Participation conditions for training courses at OBO Bettermann
1. Registration
Registration for an event at the OBO Academy is possible online via our website or in writing using the registration forms available to you. The incoming registrations are reviewed in the order of their arrival up to the maximum number of participants. If your booking is successful, you will receive a written registration confirmation from us. Registration is binding. The regular registration period for any event is 14 days before the start of the event.
2. Participation fees and due date
Our prices are always to be seen as without statutory VAT. The seminar fee must be paid on receipt of the invoice, i.e. before the start of the seminar and its payment is the precondition for participation in the event.
3. Scope of service
If not expressly stated in the appropriate event description, the participation fees contain the following services: Catering according to the seminar period, refreshments, documents to accompany the seminar, working materials and a participation certificate. The costs for accommodation, arrival and departure are to be paid by the course participants themselves.
4. Certificate
After completion of the training course, each participant will receive a certificate about their participation in the event. The participant shall not be authorised, on the basis of this certificate, to pass on knowledge obtained in this training course to third parties as a service.
5. Rebooking and cancellation
Each course participant shall be authorised to name a replacement participant up to one day before the commencement of the course, stating their name and address. This rebooking shall be free of charge for the participant.
In addition, the participant shall be permitted to cancel their booked courses in writing free of charge up to 14 calendar days before the commencement of the course. In the case of cancellations arriving later, or should the participant not turn up, the entire participation fee is to be paid.
6. Rights to changes, cancellation, liability
We reserve the right to make necessary content, method or organisational changes or variants (e.g. due to legal changes) before or during the event, provided that they do not change the benefit of the announced event for the participants to any significant extent. We shall be authorised to replace the intended speakers as necessary (e.g. illness, accident) with other persons with the same qualifications in terms of the topic announced. We reserve the right to cancel an event due to insufficient demand or participation (up to 5 working days before commencement of the event), or for other important reasons which are no fault of our own (e.g. sudden illness of the speaker, acts of God). Any paid participation fees will be reimbursed in full to the participants. There shall not be any further claims for wasted expenditure connected to the cancellation (e.g. hotel room, flight or rail tickets).

They may not be reproduced, processed, copied, distributed, translated, used for public presentation or passed to third parties in any form ‒ even in part ‒ without the prior written authorisation of OBO Bettermann.
