II. REVOCATION INSTRUCTION FOR CUSTOMERS

Right of revocation:

You have the right to revoke an event registration within fourteen (14) days without giving reasons.
The revocation period is fourteen (14) days from the date of event registration.
In order to exercise your right of revocation, you must inform me (Robert Kysela, Burggaillenreuth 116, 91320 Ebermannstadt, e-mail: office@kysela.eu) by means of a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or e-mail) of your decision to revoke the event registration.
In order to comply with the revocation period, it is sufficient to send the notification of the exercise of the right of revocation before the end of the revocation period.

Consequences of revocation:

If you revoke the course registration, I will refund all payments I have received from you immediately and at the latest within fourteen days from the day I received the notification of your revocation of the course. For this refund I will use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction, unless otherwise expressly agreed with you. Under no circumstances will I charge you for this refund.

If you have requested that the services should commence during the withdrawal period, you shall pay me a reasonable amount corresponding to the proportion of the services already provided by that date on which you inform me of the exercise of the right of withdrawal in respect of this contract compared with the total amount of services provided for in the contract.
