§ 1 Scope of Application

These General Terms and Conditions apply to all contracts concluded with Collective Security Mindset gUG (haftungsbeschränkt) i.G., Zollhof 7, 90443 Nuremberg, Germany (hereinafter referred to as "Collective Security Mindset") concerning the provision of events, on-site training courses, Online-Live sessions, or eLearning programs. All communications and notifications issued by Collective Security Mindset in relation to the execution of these contracts and addressed to applicants or participants of training courses and events shall be deemed official communications from the organization.

Courses conducted under official license from third-party bodies are subject to those applicable regulations regarding course content and examination procedures. However, all contractual, financial, and organizational matters—including registration, payments, and cancellation policies—are governed by these General Terms and Conditions.

§ 2 Registration

Purchase of eLearning or self-paced products, as well as registration for participation in on-site or Online-Live training events, may be completed via the Collective Security Mindset website, in writing, by email, or using a reservation form. Registrations will be processed in the order in which they are received. If the registration is accepted and space is available, the participant will receive a confirmation. Upon receipt of the confirmation, a binding contract is concluded, subject to § 4.

Collective Security Mindset reserves the right to withdraw from the contract if the required minimum number of participants is not reached (§ 4). If the selected course is fully booked, the participant will be informed and, if possible, proposed alternative dates or events. Once the minimum number of participants is reached, a final confirmation of execution will be sent no later than four weeks prior to the start of on-site courses and two weeks prior to Online-Live courses.
