These Terms & Conditions (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the BdB Hold B.V. website and any related pages, forms, and materials we provide (the “Site”). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Site. If you are under 18, you may use the Site only with the involvement and supervision of a parent or legal guardian. Our Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference and forms part of these Terms.

2. Educational Service Disclaimer (Scope of Services)

BdB Hold B.V. is an independent provider of online professional education serving learners throughout Canada. Our services may include online courses, self-paced programs, virtual workshops, webinars, downloadable learning resources, and learner support related to the educational materials.

All content on the Site is provided exclusively for educational and informational purposes. Nothing on the Site constitutes professional advice. BdB Hold B.V. does not provide holding company services, consulting, financial services, legal services, accounting, investment services, recruitment, employment placement, software development, engineering services, healthcare services, immigration services, or any other regulated professional services.

Participation in educational programs does not guarantee employment, promotions, certifications, business success, or financial outcomes. Learners remain responsible for independently applying acquired knowledge in their own context and for validating suitability within their workplace, industry, and applicable laws.

3. Service Description and Changes

The Site describes our education offerings (for example: Business Administration Fundamentals, Workplace Communication, Leadership Development, Project Management Fundamentals, Productivity & Organization, and the Professional Skills Development Program). Program durations are typical completion windows and may vary by learner pace and scheduled session timing.

We may update, revise, add, or remove content and offerings from time to time. We may also modify or discontinue parts of the Site or any educational materials at any time. Where changes materially affect an existing registration request you have submitted, we will aim to communicate next steps using the contact details you provided.

4. Registration Requests and Communications

The Site may include forms that allow you to request registration details, workshop participation information, or learner support. When you submit a form, you agree that the information you provide is accurate and that you will not submit misleading, unlawful, or harmful content.

We may respond by email or phone. Response time targets published on the Site are estimates and not a guarantee. You understand that electronic communications are not always secure, and you agree that we may communicate with you electronically to handle your inquiry.

The Site and all materials are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, BdB Hold B.V. disclaims all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and accuracy.

We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components. Educational content may contain inadvertent errors or omissions; we do not guarantee completeness or that materials will meet your specific requirements.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, BdB Hold B.V. will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, business, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Site or educational materials.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, BdB Hold B.V.’s total liability for any claim arising out of or related to the Site will be limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid to BdB Hold B.V. in the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) €100.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for intent (opzet) or wilful misconduct, or liability that must remain unlimited under mandatory consumer protection laws.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless BdB Hold B.V., its directors, officers, employees, and contractors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from or related to: (a) your use of the Site, (b) your submitted information, (c) your violation of these Terms, or (d) your violation of any law or third-party right.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Netherlands, excluding conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Site will be submitted to the competent courts in the Netherlands.

If you are a consumer and mandatory consumer protection laws in your country of residence provide you with rights that cannot be waived, those mandatory rights remain unaffected.

14. Dispute Resolution (Informal Process)

Before starting formal proceedings, you agree to contact us with a brief written description of the issue and your requested resolution. We will attempt to address the matter within 30 days. This informal process does not limit either party’s right to seek urgent interim relief when needed.

15. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or if your use presents a security risk. Sections relating to intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law, and other provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

16. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

17. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and BdB Hold B.V. regarding the Site and supersede any prior or contemporaneous understandings.

20. Modifications to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes will become effective 14 days after posting on this page unless a different effective date is stated. Your continued use of the Site after the effective date indicates acceptance of the updated Terms.
