3. Cancellation
3.1. Cancellations must be notified to DCA by sending an e-mail to saskia@saskiaterwelle.nl.
3.2. Cancellation of training and courses:
– In case of cancellation by you as a student later than 14 days after the start date of a course or training no refund of the course fee is possible. This cooling-off period does not apply to (online) courses that last less than 90 days.
– Cancellation by you as a student of a course or training is free of charge within the cooling-off period of 14 days after the starting date of the course, if a cooling-off period applies as in the case of courses lasting less than 90 days. The starting date is the date on which the course starts or, in the absence of a starting date, the date on which you registered for the course or training. Any course fees already paid will in this case be refunded within one month after cancellation.
3.3. Cancellation of coaching trajectories:
– If a coaching trajectory is cancelled, the cancellation period is 30 days.
– If a coaching trajectory was fully paid for at the start, the remainder will be proportionally refunded, taking into account the 30-day notice period within 1 month after cancellation.
– We do not use a trial period of 14 days for coaching programmes.
4. Force majeure
4.1. If the trainer for a training course or coach is unexpectedly unable to attend, DCA will arrange for a suitable replacement or replacement date for the course day or coaching session. When a training course, coaching session or course day is not possible, the participant(s) will be informed, after which the training will be rescheduled for another date. In this case, there will be no refund of (part of) the course fee paid.
