These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter “GTC”) apply to all registrations made and contracts concluded via the website www.tanz-fabrik.ch, by telephone or by e-mail.

2. subject matter of the contract
TANZ-FABRIK Showtanzschule GmbH (hereinafter “TANZ-FABRIK”) grants its students (hereinafter “participants”) the use of the TANZ-FABRIK during the opening hours published on the homepage for a fee.

The TANZ-FABRIK is closed for regular hours on public holidays, the five weeks of summer vacation and the two weeks during the Christmas vacations. The vacation schedule of the respective district is used to determine the vacation times. The course break during the summer and Christmas vacations is already included in the subscription price. Lessons that are canceled during normal opening hours due to public holidays can be made up.

3. conclusion of contract and duration of contract
The contract between the participant and TANZ-FABRIK is concluded via the website www.tanz-fabrik.ch or in writing with the signature of the participant or their legal representative.

The contract between TANZ-FABRIK and the participant is concluded for an indefinite period and is automatically extended for a further quarter unless it is terminated in due time in accordance with section 9. Non-payment of the course fee is not considered as deregistration.

4. payment of fees
The course fee is due for payment 30 days after invoicing. In the event of late payment, TANZ-FABRIK reserves the right to charge a reminder fee.

5. disruptions to performance
The obligation to pay fees exists irrespective of whether the participant actually makes use of the services offered by TANZ-FABRIK. If the fulfillment of the subject matter of the contract becomes impossible for reasons for which TANZ-FABRIK is not responsible, the participant is not entitled to a refund of fees or compensation. If there are no payment arrears, the lessons can be made up for in the event of longer absences that are excused in writing, stating the reason for the absence.

TANZ-FABRIK accepts the following reasons:
- Illness of at least 2 weeks with a doctor's certificate
- Injury of at least 2 weeks with medical certificate
- Professional absence, stay at a health resort for a period of at least six consecutive weeks
- pregnancy

The management of TANZ-FABRIK must be informed of any longer absence. The service can be placed in a “pause” status in consultation with TANZ-FABRIK. It is at the discretion of TANZ-FABRIK whether the unused and unpaid lessons can be made up at a later date.

TANZ-FABRIK reserves the right to postpone or combine courses, to change the venue or to shorten courses with a percentage refund of the course fee. If a course leader is absent, TANZ-FABRIK may change the course leader or appoint a substitute. TANZ-FABRIK reserves the right to convert classroom teaching to distance learning under the same conditions if classroom teaching cannot be maintained.

6. course places and implementation
In order to be able to conduct the courses under optimal conditions, TANZ-FABRIK sets a minimum and maximum number of participants for each learning offer, which can be adjusted if necessary. Course places are allocated in the order in which registrations are received (subject to timely payment).

If the number of participants is insufficient, the course will generally not be held and the course fee will be waived or refunded. TANZ-FABRIK also reserves the right to cancel courses announced in the program for other reasons for which TANZ-FABRIK is not responsible. Course fees already paid will be refunded. Further claims by participants, in particular claims for damages in the event of changes or cancellation of a course, are expressly excluded. If the number of participants in a course is insufficient, TANZ-FABRIK may, in individual cases, run the course subject to the agreement of the participants, but increase the course fee accordingly or, where appropriate, reduce the number of lessons while keeping the price the same.

7. course exclusion
TANZ-FABRIK reserves the right to exclude participants from a course. In the following cases, the full course fee is owed, i.e. there will be neither a pro rata refund nor a waiver of the course fee: Course exclusion due to non-payment of the course fee and in serious cases (defamation, harassment, deliberate damage to property, etc.).

Gross or repeated violations of the GTC, the operating regulations and the usage regulations or the instructions of TANZ-FABRIK may result in a ban from the premises. There is no entitlement to a refund of the course fee or the subscription fee.

8. liability
TANZ-FABRIK is not liable for damages incurred by the participant when using the TANZ-FABRIK or other services. Nor for the loss of clothing, money or other valuables brought along.

For all courses and events organized by TANZ-FABRIK, TANZ-FABRIK excludes any liability for damages incurred. Participants are responsible for taking out adequate insurance cover. Use of the TANZ-FABRIK facilities is at the participant's own risk. TANZ-FABRIK cannot be held liable for theft or loss of items. Participants are obliged to comply with the current official directives (e.g. hygiene rules) and the instructions of TANZ-FABRIK on the premises of TANZ-FABRIK. Participants with symptoms of illness, suspected infection with transmissible pathogens and/or quarantine (officially or self-imposed) are prohibited from visiting the TANZ-FABRIK premises (including partners, external workshops and premises rented to other companies). The risk of infection cannot be completely ruled out even if the hygiene rules are observed. TANZ-FABRIK excludes any liability in this respect.

9. termination
Resignation can only take place at the end of a quarter. Notice of termination must be received by the management of TANZ-FABRIK in writing (e-mail to admin@tanz-fabrik.ch) no later than 30 days before the end of the quarter. Early withdrawal with refund of course fees can only be refunded in the event of illness, accident or pregnancy (with medical certificate). If notice of termination is not submitted on time, the participant will owe TANZ-FABRIK the full quarterly fee.

10. video and audio recordings
Video or audio recordings may only be made on the premises of TANZ-FABRIK and in online classes with the express consent of TANZ-FABRIK and the participants.

11. changes to the program, prices and general terms and conditions
TANZ-FABRIK reserves the right to change the program, prices and general terms and conditions at any time. The version valid at the time of registration shall apply, which cannot be changed unilaterally for this contract. Amendments to this contract must be made in writing and will be submitted to the participant in writing. The house rules displayed in the business premises are an integral part of the contract and must be observed by the participant.

12. severability clause
Should any provision of these GTC be invalid or incomplete or should performance become impossible, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining parts. In such a case, the invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision which achieves the intended purpose of the contract in a legally permissible manner and which comes closest to the original intention in terms of its content. The same applies in the event of a loophole.

13. Applicable law and place of jurisdiction
The GTC are subject to Swiss law. The exclusive place of jurisdiction for all proceedings is Urdorf. Urdorf is also the place of performance and, for customers domiciled abroad, the place of debt collection. Mandatory statutory places of jurisdiction remain reserved.
