NVC Rising is liable without limitation for damages arising from injury to life, body, or health caused by a breach of duty on our part, and for damages caused intentionally or through gross negligence. In the case of a slightly negligent breach of a material contractual obligation (an obligation whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance you may regularly rely), our liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. Any further liability is excluded. Mandatory statutory liability remains unaffected.

Where you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory provisions of the law of your country of habitual residence. The place of jurisdiction, to the extent legally permissible, is Cham, Canton of Zug, Switzerland.
Unless otherwise indicated, NVC Rising owns the copyright in the content presented in its online seminars (webinars). Some copyright in the content may be owned by individual presenters and is included under a licence or agreement. Webinar events and recordings are to be viewed by the registered participant only; the content must not be recorded or reproduced under any circumstances. Where a copy of the webinar presentation is made available after the event, it is for personal, non-commercial use only and must not be modified or republished without the prior consent of the presenter. Any breach of copyright, including recording the presentation or any unauthorised use of the material, may lead to legal action.
NVC Rising is not liable for the detailed content of any webinar, the quality of a presentation, or for learning outcomes not entirely meeting individual expectations, save as set out in the limitation of liability above.
Webinars may contain links to other websites over which NVC Rising has no control. We make no representations about the accuracy of information on those websites and are not liable for their content.
NVC Rising online sessions may include a feature that allows audio, and any documents or other materials exchanged or viewed during the session, to be recorded. By joining a session you consent to such recording. If you do not consent to being recorded, please contact us at info@nvcrising.org in good time before the event so that we can discuss your concerns.
Participation may require you to configure the software settings on your device on first use, or to download software for your operating system; you may need administrator privileges on your computer to install it.
The presenter may provide reference materials for your use during or after the webinar, which may include (without limitation) a workbook, a copy of the slides, and sample documents, templates, or other material. All webinar-related materials remain the copyright of NVC Rising and must not be distributed to any third party at any time or in any form without our written permission.
The duration of the contract is determined by the respective webinar description. Your contractual obligations, in particular the obligation to pay, exist regardless of whether you actually attend the booked webinar, subject to your statutory right of withdrawal set out below.
NVC Rising reserves the right to cancel a live session up to two hours before the appointed time due to the absence of the instructor, force majeure, or other unforeseeable events; there is no right to demand that the event be held. Participants will be informed of any cancellation without delay, in writing or by email. Fees already paid will, at your option, be credited towards another event or refunded. No further claims may be asserted against us. If the instructor is absent, we reserve the right to appoint an equivalent substitute instructor; in that case there is no entitlement to a refund.
Swiss law does not provide a general statutory right of withdrawal for distance contracts. However, where you are a consumer resident in the European Union or the European Economic Area, you are granted the following right of withdrawal under the EU Consumer Rights Directive. A consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly outside their trade, business, or profession.
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day of conclusion of the contract. To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us:
Rising For Life (NVC Rising)of your decision to withdraw from this contract by a clear statement (e.g. a letter or email). To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse all payments received from you in connection with the cancelled booking without undue delay and no later than fourteen days from the day on which we are informed of your decision to withdraw. We will use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise; in no event will you be charged any fees for this reimbursement.
Your right of withdrawal expires in the case of a contract for the provision of services once the service has been fully performed — i.e. once the webinar to which the booking relates has been conducted — provided that performance began with your prior express consent and your acknowledgement that you lose your right of withdrawal upon complete performance of the contract.
If you wish to withdraw from the contract, you may use the following form, but you are not obliged to:
