Special Participation Terms for Open Online Formats
Please note: This English translation is provided for information purposes only and is not legally binding. Solely the German version of these participation terms is authoritative. In the event of any discrepancy between the German and the English version, the German version shall prevail.
These special terms supplement the general terms and conditions of Truinorva GmbH and govern the points which apply additionally to the open online formats that can be booked directly via the website. In the event of any conflict, these special terms take precedence for those formats.
§ 1 Scope of application and relationship to the general terms and conditions
(1) These special participation terms apply to the open online formats of Truinorva GmbH that can be booked directly via the website, in particular the Masterclass, the Praxis-Intensiv (multi-part live online training) and the Solution Sprint 1:1 (individual coaching).
(2) These formats are offered exclusively to entrepreneurs (§ 14 of the German Civil Code, BGB) – the offer is directed at companies, self-employed persons, freelancers and commercial traders. The conclusion of a contract with consumers (§ 13 BGB) is not envisaged; the right of withdrawal under § 6 of the general terms and conditions therefore does not apply.
(3) The general terms and conditions of Truinorva GmbH apply in addition. In the event of any conflict between these special terms and the general terms and conditions, these special terms take precedence for the online formats referred to above.
§ 2 Live online formats as events
(1) The live online formats (Masterclass, Praxis-Intensiv) are deemed eventswithin the meaning of § 5 of the general terms and conditions. The provisions set out there on cancellation, rebooking and substitute participants as well as on the minimum number of participants and cancellation of an event apply accordingly; in the case of multi-part formats (Praxis-Intensiv), the start of performance refers to the first session of the respective run.
(2) For the Solution Sprint 1:1, the deviating provisions in § 5 of these special terms apply.
§ 3 Registration, conclusion of contract, limited number of participants, waiting list
(1) Registration via the registration form on the website constitutes a binding offer by the client to conclude a participation contract. The contract is concluded upon the confirmation of registration issued by Truinorva GmbH in text form (Textform, e.g. by email).
(2) The number of participants per date is limited (e.g. Masterclass max. 15 places). Confirmation is subject to the availability of places and is given in the order in which registrations are received.
(3) If a date is fully booked, the interested party may enter a waiting list. The waiting list entry is non-binding and does not establish a contract; it serves solely as a means of notification should places become available or new dates be scheduled.
§ 4 Prices, due date, payment
(1) The prices stated for the respective format apply; all prices are net prices plus statutory value added tax (cf. § 3 of the general terms and conditions).
(2) The participation fee is generally due 14 calendar days before the start of performance, but at the earliest upon receipt of the invoice; in the case of short-notice bookings, correspondingly later. The invoice is payable without deduction within 14 calendar days of receipt of the invoice.
(3) Payment is made exclusively by bank transfer (§ 4 of the general terms and conditions); an online payment process is not offered.
(4) Access to the event is generally provided irrespective of receipt of payment. The right of retention of Truinorva GmbH under § 4 of the general terms and conditions remains unaffected.
§ 5 Solution Sprint 1:1 – special provisions
(1) Rescheduling and cancellation: The individual session may be rescheduled or cancelled free of charge in text form (Textform) up to 48 hours before the agreed start. In the event of a later cancellation and in the event of non-attendance without prior notice (no-show), the fee will be charged in full (100 %). The client reserves the right to prove that the damage incurred was lower. The client may nominate another suitable person from its company to attend instead.
(2) Nature of the service: The Solution Sprint 1:1 is a methodological coaching service. It does not constitute, and does not replace, advice from a lawyer or patent attorney. In particular, no legally binding statements are made on freedom to operate, infringement of industrial property rights or patentability; AI-supported results are structuring prima facie indications, not expert opinions.
(3) Use of AI, client data and confidentiality: The client decides on its own responsibility which content it introduces into the coaching and which information is entered into AI-supported tools. The client is advised that entering inventions that have not yet been filed into AI or cloud systems may – depending on the tool used and on its terms of use and data protection terms – be regarded as disclosure and may jeopardise patentability (novelty-destroying disclosure). Such an assessment has not been conclusively settled in law and comes into consideration in particular in the case of tools without assured confidentiality. Truinorva GmbH accepts no warranty in this respect and recommends filing patent-relevant inventions before using AI-supported or cloud-based tools.
(4) Where possible, Truinorva GmbH uses tools with contractually assured confidentiality (no training on the inputs) for the processing of confidential content and controls the inputs accordingly. In all other respects, confidentiality is governed by § 9 of the general terms and conditions. At the client’s request, Truinorva GmbH will conclude a separate non-disclosure agreement (NDA) before the coaching begins.
(5) Rights to results: The ideas and results developed jointly during the coaching belong to the client. Truinorva GmbH asserts no industrial property rights in them. Questions of inventorship are governed by the statutory provisions.
§ 6 Technical participation, access data
(1) Participation takes place online (Nextcloud Talk, browser-based). The client, or the participating person, shall ensure suitable technical equipment of their own (internet access, end device, headset where applicable).
(2) The access and dial-in data transmitted by email are personal to the participant and may not be passed on to unauthorised third parties or made publicly accessible.
(3) Recording by participants is not permitted without the prior consent of Truinorva GmbH and of the other persons involved.
§ 7 Final provisions
In all other respects, the general terms and conditionsof Truinorva GmbH apply, in particular the provisions on payment and default (§ 4), cancellation and rebooking of events (§ 5), rights of use (§ 7), confidentiality (§ 9), liability (§ 10), data protection (§ 11), force majeure and unavailability of the persons conducting the event (§ 12) as well as place of jurisdiction and choice of law (§ 13).
