General Terms and Conditions (GTC)

In order to avoid misunderstandings, I would like to familiarize you with the general terms and conditions. Please read them carefully. If you have any questions or uncertainties, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Number of participants

The number of participants is limited to eight per course. Places are allocated on a first come, first served basis.

Minimum age

The minimum age for course participation is 18 years.

Payment of the course fee

Once you have registered, you will receive an invoice with a payment slip. This must be paid by the payment date printed on the invoice, but no later than 10 days before the start of the course. 

Registration is binding and obliges you to pay the course fee. Non-payment of the course fee is not considered a withdrawal.

The course fee will not be refunded if the course is not taken up or not attended.

Deregistration

Deregistration from a course involves administrative effort. We therefore charge a processing fee of CHF 30. If the cancellation is made less than one week before the start of the course, the entire course fee must be paid. 

Making up for missed lessons

Lessons that are not attended cannot be made up. This also applies in the event of illness or absence (e.g. vacation) of the course participant.

If a course day cannot take place because the instructor is unable to attend, it will be added to the end of the course block.

There are no courses during official holidays.

Materials

Materials are not included unless this is explicitly mentioned in the course description (e.g. sewing course for beginners).

Delivery of the course and duration

The implementation of the course and its consideration is subject to change.

A sewing course normally lasts 8 consecutive weeks on the same day of the week at the same time.

Overlock workshops take place on a Saturday.

Sewing courses for beginners take place on a Saturday.

Pattern courses take place every 14 days on four predefined half-days. 

As a rule, it is not possible to jump from one course to another. Special arrangements and offers reserved.

Machines brought along

Machines brought along (e.g. overlock machines) must be in working order. There is no entitlement to make up or refund the course due to a defective machine.

Insurance

Damage to equipment, in particular to sewing machines and appliances, will be charged to the participant, especially if this is due to improper use. The instructions of the course instructor must be strictly followed.
