General terms and conditions

SCOPE OF APPLICATION

These General Terms and Conditions (GTC) apply to every booking made by PokerAcademy (hereinafter referred to as "PA" or "Organizer") and govern the business relationship between PA and the Customer. With the placing of the order these are considered as accepted by the business partner. If special conditions apply to certain events, these will be explicitly mentioned in the respective invitation to tender. These GTC are applicable to all events taking place.

BOOKING AND CONCLUSION OF CONTRACT

The booking can be made in writing or by telephone to the PA. With the receipt of the written or telephone confirmation at the PA, a contract between the two parties is concluded. From this moment the rights and obligations from the contract become effective according to the OR.

Subject matter of the contract

The organizer undertakes to provide the services for that activity, which he offers according to the descriptions in his offer. Special requests can be considered after consultation with the PA. Any additional costs will be borne by the customer.

Prices, Fees

The prices for the activities can be taken from the delivered offer or the order confirmation and are in Swiss francs. Prices are expressly subject to change. For additional services up to CHF 120.00 per hour can be charged. As a rule, additional costs will be discussed with the customer in advance.

Terms of payment

For new customers and private customers, an advance payment is usually required. For recurring customers, the final invoice is issued after the end of the event. This is to be paid within ten (10) days after receipt of the invoice. If payments are not made on time, the organizer is entitled to withhold the services or to cancel the contract. Any cancellation costs shall be claimed from the customer in accordance with clause 6. Invoices for ordered vouchers are to be paid like short-term, definite bookings in any case (also in case of cancellation!). A payment period of 5 days applies. The vouchers can also be sent by e-mail on request.

CANCELLATION OR MODIFICATION OF THE BOOKING BY THE CUSTOMER

Up to 14 days before the event: CHF 200.00

Photos taken at trade fairs may be made public without the explicit permission of the person photographed. If you find yourself in pictures and do not consent to publication, please contact us immediately. E-mail addresses of customers and course participants are usually automatically entered into our newsletter system.
