§ 6 Transferring the Coaching to another person

§ 8 Cancelation of a Coaching session by the Coach
In case the coach cancels or delays a coaching session due to reasons that he doesn't have to account for, you (or the user that has been designated by you) will be informed as quickly as possible, in order to arrange an alternate date. In these cases bPartGaming is not liable and not bound to pay compensation.
§ 9 Cancelation by disuse + expiration of the hourly allotment
1. Coachings are booked as packages. We offer different packages with a varying number of sessions and differing hourly allotments.
2. After the payment of a package has been received, the contact between the user and his allocated coach will be transmitted. Together, the user and the allocated coach will determine the dates of the first sessions and hence, arrange the course of the coachings.
If the user has not arranged an initial coaching session with his allocated coach within 30 days of the contact transmission, the booked package will be revoked and we are entitled to charge 25% of the reimbursement for efforts and for blocking the coach. The remaining 75% of the reimbursement will be paid back to the user.
If the coach is not able to commence coaching within these 30 days and the delay is a consequence of this, the following regulation, that is meant to minimize blocking coaches, does not apply.
