If the minimum number of participants for the event, which is announced on the website of the provider for the respective event, is not reached.
If the speaker falls ill and the substitute planned for these cases cannot fill in or in the event of a higher level of violence/pandemic etc., the event may be cancelled.
Participation fees already paid will be refunded to the customer. Further liability and damage claims arising from the cancellation of events are excluded. The customer shall accordingly ensure that when booking the Hotel and a means of transport to the event location, he selects a cancellation-free rate and/or takes out seminar cancellation costs insurance.
The provider reserves the right to postpone the event to another date and will announce the date on the website in good time.
7. Programme and Date Changes
The provider shall announce a postponement or cancellation of the event on his homepage (http://diamondmanagement.eu/). Particularly due to last-minute changes, participants should inform themselves about the event again before the event begins.
The provider reserves the right to modify the programme compared to the event description without prior notice, if this is necessary for organisational or didactic reasons or if it is requested by the main speaker of the event.
8. The Diamond Management Membership and the Diamond Club
The contents of membership and membership in the Diamond Club are presented on our homepage at www.diamondmanagement.eu where membership is listed.
8.1 Term of Contract Membership
The contract term for membership must be concluded for at least 6 months. We deliberately do not offer a shorter membership, as Diamond Management GmbH is aware that only continuous training and a certain duration will bring good results.
The contract term for Diamond Club membership is one year.
The notice period is 4 weeks. The contract will be automatically renewed unless a written notice of termination is submitted 4 weeks before the contract expires.
4 weeks before the end of the cancellation period, a written reminder will be sent that the membership will automatically renew in 4 weeks if no cancellation is received.
The member is obliged to provide Diamond Management GmbH with a current e‑mail address at the time of conclusion of the contract, which can be used for communication with the member. The member expressly agrees that legally significant declarations by Diamond Management GmbH (e.g. reminders, declarations regarding changes to the General Terms and Conditions, announcement of contract extension, etc.) can be sent either in writing by post to the last named postal address or electronically by email to the last named email address.
The member has to inform Diamond Management GmbH immediately of any change in data relevant to the contract, in particular name, address, e‑mail address, bank details, etc.
In the event that such notification is not given, a claim for recourse due to the extension of the contract is excluded, e.g. because the e‑mail about the upcoming possibility of termination and extension of the contract could not be delivered.
8.2 Membership Fees
The fee for the personal membership is currently € 39 per month incl. VAT, the membership for 6 months is € 234 incl. VAT and the membership for 12 months incl. VAT € 468, with annual payment € 429 incl. VAT.
The annual fee for Diamond Club membership is € 15,000.00 incl. VAT.

If monthly fees have been agreed on the contract cover sheet and the member is in arrears with the payment of an amount corresponding to the sum of two monthly total fees, Diamond Management GmbH is entitled to terminate the contract for good cause. In this case Diamond Management GmbH is entitled to demand further compensation in accordance with the legal regulations.

Unless otherwise agreed under point 8.1 of these GTC, the contract shall initially have the minimum contract period specified in the contract (hereinafter: minimum contract period).
