ARTICLE 6. | SIGNING UP FOR AND CANCELLING CLASSES
- Both in the case of subscriptions and multi-ticket cards, the other party can only sign up for classes at the other party’s level or at a lower level. The other party’s level is determined by Extremos Salsa as discussed between the parties and/or determined by Extremos Salsa. The definite determination of the other party’s level by Extremos Salsa is not open to discussion. Over time, the other party’s level can be adjusted by Extremos Salsa, whether or not at the request of the other party.
- Classes must be signed up for and cancelled through Extremos Salsa’s mobile application or on the website. Classes can be signed up for no later than by 4 pm on the day of the class in question. Cancellation for classes takes place similarly and no later than one hour before the start of the class in question.
- Classes can be signed up for as long as sufficient places are available. If a class is fully booked, the other party can ask to be placed on a waiting list. In case of a cancellation by a participant, the participant longest on the waiting list will be signed up for the class.
- In case an available place in a class is not timely signed up for, the other party’s participation in that class cannot be guaranteed. If the other party is assigned to a class on the basis of the waiting list, the other party is entitled to participate in that class and the conditions for cancellation as referred to in the other provisions of this article apply mutatis mutandis.
- In the event that the other party with a multi-ticket card does not cancel in time for a class, the class will be removed from the multi ticket card, without the other party being entitled to make up for that class at a later time, or to any other (financial) compensation.
ARTICLE 7. | HEALTH

- In the event that Extremos Salsa temporarily moves to another location, Extremos Salsa will inform the other party as soon as possible. If relocation to another location is apparently unreasonably onerous for the other party because the other location involves a longer travel time or higher travel costs, the duration of the subscription or the period of validity of the multi-ticket card will be extended proportionate to the period during which the classes were moved to another location, without the other party being entitled to any other form of compensation.
- Extremos Salsa will notify the other party as soon as possible in the event that Extremos Salsa permanently relocates to another location. If relocation to another location is apparently unreasonably onerous for the other party because the other location involves a longer travel time or higher travel costs, the other party may terminate the agreement with immediate effect. The other party may in that case claim a refund or remission in proportion to the part of the agreement not received, without the other party being entitled to any other form of compensation.
ARTICLE 10. | SUSPENSION AND DISSOLUTION

- If the other party is in a state of bankruptcy, the Debt-Restructuring Act for natural persons has been declared applicable to him, any seizure has been levied on his goods or in cases where the other party cannot in any other way dispose freely of his assets, Extremos Salsa is entitled to terminate the agreement with immediate effect, to the extent the other party has not provided adequate security for the payment(s).
- Further to this, Extremos Salsa is entitled to terminate the agreement if and as circumstances arise that are such that fulfilment of the agreement is impossible or Extremos Salsa cannot reasonably be expected to maintain the agreement unchanged.

ARTICLE 13. | LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
- Without prejudice to the other provisions of these general terms and conditions, Extremos Salsa bears no liability for damage in relation to or damage caused by any incorrect or incomplete information provided by the other party, or another shortcoming in the fulfilment of the obligations of the other party arising from the law or the agreement or another circumstance that cannot be attributed to Extremos Salsa.

- Without prejudice to the other provisions of these general terms and conditions and in particular the provisions of paragraph 6 of this article, Extremos Salsa is only liable in respect of the other party for direct damage suffered by the other party as a result of an attributable shortcoming of Extremos Salsa in the performance of its services. An attributable shortcoming means a shortcoming that a properly and carefully acting specialist in this industry can and should avoid in compliance with the vigilance that is considered to be common practice and the professional knowledge and resources required for the performance of the service. Extremos Salsa shall not at any time be liable for indirect damage. Direct damage exclusively means:
– the reasonable costs for determining the cause and extent of the damage, to the extent the determination relates to damage that qualifies for compensation within the meaning of these general terms and conditions;
– any reasonable costs incurred to have the faulty performance of Extremos Salsa comply with the agreement, to the extent it can be attributed to Extremos Salsa;
– the reasonable costs incurred to prevent or limit damage, to the extent the other party demonstrates that such costs have resulted in limitation of the direct damage referred to in these general terms and conditions.
- Should Extremos Salsa be liable in respect of the other party for any damage, Extremos Salsa has the right to rectify such damage at any time. The other party must give Extremos Salsa the opportunity to rectify the damage, failing which, any liability of Extremos Salsa will be cancelled in this regard.
- Extremos Salsa’s liability is at all times limited to at most the invoice value of the agreement, i.e. to that part of the agreement to which the liability of Extremos Salsa is related. If the agreement has a longer lead-through time than six months, the invoice value for the last six months of the agreement will be used as the starting point for determining the invoice value as referred to in the previous sentence.
