b) if, on the basis of available information and facts, it can be assumed that the consumer has been legally convicted of a violent crime or there is a suspicion that the consumer is or was a member of an organization that suppresses basic human rights and freedoms, or presents extremist views,
c) if the consumer has been excluded from the course in the past or was otherwise prevented from completing the course in full due to non-compliance with the safety and operating principles and rules, which are the content of the guidelines of the TCA company and which can be viewed on the provider's website www.tca.sk and on place of service (courses) – at the shooting range, while persons participating in the course are obliged to familiarize themselves with these guidelines individually, or for non-compliance with other rules of safety, health protection, prudence and responsibility when handling firearms.
VI.7 Send withdrawal from the service contract to info@tca.sk or to the address:
TCA - Tactical Combat Academy, s.r.o.
Čsl. tankistov 1/A,
841 06 Bratislava,
VI.8 In cases where, for any reason, the consumer cannot participate in a specific date of the service (course) that he ordered and the legal deadline for the consumer to withdraw from the contract has already passed, but the service (course) has not yet been performed and there is more to its date than 5 calendar days, the provider will allow the consumer to move the date of the service (course) to a later date, while the replacement date must be agreed directly with the provider, due to staff availability (for more details, see point V.4 and V.5 of these GTC).
VI.9 The consumer is obliged to notify the provider without undue delay of the fact that he cannot participate in the ordered service (course). Failure to notify this fact in time may result in the impossibility of complying with the consumer's requests to move the service (course) to another date.
VI.10 In the event that the consumer does not use the above-mentioned option, does not notify the provider that he cannot participate in the service (course) and does not show up, he loses the possibility to move the date of the service (course) and also to transfer the paid price in the form of a voucher or in the form of credit.
VI.11 The provisions on the consumer's other options in the event that he cannot participate in the course do not apply to cases where force majeure is responsible for not taking the course. For the purposes of the contract and GTC, any event independent of the will of the contracting parties, which makes the fulfillment of contractual obligations impossible and which could not be foreseen at the time of the creation of this contract, is considered force majeure. From the point of view of this contract, natural disaster, extreme weather and meteorological phenomena, strong storms, fire, war, explosion, strike, or other unforeseeable events are considered to be force majeure. Due to the fact that the WHO has declared a pandemic of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, and therefore due to the predictability of anti-epidemiological measures, anti-epidemiological measures effective at the time of the course or government measures on the territory of the state or its borders, serving to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, cannot be considered as force majeure SARS-CoV-2, in which case the course is automatically moved to another date determined by the provider.
