Payment conditions
The course fee must be paid in full by the start of the course at the latest.
If you book via the online store, you have the option of paying for the course either online by credit card or TWINT (Switzerland only) or by bank transfer. You can also pay for the course on site at the workshop. When paying on site, payment can be made in cash or by TWINT (only for customers resident in Switzerland), credit card (Master / Visa / Amex) or EC/Maestro card. If paying in cash, please bring a suitable amount in Swiss francs.

Postponements / no-shows
After the definitive booking (invoicing, invoice is considered booking confirmation), courses can usually also be rebooked. You can also make rebookings directly in the course portal. Paid courses must be attended within one year, otherwise the course entitlement may expire. Other deadlines are also possible by arrangement.

Postponements: Postponements can also be made directly in the course portal within a period of 2 weeks before the start of the course. Short-term postponements can be made by arrangement.

Course / Event Cancellations: If the customer cancels a definitively booked date (invoicing), this must generally be done at least two weeks before the start of the course, but at the latest before the invoice due date. Cancellations made less than one week before the start of the course will generally not be refunded. The date can be changed by arrangement. If no postponement has been notified and the participant(s) do not show up, there is no possibility of a refund. In this case, the course is considered "attended". In special cases (family emergency, accident, etc. an exception can of course be made).

Underage participants:
If the participants are minors (under 18 years of age) and do NOT wish to attend a course accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, please fill out a corresponding authorization to attend by a parent or legal guardian.
A simple written note with the full address and signature of the parent or legal guardian is sufficient.

Risk & exclusion of liability
With the definitive registration for the course, the participant(s), in the case of minors the legal representative, agrees to be aware of the risk of injury when working with machines and tools. The course instructor, FERRUM D Gentile and associated persons conduct the course with the utmost care and caution; liability for injuries and accidents is completely rejected.
