8. If the client also refers to their general terms and conditions, those terms and conditions are not applicable.

Article 2. Proposals

1. All proposals and other offers of EUROPA BS are regarded as a non-binding offer by EUROPA BS to a client. A proposal or other offer therefore does not bind EUROPA BS in any way, not even after a client has accepted EUROPA BS’s proposal and/or offer.
2. The agreement with EUROPA BS is concluded only after EUROPA BS’s written confirmation and acceptance (the order confirmation). This order confirmation serves as acceptance by EUROPA BS. An agreement is concluded when EUROPA BS sends the order confirmation.
3. EUROPA BS is not a degree granting institution. EI BS training aims to: realize a collaborative learning experience where the input and contribution of the participants will realize the opportunities for the whole study-community; helping students expanding their knowledge and providing full understanding on the different scenarios and situations that exist in the field of business; understanding meaningful concepts and apply the strategies learned for the benefit of your business organization; overcoming business challenges and reach new heights in leadership with the help of executive training programs. Such training programs must allow you to have a glimpse on new career opportunities and responsibilities as a leader.
4. All designs, drawings, models, samples, descriptions, images made and supplied by EUROPA BS, as well as all appendices and documents that are attached to EUROPA BS’s proposals and offers, will remain EUROPA BS’s property. Tools made by EUROPA BS will also remain its property. All items and goods referred to in this paragraph must be returned to EUROPA BS immediately on request and may not be copied and/or given to third parties without EUROPA BS’s express written request. EUROPA BS also reserves any existing rights from intellectual and industrial property.
5. All agreements between EUROPA BS and a client qualify, in relation to EUROPA BS’s obligations, as a best-efforts obligation and expressly not as an obligation to obtain a specific result. EUROPA BS therefore does not warrant that specific results of any nature will be achieved.

Article 3. Price

1. EUROPA BS’s prices exclude turnover tax and, unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, also exclude transport and any other costs.
2. The prices specified in proposals, contracts and order confirmations are based on the cost factors that applied when the agreement was concluded, including exchange rates, wage costs, insurance premiums, taxes and other government levies.
3. If one or more of the cost factors increase after the date on which the agreement is concluded but before the delivery date, EUROPA BS reserves the right to pass on these increases to the client. In such cases, both Parties are entitled to terminate the agreement without the need for judicial intervention and without it being held accountable and liable to pay compensation to a client as a result.

Article 4. Payment

1. Payment must be made within the period specified on the invoice and, failing that, within 15 days of the invoice date.
2. EUROPA BS is entitled at all times to require advance payment or another form of security from the client. The client is obliged to comply with such a request.
3. Payments made by the client are first allocated to settle all payable interest and costs, followed by the longest outstanding invoices, even if the client states that the payment relates to a later invoice.
4. If payment is not made by the due date, the client will be in default by operation of law as from the following day and liable, inter alia, to pay statutory interest on the full invoice amount.
5. If EUROPA BS must take action to collect outstanding invoices, the client is moreover liable to pay the extrajudicial costs equal to fifteen per cent of the outstanding receivable(s), subject to a minimum of €250.00, plus all other third-party costs for the purpose of the collection.
6. The previous paragraph does not apply to agreements between EUROPA BS and natural persons who are not acting in the course of a profession or a business. If EUROPA BS’s client is a natural person who is not acting in the course of a profession or a business and this client has unpaid invoices, he/she will be liable to pay collection costs in accordance with the applicable statutory arrangement.
7. In case of no-show (non-attendance at an event in presence), the client is required to pay the entire commission and the same conditions apply as indicated in the previous paragraphs of this article.

Article 5. Hiring third parties

1. EUROPA BS is entitled at any time, and without the client’s consent, to hire third parties for the performance of the agreement entered into with the client.

Article 6. Delivery period

1. All delivery periods and dates stated by EUROPA BS are determined to the best of its knowledge and based on the information that was known to it when the agreement was concluded. However, these periods are indicative only and not binding on EUROPA BS.
2. Although EUROPA BS will observe its stated delivery periods and dates as far as possible, exceeding these periods following due communication to the client no later than 15 days before the scheduled start of the course/service provision will not cause EUROPA BS to be in default and also not make EUROPA BS liable to pay any compensation to a client. In this case, EUROPA BS shall provide compensation for the course-fees the client already payed. EUROPA BS cannot be held responsible for any further disbursement or expenses made by the client in relation to the course (i.e. airplane/train tickets/accommodation fees or others).

