Translated from German. Local court: Hannover.
The following Terms & Conditions are to regulate the relations between the workshop participants at the Dance! Global Fusion Festival, presented by the TaBeKu e.V. (Limmerstraße 1, 30451 Hannover, Germany), in short „Dance! Global Fusion Festival“. Additional and / or special terms and conditions may apply to certain offers or services if stated so in the workshop description.
(1) All workshop events of the TaBeKu e.V. require written registration by email or mail.
(2) Any registration becomes valid by default and contractually binding as soon as the registered person (participant) is identified as its legitimate adresser. It is also true for underage participants. The Dance! Global Fusion Festival generally reserves the right to claim payment from the owner of the email address or postal address, from which the registration is sent. By sending in their registration by mail, fax or email, the participant confirms having read, apprehended and agreed to these Terms & Conditions. Registrations, which are sent in online, are valid without a signature. Each registration is valid and binding for the participant even without a written confirmation from the Dance! Global Fusion Festival.
(3) Any and all registrations to the services of the TaBeKu e.V. are also valid and binding, even if no payment has been sent, and the registered person wishes to pay in cash. That means that the payment is also due even if the registered person cannot participate for any reason, including health reasons confirmed by a doctor. In this case, the payment is due immediately. The spots will be distributed in the chronological order in which the registrations were received.
(4) If a class or workshop is sold out, there will be a waiting list in the chronological order of the registrations. The Dance! Global Fusion Festival will inform the waiting list participants of any spot opening no later than 24 hours before the class starts. Any participants who agree to be put on the waiting list are effectively and bindingly registered as soon as they are informed about the spot opening no later than 24 hours prior to the class.
(5) We also accept last minute registrations. In such a case, please contact us by the cell phone number +49 (0) 170 58 98 904 (not by email) to make sure there are free spots available. The workshop fee is then to be paid in cash immediately prior to the workshop at the studio or via PayPal for online classes.
(6) The number of participants per class or workshop is strictly limited in order to offer enough dance space for each participant. This also applies to online workshops so that every participant gets the chance to receive personal feedback from the teacher. There is also a minimum amount of participants needed for each class to take place. If this number is not reached at least 5 days prior to the workshop date, the Dance! Global Fusion Festival may cancel the class. In this case, the participants will be fully reimbursed for the already paid workshop fees. The Dance! Global Fusion Festival will not be held liable for any further costs such as hotel bookings, flight or train tickets or any other measures taken by the participants.
It is often hard to calculate the correct fee for the workshops you have booked. Your total fee is listed in your registration confirmation. In order to avoid errors, please wait until you receive your confirmation email before sending payment.
As a global online event organizer, we are aware of the fact that money is not distributed evenly amongst all of the world’s regions and social strata. That is why we are calculating our fees on a sliding scale. If you would like to book our workshops but are low on funds you are welcome to pay the lower fees. We are asking no questions about your actual financial status, but we believe that the international dance community is based on solidarity. If you find yourself in a comfortable financial position we are grateful if you can pay a fee that is higher on the scale. Thus, you are providing fair payment for the work of the organizers and teachers while supporting fellow dancers who are less privileged. Thank you!
(1) You will receive a written confirmation via email after registering for the workshop(s).

(1) We can provide you with a formal invoice for your workshop bookings if needed. We do not issue any participation certificates or detailed confirmations of participation.
