GENERAL TERMS OF TIQ2 CONCERNING ONLINE BOOKING

Anybody making a booking through TIQ2 is bound to these General Terms plus to the Clubs' or Trainer’ Terms. “Club or Trainer” is any training establishment or educational establishment (all in the widest sense), and "Clubs' or Trainer’ Terms" are its Terms & Conditions which are applicable on any dealing with that establishment, for instance holding a cancellation policy of the Club or Trainer in effect at the time of the online booking. The online booking service provided by TIQ2 is free for Participants and Parents. For Clubs and Trainers, please refer to the specific Terms and Conditions.

The person who takes part, or intends to take part, in a course that is the object of a booking is the “Participant”; if the Participant has not reached the age of 18, the booking must be done or approved by his parent or guardian, who must also give his or her exact address. This shall also apply when the age of consent is not 18 years in the country where the course is taking place, or in which the Participant or his or her parent or guardian is resident.

Information provided upon sign up and booking

The Participant will provide truthful information at the time of booking; the Participant may be expelled forthwith from the course at any time should said information prove to be a misrepresentation. Participants who are unsure of their language level should contact TIQ2.

Clubs and Teachers

TIQ2 will present Clubs and Trainers in a way that comparison of the offering is easy for the consumer, ie. the Participant and/or Parent. TIQ2 will endeavour to present information on the profile, facilities, activities, courses, accommodations and transfers, terms and conditions, plus links to the Club or Trainer website and email-address.

Booking a course

Once any course is chosen by the Participant, the Participant can then book the course immediately through TIQ2.

The booking may be rejected and/or not executed by either TIQ2 or the Club for the following reasons:

  • The booking is made by an under aged Participant without the consent from his Parent or guardian;
  • The Participant does not send documents requested in time;
  • The Participant does not make payment by the requested date;
  • The Participant cannot be reached for more than one month;
  • The Participant provided untruthful information during the online booking;
  • The course is over subscribed, not running or deemed unsuitable for the Participant;
  • There are practical reasons for rejection of the booking;

The booking is deemed to be unsuitable for any other reasons.

Once a booking is received, TIQ2 will email a confirmation of the booking. Acceptance by the Club or Trainer leads to a contract between the Participant and the Club or Trainer, on which the Club’s and Trainer’s Terms are applicable. TIQ2 is not a party to that contract. TIQ2’ role is solely that of facilitator. TIQ2 carries an obligation to make her best effort, not an obligation to procure any result. TIQ2’ system enables the Participant to communicate with the Club and Trainers. TIQ2 will request the Club to send all necessary documents directly to the Participant.

Payment

TIQ2 will assist the Participant to make his payment directly to the Club or Trainer by providing all information necessary thereto. TIQ2 is not an intermediary for the payment of the course fees. Payment must be made to the Club or Trainer by the Participant in accordance with the Club’s terms.

Changes of Terms

TIQ2 reserves the right to change these Terms.

Cancellation and refund

After making the booking, cancellations are governed by the Clubs' and Trainer’s Terms.

Booking process

If a booking cannot be processed or executed due to the Participant’s incompliance with the Clubs' or Trainers’ Terms, the Participant is liable for the charge depicted in the Clubs' or Trainers’ Terms.

Disclaimer

TIQ2 is not liable or responsible in case:

  • the Club or Trainer decides to stop or change the course;
  • the Participant is unable to attend the course for personal reasons;
  • the Club or Trainer has supplied inaccurate information to TIQ2 which leads to inaccurate information by TIQ2.
  • of any other reasons out of TIQ2' control.

Damages

TIQ2 is not liable for any damages caused to or by the Participant and/or Parent, nor for damages causes to or by the Club and/or Trainer.

Applicable law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of Switzerland. All disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be subjected to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of TIQ2’ place of business. However, TIQ2 may seek emergency relief before any competent court or tribunal in the event of a breach or anticipated breach of these Terms.

Data protection

TIQ2’ Privacy Policy is applicable.
