GENERAL
TERMS AND CONDITIONS

These General Terms and Conditions apply to all programmes, courses, workshops, auditions, events, and services offered under the Salzburg Academy for Dance Arts (SADA) name and organised by Dance Vision Salzburg, unless expressly stated otherwise.

Programme-specific Terms and Conditions, individual contracts, and any expressly agreed individual arrangements may apply in addition to these General Terms and Conditions.

In the event of any conflict, an expressly agreed individual provision shall prevail over Programme-specific Terms and Conditions, and Programme-specific Terms and Conditions shall prevail over these General Terms and Conditions, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Where a matter is not specifically regulated by any applicable Programme-specific Terms and Conditions, individual contract, or individual agreement, these General Terms and Conditions shall continue to apply.

SADA is an educational initiative presented and organised by Dance Vision Salzburg.

Unless expressly stated otherwise for a particular programme or service, the contracting party for programmes and services offered under the SADA name is Dance Vision Salzburg.

For the purposes of these General Terms and Conditions, references to SADA in relation to the organisation, administration, or provision of programmes and services mean Dance Vision Salzburg acting under the SADA name.

By submitting an application, registration, or booking for a SADA programme or service, the applicant confirms that these General Terms and Conditions and any applicable Programme-specific Terms and Conditions have been made available before submission and agrees that they shall form part of any resulting contractual relationship.

Submission of an application, registration, or booking does not in itself constitute acceptance by SADA and does not guarantee admission, participation, or the availability of a place.

Any automated or electronic acknowledgement of receipt confirms receipt only and does not constitute acceptance of the application, registration, or booking unless expressly stated otherwise.

Unless otherwise expressly provided in the applicable Programme-specific Terms and Conditions or individual contract, a binding contractual relationship is formed when SADA confirms acceptance in writing.

Where payment, a deposit, or another requirement is expressly stated to be a condition of contract formation, the contractual relationship becomes binding only once the relevant condition has also been fulfilled.

SADA reserves the right to accept or decline applications, registrations, or bookings before a binding contractual relationship has been formed, subject to applicable law.

Any mandatory statutory information requirements and consumer rights remain unaffected.

Tuition fees, payment arrangements, refunds, cancellation, termination, and withdrawal conditions are primarily governed by the Programme-specific Terms and Conditions applicable to the respective course or programme and, where applicable, the individual contract. Such specific provisions shall prevail over this section to the extent legally permissible.

Where no specific provision is made in the applicable Programme-specific Terms and Conditions or individual contract, the following provisions shall apply:

• The agreed fee relates to the full programme, course, or contractual period stated in the applicable programme information, booking or registration confirmation, or individual contract.

• Where payment by instalments is permitted, the instalment arrangement constitutes a method of payment only. It does not create separate monthly or instalment-based contracts and does not in itself give rise to a monthly or instalment-based right of cancellation or termination.

• Unless otherwise specified, invoices are payable by the due date stated on the invoice. Where no due date is stated, payment shall be due within 14 days of the invoice date.

• A participant’s non-attendance, temporary absence, late commencement, early departure, or voluntary discontinuation of participation does not in itself terminate the contractual relationship, reduce the agreed fee, release the contracting party from outstanding payment obligations, or create an entitlement to a refund.

• Cancellation or termination by the contracting party is subject to any applicable Programme-specific Terms and Conditions, individual contract, and mandatory statutory rights. Where no contractual or statutory right of cancellation or termination exists, discontinuation of participation alone does not release the contracting party from the agreed payment obligations.

• In the event of late payment, SADA may claim statutory default interest and reasonable costs necessarily incurred in recovering overdue amounts, to the extent permitted by law. Where legally permissible, SADA may, after appropriate notice, suspend further participation or services until overdue amounts have been paid.

• Where SADA cancels a programme or service and does not provide an appropriate replacement, rescheduled service, or other reasonable alternative, fees attributable to services not provided shall be refunded in accordance with the applicable contractual and statutory provisions.

