Content and execution of the training

1. The service of Anatoly Zelenin comprises the execution of the training, including the provision of a learning environment, for example by virtual machines in the cloud or by images of virtual machines for own operation, as well as training materials. If suitable materials are not available in the training language, English-language materials will be used. Upon completion of the training, participants receive a certificate of attendance.
2. In the case of public trainings, Anatoly Zelenin sets a date and a medium for conducting the training. Currently, the corresponding trainings take place only online, but this can change at any time.
3. The content of the training is determined by the course description or the agreement with the customer. Adaptations are possible in consultation with the participants, due to a lack of previous knowledge or due to technical necessities, as long as the goal of the training is maintained.
4. If the announced trainer is unable to attend, the training can be conducted by another qualified person.
5. The participants use their own devices during the training. Instructions regarding software to be installed are usually communicated ten working days before the start of the training or made available on the website of Anatoly Zelenin. Participants must ensure that they have an up-to-date backup of their data before the start of the training. Anatoly Zelenin is not liable for data loss on or damage to equipment and infrastructure of the participants and the customer, even if this occurred during the training.

Registration, Cancellation, and Cancellation Policy

1. The booking of an open training course or the order of an in-house training course is made by the customer and confirmed by Anatoly Zelenin.
2. The registration is made in writing, by e-mail or via the respective online registration form and is binding. After registration, the customer will receive a confirmation of registration with further information or an immediate notification.
3. As a rule, a decision is made on the implementation of open training courses ten working days before the start of the training. If a training is cancelled, the customer's booking will be cancelled.
4. The short-term cancellation of a training is possible for Anatoly Zelenin, if the implementation of the training is not possible due to unforeseen circumstances. This includes, among other things, the illness of the trainer, the failure of technical systems, a legal ban on the implementation of the training, the failure, or delay of transportation or cases of force majeure. In this case, the customer and the participants will be informed immediately and, if possible, an alternative date will be offered.
5. In case of cancellation of a training by Anatoly Zelenin, the customer's claim for execution of the training is cancelled. No training fee will be charged and already paid training fees will be refunded. Further claims of the customer against Anatoly Zelenin are excluded. This explicitly includes the reimbursement of already incurred travel expenses, accommodation costs, loss of earnings, loss of work or loss of profit.
6. The customer can cancel a booking free of charge up to 13 working days before the start of the training. Cancellations between the 12th and 3rd working day before the start of the training will incur a cancellation fee of half the training fee. In case of a later cancellation, the training fee will be charged in full. This also applies in the event of a participant's non-appearance or if a participant cannot take part in the training due to a lack of technical or professional prerequisites, although these prerequisites were communicated to the customer at least ten working days before the start of the training or are evident from the course description or the notes on the Anatoly Zelenin website.
7. Instead of cancellation, the customer may nominate an alternative participant. In this case, the booking between the customer and Anatoly Zelenin remains valid and applies to the alternatively named participant.

This applies to all forms of training, including in particular open training and in-house training, regardless of whether these are conducted online or in person, and includes both recordings of trainers, participants, and the content of the training. Participants who attempt to record training will be excluded from further participation in the training. Anatoly Zelenin expressly reserves the right to report participants who make recordings that may be criminally relevant.
6. Participants may only use the resources provided within the scope of the training. In particular, virtual machines and other resources connected to the Internet or provided in the cloud may not be used for purposes that are relevant under criminal or civil law.

The customer indemnifies Anatoly Zelenin from all claims and expenses resulting from a non-training-related use of Anatoly Zelenin's resources by participants registered by the customer.
7. If a participant is excluded from a training due to a violation of this Code of Conduct, the customer's claim to the training service is forfeited. There will be no refund of already paid training fees, and Anatoly Zelenin's claim to unpaid training fees remains unchanged.
8. Once excluded, participants can be excluded from participation in further trainings.
