If the journey abroad is not travelled by car, the following elements are billed:

Overnight

If an overnight stay is necessary, the customer will be billed the actual hotel costs (including breakfast) in addition to the travel expenses, as well as an additional fee of € 125.00 per night. Xylos will confer with the customer on these matters and aspires to implement a healthy cost control management based on the “bonus pater familias” principle.

Changes are performed on a time and material basis and are billed at the rates agreed with the customer.

Validity duration of quotes

Our quotes remain valid until 14 days after the quote date.

Special circumstances

In the event of illness or absence of the trainer, everything possible will be done to find a replacement. However, such situations being instances of force majeure, Xylos declines all liability if such circumstances were to prevent the training session from taking place.

In the event of circumstances that prevent the trainer from reaching the external location (such as strikes at the customer’s site) Xylos will bill the daily price.