Article 7. Intellectual or industrial property rights

1. All intellectual property rights, including copyright, to all materials developed or provided under the agreement, including proposals, courses, training, development paths, measurement systems, training materials, designs, illustrations, software, etc., vest exclusively in EUROPA BS or its licensors.
2. In relation to the materials referred to in paragraph 1 of this article, the client receives a receives a personal, non-exclusive, limited, non-transferable, and revocable license to utilize these materials exclusively in support of the objectives and in the framework of the agreement between the parties and only for the contractually established period. Any other use of the materials as referred to in paragraph 1 and 2 is prohibited. In particular, the client is not permitted to distribute, publish, transfer, sell, rent out, encumber, amend or replicate the materials, or the content of the materials, as referred to in paragraph 1 of this article, in any way.
3. If and insofar as intellectual and other property rights relating to the performance of activities under the Agreement by EUROPA BS arise at the client, the client states that it will transfer all such intellectual and other property rights to their full legal extent to EUROPA S BS, free of charge. EUROPA BS hereby accepts that transfer. Insofar as this transfer in advance is ineffective, the client undertakes immediately on a request of EUROPA BS for that purpose to then transfer these intellectual and other property rights to EUROPA S BS.
4. As sole exception to paragraph 3 of this article, all intellectual property rights relating to the so-called “PROJECT WORK(S)” exclusively arise and rest on the client and will not be subject to any transfer to EUROPA S BS.

Article 8. Confidentiality.

1. Client will abstain from sharing any information in whatever form (i) which EUROPA BS has indicated must be regarded as confidential and/or (ii) which the client knows or reasonably ought to know is confidential in nature.
2. The Parties may not use the Confidential Information that is exchanged between them for the purpose of the Agreements other than is necessary for the performance of those Agreements. The Parties may not disclose the Confidential Information to third parties without the written consent of the other Party.

Article 9. Force majeure

1. EUROPA BS is not obliged to comply with any obligation towards the client if it is prevented from doing so because of force majeure. This means a circumstance that cannot be attributed to EUROPA BS and for which EUROPA BS is not accountable by law, a legal act or generally accepted standards.
2. For the purpose of these general terms and conditions, force majeure, in addition to its definition in legislation and case law, also means all external causes, foreseen or unforeseen, over which EUROPA BS cannot exercise any control (including any failure by EUROPA BS’s suppliers and/or the third parties that it hires to carry out an order to comply with their obligations), but which prevent EUROPA BS from complying with its obligations. This includes strikes in EUROPA BS’s business or in the business of third parties that EUROPA BS has hired to carry out an order. EUROPA BS is also entitled to rely on force majeure if the circumstance that prevents the further performance of the agreement commences after EUROPA BS should have complied with its obligation.
3. If EUROPA BS is unable to comply with its obligation to deliver, or to do so properly or on time, because of force majeure, it will be entitled to terminate the agreement, or the part that has not yet been performed, or to suspend the agreement for a fixed period or indefinitely, all at its own discretion.
4. In case of force majeure, EUROPA BS is not liable towards a client and a client cannot hold EUROPA BS accountable to pay damages (including but not limited to any travel, accommodation and cancellation costs that are incurred) or to otherwise compensate loss.

Article 10. End of the contract

1. Unless otherwise agreed in writing between the parties, EUROPA BS may notify the termination of agreements concluded orally, in writing (either by e-mail or analogically), with due observance of a 30-day notice period. The first day of this notice period is the day following the day on which EUROPA BS gives notice. After this notice and the expiration of this notice period, EUROPA BS and the customer will be released respectively from the delivery obligation and from the obligation to purchase. This does not affect the customer’s obligation to pay for goods or services that have already been delivered.

The client is declared bankrupt / put into liquidation, placed under protection, or granted a moratorium on the payment of debts; or b.

The client does not comply with the obligations established by the agreement concluded with EUROPA BS, even after receiving a notification of default, or g.

It is expressly obliged to all members of the school community to strictly observe the behavioral indications oriented towards safety and health in the workplace.
4. If one of the circumstances listed in paragraph 2 of this article occurs and EUROPA BS makes use of its right to withdraw from paragraph 2, EUROPA BS will be immediately released from its delivery obligations to the customer without the customer being released from the payment obligations pursuant to the agreement concluded with EUROPA BS. In this case, all requests that EUROPA BS has to the customer will be immediately due and payable without further notice of default.
