Terms of Service (AGB)

1.1 All services under the Salsa Seda brand are provided by ByNoon (sole proprietorship / eenmanszaak under Dutch law), trading as Salsa Seda ("we"). Contact: info@salsaseda.com.

1.2 These terms apply to all bookings of class hours ("hours"), packs, subscriptions, the try-out, workshops, and private lessons via salsaseda.com and on site. The German version of these terms is authoritative.

2.1 The presentation of offers on the website is an invitation to book, not a binding offer.

2.2 The contract is concluded when you complete the booking by clicking the payment-obligation button ("Buy now" or "Subscribe") and we confirm the booking by email.

2.3 Every booking requires a customer account. You are responsible for the accuracy of your details, in particular your email address.

3.1 Technique & Musicality (T&M): weekly class on Tuesdays, 20:00 – 22:00 (2 hours per session), organized in blocks of 4 sessions each ("block"). Each block is built around one song with its combo and choreography. The block is a feature of the schedule; every session is bookable on its own.

3.2 Shines & Body Movement: rolling weekly class on Wednesdays, 20:00 – 21:30 (1.5 hours per class).

3.3 Hours as the unit: Access to both classes is booked in hours. A session costs as many hours as it lasts, rounded to the half hour — a T&M session 2 hours, a Shines & Body Movement class 1.5 hours. One balance of hours works for both classes; half hours add up. Hours are not a means of payment, are not transferable, and are not paid out in money (subject to section 10).

3.4 Workshops: one-off events with their own date, venue, and price, as announced. Where places are limited, we allocate them in the order payments arrive; once a workshop is full, it stops selling. Workshops are paid in euros, not in hours.

3.5 Both classes are open level and danced solo; no partner is required. The venue is stated at booking, on the schedule, and in the booking confirmation. Where necessary (e.g. a room change), we may move a session to a comparable venue within Munich; we notify you by email as early as possible. Your statutory rights remain unaffected.

4.1 All prices are final prices in euros. Whether VAT is included, and at what rate, is stated next to each price and on your receipt.

4.2 Payment is made online through our payment provider Stripe (card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal). For subscriptions, the chosen payment method is stored for the recurring charges.

4.3 Discount codes are redeemed at checkout only and apply solely to the subscriptions and packs stated for them or to a workshop named for them. For subscriptions, a code redeemed with the subscription reduces every charge for as long as the subscription runs, even if we later switch the code off. No discount codes apply to the try-out.

5.1 The try-out (reduced first class) can be booked once per person and entitles you to one session of your choice (T&M or Shines & Body Movement), whatever its length. You pick the date at booking. It does not apply to workshops.

5.2 The try-out is valid for one month from purchase. If you cancel the chosen date at least 24 hours before it starts (section 8.2), you may pick another date within the validity.

6.1 A pack is a one-off purchase of hours: 1.5 hours, 6 hours, or 8 hours.

6.2 Pack hours are valid for 2 months from purchase and can be booked onto sessions of either class that take place within that validity. Unused hours lapse at the end of the validity without replacement. For extensions through closures and cancelled sessions, see section 9.

7.1 A subscription is a monthly recurring supply of hours: "6 hours" (6 hours per subscription month), "8 hours" (8 hours per subscription month), or "Unlimited" (every session of both classes within the paid subscription month, with no hours balance).

7.2 Subscription month: The subscription starts with the first session you pick at booking ("start day"). A subscription month runs from the start day to the day before the same calendar day of the following month; each further subscription month follows on without a gap. If that calendar day does not exist in the following month (e.g. the 31st), the next subscription month starts on the last day of that month. Closures extend the subscription month under section 9.2.

7.3 Payment: The first payment is made at booking and pays for the first subscription month. Every further subscription month is charged on its first day at 08:00 to the stored payment method. The applicable price is your subscription's price under section 7.9.

7.4 Hours per subscription month: With each paid charge you receive your plan's hours. They are valid for sessions taking place within that subscription month and lapse at its end without replacement; they are not carried into the next subscription month. On the "Unlimited" plan you may book every session of both classes within the paid subscription month. A booking under section 8.1 is required on the "Unlimited" plan too.

7.5 Five-week month: If, according to the schedule, your subscription month holds five T&M sessions or five Shines & Body Movement classes, you receive 2 additional hours for that subscription month (once, even if both classes have five dates). This does not apply to the "Unlimited" plan, which already covers every session.

7.6 Minimum term: 3 subscription months (three payments).

7.7 Cancellation: at any time with 14 days' notice before the start of the next subscription month — via your account or, without logging in, via the "Cancel contracts here" button in the footer of every page. We confirm receipt of a cancellation without delay by email, with date and time. A cancellation within the minimum term takes effect at the end of the minimum term, whatever the notice; after it, with shorter notice one more subscription month runs. Subscription months already paid remain unaffected; reservations under section 7.11 for subscription months that will no longer be paid are removed with the cancellation. The right to terminate for cause remains unaffected.

7.8 Failed charge: If a charge fails, we retry it daily for up to 7 days. Until the payment goes through you receive no new hours and the "Unlimited" plan books no new sessions; sessions already booked remain. If the payment is not made, the subscription ends; reservations are removed, and amounts outstanding from the minimum term remain owed.

7.9 Price and price changes: Your subscription's price is the price shown when you booked. If we change a plan's price, we notify you at least 14 days before the day it applies to your subscription; from that day the new price applies to every further charge. Up to that day you may cancel the subscription to that day, regardless of the minimum term under section 7.6. If you do not cancel, the subscription continues at the new price.

