General Terms and Conditions
1. Scope of application
All legal transactions concluded via the website at www.devkickstart.tech, which is operated by DevKickStart GmbH, or concluded with Cyril Khan or Manuela Brunner directly are subject to these General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as "GTC"). DevKickStart reserves the right to amend these GTC at any time. The version valid at the time of booking shall apply.

2. Offer
DevKickStart offers coaching in the area of self-branding, marketing and sales for software developers. The offers and their prices on the website, if stated, are non-binding offers.
The coaching does not guarantee a better job or more projects, as the responsibility for implementation lies exclusively with the client.

2.1. DevKickStart Program
The duration of the DevKickStart program is 6 months, including the coaching material, weekly group-calls and chat support on work days.

2.2. Special Note on Vacations:
As there are only two Coaches and founders at DevKickStart, there will be a few weeks each year when the Coaches are on vacation. During the onboarding process, the Coaches will clearly communicate the DevKickStart’s vacations to the Client. This ensures there will be no confusion about the unsupported weeks.
It is at the discretion of the Coach, out of goodwill, to append his holiday absences to the six months. As a result, the DevKickStart program will end once the extra weeks are over. Therefore, the Client will lose access to the DevKickStart course material.

3. Responsibilities and duties of the coach towards the client
1. Conduct a weekly 1-hour group coaching session through an online call tool. Group calls will be scheduled throughout the week and not on weekends.
2. Provide assignments and/or resources and provide feedback on the assignments as requested by the client.
3. Offer asynchronous support through a chat tool.
4. The total time allocated for the preparation of assignments/resources and chat support shall not exceed one hour.
5. Assess progress and adjust strategies as needed.

4. Responsibilities and duties of the client towards the coach

4. Use our chat tool to ask any questions that may arise.
5. Communicate any concerns or issues promptly within agreed-upon guidelines.


5. Prices
DevKickStart is free to set prices and change them at any time. The price that is quoted in the sales call is the one that counts.
Prices are quoted in euros and must also be paid in this currency. VAT is currently not charged and therefore not shown, as DevKickStart is not currently liable for VAT.
This is a one-time payment and must be paid after the client decides to join the DevKickStart program. Payments can be made by credit card or via PayPal.
The fees are non-refundable.


6. Conclusion of contract
A contract between DevKickStart and its customers is concluded with the commitment in the sales meeting and it's payment during the sales process.

7. Postponement of 1:1 coaching sessions by the client
The date of postponement is the day on which DevKickStart receives the written cancellation of participation from the client. The session can be postponed at least in advance 48 hours before the coaching appointment and a new date will be agreed. In the event of a cancellation at short notice, the coaching session counts as "completed" and will not be added to the remaining sessions.
The Coach reserves the right to bill the Client for a missed meeting.
The Coach will attempt in good faith to reschedule the missed meeting.

8. Cancellation by DevKickStart
