The BvD e.V. reserves the right to cancel open events if the number of participants is too low and to offer alternative dates if possible. Participants will be informed immediately of any changes in this respect. In this case, the seminar fee already paid will be refunded. The content and course of the seminar program as well as the assignment of the trainers may be changed while maintaining the overall character of the event. This does not entitle the participants to withdraw from the contract or to reduce the invoice amount.

If the event is canceled due to illness of the trainer, force majeure or other unforeseeable events, there is no entitlement to the seminar being held. This also applies to claims for compensation for travel and accommodation costs and loss of working hours.
