This also applies to a contractual relationship between us and the customer involving a booking platform for processing bookings, as explained below in more detail manner.

Customers will be notified of such changes by e-mail with a reasonable period of notice before the changes take effect, but at least 30 calendar days before the planned effective date of the respective change. In the respective notification of change, customers will be informed about their right to object and the consequences of an objection or failure to object. If a customer does not object within 30 calendar days as of the receipt of the e-mail notifying about the change, this customer hereby irrevocably agrees that these changes shall be deemed to have been effectively agreed from the expiry of the deadline.

5.  REVOCATION INSTRUCTION | RIGHT OF REVOCATION | CONSEQUENCES OF REVOCATION

 

5.1.  Right of withdrawal: The customer has the right to withdraw from a contract concluded online within fourteen days without giving reasons. The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the date of conclusion of the contract. In order to exercise the statutory right of withdrawal, the customer must inform us (WeBorn; address: Invalidenstraße 11, 1030 Vienna; e-mail: office@weborn.com) by means of a clear declaration (by post, e-mail) of the decision to withdraw from the corresponding contract. The withdrawal template at the end of these GTC can also be used for withdrawal. In order to comply with the withdrawal period, it is sufficient for the customer to send the notification of the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period expires. According to § 18 Z 10 Austrian FAGG, there is no right of withdrawal for classes, provided that a certain time or period is provided for the fulfillment of the contract by WeBorn.

 

5.2.  Consequences of withdrawal: If the customer withdraws from this contract, we shall reimburse to the customer all payments received from him, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from the customer's choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed about the customer's decision to withdraw from a contract. For this repayment, we will use the same means of payment that the customer used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with the customer; in no case will the customer be charged any fees for this repayment. If the customer has requested that the services should commence during the withdrawal period, the customer must pay us a reasonable amount in accordance with § 16 Austrian FAGG, which corresponds to the proportion of the services already provided up to the time at which the customer informs us of the exercise of the right of withdrawal with regard to this contract compared to the total scope of the services provided for in the contract.

 

5.3.  End of the revocation instruction: The right of revocation expires in the case of a contract for the provision of services even if we have provided the service in full and have only begun to perform the service after the customer has given his express consent and at the same time confirmed his knowledge that he loses his right of revocation upon complete fulfillment of the contract by us.

 

5.4.  WeBorn reserves the right to revoke acceptance of the order for the package or membership or the order for the gift voucher code without giving reasons, in particular in the event of incorrect or incomplete information provided by the customer or for other reasons. In this case, any payments already made to the customer will be refunded.

 

6.        WAITING LIST

For each class, there is a waiting list for which customers can apply. When a spot becomes available, the customers on the waiting list are automatically contacted by e-mail. If you do not move up from the waiting list to the class, no class credit is redeemed.

 

7.         NON-APPEARANCE & LATE ARRIVAL

7.1.  In the event of a no-show or of a late arrival (late is less than 2 minutes before class start) to a registered class that actually takes place, the payment obligation remains in place and there is no entitlement to a refund of the fee already paid for the missed class. When using an unlimited package, cancelation less than 12 hours before the start of the class will result in a booking blockage of 2 weeks. 

7.2. Missed classes, due to no-show or late arrival, cannot be re-attended (for the same credit) unless expressly agreed otherwise. However, WeBorn may agree with the customer who was unable to attend a class that another class may be attended as an alternative. The customer has no right to demand this arrangement.
