I. General validity

Mag. Isabella Dinstl provides her consulting services for the client as a management consultant and coach  exclusively according to the following general terms and conditions (hereinafter referred to as “terms and conditions”). In the event that individual parts of these terms and conditions become ineffective due to statutory provisions, these will be changed in accordance with the provision to be replaced, so that the changed provision comes closest to the original provision. Agreements that deviate from the General Terms and Conditions require the express written confirmation of Ms. Dinstl to be valid.

II. Object of the contract

1. The contract between Mag. Dinstl and the client comes into existence either in writing by signing the offer / order confirmation or by verbal order and relative acceptance by Mag. Dinstl.

5. Coaching, Supervision, Golden Personality Profiler: Mag. Dinstl uses all of the content of the advisory units according to the assignment, depending on the situation. The information and advice in coaching sessions and in all documentation is carefully considered and checked by the coach. In this sense, the success of coaching and supervision, which means that the customer can find satisfactory answers to every question, cannot be guaranteed. As there are no solution concepts offered in coaching and supervision, Ms. Mag. Dinstl assumes no liability for the customer’s actions resulting from the coaching. A service contract is concluded, not a contract for work. The customer is not obliged to purchase a certain number of coaching units. The coaching process can be interrupted by the customer at any time.

VI. Scope:

Austrian law applies to all orders. The contractual partners will endeavor to settle any disagreements amicably – if necessary with the help of an arbitrator. In so far as ordinary courts have to be involved, Vienna is the exclusive place of jurisdiction.

If individual provisions are ineffective or if these agreements contain a loophole, this does not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions. Instead of the ineffective provisions or to fill the gap, an appropriate regulation should apply that comes as close as possible to the (presumed) will of the contracting parties prevailing at the time the contract was concluded.

Additional additions or amendments to this agreement must be in writing to be legally effective. This also applies to a departure from this formal requirement. With the signing of the offer or the agreement, any agreements and agreements made so far that are not expressly mentioned in this offer or this agreement will become invalid or invalid.
