5. Booking time and other important information
Any appointment made on Biz in Poland’s booking pages must be done 3 business days the earliest before the chosen appointment date unless it in writing has been agreed otherwise. It can be rescheduled 24 hours before by the client and/or the owner of Biz in Poland (Søren Christensen). It is “only” possible to book 60 days ahead. If it is needed by the client to book further ahead he or she can write Biz in Poland at info@bizinpoland.com and further details will be agreed in writing.
When the booking and payment is done the appointment is pending until Søren Christensen approves it. Clients will get all the information regarding for example Zoom meeting details payments and booking via e-mail notifications to the email provided when the client made the booking and payment. But the client of course always contact Biz in Poland for any questions regarding the booking and payments.
Purchasing any of the consulting services is personal and connected to the client buying any of Biz in Poland’s consulting services. Therefore it can not be handed over to any other person or company. If, contrary to expectations, I have to cancel a consulting session, it will be replaced by a new appointment.
I, Søren Christensen, can cancel any appointment at any time and clients will get their money back in these cases unless I will find another time together with the client.
6. Choosing the right consultation session
Before choosing the time for the consultation session it is very important that the client choose the right type of consultation type for example can a member of the Business in Poland Mentor program not choose the 1 hour Video consulting if he or she has not bought that.
In these kinds of situations the chosen consultation session will be rejected and the client has to choose another time slot. If the client has any problem using the booking system she/he can contact me at info@bizinpoland.com and I will make the booking in agreement with the client.
7. Time zones and appointments
Please notice that all the time slots on bizinpoland.coms booking pages are in the Warsaw, Poland time zone! The customer is responsible for the chosen date and time and must be aware of the time zone issue before booking and payment are done! The appointment date can be changed to the appointment day under the client control panel or be done in writing to me at info@bizinpoland.com.
8. Prices and VAT
All prices are incl. 23% VAT. As Biz in Poland is owned and operated by the Polish registered company “Søren Christensen”, other companies registered within the EU do not have to pay VAT on purchases on bizinpoland.com.
However, this does not apply if this company is also registered in Poland or if it is a private individual who makes the purchase. In those cases, VAT must be paid. It is Polish VAT which in that case must be paid and it is 23 percent.
Therefore you must register as a EU firm with a valid VAT number if you must be refunded the 23 percent of VAT. If it is not an active VAT number, it will not be accepted!If you don’t do so before the appointment you will not be entitled to the VAT refund due to bookkeeping issues.
9. Cancelling and rescheduling any consulting appointments
Should anything occur so the consulting appointment cant be held as planned the client will be informed min. 24 hours before the start of the scheduled appointment or as fast as possible.
The consulting sessions can then be rescheduled for another day and of course free of extra charge. The customer can also reschedule the appointment 24 hours before. If so then the client has to inform Biz in Poland in writing to info@bizinpoland.com and 24 hours before the appointment is scheduled to take place.
10. Digital products
All digital products are made and sold by me, Søren Christensen, owner of bizinpoland.com. It is also via Payhip and Stripe that I am selling these digital products.
They must not be resold without my permission in writing. If they are being resold without my permission the person will be prosecuted according to the polish law.
All the terms and conditions regarding each product are described on each of the digital product pages besides the ones mentioned here. The disclaimer also covers all the digital products that I, Søren Christensen and bizinpoland.com are selling.

11. 60-days money back guarantee

It must be as soon as possible and no later than 60 days after the purchase of the service and/or digital products and be done per e-mail to info@bizinpoland.com
But please notice: it must be a very detailed written and well argumentation why a full or partly refund should take place. It is not enough just to write that you did not like the voice of the host or for example if it was about one subject and then you are complaining about a totally different subject not even related to that specific product etc. But otherwise you will of course be entitled to a refund for sure.
