    5. These GTC are an integral part of the form for the provision of the relevant service and the registration form on the Website.
    6. If you enter into any agreement or contract with the provider of a specific service while using the contractors.cz portal, and this agreement or contract contains provisions that conflict with these GTC, the provisions of the contract or agreement will take precedence over the provisions of these GTC.
    7. If these GTC refer to "us", or if it is not clear which of the above-mentioned persons (Website Operator, Instructor or Intermediary) is referred to in a given provision, it will be understood to mean the Website Operator, Instructor and Intermediary together, or any of them individually, unless the context of the specific provision of these GTC clearly indicates otherwise.
  2. Conclusion of a service contract
    1. By submitting the completed form for the selected service, you are sending a request to conclude a contract for the provision of that service. If the request is accepted by the service provider (Instructor or Intermediary), they will confirm its acceptance via an email sent to the address specified in the request. With the sending of confirmation of the acceptance of the request to your email address, a contractual relationship is established between you and the provider of the chosen service. The contract is concluded at the moment you receive confirmation of registration at the email address you provided.
    2. The scope of data required for the provision of a specific service is defined directly in the request for each service.
    3. You must provide only true, accurate and current data in the form. We do not verify the truthfulness of the data and bear no responsibility for the processing of requests with false, inaccurate or outdated data. In the event of any change, you must also update the data you have provided, if possible (if you cannot, please inform us of the change).
    4. The signed contract, including the relevant forms and other documents that are an integral part of the contractual relationship, will be archived in electronic form by the provider of the specific service. You can request access to these documents at any time.
  3. Special provisions for consumers
    1. As a consumer, you may request the provision of all services as listed below, except for services related to the search for business opportunities for individuals engaged in IT services, which are intended exclusively for natural persons engaged in business.
    2. If you are a consumer and a service is to be provided to you before 14 days have passed since the signing of the contract, by sending the relevant form you are also requesting the provision of the service before the end of the 14-day period for withdrawal without the need to provide a reason. You therefore lose the right to such withdrawal.
    3. If you are a consumer, you have the right to withdraw from a contract within 14 days from the day it was concluded without giving any reason, unless it is a case to which the previous paragraph applies.
    4. The withdrawal becomes effective at the moment the provider of the relevant service learns of it – by letter or email delivered to the address of the service provider stated in the request acceptance confirmation (see Article 2(1) of these GTC). You can also use the sample form published on our Website for withdrawal. As soon as the service provider receives the withdrawal notice, they will confirm its receipt to you. In order to comply with the withdrawal period, it is sufficient to send the relevant notice before the end of the 14-day period.
  4. Training courses (Articles 4 to 8)
    1. As part of this service, the Instructor will ensure your participation in a course and provide the related training services. Basic information about the course, including the price, is provided in the form for the respective course.
  5. Registering for courses
    1. You can only register for a course through the registration form on the Website for the course you have selected. After you submit the registration form, the Instructor will send you a notification email confirming the acceptance of your registration, thus concluding the contract. If you do not receive a notification email, please inform the Instructor by email at zdenek.culek@principal.cz.
    2. The deadline for accepting applications is two business days before the start of the course. If you need to register after this deadline (exceptional cases only), please consult this option with the Instructor (at zdenek.culek@principal.cz).
    3. Participants are registered for courses in the order the applications are received until the capacity is completely filled. To guarantee a reservation, you must pay the participation fee no later than by the due date specified in the payment instructions.
    4. You can cancel your registration for a course no later than six business days before the start of the course. Cancellation after this deadline is regulated in the paragraph Cancellation terms.
  6. Payment terms for courses
    1. You will usually receive payment instructions for a course within two business days from the moment your application is confirmed by a notification email.
    2. The prices stated in the payment instructions are final. The Instructor is not a VAT payer.
    3. If you are engaged with the Website Operator, the Instructor or the Intermediary, or any of their partners, or if you are allocated to a third party through them, individual pricing conditions for this service may apply to you. In such a case, the final price will be communicated to you in the sent payment terms.
    4. If you will pay the participation fee less than four days before the start of the course, you must send the Instructor confirmation of payment so that they already have it available when the course begins. Please note that your participation in a course may be unilaterally cancelled by the Instructor, meaning they can withdraw from the contract if you cannot prove payment of its price before the course begins.
    5. A tax document (invoice) will be sent to you, in electronic or printed form, no later than one business day after the course.
  7. Cancellation terms for courses
    1. Cancellation of participation in a course (withdrawal from the contract) can be accepted by the Instructor in writing or by email. If you notify the Instructor of the cancellation by phone, you must also confirm it by email no later than one business day after the phone call, otherwise this phone cancellation has no effect.
    2. If you cancel your participation in a course (withdraw from the contract) in such a way that the Instructor receives the withdrawal notice no later than six business days before its start, and if the course fee has already been paid, the payment will be refunded in full to your bank account.
    3. If you cancel your participation in a course (withdraw from the contract) less than six business days before its start, the Instructor is no longer able to refund the paid amount due to the reservation of your place in the course, and the securing of the classroom and an instructor. Therefore, in such a case, the participation fee cannot be refunded.
    4. The Instructor reserves the right to make changes in the courses (change of instructor, date and place), including without your prior consent. Any potential changes will be communicated to you via email or phone no later than four business days before the start of the course.
    5. The Instructor is entitled to withdraw from the contract for the provision of the course and thus cancel your participation in the course without stating a reason. This generally occurs if the course cannot be held for organisational or operational reasons, if the minimum number of participants for the course is not secured, etc. If the Instructor withdraws from the contract in this way, the participation fee you paid will be refunded in full to your bank account from which we received the payment.
  8. Organisation of courses
    1. The participant attendance check begins 15 minutes before the start of the course. The end time for a course is always approximate. The duration of a course depends on the number of questions asked not only at the end but also during it.
    2. The information provided regarding course organisation includes the date, the start time, the expected end time, and the location.
    3. Upon request, the Instructor will issue confirmation of your participation in a course.
