2. Subject Matter of the Contract and Service Description

2.1. “The Visibility Academy”
The “Visibility Academy” is a structured online learning programme consisting of pre‑recorded digital content (videos, texts, templates). Topics include, in particular:

• business decision‑making and clarity,

• building systems and processes,

• business development and leadership skills,

• strategic implementation and visibility.

Content is delivered via the platform systeme.io and can be accessed by participants as self‑paced online learning. All services are educational in nature and do not constitute legal, tax, financial or other professional advice.

2.2. “The Visibility Implementation Lab”
“The Visibility Implementation Lab” is a 3‑month live programme with typically two live group sessions (Mentoring / Workshop) per month (for example via Google Meet or comparable tools). Participants also receive:

• access to the “Visibility Academy” for 12 months, and

• access to an online community (e.g. for exchange, questions, materials).

2.3. Additional Programmes
We may offer additional programmes (masterminds, alumni circles, events, etc.). These T&Cs shall apply mutatis mutandis to such programmes unless special terms are provided for the specific programme.

2.4. Changes and Ongoing Development
We may adapt, update, expand or restructure content, modules, trainers and the technical setup of our programmes, provided that the core benefit for the Client remains substantially the same. The Client has no claim to an unchanged, specific scope of content, formats or trainers.

3. Conclusion of Contract and Booking Process

3.1. Any presentation of our services on websites, landing pages, brochures or social media does not constitute a binding offer but an invitation to the Client to submit an offer.

3.2. The Client submits a binding offer to conclude a contract by completing the relevant booking process (e.g. via systeme.io) and clicking the respective order button (such as “book with payment obligation”).

3.3. A contract is only formed once we accept the offer, by either:

• sending an explicit order / payment confirmation by e‑mail, or

• activating the Client’s access to the “Visibility Academy”, or

• sending access details for the live programme.

3.4. For free challenges, free events or free trial offerings, specific conditions may apply; these will be communicated in the sign‑up form or programme description.

4. Prices, VAT and Payment

4.1. The applicable prices are those indicated on the website or in the order form at the time of booking. Prices are displayed in a way that an average user can read and understand them easily and can clearly see whether VAT and other charges are included or not, as required by ECG §5(2).

4.2. Our services are generally subject to the Austrian standard VAT rate (currently 20%), unless a specific exemption applies. For cross‑border B2B services, VAT treatment may depend on the Client’s place of establishment, in line with the rules on the place of supply of services (in particular UStG §3a(6)).

4.3. Payment is made via the payment methods offered in the order process (currently in particular Stripe – credit card, and possibly other methods). The terms of the payment service provider apply.
