Cancellations by SDI

Changes in the open SDI program: SDI assumes no liability for printing and typing errors in publications and on the homepage.

The minimum number of participants in open seminars and courses depends on the seminar or course.

For organizational reasons, we reserve the right to change the seminar location, the date or the trainer or to cancel a seminar. The participants will be informed by telephone or e-mail about the change/cancellation and possible alternatives.

​

Cooperation

All our trainers and consultants have a contractual relationship with MDI/SDI. The client is not entitled to ask them to accept assignments on their own account.

​
