1. The wishes of the contractual partner regarding postponement of training sessions once a course has already begun can be satisfied if the contractual partner informs PROAKTIV® Management Asia Ltd. of this wish in writing at least four weeks before the relevant training session, and if PROAKTIV® Management Asia Ltd. can offer an alternative date. If this notice period is not observed or the alternative date is not feasible, the contractual partner shall undertake to pay the cancellation fees agreed under Article 6 no 2 and 3. Should the postponed training session also fail to take place on the agreed alternative date, this postponement shall be treated as a cancellation according to no 3 a) of the General Terms and Conditions, regardless of the time of cancellation.

 

2. The following regulations shall apply to any cancellation of a training session:

 

3. In the event of cancellation of training sessions, regardless of the reason for cancellation and taking into account the expenses saved, the following cancellation fee shall be incurred, which is to be paid to PROAKTIV® Management Asia Ltd. and is due on the day of cancellation:

7. For each cancellation or postponement, PROAKTIV® Management Asia Ltd. shall charge a handling fee of 10% of the overall cost.

 

8. Insofar as no cancellation has been submitted to PROAKTIV® Management Asia Ltd. before the start of a training session and a trainer commissioned by PROAKTIV® Management Asia Ltd. has arrived for the relevant training day, PROAKTIV® Management Asia Ltd. is entitled to full compensation for personnel and administration costs incurred to date for the relevant training session booked.

 

 

§ 7     Quality assurance for the training sessions

 

The training sessions commissioned by the contractual partner shall be performed in accordance with the quality standards of PROAKTIV® Management Asia Ltd.

The objectives of the communication and behavioural training sessions shall be planned individually together with the contractual partner. The training sessions are exclusively run by trainers who meet the quality standard of PROAKTIV® Management Asia Ltd.

In cases of breach of fundamental contractual obligations, there shall also be liability for slight negligence.