7.10 Plan changes: You can change your plan via your account. A change to a more expensive plan takes effect with the next subscription month; a change to a cheaper plan with the first subscription month after the minimum term. Nothing is charged on the day of the change; the new plan is charged from the subscription month in which it takes effect. The minimum term continues through a plan change. Discount codes under section 4.3 continue to apply to the subscription unchanged. A cancellation withdraws a plan change not yet in effect.

7.11 Reservations: Sessions falling in the subscription month after the one already paid can be reserved — on the "6 hours" and "8 hours" plans up to your plan's number of hours, on the "Unlimited" plan without limit. A reservation becomes a booking with the charge for that subscription month, in date order; until then you may withdraw it at any time free of charge. If the subscription ends before that subscription month, the reservations are removed.

7.12 In individual cases we may pause a subscription month or grant one without a charge (e.g. in case of longer illness or absence). This is a goodwill decision; there is no entitlement to it. A paused subscription month moves the next charge accordingly. In a paused month nothing is charged and no new hours are added; hours your subscription already holds stay valid until the paused month ends. The "Unlimited" plan does not apply during a paused month, and existing reservations are removed.

8.1 Every session must be booked, on the "Unlimited" plan too. A booking is possible up to the start of the session, provided your balance covers the session's hours and the hours are valid on the day of the session. Where several balances can pay for the session (e.g. a subscription and a pack), the try-out is used before all others, then the hours that lapse first; where one balance falls short, the next makes up the rest.

8.2 You can cancel a booking via your account or the schedule. If you cancel at least 24 hours before the start, the hours are credited back to you — to the balance they came from, with that balance's validity. If you cancel later or do not show up, the hours remain used. On the "Unlimited" plan a cancellation has no consequences in hours.

8.3 You may withdraw a reservation under section 7.11 at any time free of charge; nothing has been used.

8.4 Workshops: A cancelled workshop place goes straight back on sale. We do not refund the price. You can take the place again free of charge as long as nobody else has booked it; once it is taken, there is no entitlement to a place or a refund.

9.1 Single session: If a single session has to be cancelled (e.g. illness, venue failure), we inform you of the reason by email and in your account. Your booking is lifted and the hours are credited back in full, regardless of the notice under section 8.2; hours from a pack or the try-out are then valid for at least four weeks from the cancelled session, hours from your subscription until the end of their subscription month. On the "6 hours" and "8 hours" plans you additionally receive 2 hours with your next subscription month — whether or not you were booked — provided your subscription has a further subscription month; this does not apply if we offer you a replacement date with the cancellation. On the "Unlimited" plan and for packs without a booking, no further entitlement arises.

9.2 Closures: If we close for an announced period (e.g. the winter break), the closed days do not count: every running subscription month and the validity of every pack and try-out are extended by the number of closed days, and the next charge moves accordingly. Sessions within the closure do not take place; bookings on them are credited under section 9.1, without the additional hours stated there. Closures are shown on the schedule; we inform you by email.

9.3 Workshops: If a workshop is cancelled, we refund the price. Refunds are made by the original means of payment; amounts paid in cash are refunded on site.

10.1 Subscriptions and packs: For subscription contracts and the purchase of packs you, as a consumer, have a 14-day right of withdrawal. The period begins with the conclusion of the contract. Neither a subscription nor a pack relates to a single fixed date; the exception under section 10.4 therefore does not apply to them.

10.2 An unambiguous statement is sufficient to withdraw — an email to info@salsaseda.com is enough. You may use the model withdrawal form under section 10.6, but you do not have to. Sending the statement in time is sufficient to meet the deadline. We refund all payments received without delay, at the latest within 14 days, by the same means of payment.

10.3 If you have expressly requested that we start performing before the end of the withdrawal period — by booking hours — you owe us, on withdrawal, a reasonable amount for what you used until then (§ 357a (2) BGB): for each hour used, the price of the pack or subscription month divided by its number of hours; on the "Unlimited" plan, pro rata to the days of the subscription month elapsed up to the withdrawal. We refund the rest.

10.4 Try-out and workshops: Under § 312g (2) no. 9 BGB there is no right of withdrawal for these, as they are leisure services for which we provide a specific date.

10.5 Regardless of the above, you can contact us at any time (info@salsaseda.com) — goodwill solutions remain possible, without any entitlement to them.

10.6 Model withdrawal form — if you wish to withdraw from the contract, fill in this form and send it back:

To ByNoon (Salsa Seda), Devin Lieuw A Soe, info@salsaseda.com:

I/we (*) hereby withdraw from the contract concluded by me/us (*) for the provision of the following service (*)

— Ordered on (*)/received on (*): ………………… — Name of consumer(s): ………………… — Address of consumer(s): ………………… — Signature (only for paper notification): ………………… — Date: …………………

11.1 Participation requires normal physical fitness. If you have health restrictions, talk to us and, if needed, a doctor beforehand.

11.2 We accept no liability for cloakroom or personal items, except in cases of intent or gross negligence.

12.1 We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence and for damage resulting from injury to life, body or health.

12.2 For simple negligence, we are liable only for the breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations), limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract.

12.3 Liability under the German Product Liability Act remains unaffected.

Recordings taken in class in which you are recognizable are published only with your consent. You may revoke consent at any time with effect for the future.

We may amend these terms with effect for the future. We will inform you of changes; for existing accounts, the new version applies once you accept it. For running subscriptions, changes take effect no earlier than the next subscription month; for price changes, section 7.9 applies.

15.1 German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer protection rules of your state of residence remain unaffected.

15.2 We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

15.3 Should individual provisions be invalid, the remainder of the contract remains effective.
