  1. These conditions apply to all offers, quotations and Agreements for the sale and delivery of a Course, unless the Parties have expressly deviated from the applicability of the Conditions in writing.
  2. If the Agreement contains provisions that deviate from the Conditions, the provisions of the Agreement shall prevail.

In doing so, the purpose and purport of the original provision shall be taken into account as much as possible. The other provisions shall in that case remain in full force.


Article 3: Offer and Conclusion of the Agreement

  1. All offers are non-binding, unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing. Intermittent Living is therefore not bound by any offer. The offer is merely an invitation for the Course participant to register for a Course. All brochures, price lists and suchlike published or used by Intermittent Living are also without obligation.
  2. The Agreement will only come into effect at the moment of acceptance of the offer by the Course participant. Acceptance of the offer takes place by filling in all details on the Website and sending in the completed digital form. Immediately after sending the digital form, Intermittent Living will confirm by e-mail the receipt thereof and the conclusion of the Agreement.
  3. Intermittent Living reserves the right to reject an application for a course, for example if the number of applications for the course gives cause to do so, or if a course participant does not meet the entry requirements. Intermittent Living will inform the (candidate) Course participant within 2 to 5 working days after receipt of the registration form.
  4. Only in the event that a Consumer enters into the Agreement, the laws and regulations in the field of consumer purchases – including the right of withdrawal as described below in Article 4 of these Terms and Conditions – apply to the Agreement.
  5. Any subsequent additional agreements or amendments to the Agreement and/or Conditions, as well as (oral) agreements and/or promises made by Intermittent Living personnel or on behalf of Intermittent Living by salespersons, agents, representatives, third parties engaged by Intermittent Living or other intermediaries, shall only be binding on Intermittent Living if confirmed in writing by Intermittent Living by duly authorised persons.

Article 4: Right of withdrawal

  1. This article applies if the Consumer was the one who entered into the Agreement with Intermittent Living within the framework of an organised system for the remote sale of products, digital content and/or services, whereby, up to and including the moment of concluding the Agreement, exclusive or joint use is made of one or more techniques for remote communication (‘Distance Purchase’).
  2. In the event of a Distance Purchase, the Consumer has a cooling-off period of 14 (fourteen) calendar days in which he may withdraw (rescind) from the Agreement. Dissolution means that the services ordered (following the Course) no longer need to be taken up, after which the Consumer receives (part of) his money back. After the expiry of the cooling-off period, the right of withdrawal no longer applies.
  3. The cooling off period mentioned in paragraph 1 starts on the day the Consumer has confirmed (digitally) that he wants to use the services.
  4. If the Consumer wishes to exercise its right of withdrawal, it shall notify Intermittent Living within the withdrawal period by filling in the form available on the Website and sending it digitally, or by notifying Intermittent Living in any other unambiguous manner in writing. The risk and burden of proof of the correct and timely exercise of the right of withdrawal shall lie with the Consumer.
  5. Intermittent Living shall reimburse all payments made by the Consumer in connection with the Contract that has been revoked by the Consumer.
  6. Intermittent Living shall pay the amount to be refunded immediately but at the latest within 14 (fourteen) days following the day on which the Consumer has reported the withdrawal. Intermittent Living shall be entitled to withhold reimbursement until it has established the relevant stage of withdrawal. If the Consumer has expressly requested Intermittent Living to perform the Agreement within the withdrawal period and then terminates the Agreement within that period, the Consumer shall owe Intermittent Living an amount that is proportionate to that part of the Agreement that has been performed by Intermittent Living at the time the Consumer exercises the right of withdrawal, compared to the amount that the Consumer would have owed if the Agreement had been fully performed.

Article 5: Execution of the Agreement

  1. By entering into the Agreement, the Parties undertake to make every effort to achieve the best possible result.
  2. If and to the extent required for a proper execution of the Agreement, Intermittent Living has the right to have certain activities carried out by third parties.
  3. Intermittent Living is not liable for damage, of whatever nature, arising because it has relied on incorrect and/or incomplete information provided by the Client..

Article 6: Price and payment

  1. The parties agree on the prices for the Course in which the course participant will participate, as stated in the Agreement. If external factors such as changing laws and regulations cause a price increase or decrease, these costs will be passed on to the participant and the participant must pay these costs to Intermittent Living or Intermittent Living will reimburse these costs to the participant.
  2. Unless otherwise stated, prices include coffee, tea and – when applicable – lunches. The required online course material is also included in the price.
  3. Depending on the course, the student can choose to pay in 1 (one), 3 (three) or 10 (ten) instalments. The choice for the different instalments is mentioned per Course on the Website. If the Course participant chooses to pay the full amount at once, he/she will receive an invoice. This invoice must be paid within 14 (fourteen) days of the invoice date. In the case of 3 (three) or 10 (ten) instalments, the account holder authorises direct debit. The (minimum) first instalment must be paid no later than the first course day. The last term has to be paid before the last course day at the latest.
  4. If the participant does not meet his/her payment obligations on time, he/she is in default by that mere fact, without a reminder or notice of default being required. Intermittent Living may then deny the participant access to the course.
  5. All payments made by the course participant to Intermittent Living will first be deducted from the interest and costs owed by the course participant to Intermittent Living.
  6. There will be no refund of paid Courses.
  7. The agreed rates are subject to annual indexation. Furthermore Intermittent Living is entitled to pass on interim price increases if between the time of offer and delivery the rates with respect to, for instance, wages, materials or rental prices have risen, in which case the course participant has the right to cancel the agreement if this occurs within 3 months of entering into the agreement.
  8. If payment for a Course is made by a third party, the Course participant remains liable for timely payment as stipulated in this article..

Article 7: Delivery

  1. All lead times quoted by Intermittent Living have been determined to the best of its knowledge on the basis of information known to it at the time of conclusion of the Agreement. The lead times will be observed to the extent possible, but are not to be considered as strict deadlines, unless expressly agreed otherwise. Except in the case of intent or gross negligence on the part of Intermittent Living, exceeding the lead time shall not entitle the course participant to rescind the Agreement in whole or in part or to compensation for any loss suffered by the course participant.
  2. Intermittent Living shall never be liable for any delay in delivery as a result of a delay in the supply of course material by third parties.
  1. If the participant is unable to attend a meeting, the participant must cancel with Intermittent Living as soon as possible, but in any case before the start of the meeting.

The amounts already paid by the course participant for the cancelled course units will be reimbursed to the course participant by Intermittent Living.
  2. After the expiry of the withdrawal period referred to in Article 4 but before the (start) date of the course, the course participant has the option to terminate the agreement. In this case Intermittent Living will charge the course participant an administration fee of € 50 if the cancellation is made no later than 1 (one) month before the course start date, and 25% of the agreed course fee if the cancellation is made less than 1 (one) month before the course start date.
