§ 1 Scope and Contractual Basis

(1) These General Terms and Conditions - hereinafter also referred to as GTC - apply to any and all agreements concluded between you as a Customer and our company as a supplier - also referred to as act.³ GmbH – via our aforementioned website or in RUNBASE, including but not limited to such agreements concerning the use of RUNBASE services, which comprises in particular the booking of courses - hereinafter also jointly referred to as Services.

Any and all contractual arrangements agreed between you and our company in connection with such an agreement initially arise in particular from our booking forms or confirmations - also referred to as Confirmation - and from these General Terms and Conditions.

The relevant version shall always be the GTC version valid at the time of concluding the agreement.

We provide services exclusively on the following terms and conditions, which underlie any and all agreements concluded with us.

Where the customer is an entrepreneur within the meaning of the following paragraph 2, any terms of the customer deviating from or contrary to the following provisions shall not apply. In this case, the following terms and conditions shall apply exclusively even if we render the service without reservation while being fully aware of such terms and conditions of the customer which are contrary to or deviate from the following GTC. In such a case, any deviations from these terms and conditions, any supplementary agreements and / or side agreements shall be subject to the explicit confirmation by us.

(2) Insofar as consumers are mentioned in these Terms and Conditions, such consumers are natural persons according to the statutory provisions (§ 13 BGB (German Civil Code)), for whom the purpose of such booking cannot be associated with a commercial, independent or freelance activity. According to the applicable statutory provisions (§ 14 BGB (German Civil Code)), entrepreneurs are natural or legal persons or partnerships with legal personality, exercising their commercial or independent professional activity when concluding a legal transaction. Customers within the meaning of these terms and conditions are consumers as well as entrepreneurs.

(3) Where working days are specified as deadlines, this includes any and all days of the week, Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays at our headquarters excluded.

(4) These terms and conditions also apply to any and all future business transacted between the customer and our company insofar as this refers to related legal transactions.


§ 2 Storage Capability and Viewing the Wording of the Agreement

(1) You can always view, save or print our GTC on our website www.runbase.berlin/en/terms.

(2) For safety reasons, your specific booking data cannot be retrieved from the Internet. We therefore recommend that you print out any reservation effected or save such reservation in your system.

The contract provisions in detail will also result from our booking confirmation as a binding declaration of acceptance.

§ 3 Contracting Partners and Conclusion of the Agreement

(1) Your contracting partner is act.³ GmbH.

(2) The presentation of the offers published on our website do not constitute a binding offer, a basis on which to conclude an agreement, but a non-binding invitation to you, to book it on the website. Such presentations and advertisings are subject to change, as long as they do not become the content of a binding contractual agreement. This means that, in the event of unavailability, there is no obligation on our part to perform.

Before sending your reservation, you can check and correct the data provided by you. Sending your reservation by clicking on the "Submit Reservation" button is deemed a binding contractual statement. The receipt of the reservation will be confirmed immediately after the technically flawless receipt of your reservation.

The confirmation of the reservation does not constitute the acceptance of your order, but is merely meant to inform you of the fact that your reservation has been received.

A binding agreement shall not be deemed concluded until we accept your booking - also known as booking confirmation.

Such acceptance by us can be made by any of the following circumstances:

  1. We accept your reservation with a separate order confirmation or
  2. we ask you for payment where payment in advance is required

Please note that the service will not be rendered until the full amount is credited to our account in cases where payment in advance is required. Where your payment is not received within 5 working days prior to the date booked, we will cancel any related booking confirmation sent by us at this point.

§ 4 Prices

The prices quoted in the offer at the time of booking shall apply for any and all bookings. The indicated prices are the total prices, which means they include the German value added tax valid at that time as well as any other price components.

Any other prices, which may be shown on sites loaded from caching (browser cache, proxies, etc.) may not be current and are therefore invalid.

§ 5 Payment

(1) We generally offer the following payment methods:

  1. Payment in advance by transfer to

    Berliner Volksbank

    BIC: BEVODEBB

    You transfer the invoice amount to our account in advance.

    Where payment in advance is required, we expect your payment not later than 5 working days before the date booked (the decisive factor being the date when such payment is credited to our account) after your binding reservation. Where no payment is received within this period, your booking will be canceled without replacement.

  2. Credit card, Mastercard, VISA only

    The invoice amount will be debited by your credit card company on the day of booking. We only accept the aforementioned credit cards.

    In addition to cash payment, we also offer EC-cash payment with PIN as well as payment by credit card (MasterCard, VISA). Please ensure that the price does not exceed your personal card limit. For more information please contact your principal bank
