§3 ORGANIZATION OF CLASSES
- The Seller provides educational services to the Participant, which includes conducting classes that the Seller has undertaken to organize as individual or group sessions, as well as preparing necessary learning materials.

§4 SCHEDULE

- a) The Customer/Participant is required to inform the Seller of the change in class date no later than 24 hours before the planned class (e.g., via SMS/email or by any other accepted method).
- b) The Customer/Participant can cancel a maximum of 2 classes per month.
- c) Classes are considered completed if their scheduled time has not been changed as described above. In such a case, absence from the classes does not exempt the Customer/Participant from the obligation to pay for the classes that took place according to the schedule and which the Seller was prepared to conduct.
- In the event of absence from classes, the Participant may receive access to the prepared class materials. For this purpose, the Participant contacts the Seller, providing an email address to which the materials should be made available/sent (unless the materials have already been provided on the material platform).

- The Seller is not responsible for irregularities related to participation in online classes if the cause lies with the Customer/Participant or other entities whose services the Customer/Participant uses (e.g., internet service provider), which may directly/indirectly affect the ability to use the Seller’s services.
- In the event of technical problems as mentioned in point 3, preventing participation in the classes, the classes will be considered completed.
- In the event of technical problems on the Seller’s side or the supporting entities assisting the Seller in fulfilling the agreement, which prevent the classes from being conducted in whole or in part, these classes, in whole or in part, will be rescheduled for another date.

- In the case when materials are provided through platforms such as Zoom/Skype or Google Meet/Google Classroom application or any other platform, the Participant will need access to these platforms. The Seller will provide the Participant with instructions on how to gain access to these platforms.
§6 TERMINATION OF THE AGREEMENT
- The Customer has the right to terminate the agreement without stating a reason by means of a clear expression of will, with a notice period of 1 month (for group classes) or 2 weeks (for individual classes).
- Termination of the Agreement should be done by submitting a declaration of termination of the Agreement in written or electronic form (e.g., via email).
- The Seller has the right to terminate the agreement for valid reasons indicated in these Terms and Conditions, as well as in the event of a significant breach of the Terms and Conditions and the Agreement by the Customer/Participant – after prior notification to cease the violations and setting an appropriate additional deadline, under the penalty of termination of the Agreement immediately. Significant breaches include, in particular, failure to pay the fees for the classes, actions taken by the Customer/Participant that hinder or impede the conduct of the classes.
- Upon termination of the agreement, the Seller settles the fees paid.
- If payment for the classes has been made in an amount higher than the amount corresponding to the number of classes completed by the expiration date of the notice period/termination of the Agreement and the expenses incurred by the Seller for the proper performance of the Agreement, the Organizer refunds the overpayment to the Customer immediately but no later than within 14 days from the date of termination of the agreement. The overpayment is refunded to the Customer’s account from which the payment was made unless the Customer indicates otherwise.
- If payment for the classes has been made in an amount lower than the amount corresponding to the number of classes completed by the expiration date of the notice period/termination of the Agreement and the expenses incurred by the Seller for the proper performance of the Agreement, the Customer is obliged to settle the underpayment (the missing amount) immediately but no later than within 14 days from the date of the request.
§7 AMENDMENT OF THE AGREEMENT
- The Seller reserves the right to make changes to the Terms and Conditions for valid reasons, especially in the event of a significant change in economic factors (e.g., due to increased burdens and public fees, increased administrative fees), provided that there is a causal relationship between such change and the change in the costs of providing services by the Seller, as well as due to changes in legal regulations (including the Civil Code, Consumer Rights Act) or decisions and judgments to the extent that they require the Seller to make changes.
- The Customer will be notified by email or in writing of any changes to the Terms and Conditions no later than 14 days before the planned date of implementing the changes.
- By notifying the Customer of the changes as mentioned in point 1, the Seller informs that if the Customer does not object to these changes before the effective date of the changes, it will be deemed that the Customer has agreed to them.
- The Customer has the right to terminate the agreement with immediate effect before the effective date of the changes.
- If the Customer objects to the changes but does not terminate the agreement, the agreement will be terminated on the day preceding the effective date of the changes to the Terms and Conditions.
- The procedure mentioned in points 1-5 does not apply to the change in the form of conducting classes from in-person classes to online classes. If, for valid reasons, it is difficult or impossible to conduct in-person classes, especially in the event of a declared state of epidemic, epidemiological threat, state of emergency, or the introduction of other restrictions that hinder or prevent the conduct of in-person classes, including as a result of administrative restrictions or recommendations from the Chief Sanitary Inspector, or when a change in the form of conducting classes is justified by significant safety considerations for the Seller and Participants. In such circumstances, until they cease to exist, the Customer agrees to change the form of conducting classes from in-person to online. Detailed information regarding the requirements for online classes has been specified in § 4 of the Terms and Conditions (Online Classes).
- The change in the form of conducting classes as mentioned in § 7 point 6:
- a) does not constitute a change to the Agreement/Terms and Conditions and does not require an annex,
- b) does not provide a basis for terminating the agreement/withdrawing from the agreement,
- c) does not provide a basis for changing the amount of fees for classes.
- A change in the class schedule for reasons attributable to the Seller as mentioned in § 4 and § 5 (Schedule and Online Classes) does not constitute a change to the agreement. If the Participant is unable to make up for the missed classes in the new schedule proposed by the Seller, the fee for those classes will be refunded or carried over to the next settlement period, according to the Customer’s decision.
