GTC

Registration & Courses

  • You can register online using the form for the relevant course. You will receive an automatic confirmation of receipt.

  • As soon as we have enough participants, you will receive the course confirmation & invoice.

Important to know:

  • Registrations are personal and non-transferable.

  • Basel Jitterbugs can reject a customer without giving reasons.

  • We reserve the right to make changes to the premises.

  • The organizer assumes no liability. Insurance (accident, illness, liability) is the responsibility of the participants.

  • The teaching methods and content are not the intellectual property of Basel Jitterbugs. Nevertheless, we expect to be informed as soon as you intend to teach swing dance to other people.

JITTERBUGS MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE:

  • We do everything we can to make you feel comfortable with us and there is no risk, because the Jitterbugs money-back guarantee applies to newcomers:

  • If you are new to us and realize after the first three lessons of a course that it is not right for you, we will refund you the amount for the remaining lessons. You simply need to let us know by e-mail before the 4th lesson at the latest.

  • The only condition is that you have attended all three lessons - quite simply: we are sure that everyone can learn to dance and that Lindy Hop will bring joy into your life.

Automatic registration for follow-up course

  • Our courses are continuous and build on each other. At the end of a course series, you are automatically registered for the next course. This saves you work and helps us with planning.

  • Before the end of a course series, you will receive an automatic course registration for the following series. If you do not wish to continue, you can unsubscribe by e-mail within the specified period (7 days). After the deadline, we will send you the course confirmation and invoice for the new course series.

  • Cancellations are free of charge up to the specified deadline. After the course confirmation and invoice have been sent, the full course fee is due.

Payment

  • The fees for courses and workshops must be paid by bank transfer before the start of the course or by the respective due date on the course confirmation/invoice.

  • Payment in installments, payment in EUR and cash payments are possible on request by e-mail.

  • You will receive a discount for two or more parallel courses, see FAQ. If you join another course during the course period, the discount applies to the new course from this point onwards and to all courses from the next course period onwards.

  • If the price is a problem, talk to us and we'll find a solution!

Cancellation & absences

  • Cancellations must be made in writing after registration (by sending the form). Non-payment of an invoice does not constitute deregistration.

  • Cancellation policy for courses:

    • Before sending the course confirmation and invoice: Free of charge.

    • After sending the course confirmation and invoice: 100% - the full course fee will be charged.

  • Cancellation policy for workshops:

    • Registrations for workshops are binding. The full amount will be charged in the event of cancellation.

  • There is no entitlement to reimbursement or compensation for missed course lessons/workshops, including those due to illness or accident.

    • If available, you can make up for this in a parallel course in the same week.

    • On presentation of a medical certificate, missed course lessons/workshops can be transferred to future courses/workshops in the form of a credit note. It is often possible to make up for missed course lessons with private lessons to continue the course.

  • Prolonged absence: If you are unable to attend 3 weeks or 4 lessons in a row (e.g. due to vacation or civil defense), part of the course fee can be waived or transferred to future courses or private lessons in the form of a credit note, provided you have informed us before sending the course confirmation.

  • Kursgebühren werden nicht erstattet im Falle der Änderung der Kursdurchführungsart (Online <-> Präsenz), der Änderung der Zertifikatspflicht (3G <-> 2G <-> 2G+), der Nichtteilnahme durch Quarantäne, Isolation, Krankheit, Militärdienst und so weiter. Können Kurse nicht wie geplant stattfinden, versuchen wir ein Alternativangebot anzubieten, z.B. Onlinekurse oder einen Alternativtermin. Es besteht kein Anspruch auf ein Alternativangebot. Unser Ziel ist es, dir zu jeder Zeit guten Tanzunterricht zu bieten und wir reagieren flexibel auf die äusseren Bedingungen.

Private lessons

  • Private lessons can be booked via the corresponding booking tool.

  • The prices quoted are for individuals and couples. Private group lessons can be booked by email.

  • Private lessons can be rescheduled or canceled free of charge up to 24 hours before the appointment. For later changes, the full amount will be charged.

  • We reserve the right to refuse, reschedule or cancel private lessons. In the event of changes at short notice, we will endeavor to find an alternative date.

  • Private lesson packages are valid for 6 months. Open private lessons expire after this period.

Events

  • If an event has to be canceled, we will try to find an alternative date and transfer your ticket. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that the event will take place at the same location and, if applicable, with the same band. There is no entitlement. A refund of tickets is excluded.

  • As flights may be canceled or delayed, band members may miss their flight/train or have a car breakdown. Band members may also fall ill. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that all announced band members will be present or that the announced band will play. We will always try to find an adequate replacement, but there is no guarantee of live music.

  • We cannot take responsibility for your valuables or your physical safety. Please be careful - take care of yourself and others!
