Conditions of course admission

A bibis course is defined as a set of lessons, the number of which as well as the dates and fees are specified in the respective current bibis programme brochures and information material.

One lesson lasts 45 minutes.

There are no lessons on public holidays.

If the minimum number of 12 enrolments for a course is not met, the class may be cancelled. In this case the fees will be refunded.

 

Registration

Enroling in a bibis course is possible at any time. It has to be done in written form: by sending us a downloadable registration form by letter, fax, email, by completing the online form, or directly in our office.

Registration can be done either in person or by proxy. In the latter case the same terms and conditions apply as if the future participant registered in person.

 

Payment of Course Fees

The course fees have to be paid on registration.

There are special conditions for intensive courses:

The fees of all booked intensive courses have to be paid in advance on registration, at least two weeks before your course starts. If you pay for several classes in advance, you will get a discount for the second and consecutive classes. Alternatively, you can book and pay each follow-up course individually. In this case the full fee has to be paid before the start of the new class.

If you need a visa, you have to book and pay for at least five courses. For the second and all consecutive courses paid together, you will get a discount.

The course fees do not include books and examination fees. The placement test and additional teaching materials are included.

As an exception you can attend a class for a shorter period than the full length of the course. Please contact the bibis student office beforehand. There they will also inform you on the current weekly rate.

 

Cancellation/Postponement

If the registered person cannot participate in the booked class, bibis has to be informed beforehand in written form. The start of a booked course may then be postponed to either the next or a later commencing date, or, if preferred, eventually cancelled.

 

Certification of Attendance

A certificate of attendance can be issued, if students took part in at least 70 p.c. of their bibis course.

 


General Conditions

bibis cannot be held liable for the cancellation of any of its services due to superior force, or to any reason which lies outside bibis’s responsibility.

Participating in bibis courses is at the student’s own risk.

bibis does not perform any supervising duties with respect to participants of the courses, not even under-age students.

German Law applies.

Place of jurisdiction is Bielefeld.

We would like to make you aware of the rights afforded to you by the EU General Data Protection Regulation:
You have the following rights:

Article 15

  1. The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller (bibis e.V., August-Bebel-Str. 135-145, 33602 Bielefeld) confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her is being processed and, that being the case, access to the personal data and the following information:
    a)    the purposes of the processing;
    b)    the categories of personal data concerned;
    c)    the recipients or categories of recipient to whom the personal data has been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations;
    d)    where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period;
    e)    the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing of personal data concerning the data subject or to object to such processing;
    f)    the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
    g)    if the personal data is not collected from the data subject, any available information as to its source;
    h)    the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.
  2. If personal data is transferred to a third country or international organisation, the data subject shall have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 relating to the transfer.
  3. The controller shall provide a copy of the personal data undergoing processing. For any further copies requested by the data subject, the controller may charge a reasonable fee based on administrative costs. If the data subject makes the request by electronic means, and unless otherwise requested by the data subject, the information shall be provided in a commonly used electronic form.

The right to obtain a copy referred to in Paragraph 3 shall not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

 

Article 16
Right to Rectification

The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller (bibis e.V., August-Bebel-Str. 135-145, 33602 Bielefeld) the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her without undue delay. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.

Article 17
Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”)

  1. The data subject shall have the right to request from the controller (bibis e.V., August-Bebel-Str. 135-145, 33602 Bielefeld) the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, and the controller shall be obliged to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:
    a)    the personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed;
    b)    the data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to point (a) of Article 6(1), or point (a) of Article 9(2), and where there is no other legal ground for the processing;
    c)    the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2);
    d)    the personal data has been unlawfully processed;
    e)    the personal data has to be erased to comply with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject;
    f)    the personal data has been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1).
  2. If the controller has made the personal data public and is obliged to erase it in accordance with Paragraph 1, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers which are processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, such personal data.
  3. Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not apply if processing is necessary:
    a)    to exercise the right of freedom of expression and information;
    b)    to comply with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
    c)    for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with points (h) and (i) of Article 9(2) as well as Article 9(3);
    d)    for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) in so far as the right referred to in Paragraph 1 is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or
    e)    for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Article 18
Right to Restriction of Processing

  1. The data subject shall have the right to request from the controller (bibis e.V., August-Bebel-Str. 135-145, 33602 Bielefeld) the restriction of processing if any of the following applies:
    a)    the accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
    b)    the processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of its use instead;
    c)    the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
    d)    the data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
  2. Where processing has been restricted under Paragraph 1, such personal data shall, with the exception of storage, only be processed with the data subject’s consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.
  3. A data subject who has obtained restriction of processing pursuant to Paragraph 1 shall be informed by the controller before the restriction of processing is lifted.

Article 19
Notification Obligation Regarding Rectification or Erasure of Personal Data or Restriction of Processing

The controller (bibis e.V., August-Bebel-Str. 135-145, 33602 Bielefeld) shall communicate any rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing carried out in accordance with Article 16, Article 17(1) and Article 18 to each recipient to whom the personal data has been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. The controller shall inform the data subject about those recipients if the data subject requests it.

 

Article 20
Right to Data Portability

  1. The data subject shall have the right to receive any personal data concerning him or her that he or she has provided to the controller (bibis e.V., August-Bebel-Str. 135-145, 33602 Bielefeld), in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. The data subject shall also be entitled to transmit such data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been provided, where:
    a)    the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) or point (a) of Article 9(2) or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1); and
    b)    the processing is carried out by automated means.
  2. In exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Paragraph 1, the data subject shall have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another where technically feasible.
  3. The exercise of the right referred to in Paragraph 1 of this Article shall be without prejudice to Article 17. That right shall not apply to processing necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
  4. The right referred to in Paragraph 1 shall not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

 

Article 21
Right to Object

  1. The data subject shall always be entitled to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1), including profiling based on those provisions. The controller (bibis e.V., August-Bebel-Str. 135-145, 33602 Bielefeld) shall no longer process the personal data unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
  2. If personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing, including profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
  3. If the data subject objects to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data shall no longer be processed for such purposes.
  4. At the latest at the time of the first communication with the data subject, the right referred to in Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be explicitly brought to the attention of the data subject and shall be presented clearly and separately from any other information.
  5. In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, the data subject may exercise his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
  6. If personal data is processed for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1), the data subject, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, shall have the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning him or her, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
