However, if the consumer—after purchasing the program—is unable to attend the seminar due to the Company’s fault, the Company is obliged to inform them in time about the cancellation and refund the payment within ten (10) working days.
In the event of withdrawal or cancellation by the customer up to four (4) days before the seminar, the Company will issue a refund within ten (10) working days. If cancellation occurs less than four (4) days before the seminar, no refund is provided, as the expenses concern materials already prepared for the customer (e.g., personalized certificate of attendance).
