General Terms and Conditions

Every participant is subject to the house rules and must comply with the instructions of the teaching staff. Participation in the courses is at the participant's own risk. Any pre-existing medical conditions that may be important for the execution of the training must be communicated to the teaching staff, but this does not release the participant from their personal responsibility.
Smoking is not permitted in the studio rooms.
We allow people of all origins, religions, or genders to enter our premises.
Anyone who grossly violates the rules of decency will be banned from the premises without leniency. However, course and subscription fees must continue to be paid until the end of the cancellation period.
Any damage to property within the school premises will be repaired at the expense of the person who caused it.
The studio's holidays are the same as those in North Rhine-Westphalia. During holiday months, the course schedule may change, and there may be operational holidays. Any changes will be communicated in advance. There is no right to make up for missed lessons during this time.
SweatnDance reserves the right to make reasonable changes to the opening hours and course offerings.
The concluded contract is valid indefinitely until it is terminated by either party with the notice period specified in the contract, effective at the end of the month.
If a contract is not concluded on the 1st of a month, the first month's fee will be adjusted and charged on a pro-rata basis. Subsequent payments will be due on the 1st of each month in advance.
Monthly payments are usually made via SEPA direct debit. Other payment methods are possible by agreement. In this case, monthly payments must be credited to our account by the 5th of each month. In case of a returned direct debit due to insufficient funds, the account holder will pay the bank fees of €3 plus a processing fee of €5.
In the case of illness or vacation, there is no right to a refund or to make up missed lessons. In case of prolonged illness or injury lasting 4 weeks or more, the contract can be paused upon presentation of a medical certificate. In case of pregnancy, the contract can also be paused with a maternal health certificate for the duration of the pregnancy.
A break can only be granted for full membership months. SweatnDance does not grant a break for already terminated memberships. During an existing break, a termination may be issued. The break period does not count towards the notice period. Thus, any potential notice period will start on the first day after the break ends. The right to terminate for an important reason remains unaffected.
If the contract partner falls behind in payments by more than two months, the entire annual fee becomes due immediately.
Regardless of the cancellation conditions, a fee adjustment based on cost development can be made with a one-month notice period at the end of the quarter, but this will only happen once per year.
In the case of force majeure, no compensation can be claimed.
Every participant of SweatnDance who attends one of the offered courses agrees that image and video material of them may be created and used for advertising purposes.

b. The validity of 5- and 10-lesson cards starts from the date of purchase and is valid for 6 months.

Participation conditions for courses with prior registration in our online system:

a. Due to the limited number of trampolines, equipment, etc., prior reservation through the booking system on www.sweatndance.com or www.sweatndance.coursika.de is required. The link is available on the homepage www.sweatndance.com under "Registration for our courses." Courses must be paid for in advance using purchased "credits," which can be obtained via www.sweatndance.com or www.sweatndance.coursika.de. Payment can only be made via PayPal or direct debit. The courses included are as of January 1, 2020:

SweatnDance reserves the right to include other courses in this regulation.

b. Due to limited participant capacity, further bookings for a course are not possible once it is fully booked. If a contract customer registers for a course but does not attend without timely cancellation, they block the booking of the same course for other interested participants.

c. Course cancellations with prior registration: Cancellations can be made free of charge up to 12 hours before the course start time exclusively via the course booking system on the website. In case of timely cancellation, the credits for the canceled course will be refunded to the customer's account. No credits will be refunded for late cancellations or cancellations made outside the booking system.

d. SweatnDance has the right to cancel a course for an important reason, such as illness of the instructor. SweatnDance may also cancel a course if the minimum number of participants (4) is not reached, which is required for the course to take place. The number of registrations up to 12 hours before the course start time will determine if the course can proceed. In this case, the customer will be contacted by email.

e. Special regulation for SweatnDance members: Members who fail to cancel a booked course at least 12 hours before the start time will be charged a flat compensation fee of €5 per affected course.

Guarantees, Liability, Rights, and Obligations of the Customer:
