Terms of Service
(GTC) of the Greenland Rolling Academy
1. General
1.1 Subject of these GTC
The fact that the General Terms and Conditions (GTC), which are an integral part of every contract, are made clear from the outset also contributes to the success of an event.
The following general terms and conditions regulate the business relationship between Greenland Rolling Academy and its customers* (hereinafter "participants").
For the sake of simplicity, a course, coaching or event is referred to as an event in the following text. Greenland Rolling Academy is the company name. Responsible is Britta Laube.
2. Registrations
2.1 Registration Process, Booking Confirmation, Payment
Registration for our events takes place via the contact form on our website or via an e-mail to info@greenland-rolling-academy.de and offers the Greenland Rolling Academy the conclusion of a binding contract. If a person registers several participants, they are also responsible for their contractual obligations.
The contract is concluded with the booking confirmation sent by us. With the booking confirmation, the request for payment is sent with a payment period of 14 days.
2.2 Fully Booked Programs
The Greenland Rolling Academy endeavors to mark fully booked events as "fully booked" on its website as quickly as possible. However, should it happen that an event is already fully booked at the time of registration, there is no right to participate.
3. Greenland Rolling Academy services
The websitewww.greenland-rolling-academy.deis a platform for booking courses in the Greenland-inspired paddle and roller style. The service to be provided refers to the description of the booked event. However, the Greenland Rolling Academy reserves the right to change the program (and thus the booked service) in individual cases, especially if the situation on site and the safety of the participants and the event manager so require. This can be, for example, weather-related changes to planned times in the water (excessive wind, thunderstorms, etc.) or a flexible program that is based on the given conditions and/or the special needs of the participants. Force majeure, legal provisions, illnesses, etc. can necessitate changes to the service offered at very short notice. In principle, the Greenland Rolling Academy strives to deliver the best possible services within the framework of the advertised event - but the safety of our participants and employees always comes first. In principle, there is no right to a refund for services not used.
The Greenland Rolling Academy offers various events at home and abroad. Our Greenland roller courses are all about imparting various teaching content on the subject of kayak rollers. So it makes sense that most of our events take place on the water. In addition, we also offer other events (e.g. yoga for paddlers, etc.) on land, which are also clearly related to sea kayaking. This results from the respective event description.
Depending on the advertisement, a Greenland Rolling Academy event can last for one or more days, but is always limited to our services on or on the water or at the event location during the event days and course times advertised in the program.
The Greenland Rolling Academy is not responsible for the accommodation of the participants. The participant is responsible for arranging their own accommodation at the venue. The Greenland Rolling Academy is not responsible for the organization and execution of the journey.
4. Security and Disclaimer
4.1 Security
The participant assures that he/she has a normal physical constitution and sufficient swimming skills and only takes part in the event in a symptom-free state of health.
The responsible event manager has the full authority to change or cancel a program at any time for safety reasons (e.g. in the event of thunderstorms; see also Section 3).
Should a participant nevertheless decide to go out on the water alone or with other participants without an event manager or their representative, this will be done as a private activity for which Greenland Rolling Academy accepts no responsibility.

That's okay and, in fact, even unavoidable. Therefore minor damage (e.g. gel coat repairs of up to 1 hour working time) are always at our expense.
If a participant handles the material provided to you improperly or negligently (e.g. landing with force on a pebble beach or a concrete ramp, landing with the skeg extended, “paddle bridge” when boarding, etc.) or major damage (holes, cracks , major gel coat damage, broken paddles, damaged skegs including cable pull etc.), it is up to the participant to either repair them professionally themselves, to pay for the repairs or to make a payment for a new purchase.
