Terms and Conditions

Terms and Conditions for coaching and consulting services.

1Scope

These Terms and Conditions apply to all coaching, consulting and support services between Roman Levitas, Hörgensweg 53, 22523 Hamburg, email: roman@romanlevitas.com, phone: 0175 6232435, VAT ID no. DE337415375, hereinafter “Coach”, and his clients.

Clients may be individual dancers or dance couples. If two people book an offer for dance couples together, the agreed services apply to both people jointly.

Deviating arrangements require an individual agreement between the Coach and the client.

The website is used exclusively to provide information about the services offered and to make contact. No paid contract can be concluded via the website. A contract is concluded exclusively by an individual agreement outside the website, in particular in person, by telephone, by email, WhatsApp or another agreed messenger service.

2Subject matter of the services

The subject matter of the services is individual, situation-based consulting, support and guidance for dancers and dance couples, in particular in the following areas:

  • structure and efficiency of free dance practice
  • practice methodology
  • cooperation and communication within a dance partnership
  • dealing with conflicts in practice
  • mental preparation for practice and dance competitions
  • dealing with nervousness, stage fright and performance pressure in a sporting context
  • reflection on practice and competition situations
  • individual support with current problems during practice or in connection with competitions

The type and content of the consulting are generally based on the individual situation, questions and goals of the respective client. There is no standardised teaching plan, no fixed curriculum and no standardised teaching material.

No specific dance, sporting, personal or other success is owed. In particular, no specific competition results, performance improvements or other outcomes are guaranteed.

The Coach provides his services to the best of his knowledge and belief. The decision on implementing recommendations and the responsibility for the client’s own practice and actions remain with the client.

3Distinction from medical and psychotherapeutic services

The coaching is not medical treatment, psychotherapy or any other healthcare treatment and does not replace such treatment.

In particular, no mental or physical illnesses are diagnosed or treated.

The coaching concerns in particular sport-related performance, practice, communication and conflict topics as well as mental challenges in connection with dance practice and dance competitions.

If, in the Coach’s assessment, a situation requires medical, psychotherapeutic or other specialist treatment, the Coach may recommend consulting appropriately qualified professionals.

4VIP Coaching

VIP Coaching is continuous personal support. The price is:

  • 400 euros per dance couple and support month
  • 250 euros per individual and support month

VIP Coaching may in particular include:

  • communication via agreed messenger services such as WhatsApp, Instagram or Facebook Messenger
  • text and voice messages
  • telephone calls
  • video calls by arrangement
  • support with current practice or conflict situations
  • support before and – where available – during dance competitions
  • discussion and reflection on practice situations
  • individual recommendations and practice tasks

Replies and conversations take place as quickly as possible, taking the Coach’s respective availability into account. A specific response time is not guaranteed unless expressly agreed individually otherwise.

5Fair-use rule for VIP Coaching

VIP Coaching is deliberately designed without a fixed minute or hour allowance.

Clients may contact the Coach within the agreed communication channels as often as this is useful for their current practice, competition or conflict situations.

Support is provided depending on availability and according to the fair-use principle.

VIP Coaching is not to be understood as an unlimited booking or permanent exclusive provision of the Coach’s working time.

In particular, there is no entitlement to permanent availability, immediate replies, a specific number or duration of telephone or video calls or interruption of the Coach’s other professional or private obligations at any time.

Temporarily intensive use of the coaching may also be covered by the fair-use principle, for example in connection with important competitions or acute conflict situations.

In the event of exceptionally intensive or permanently disproportionate use, the Coach and the client will jointly agree on the further form of support.

6VIP Coaching – Pay per Minute

As an alternative to monthly VIP Coaching, the same type of individual support can be used flexibly and according to usage.

Billing is at 3 euros per minute of the Coach’s actual working time.

Billable working time may in particular include:

  • telephone and video calls
  • processing and answering text or voice messages
  • analysing information or material sent by the client
  • other coaching or consulting services provided individually for the client

Pure waiting time between messages or time during which the Coach is not actively working for the client is not billed.

Flexible services are not a subscription and do not renew automatically.

The first paid flexible service starts a support month of one month. This does not follow the calendar month.

Example: first paid service on 10 September → support month from 10 September up to and including 9 October.

Pay-per-Minute services and individual Coaching Sessions are added together within this support month.

The following caps apply to flexible coaching services:

  • 310 euros per support month for individuals
  • 500 euros per support month for dance couples

If the relevant cap is reached, the client automatically receives VIP status for the rest of the support month already in progress, under the terms of VIP Coaching including the fair-use rule.

Reaching the cap does not start a new support month and does not start a new support month.

The automatically created VIP status ends automatically when the support month already in progress expires. No cancellation is required for this. Afterwards, no subscription and no further payment obligation arise.

Only the next paid flexible service after this period has expired starts a new support month again.

If the client then wishes to use regular VIP Coaching, it can be booked separately for 250 euros per individual or 400 euros per dance couple and support month.

7Individual Coaching Sessions

Individual Coaching Sessions are included in monthly VIP Coaching according to the fair-use rule. Otherwise, they can be booked outside VIP Coaching.

The current price is 75 euros for 45 minutes.

Individual Coaching Sessions are counted together with Pay-per-Minute services toward the relevant cap for flexible coaching services. The following caps therefore apply within a support month:

  • 310 euros for individuals
  • 500 euros for dance couples

When the relevant cap is reached, the rules on the automatic VIP upgrade described in section 6 apply.

8Real-time online support during free practice

In real-time online support during free practice, the Coach accompanies or analyses a dance couple’s free practice live and online.

