General Terms and Conditions of Promotion

Organizer

The promotional campaigns are organized by Data Protection Institute, with registered office at 2018 Antwerp, Grotehondstraat 44 1/1, registered in the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises under number 0849.293.297, hereinafter referred to as “DPI.”

Scope of application

These general terms and conditions apply to all temporary promotional campaigns organized by DPI, regardless of the name or communication medium of the campaign (such as Cyber Monday, Summer Campaign, or similar campaigns).

Specific terms and conditions may apply to individual promotions. These supplement the general terms and conditions and take precedence in the event of any conflict.

Temporary nature of promotions

All promotions organized by DPI are strictly temporary and are valid only during the explicitly stated promotional period.

At the end of the promotional period, all promotional benefits automatically expire, without DPI being obliged to provide any form of compensation or extension.

Target group

Each campaign is aimed at a clearly defined target group, as specified in the specific campaign conditions.

The target group can be defined on the basis of objective criteria, including (but not limited to):

  • type of organization,
  • sector,
  • function or role of the participant,
  • size of the organization,
  • geographical location.

DPI reserves the right to refuse participation in a promotion if the target group conditions are not met.

Exclusion of public sector prices

Promotional offers do not apply to public sector prices.

Public sector prices are structurally and permanently reduced, taking into account the specific legal, organizational, and budgetary context in which these organizations operate. This adjusted pricing aims to give public organizations sustainable and fair access to DPI’s services and training courses.

For this reason, promotional offers cannot be applied to public sector prices and cannot be combined with these structural discounts.

Non-cumulation

Unless expressly stated otherwise in the specific terms and conditions of the promotion, promotional offers cannot be combined with other discounts, benefits, or promotions.

Modification or termination of promotions

DPI reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate a promotion at any time if circumstances so require, without this giving rise to any right to compensation. Benefits already granted remain valid within the originally communicated promotion period.

Liability

DPI cannot be held liable for:

  • technical malfunctions,
  • material errors,
  • printing or typesetting errors,
  • or misunderstandings regarding the interpretation of promotion terms and conditions.
  • Applicable law and competent court

These promotional terms and conditions are governed exclusively by Belgian law.
Any disputes shall fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the judicial district of Antwerp.

Stay Tuned Free Seats (Trial Sessions) – Specific Terms and Conditions

Description of the Promotion

Within the framework of the Stay Tuned program, DPI offers the opportunity to participate in selected trial sessions (“Free Seats”) free of charge. The number of available seats for these sessions is limited.

Cancellation and No-show Fee

While participation in these sessions is free, the organization incurs costs and seats are reserved that can no longer be taken by others. Therefore, the following strict cancellation rules apply:

  • Timely Cancellation: Cancellation of a registration for a Free Seat must be submitted in writing (via email) at least 4 weeks (28 calendar days) before the date of the trial session.

  • No-show Fee: If the participant does not attend the session without timely cancellation (less than 4 weeks’ notice or absence without notice), an administrative fee of 350 EUR (excl. VAT) will be charged.

  • Replacement: To avoid the no-show fee, a colleague from the same organization may participate in your place, provided this is reported to DPI in writing in advance.

Limitations

  • Free Seats are non-transferable to other courses or individuals outside of your own organization.

  • The promotion is subject to availability (first come, first served).

  • The no-show fee is irrevocably due in case of non-compliance with the cancellation period, regardless of the reason for absence.
