The general terms and conditions apply to all contractual relationships between Cambridge Institut GmbH and its customers.
By signing the registration form, the customer acknowledges the validity of the general terms and conditions. Cambridge Institut GmbH does not accept any conflicting, deviating, or supplementary conditions from the customer. No verbal side agreements have been made for this contract. Changes to this contract through individual contractual agreements are effective informally. In all other respects, changes to this contract require written form to be effective; verbal agreements to waive this written form requirement are void.
Binding registration for a course can be made in person at the Cambridge Institut GmbH office, by mail, online through our website, or via email to info@cambridgeinstitut.de using the corresponding registration form.
The contract is concluded when a registration is made in person or by mail and confirmed as possible by Cambridge Institut GmbH. The confirmation is made by providing/sending a corresponding written confirmation.
For registrations by email or online through our website, the customer initially receives an automatically generated email confirming the receipt of their registration. This confirmation does not constitute a binding contract. The contract is established when Cambridge Institut GmbH subsequently sends the customer a confirmation email regarding the possibility of participation. Registration by email/online through our website is only possible up to 2 weeks before the course starts.
The minimum participation period for an ongoing course is one calendar month and is extended by one calendar month each time until the timely termination on the 20th of the previous month (see § 7).
1. The course fee is determined by the current fee schedule, which becomes part of the instructional contract. For ongoing evening courses, no fee is charged for the month of August. If the course is extended according to § 3, the current fee schedule for the respective course applies for the new calendar month, which can be found at www.cambridgeinstitut.de.
2. The course fee must be paid without request by the first day of the course (see confirmation of registration), or a cost coverage statement from the employer must be provided by that time. The course fee is only valid for the booked course period and cannot be transferred to another period.
3. Payment is made by depositing the amount into the account specified below. There is also the option of granting a direct debit authorization using the SEPA direct debit form or making a cash/EC card payment at the registration.
4. The customer cannot demand replacement (make-up) for unused lessons, especially no refund of course fees for lessons not attended. However, Cambridge Institut GmbH must credit the value of what it saves or obtains through the failure to provide the service or willfully refraining from obtaining it due to other use.
5. The course fee cannot be transferred to other individuals/participants.
1. A discount of 5% or 10% on the total invoice amount is granted for advance payment of three or six course months, respectively.
2. A discount can only be given for the originally selected course.
3. There is no refund of (partial) course fees for unused services.
4. In individual cases, an interruption of participation or a change to another course can be agreed upon after consultation. A rebooking fee of €40.00 is due for this.
A course change is generally possible free of charge, depending on capacity, and can be requested for the following calendar month (exception: see § 4.4).
Cambridge Institut GmbH reserves the right to cancel a course, modify the time conditions and content of the course, or offer the participant another course if the minimum number of participants for the booked course is not reached.
1. The customer can terminate the contract by the 20th of each month for the following month. The cancellation period also expires on Sundays and holidays because deregistration online is also possible on these days; therefore, the BGB statutory regulation of § 193 does not apply. §§ 626, 627 BGB remain unaffected. Cambridge Institut GmbH can terminate the contract independently of the decision under § 6 with two months' notice to the end of the month. Continuing the contract according to § 3 through an extension is not possible beyond the date set by the termination.
2. If no timely termination is made, the contract is extended by one calendar month each time (cf. § 3), unless Cambridge Institut terminates it according to § 7 para. 1.
3. Cancellation and termination of the contract must be made in text form.
4. Cancellation before the start of the course until the first day of the contract term is possible. Registration is canceled free of charge.
5. If the customer is not satisfied after the first day of the contract term, the registration can be canceled in writing within two days without giving reasons. In this case, 100% of the course fee will be refunded to the participant.
6. In the case of late cancellation, the full fee for the respective calendar month must be paid.
1. If the course fee is not paid by the due date (see fee schedule) / by the first of the respective course month in advance, the customer is in default of payment after a reminder by Cambridge Institut GmbH unless the reminder is dispensable under § 286 para. 2 BGB.
2. In this case, Cambridge Institut reserves the right to prohibit participation in the course until payment is made.
3. In the event of default, the customer is obliged to reimburse all default damages, reminder fees of €10.00
Alternative: In the event of default, the customer is obligated to compensate Cambridge Institut GmbH for all default damages, regardless of any other claims.
1. The contractual relationship and its implementation are subject exclusively to the law of the Federal Republic of Germany, insofar as this does not deprive the customer of the protection granted to him by those provisions from which, under the law that would apply in the absence of a choice of law in accordance with Sentence 1, deviation by agreement is not permissible.
2. If the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, or if the customer does not have a general place of jurisdiction in the Federal Republic of Germany, Munich is agreed as the place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract. Otherwise, the statutory place of jurisdiction applies.
Should individual provisions of these conditions be or become invalid or void, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
