TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Scope of Application
These Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) apply to all contracts for individual online German lessons concluded between myself and the client via the website Deutschklar. Any deviating agreements must be made in writing.
Subject Matter and Formation of Contract
The subject matter of this contract is the provision of individual online German lessons via video conference. The contract becomes legally binding as soon as you submit the completed registration form on the website Deutschklar and expressly accept these Terms and Conditions.
Right of Withdrawal and Compensation
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the date of the conclusion of the contract. To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform me of your decision by means of a clear statement (e.g. via email).
Note on Compensation: By registering, you expressly request that I begin providing the services before the end of the withdrawal period. In the event of a withdrawal, you must pay a reasonable amount of compensation for the services already provided up to that point.
Termination of Contract
Following the expiry of the statutory 14-day right of withdrawal, you may terminate the collaboration at any time by giving one month's notice. Termination must be submitted in writing via email without providing any reasons. The contractual relationship will end one month after receipt of the termination notice.
Payment Terms
Invoicing for lessons is carried out monthly in arrears via email for the hours provided in the previous month. The invoice amount is due for payment within two weeks of receipt of the invoice.
Cancellation of Scheduled Sessions
Scheduled lessons may be rescheduled or cancelled free of charge via email until 12:00 pm on the day before the appointment. For cancellations made after 12:00 pm on the preceding day, or in the event of a no-show, the full fee for the planned session remains due. Should I be required to cancel an appointment, the lesson will be rescheduled at the earliest opportunity.
Technical Requirements and Disruptions
It is your responsibility to ensure that the technical requirements for the lessons are met. These requirements will be tested together during the initial, non-binding session. Should it be impossible to continue a lesson due to unforeseen connection issues, the lost time will be rescheduled for a later date. There is no entitlement to a refund.
Learning Materials and Copyright
Coursebooks: The two textbooks required for your course cost 34.00 Euros per language level. These are to be ordered and paid for independently by you following registration.
Copyright: All materials created and provided by me are protected by copyright. They are intended exclusively for your personal use and may not be reproduced or shared with third parties without my express consent.
Prohibition of Recording
Any audio or video recording, as well as the taking of screenshots during live lessons, including their reproduction or distribution, is strictly prohibited.
Data Protection
Personal data are collected for the purposes of conducting lessons and invoicing. Your data is handled in accordance with the applicable provisions of the GDPR. For detailed information, please refer to the separate Privacy Policy on Deutschklar.
Liability
The lessons are designed to the best of my knowledge and based on many years of experience. However, a specific learning outcome or the achievement of a particular examination goal is not guaranteed, as this depends significantly on the individual cooperation, diligence, and preparation of the participant.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply to our collaboration. Mandatory consumer protection rights at your place of residence remain unaffected. Unless you are a private end consumer, my place of business shall be the exclusive place of jurisdiction.
Severability Clause
Should any parts or individual formulations of these Terms and Conditions be invalid, the content and validity of the remaining parts shall remain unaffected. Any invalid formulations or parts are to be replaced by legally permissible provisions that most closely approximate the intended content and economic impact of the invalid ones.
