ARTICLE 7. | DISCOUNT ON ADDITIONAL TRAINING
1. If in case of a coaching and training program entered into for a fixed period or a 12-week program, including a 1 on 1 session, a discount is offered by P&P Lifestyle Coaching on additional training, this discount exclusively applies in case Parties have established the date and hour of this training during the fixed duration of the coaching and training program, or respectively the 12 weeks of the 12-week program.

If the credit is not used, the appointment lapses without the Counterparty being entitled to recovering it without additional charges.

2. In case the Counterparty goes on vacation for less than four weeks, the Counterparty must follow the sessions in the remaining part of the relevant month, unless this is not reasonably possible considering the number of sessions and the limited duration of the remainder of the month, in which case the Counterparty, at the latest two months before the start of the vacation, must communicate to Lifestyle Coaching that it will go on vacation. In that case, Lifestyle Coaching will find an appropriate solution in consultation with the Counterparty.
ARTICLE 11. | HEALTH
The Counterparty declares implicitly that as far as he/she knows he/she is healthy and physically able to make use of the Services without harm to his/her health. The Counterparty guarantees that he/she is in good physical and psychological conditions, that he/she is not aware of any medical or other grounds preventing him/her from making use of the Services and that the Provision of Services is not harmful to the health, safety, wellbeing, or the physical condition of the Counterparty. Making use of the Services by the Counterparty occurs exclusively at his/her own risk.
ARTICLE 12. | TRAINING SESSIONS
1. The costs of visits to and use of the training location are not included in the Agreement. If the Counterparty does not have a membership with the relevant training location, he/she must purchase a day pass at own expense. Also travel and parking costs are borne by the Counterparty.

ARTICLE 13. | FORCE MAJEURE
1. P&P Lifestyle Coaching are not obliged to fulfil any obligation from the Agreement if and for as long as they are prevented from doing so by a circumstance which pursuant to the law, a legal transaction, or commonly held opinion cannot be attributed to them (force majeure), also including an accident or illness of the instructor, the malfunction or outage of lines of communication, as well as government measures or measures by other third parties on which P&P Lifestyle Coaching depends for the implementation of the Agreement. The implementation of the Agreement is suspended in case of temporary force majeure, after which the Provision of Services missed can still be recovered.
2. If the fulfilment of the Agreement becomes permanently impossible due to force majeure, Parties have the right to rescind the Agreement for the part that the situation of force majeure is in regard to with immediate effect.
3. If P&P Lifestyle Coaching when the situation of force majeure becomes effective have already partially fulfilled their obligations or can only fulfil their obligations in part, they have the right to separately invoice the part already implemented, or respectively the implementable part of the Agreement, as if it regarded an autonomous Agreement.
4. Damage as a result of force majeure, without prejudice to the application of the previous section, is never eligible for compensation.
ARTICLE 14. | SUSPENSION AND RESCISSION
1. P&P Lifestyle Coaching are authorized to suspend the further implementation of the Agreement if and for as long as the Counterparty does not comply with its already exigible (payment) obligations from the Agreement (thus also including what is established in these terms and conditions).
2. P&P Lifestyle Coaching are authorized to rescind the Agreement completely or in part with immediate effect if the Counterparty does not, does not timely, or does not fully comply with its obligations from the Agreement, unless the shortcoming of the Counterparty, considering its special nature or minor importance, does not justify such rescission with its consequences. If compliance with the obligations of the Counterparty with respect to which it is falling short has not become permanently impossible, the authority to rescind only arises after the Counterparty has been declared in default by P&P Lifestyle Coaching in Writing, in which default notice a reasonable term is indicated within which the Counterparty can fulfil its obligations (still) and compliance after expiry of the latter term has still failed to occur. What is established in the previous sentence does not apply if P&P Lifestyle Coaching must deduct from a statement of the Counterparty that the Counterparty will fall short in complying, in which case a default notice would therefore be pointless, and the rescission may occur without default notice.
3. Unless the Counterparty has already fully complied with its (future) payment obligations vis-a-vis P&P Lifestyle Coaching, P&P Lifestyle Coaching have the right to rescind the Agreement with immediate effect, completely or in part, if the Counterparty is in a state of bankruptcy, any attachment has been levied on its assets or it is otherwise unable to freely dispose of its assets.

5. The Counterparty is never entitled to any form of compensation of damages in connection with the right of suspension and/or rescission exercised by P&P Lifestyle Coaching on grounds of this article.
6. If the grounds which have led to suspension or rescission of the Agreement can be attributed to the Counterparty (which only in case of section lid 4 does not necessarily have to be the case), P&P Lifestyle Coaching are entitled vis-a-vis the Counterparty to the compensation of the damage incurred by P&P Lifestyle Coaching as a result.
7. If P&P Lifestyle Coaching rescind the Agreement on grounds of this article, any possible still outstanding claims on the Counterparty become instantly payable.
ARTICLE 15. | PAYMENTS
1. Payment for a coaching and training program occurs monthly. This monthly payment occurs by way of an advance payment for the next month. Seven days before the new month starts, the invoice for it is forwarded along with a payment request. The Counterparty subsequently has until seven days after the start of the new month to pay, failing which the further implementation of the Agreement by P&P Lifestyle Coaching is suspended until the outstanding payment is settled, under the proviso that if sessions were scheduled during the time that the payment was outstanding, these lapse, without the Counterparty being entitled to any type of compensation.
2. The price of other Services than those referred to in the previous section is invoiced after adoption of the Agreement and must be settled within seven days after invoice date by way of bank transfer or the enclosed payment link; the payment link is valid for seven days.
3. If timely payment fails to occur, the default of the Counterparty enters into effect legally. As from the day that the default of the Counterparty becomes effective, the Counterparty owes the statutory interest effective at such time on the outstanding amount. The preceding applies without prejudice to the rights of P&P Lifestyle Coaching as referred to in article 14.
