Even after sending a confirmation of registration, Future Network reserves the right to cancel or postpone an event for good cause (e.g. illness on the part of the lecturer).

Cancellation:

Should you have registered for an event but cannot take part, please send us a cancellation in writing no later than 10 business days before the start of the event. In the case of a later cancellation or non-participation, a handling fee of EUR 50 will be charged. You are, of course, entitled to nominate a substitute participant.

  1. Event schedules
    For event schedules please consult the current programme on our website.
  2. Prices
    Any prices listed are quoted in euros and do not include VAT. They are based on the programme of events applicable during the training period in question.
  3. Invoicing
    After the registration has been confirmed, an invoice is made out. The invoice amount shall be due within 10 days following receipt of the invoice, but no later than one day before the start of the event. In the case of payment later than 8 days before the event, a copy of the transfer order shall be provided at the day of the event.
  4. Rescheduling/cancellation of fee-based seminars
    Any rescheduling or cancellation must be made in writing. If a registration for seminars of a duration between 1 and 3 days is cancelled within 15 days prior to the start of the event, the full fee shall be charged. If a registration for seminars of a duration of 4 days or more is cancelled within 4 weeks prior to the start of the event, the full fee shall be charged. Substitute participants can be nominated at any time, at no additional cost. In the case of non-attendance, without prior cancellation, of an event for which you have registered, the full price agreed upon shall be payable. Payment of the price of the event or of the cancellation fee shall, of course, always entitle the payer to receive the corresponding materials.

Course vouchers shall be valid for a period of 12 months from the invoicing date, and can be used for seminars run by Future Network within this period. Any refund for unused course vouchers is hereby precluded.

  1. Special conditions
    Should several staff members of a company register for an event at the same time, a 10 % discount on the participation fee can, exclusively for specific selected seminars, be granted to the second and any additional person.
  2. Cancellation of events
    In the case of insufficient demand, or for other reasons for which the organising party is not responsible, fee-based events can also be cancelled after registration has been confirmed. In the case of such a cancellation, the participation fee will be refunded. No further claims against the organising party or lecturers shall be admissible.
  3. Change of programme of events
    In exceptional cases, Future Network shall reserve the right to make any necessary changes to the programme of events, to Future Network management forums or to seminars, to the event date, lecturers or venues.
  4. Copyright
    The training materials that are distributed in the context of events are subject to copyright. Any reproduction or use for business purposes of the said materials, either in full or in part, shall be subject to the granting of permission by Future Network and the lecturer(s) in question. The organising party shall not be liable for the correctness and completeness of content communicated by lecturers in the context of training events or lectures.
  5. Restriction on liability of the organising party
    Future Network shall not be liable for any loss of, or damage to, objects brought to the event, except in cases where such loss or damage has been caused by at least gross negligence on the part of Future Network. In the same way, all liability for personal injury is hereby precluded. It is therefore recommended that, during breaks, participants should not leave any valuables or important materials in the room where the event is taking place.
  6. Venue

Vienna shall be the place of performance and venue for any claims and disputes that may arise from this contractual relationship.
