3.3. The Company does not sell physical goods, tickets to public events, travel packages, gift cards or subscriptions.
4. How a contract is concluded
- The Client sends an inquiry via the Website contacts, email, phone or messenger, stating the Event date, location, format and expected number of guests.
- The Company checks availability and sends a Proposal.
- The Client confirms the Proposal in writing (email or messenger is sufficient).
- The Company issues an invoice or a secure payment link for the Deposit.
- The contract is concluded and the Event date is reserved once the Deposit is received. Payment of the Deposit means full acceptance of these Terms, the Refund & Cancellation Policy and the Privacy Policy.
4.1. The Company may decline an order, for example if the date is not available or the Event is incompatible with applicable law.
5. Prices
5.1. Indicative price ranges are published on the Pricing page. The binding price is the one stated in the Proposal or invoice.
5.2. All prices are in euro (EUR). Where value added tax (VAT) applies, it is charged in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Cyprus and shown on the invoice.
5.3. Unless the Proposal states otherwise, the Total Fee does not include: travel (flights, transfers), accommodation and per diem outside Limassol; venue rental, catering, AV equipment, artists, photographers, videographers, décor, printing and other Vendor services. Such costs are either paid by the Client directly to the Vendor or invoiced by the Company at cost, as agreed in the Proposal.
6. Payment and prepayment
6.1. Payment schedule: a Deposit of 1/3 of the Total Fee is paid when the Event date is confirmed; the balance is paid before the Event date, by the due date stated in the invoice. For individual training sessions and short consulting projects the Company may require 100% prepayment.
6.2. Accepted payment methods: bank transfer to the Company's account stated in the invoice, and Visa or Mastercard card payment via a secure payment link issued by a licensed payment service provider. Details are on the Payment page.
6.3. A payment is considered made when the funds are credited to the Company's account or confirmed by the payment provider. Fees charged by the Client's bank or card issuer, including currency conversion, are borne by the Client.
6.4. If the balance is not received by the due date, the Company sends a reminder. If payment is still not made within 3 business days, the Company may suspend performance and treat the order as cancelled by the Client under the Refund & Cancellation Policy.
6.5. The Company issues an invoice or receipt for every payment.
7. Changes and rescheduling
7.1. The Client may request changes to the scope, programme or number of guests. Changes that affect the Company's work or costs are confirmed in writing and may change the Total Fee.
7.2. Moving the Event to another date is possible subject to the Company's availability and on the terms of the Refund & Cancellation Policy.
8. Cancellation and refunds
8.1. Cancellation by the Client, cancellation by the Company, refund amounts and refund timelines are governed by the Refund & Cancellation Policy, which forms an integral part of these Terms.
8.2. In summary: the Deposit of 1/3 of the Total Fee is non-refundable; the amount retained on cancellation by the Client depends on how many days before the Event the cancellation is received; if the Company cancels, the Client receives a full refund of all amounts paid, including the Deposit; refunds are made to the original payment method within 14 days.
8.3. Right of withdrawal for consumers. Under Article 16(l) of Directive 2011/83/EU on consumer rights, as implemented in the Republic of Cyprus, the 14-day right of withdrawal does not apply to services related to leisure activities where the contract provides for a specific date or period of performance, such as planning, production and hosting of an Event on a fixed date. For other Services ordered at a distance by a consumer (for example, individual training), the consumer may withdraw within 14 days of concluding the contract. If the consumer expressly asked us to start performance during that period, a proportionate amount for the Services already provided is payable, and the right of withdrawal is lost once the Services have been fully performed.
9. Obligations of the parties
9.1. The Company undertakes to provide the Services with professional care and on time, keep the Client informed about preparation, coordinate Vendors within the agreed scope and keep the Client's information confidential.
9.2. The Client undertakes to provide accurate and timely information needed for the Services (programme, key names, venue access, technical requirements), ensure safe working conditions at the venue, pay on time and inform the Company promptly of any changes.
9.3. For Events outside Limassol or abroad, travel, accommodation and transfers are arranged and paid as set out in the Proposal.
10. Third-party vendors
10.1. The Company selects and coordinates Vendors with due care. Where a Vendor contracts directly with the Client, the Vendor is responsible for its services under its own terms, and the Company's responsibility is limited to coordination within the agreed scope.
10.2. Where a Vendor is engaged and paid through the Company, the Company is responsible to the Client for the proper engagement of that Vendor as part of the Services.
11. Liability
11.1. Each party is liable for failure to perform its obligations in accordance with these Terms and the law of the Republic of Cyprus.
11.2. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company's total liability under a contract is limited to the Total Fee actually paid by the Client, and the Company is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit or reputational damage.
11.3. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or any liability that cannot be limited under mandatory law, including consumer protection law.
11.4. The Company is not responsible for the behaviour of guests, the rules of the venue, or Vendors contracted directly by the Client.
12. Force majeure
12.1. Neither party is liable for failure or delay caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, epidemics and related government restrictions, war, terrorism, civil unrest, strikes, failures of transport or public utilities, and decisions of public authorities.
12.2. The affected party must notify the other party promptly. The parties first try to move the Event to a new date within 12 months, with all payments carried over. If no new date can be agreed, the consequences are set out in the Refund & Cancellation Policy.
12.3. If the Company cannot perform because the lead specialist is ill or otherwise unable to attend, this is treated as cancellation by the Company with a full refund, unless the Client accepts an equivalent replacement in writing.
13. Intellectual property, photo and video
13.1. Scripts, concepts, formats, presentations and training materials created by the Company remain its intellectual property. The Client receives a non-exclusive right to use them for the Event concerned and for its internal purposes.

14. Personal data
14.1. The Company processes personal data in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and the laws of the Republic of Cyprus, as described in the Privacy Policy.
15. Complaints
15.1. Complaints about the Services can be sent to Odessense.cy@gmail.com within 14 days after the Event or training session. The Company acknowledges receipt within 3 business days and replies on the merits within 14 days.
15.2. We ask Clients to contact us before disputing a card payment with their bank: most questions are resolved faster directly.
15.3. Consumers may also contact the Consumer Protection Service of the Republic of Cyprus.
16. Governing law and disputes
16.1. These Terms and every contract concluded under them are governed by the laws of the Republic of Cyprus.
16.2. The parties will try to resolve any dispute by negotiation. If no agreement is reached within 30 days, the dispute is submitted to the competent courts of the Republic of Cyprus in Limassol.
16.3. If the Client is a consumer resident in another EU Member State, this does not deprive the Client of the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of that State or of the right to bring proceedings in its courts.
17. Final provisions
17.1. The Company may update these Terms. The version published on the Website on the date the Deposit is paid applies to that contract.
17.2. These Terms are published in English, Russian and Ukrainian. In case of any discrepancy, the English version prevails.
17.3. If any provision is found invalid, the remaining provisions stay in force.
