Booking

Our events must be booked in writing by post, email or fax. A contract for the engineers' event is only concluded after the engineers have confirmed the booking to the customer in writing.

Payments

The invoice amount must be transferred to the account given with the invoice within 14 days of the invoice being issued.

Participant participation in the events as agreed.

We will then inform you as soon as possible via the address, telephone number or email address you provided. In these cases, any amounts already paid will be refunded. Further claims, in particular reimbursement of cancellation or rebooking fees and claims for compensation for damages of any kind, cannot be derived from the cancellation of events.
