General conditions
Article 1 – Scope of application
These General Terms and Conditions apply to all quotations, offers, every order receipt, and all agreements or contracts with regard to the products and services we offer.
These General Terms and Conditions apply to the exclusion of the general terms and conditions of the client.
Article 2 – Commissions
We reserve the right to refuse certain requests for commissions or orders without having to state reasons for doing so.
Article 3 – Offers
Our offers are indicative and non-committal. They will lapse after 30 calendar days unless they are accepted by the client.
Our offers will become legally valid as a contract as soon as the client has accepted the offer in writing.
Article 4 – Agreements and contracts
We can enter into an agreement or contract with the client as described in the quotation, offer, or order receipt.
We reserve the right to unilaterally terminate an agreement or contract at all times and without judicial intervention if the client is in a situation of bankruptcy, judicial composition, or when the client fails to meet the payment obligations.
Article 5 – Products and services
Our products and services are delivered as described in the quotation, offer, order receipt, or in the agreement or contract.
Our products or services are delivered within a reasonable period as stated in the quotation, offer, order receipt, or in the agreement or contract.
Article 6 – Events
Sending a completed registration form by electronic means is a valid proof of registration for an event and obliges the person who has registered to pay the participation fee, also in case of absence during the day of the event, annulment of the registration or withdrawal. Paid amounts cannot be recuperated. All legal remedies will be used to make sure the registered person pays the event's fee.
By sending a registration form, CALIPA Coaching is granted permission to use the registration details exclusively within the context of the registration form, for the follow-up and to contact the person registered.
The amount (price) for the event is due by electronic transfer no later than four days before the event takes place.
If one registers within 3 days before the scheduled event, the registered person has to forward a proof of payment to info@calipa.eu or bring it on the day of the event.
The registered person can only participate in the event after CALIPA Coaching has received the full amount (price) before the day of the event or when it has received a proof of payment.
In special circumstances, CALIPA Coaching reserves the right to accept cash payments on the day of the event.
In case of cancelation of a registration, CALIPA Coaching needs to be notified immediately via info@calipa.eu. The cancellation will not affect the obligation to pay the full amount.
Not participating in the activity does not entitle me to any refund.
In the event of CALIPA Coaching canceling an event, all registered participants will be notified by email without delay and all paid amounts will be refunded within 4 weeks after the scheduled event.
Article 7 – Questions and complaints
Questions regarding the delivered products, services, or invoice must be received by us in writing within five days after the invoice date.
On pain of inadmissibility, complaints regarding the delivered products, services, or invoice must be received by us by registered mail within seven days after the invoice date.
If we have not received any complaints in writing within the seven-day period after the invoice date, the client accepts the delivered products or services and the invoice, including the relevant conditions, without reservation.
Article 8 – Intellectual property
The delivered products or services will remain the property of CALIPA Coaching until all payment obligations have been met.

After the expiry of a period of 14 calendar days, a penalty clause may apply. The 14-day period begins on the third working day following the dispatch of the reminder (if the reminder is sent by post) or on the day of dispatch (if sent by email).
