By booking, purchasing or using an offer, the client accepts these Terms and Conditions.

Marc Welti GmbH expressly reserves the right to adapt or further develop offers, content, procedures, platforms, training locations, dates and organisational processes at any time.

3. Participants and use

Participation is generally open to people who permanently live in the same household as the dog.

There is no entitlement to permanent immediate availability.

Should messages be unintentionally overlooked, the client undertakes to get in touch again.

6. Training locations and organisation

Training can take place at different locations and may be adapted organisationally at any time.

Marc Welti GmbH expressly reserves the right to adapt training locations, group sizes, dates or procedures at any time.

Group training or further training offers can only be used if, in the view of Marc Welti GmbH, the dog is ready for them.

In the case of later cancellations or no-shows, the appointment may be charged in full or counted as used.

Marc Welti GmbH reserves the right to reschedule or cancel appointments, group training sessions or Zoom calls at any time.

This does not give rise to any claim for damages or a refund.
