GTC
Courses & Workshops
You can register for courses and workshops via the registration form on our homepage.
You will receive an automatically generated confirmation by e-mail.
As soon as we have reached the minimum number of participants, we will send the course confirmation and invoice. Once the course confirmation and invoice have been sent, we will charge 100% of the course fee in the event of cancellation.
The following applies:
Registrations are personal and non-transferable.
Basel Jitterbugs can reject a customer without giving reasons.
In dance lessons, the partner is changed every few minutes during a lesson.
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.
Courses will only be held if there is a minimum number of participants (depending on the course). If a course has to be canceled at short notice, 100% of the course fee will be credited or refunded.
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, provided the course is continued. If you do not wish to continue, you can unsubscribe by e-mail within the specified period. 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 automatic course confirmation and invoice have been sent, the full course fee is due.
A place in the follow-up course is only guaranteed with a dance partner.
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 "What does a course cost and what is the Jitterbugs discount" in the 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.
Cancellations
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. On presentation of a medical certificate, missed course lessons/workshops can be partially 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.
Eine Erstattung von Kurs- & Workshopgebühren ist ausgeschlossen. Es besteht kein Anspruch auf Erstattung oder Ausgleich von ausgefallenen Stunden. 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.
It is not possible to cancel individual lessons. However, 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.
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 free of charge up to 24 hours before the appointment or can be canceled for a fee of CHF 5. 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 six months. Open private lessons expire after this period.
Online courses
via Zoom
These GTC apply to dance lessons "on site" and online courses.
Cancellations are not possible for online courses, even in the case of longer absences, as the courses are recorded and made available.
The course material is personal to you and is available to you for an unlimited period until the end of the course period. Sharing the course material with persons who are not taking part in the course and any duplication is prohibited.
on Demand (Online School)
Access to online courses on demand is valid for 3 months from the date of booking. An extension is possible for a further 3 months at 50% of the original purchase price.
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!
Marketing
If you book courses, workshops, private lessons, online courses and events, you will be added to our mailing list. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in the email.
By participating in courses, workshops and events, you grant the organizers the unrestricted right to use the images resulting from the photo and video recordings as well as any reproductions or edits of the images and videos for marketing, promotional or other purposes. This may include (but is not limited to) the right to use them in printed and online publicity, social media, press releases and advertisements.
