- Termination, Withdrawal, Transfer, Cancellation, Force Majeure
Generally, a withdrawal from the concluded contract for no reason is not possible.
If a seminar was booked online, MAWIBA grants the PARTICIPANT a contractual right to withdraw from the concluded contract without giving reasons up to 14 calendar days from the booking of the seminar, but at the latest until 23:59 (CEST time zone) on the day before the start of the training seminar via email and with confirmation from MAWIBA. The starting day is the first day of a booked on-site seminar or in the case of an online MAWIBA seminar/online additional module the day that the PARTICIPANT selected as the start date when registering.
If the start date was subsequently postponed to a later date at the initiative of the participant and with written confirmation by MAWIBA, then in case of later cancellation, the originally specified start date still applies for calculating the deadlines specified below.
Should the PARTICIPANT not be able to attend a seminar to the end for compelling health reasons, MAWIBA will credit the PARTICIPANT proportionally for the missed modules. The PARTICIPANT can make up these remaining modules after consultation with MAWIBA in one of the next seminars. No refund will be made. The credited seminars/modules expire after 12 months.
Should the PARTICIPANT want to postpone an already booked seminar (on-site training, online training or practical workshop) to another course location or another course date, this is possible against a processing fee of € 49,- for online or on-site training and € 29,- for the practical workshop. This processing fee is waived if the rebooking is necessary for compelling health reasons and a medical certificate is submitted to MAWIBA no later than 7 days after the original seminar start.
Should the seminar participant cancel the training, the following cancellation fees are to be paid to MAWIBA:
up to the 60th day before training start – € 125.00
from the 59th day to the 30th day before training start – € 250.00
from the 29th day before training start 100% of the agreed training costs. However, the booked seminar can be postponed to another course location and / or date after consultation with MAWIBA.
The transfer of a concluded contract to another person is only possible after consultation and with the consent of MAWIBA before the training has started and only after payment of the full seminar price to MAWIBA has been made. MAWIBA assumes no responsibility for any refunds between the PARTICIPANT and third parties arising from such transfers. The person to whom the contract is to be transferred must be provided by the PARTICIPANT.
MAWIBA reserves the right to postpone an on-site seminar due to unforeseeable circumstances, force majeure, or failure to reach the minimum number of participants (min. 3 participants). Likewise, MAWIBA reserves the right to change trainers, seminar dates, or seminar locations for the aforementioned reasons.
In all cases, MAWIBA immediately informs all registered course participants and finds a practical replacement solution. Corresponding solution options are a replacement date or free rebooking to another MAWIBA seminar at the same location or the online MAWIBA seminar with the desired start date and flexible time allocation. A refund of the payment already made to the PARTICIPANT is generally not possible.
Termination of the MAWIBA trainer franchise contract can be made by both parties at any time with immediate effect after confirmation of receipt of the termination by MAWIBA without giving reasons. From the receipt of the termination, the trainer’s right to advertise or offer MAWIBA courses ends and the trainer’s access to all MAWIBA data, email platforms, and online appearances of MAWIBA, including groups, blogs, and social media, are immediately blocked.