The goal is in particular to observe practice processes, identify problems and, where possible, solve them together with the dancer or dancers and make practice as efficient as possible.

During the current test phase, this service is offered free of charge where this is expressly stated on the website.

The free test phase does not create any entitlement to permanent free provision of this offer. The Coach may change the offer for future bookings, offer it for a fee or discontinue it. Services already expressly agreed remain unaffected.

9Appointments and cancellations

Agreed fixed appointments for Coaching Sessions, telephone calls or video calls are binding.

If a client cannot attend an agreed appointment, cancellation should be made as early as possible.

If the Coach cannot attend an agreed appointment, an alternative appointment will be offered.

No costs arise for the client for a service that has not been provided.

10Client cooperation

The success of consulting or coaching depends significantly on the individual situation and on the client’s own responsible cooperation.

The client decides themselves whether and how recommendations, exercises or practice suggestions are implemented.

Responsibility for physical strain and sporting execution remains with the client.

In the event of health complaints or doubts, qualified medical advice should be obtained before corresponding physical strain.

11Fees and payment terms

The prices agreed or stated on the website at the time of booking apply.

The fee for regular monthly VIP Coaching is payable in advance for the respective support month. The first support month begins after receipt of payment or at the individually agreed time.

Usage-based services, in particular VIP Coaching – Pay per Minute, are due for payment after the respective service has been provided. Several usage-based services within one support month may be billed together.

Individual Coaching Sessions are due for payment after the respective session has been held, unless something else has been agreed individually.

Payment is made via the payment methods offered or agreed in each case. A standing order is not required. Available payment methods:

  • Bank transfer: IBAN DE73 4401 0046 0321 8964 62, BIC PBNKDEFF
  • PayPal: roman_levitas@yahoo.de
  • Cash payment, if individually agreed

Where legally required, an invoice will be issued. The client’s statutory claims to the issue of an invoice remain unaffected.

12Term, renewal and cancellation of VIP Coaching

Regular VIP Coaching is booked for one individual support month at a time.

There is no minimum term beyond the respective current support month.

The support month is not based on the calendar month, but on the individual start date of VIP Coaching.

Example: if VIP Coaching begins on 17 September, the first support month runs from 17 September up to and including 16 October.

The fee for the first support month is payable in advance.

If VIP Coaching is not cancelled, it automatically renews for one further support month at a time.

Cancellation is possible at any time with effect at the end of the current support month. It can be declared up to and including the last day of the respective support month.

Example: if the current support month runs from 17 September up to and including 16 October, cancellation can be declared up to and including 16 October. If there is no cancellation, the next support month automatically begins on 17 October.

The fee for the respective following support month becomes due on the first day of this new support month and is payable in advance for this support month. The Coach may send a payment reminder a few days before the start of the next support month.

If the fee due for an already renewed support month is not paid, there is no entitlement to further coaching or support services until the due amount has been paid.

Cancellations may be declared in text form. The following cancellation channels are available in particular:

  • Email to roman@romanlevitas.com
  • WhatsApp, where WhatsApp is used as a communication channel between Coach and client
  • Instagram Messenger, where Instagram is used as a communication channel between Coach and client
  • Facebook Messenger, where Facebook Messenger is used as a communication channel between Coach and client

Cancellation via a messenger service is possible in particular if that service is already used for communication between Coach and client and the message can be clearly attributed to the Coach.

No reason is required for ordinary cancellation. The cancellation must clearly show that the client wishes to end VIP Coaching. No specific wording is required for this.

Cancellation by telephone is not provided as an agreed cancellation channel. This is intended in particular to avoid ambiguity and evidential problems regarding the content and receipt of a cancellation.

After an effective cancellation, the client receives electronic confirmation of the cancellation with the legally required information, insofar as such confirmation is legally prescribed.

The cancellation ends regular VIP Coaching at the end of the current support month. Until that time, the client may continue to use the agreed VIP services under the applicable terms, including the fair-use rule.

By contrast, the automatic VIP upgrade due to reaching the cap for flexible services is not an automatically renewing subscription. This VIP status ends automatically when the support month expires and does not need to be cancelled.

13Right of withdrawal for consumers

Where the client, as a consumer, has a statutory right of withdrawal due to a contract concluded at a distance, the statutory provisions apply.

The legally required withdrawal information and the model withdrawal form are provided separately: withdrawal information and model withdrawal form.

If, at the express request of a consumer, the service is to begin before the withdrawal period has expired, the express declarations required for this are obtained as part of the individual agreement outside the website.

14Liability

The statutory liability provisions apply.

Liability for intent, gross negligence and for damage arising from injury to life, body or health is not limited.

15Technical communication and third-party providers

Where communication takes place at the client’s request or by agreement via services such as WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, video conferencing services or comparable third-party providers, the technical terms and privacy policies of the respective providers apply additionally.

The privacy policy of this website takes into account the communication channels and services actually used.

16Confidentiality

The Coach generally treats personal information entrusted to him in the course of coaching confidentially, unless legal obligations or the explicit consent of the person concerned oppose confidential treatment.

When coaching dance couples, it must be taken into account that information that one person communicates separately to the Coach is not automatically intended to be passed on to the respective dance partner. The handling of such information should be agreed transparently in the specific coaching.

18Consumer dispute resolution

The Coach is neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

The Coach’s email address is roman@romanlevitas.com.

19Final provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies while preserving mandatory consumer protection provisions that apply to consumers due to their habitual residence.

If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is or becomes invalid, the legal consequences are governed by the statutory provisions.