• Where a consumer has a statutory right of withdrawal in connection with a distance or off-premises contract, that right remains unaffected. Where the consumer expressly requests that the provision of services begin before the expiry of the statutory withdrawal period, the consumer may be required, in accordance with applicable law, to pay a proportionate amount for services provided up to the time of withdrawal. Where the service has been fully performed and all statutory requirements have been met, the statutory right of withdrawal may cease in accordance with applicable law.

• Any refund, cancellation, termination, or other arrangement granted by SADA outside an existing contractual or statutory entitlement shall apply only on the terms expressly agreed by SADA.

Nothing in this section excludes or limits any mandatory statutory rights, including applicable consumer rights or any right to terminate a contract for good cause where such right cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.

SADA may make reasonable and proportionate changes to schedules, timetables, teaching staff, venues, class or group allocation, programme content, repertoire, casting, performance arrangements, or other organisational details where such changes are objectively justified by artistic, pedagogical, organisational, staffing, venue, health and safety, or other operational requirements.

Any such changes must be reasonable for the contracting party and must not materially alter the essential character of the contracted programme or service.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise, participation in a SADA programme does not guarantee instruction by a particular teacher, allocation to a particular class or group, participation in particular repertoire, a particular role or casting, an individual performance assignment, a particular venue, or an exact timetable.

Where a programme or service is prevented, delayed, or materially affected by circumstances beyond SADA’s reasonable control, SADA may take reasonable measures to continue the programme or service, including rescheduling, relocation, substitution of teaching staff, or other appropriate alternative arrangements.

Where SADA is unable to provide a material part of the contracted programme or service and no reasonable alternative can be provided, any rights of the contracting party under the applicable contractual provisions and mandatory law remain unaffected.

Where a participant is under the age of 18, an application, registration, or participation must be submitted or approved by a parent or legal guardian where required by law or by the applicable programme requirements.

The parent or legal guardian is responsible for ensuring that information provided on behalf of the minor is accurate and for informing SADA of any relevant changes.

Unless otherwise expressly agreed or stated in the applicable Programme-specific Terms and Conditions or programme information, SADA’s organised supervision is limited to the official classes, rehearsals, performances, activities, and programme times and locations communicated by SADA.

Parents or legal guardians remain responsible for making appropriate arrangements for the minor before the beginning and after the end of such supervised activities, including arrival, departure, and collection where applicable.

Specific supervision, arrival and departure, accommodation, travel, or other arrangements relating to minors may be set out in the relevant Programme-specific Terms and Conditions or other programme documentation.

Nothing in this section excludes or limits any duty of care or supervisory responsibility imposed on SADA by mandatory law.

Participants are required to:

• attend regularly and punctually;

• follow reasonable instructions given by SADA faculty and staff; and

• behave respectfully towards other participants, faculty, staff, visitors, venues, and facilities.

In cases of serious or repeated misconduct, failure to follow reasonable instructions, or conduct that materially disrupts the programme or affects the safety or wellbeing of others, SADA may take reasonable and proportionate measures, including warnings, restrictions, suspension from particular activities, or exclusion from the relevant programme where necessary.

Any such measures are subject to applicable law and, where applicable, the relevant Programme-specific Terms and Conditions.

SADA programmes and activities may take place at premises operated by third-party venue providers.

Participants are required to comply with the applicable house rules, safety requirements, and reasonable instructions of the respective venue, as well as instructions given by SADA faculty and staff in connection with the safe and proper use of the premises.

Participants must use the premises, facilities, and equipment responsibly and must not endanger, obstruct, or cause damage to other persons, the venue, or its facilities.

Any accident, damage, safety concern, or other significant incident occurring at a venue must be reported promptly to SADA faculty or staff.

Serious or repeated breaches of applicable venue rules or safety requirements may result in restriction of access to the venue or exclusion from the relevant activity or programme, subject to applicable law and the relevant Programme-specific Terms and Conditions.

