognize conflicting, deviating, or supplementary general terms and conditions, nor do they become part of the contract.
• 1.2 Entrepreneur is a natural or legal person or a legal partnership who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity (§ 14 BGB).
• 1.3 A consumer within the meaning of these terms and conditions is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for a purpose that can predominantly neither be attributed to their commercial nor their independent professional activity (§ 13 BGB). Participants who take part in the seminars through their employer are not consumers, because it is not they themselves who are contractual partners of the Organizer, but their employer (for example, if the employer books the seminar for its employees).

• 2.1 The Organizer offers online training courses on its platform, which are provided in various forms of teaching and implementation (e.g. as a chat-supported lecture, discussion or workshop, as a live webinar or video course).
• 2.2 Prices, details, and conditions of the individual events can be found in the respective product description in the online shop.

The participant is also obliged to keep the data provided, in particular the contact details, up to date.
• 3.3 After receipt of payment, the Organizer will confirm by email that the order has been completed. Only then is a contract concluded between the Organizer and the participant. The Workademy events (seminars/webinars/bootcamps) listed on the website do not constitute an offer in the legal sense.

• 7.2 The participant undertakes to protect the copyrights and to use the live webinars/video courses individually for their own use only within the framework of the contractual agreement.

The term of the contract is determined by the respective description of the online event. The participant's contractual obligations, in particular the obligation to pay, exist regardless of whether the participant actually attends the booked event.

• 9.1 The Workademy GmbH reserves the right to cancel the events up to 4 working days before the scheduled date if the minimum number of participants is not reached.
