General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

On May 25, 2018, the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will go into effect across all European Union markets. We believe this presents a new opportunity for marketers to strengthen their brand loyalty by focusing on consumer privacy while delivering amazing experiences. Think of it as experiential privacy — having privacy be a key part of the customer experience, through relevant privacy notices presented in context and choices that are on brand.

TERMS & CONDITIONS

CONDITIONS OF USE

All services within the scope of our teaching, further education, training and education are based on these general terms and conditions. Other terms and conditions of the customer are only valid if they have been confirmed in writing by the IST-Studio (Walter Kafritsas). The same applies to changes and additions to these General Terms and Conditions. Verbal promises and additional agreements require the written confirmation of the management. Please read them carefully. ​

ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS

When you visit our Website or send e-mails to us, you are communicating with us electronically. You consent to receive communications from us electronically. We will communicate with you by e-mail or by posting notices on this site. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

BOOKINGS - REGISTRATION AND DATA STORAGE

You can register by telephone, in writing, by e-mail and on the Internet via our booking module. With your registration and its acceptance by the IST-Studio (Walter Kafritsas) or its representatives, a contract and thus a binding obligation to pay comes into effect with the acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions. You will receive a confirmation of registration from us immediately (date of conclusion of the contract or booking). However, the confirmation email is not a guarantee for the course place. Since the number of participants for our seminars is limited, we consider the registrations in the order of their receipt. Your data will be stored electronically for internal purposes and will not be passed on to third parties. Order processing is carried out within the IST-Studio (Walter Kafritsas) with the help of automatic data processing. With his registration, the customer gives his explicit consent to the processing of his data as far as it is required for the order processing by the IST-Studio (Walter Kafritsas). The customer also agrees that the IST-Studio (Walter Kafritsas) may use the data obtained from the business relationship with him/her for business purposes within the IST-Studio (Walter Kafritsas) in accordance with the Data Protection Act.

FEES

The fees for attending classes, seminars and training courses are due for payment within seven days after online booking or invoicing. In Spain, VAT is included in the fees. Attending classes or seminars only part of the time does not entitle you to a reduction of the fee. If the payment deadline is exceeded, we are entitled to charge interest on arrears or processing fees for due reminders. 

CANCELLATION

Cancellation must be made in writing in any case, whereby e-mail is sufficient or via the cancellation option of the booking module. Verbal cancellations are invalid. In the event that classes are cancelled due to a circumstance for which the IST-Studio (Walter Kafritsas) is responsible and an alternative event and/or date is not agreed upon, the IST-Studio (Walter Kafritsas) will refund the fees paid. Further claims are excluded. This does not apply to intentional and grossly negligent breaches of duty by the IST-Studio (Walter Kafritsas) or intentional and grossly negligent breaches of duty by a legal representative or vicarious agent of the IST-Studio (Walter Kafritsas).