Participants are responsible for taking reasonable care of their own health and safety and for ensuring, to the best of their knowledge, that they are fit to participate safely in dance training, rehearsals, and performances.

Participants must promptly inform SADA of any known injury, medical restriction, health-related condition, or other circumstance that may materially affect their ability to participate safely. Participants must not knowingly conceal or materially misrepresent such information where it is relevant to their safe participation.

Participants are expected to follow relevant medical advice and any reasonable health and safety instructions given by SADA faculty or staff. A participant should not take part in training, rehearsal, or performance where they know, or reasonably ought to know, that doing so may create a significant risk to their own health or safety or that of others.

Where SADA reasonably considers that continued participation may present a health or safety risk, SADA may adapt, restrict, suspend, or refuse the participant’s involvement in particular classes, rehearsals, performances, or other activities. Where reasonably necessary, SADA may also request appropriate medical confirmation or clearance before permitting participation to continue.

Specific medical requirements, certificates, and procedures may be set out in the relevant Programme-specific Terms and Conditions.

Any health-related personal data provided to SADA will be processed in accordance with applicable data protection law and the SADA Privacy Policy.

Photographs, video, and audio recordings may be made during SADA programmes, classes, rehearsals, events, and performances for documentation, educational, archival, and communication purposes.

Where the use, publication, or sharing of identifiable photographs, video, or audio recordings requires consent, the appropriate consent will be obtained separately.

Acceptance of these General Terms and Conditions does not in itself constitute consent to optional media use or publication.

Where consent has been given, it may be withdrawn with effect for the future in accordance with applicable law. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent before its withdrawal.

For minors, consent will be obtained from a parent or legal guardian where required by applicable law.

Further information concerning the processing and use of photographs, video, and audio recordings is provided in the SADA Privacy Policy and, where applicable, the relevant Programme-specific Terms and Conditions, consent forms, or other programme documentation.

Personal data are processed in accordance with applicable data protection laws, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Detailed information concerning the processing of personal data, including the purposes and legal bases of processing, categories of data, recipients, retention periods, and the rights of data subjects, is provided in the SADA Privacy Policy available on our website.

Where the processing of personal data requires consent, such consent will be obtained separately where required by law and may be withdrawn in accordance with applicable law. Acceptance of these General Terms and Conditions does not in itself constitute consent to optional data processing activities.

Participation in dance training involves inherent physical risks.

Liability is governed by the applicable statutory provisions. Nothing in these General Terms and Conditions excludes or limits liability for personal injury or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Further liability provisions may apply as defined in the relevant Programme-specific Terms and Conditions, subject always to mandatory statutory provisions.

SADA may amend these General Terms and Conditions from time to time where reasonably necessary, including to reflect changes in legal requirements, programme structures, organisational procedures, or the services offered.

Unless otherwise required or permitted by applicable law or expressly agreed with the contracting party, amendments shall apply prospectively and shall not alter an existing contractual relationship retroactively.

The version of these General Terms and Conditions made available at the time of the relevant application, registration, or booking shall apply to the resulting contractual relationship, subject to any applicable Programme-specific Terms and Conditions or individual contract.

These General Terms and Conditions and the contractual relationship between the contracting party and Dance Vision Salzburg are governed by the substantive laws of the Republic of Austria.

Where the contracting party is a consumer, this choice of law shall not deprive the consumer of the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law that would apply in the absence of such choice.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise in the applicable Programme-specific Terms and Conditions or individual contract, the principal place of performance for SADA programmes and services is Salzburg, Austria.

For contracting parties who are not consumers, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising out of or in connection with the contractual relationship shall be the competent court in Salzburg, Austria.

For consumers, the mandatory statutory provisions concerning jurisdiction shall apply. To the extent that a valid agreement on jurisdiction in favour of Salzburg may lawfully be made in advance, the competent courts in Salzburg, Austria shall have exclusive jurisdiction.

Nothing in this provision limits or excludes any jurisdiction or consumer protection right that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded by agreement.
