3. Services and Packages

3.1 The Company offers access to the Course in different packages, as described on the official website at the time of purchase. The exact scope of each package is defined at the point of sale and forms part of the contractual agreement.

  • 5 Private Coaching Calls with FF&A

3.3 The Light Consulting Package is subject to a limited quarterly capacity of a maximum of five (5) Users per calendar quarter. Admission is subject to approval by the Company. Where the number of qualified applicants exceeds available capacity, Users may be accepted on a rolling basis depending on availability.

3.4 Access to the Light Consulting Package is subject to approval by the Company. Submission of an application, registration, or payment does not guarantee acceptance.

3.5 The Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to accept or reject any application without providing reasons.

3.6 In the event that a User is not accepted into the Light Consulting Package, any payment made shall be refunded in full within ten (10) business days of the Company issuing written notice of non-acceptance.

3.7 Access to the Course is granted as follows: (a) where payment is made in full via Stripe, access is granted upon receipt and confirmation of payment; (b) where payment is made via Purchase Order (PO), access is granted upon receipt of a valid PO from the purchasing organisation, provided the full purchase price remains due and payable in accordance with the invoice issued by the Company; and (c) where payment is made in installments via Stripe, access to the Course shall only be granted once all scheduled installment payments have been completed in full.

3.8 In the event of missed or failed payments under an installment plan, the Company reserves the right to suspend or revoke access to the Course until payment is completed.

3.9 The Coaching Package grants access on a per-Seat basis. Each Coaching Package includes five (5) Seats. Each Seat entitles one designated individual (a “Seat Holder”) to their own individual account on the Platform and access to the Course content. The Company collects personal data from each individual Seat Holder.

3.10 Each Seat Holder’s individual account and login credentials are personal to that Seat Holder. Seat Holders may not share their login credentials, grant access to third parties, or otherwise allow any individual other than the designated Seat Holder to access or use the Course under their account.

3.11 Each Coaching Package or Light Consulting Package grants access for up to five (5) designated Seat Holders within the purchasing organisation. The identity of each Seat Holder must be provided to the Company at the time of purchase or during the onboarding process. Seat Holder designations may be updated by written request to the Company at zbg@fredericfernandezandassociates.com, subject to the Company’s prior approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company will respond to Seat Holder substitution requests within five (5) business days of receipt.

3.12 For organisations requiring more than five (5) Seats, the Company may offer additional Seats or enterprise arrangements as set out in clause 3.12a below, or under a separate written agreement.

3.12a Additional Seats — Coaching Package: For purchasers of the Coaching Package who require more than five (5) Seats, additional Seats are available at a price of CHF 1,000 per additional Seat per twelve (12) month access period. Each additional Seat entitles one further designated individual Seat Holder to an individual account and full access to the Course content on the same terms as the included Seats. Additional Seat purchases are subject to the same payment and access conditions as the base package.

3.12b The Company shall collect personal data from each designated Seat Holder, including name, email address, and course engagement data, for the purposes of account creation, course delivery, and platform management, in accordance with the Company’s Privacy Policy. The purchasing organisation is responsible for ensuring that each Seat Holder is informed of and has been informed of the collection and use of their personal data as described in the Privacy Policy prior to being designated as a Seat Holder.

3.13 The Company reserves the right to monitor usage behavior. In cases of unauthorized sharing or misuse, access may be suspended or terminated without prior notice and without refund.

3.14 In cases of unauthorized use by additional individuals, the Company reserves the right to charge additional license fees equivalent to the standard price per unauthorized user.

3.15 For the Light Consulting Package, participation in private coaching calls must take place within twelve (12) months from the date of first access. Unused coaching call access expires without compensation at the end of the twelve (12) month access period, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

3.16 Participation in the private Light Consulting is limited to the coaching schedule and sessions agreed upon at onboarding. No ongoing advisory, consulting, or retainer relationship is created by participation in the Light Consulting Package.

3.17 Event Invitations and Terms. All Seat Holders who have purchased the Coaching Package or Light Consulting Package receive a lifetime right to purchase attendance places at FF&A Academy annual summit events. This lifetime right entitles each package to purchase up to five (5) attendance places per year at a fixed price of CHF 2,500 per Seat Holder per year. Invitations are issued between two (2) and four (4) months prior to each event date. Attendance at each event is subject to the following conditions: (a) Capacity: Each event is subject to venue capacity limitations. The right to purchase attendance places is subject to availability on a strict first-come, first-served basis upon receipt of the Seat Holder’s confirmation of attendance in response to the invitation. A lifetime right to purchase does not guarantee a place at any specific event; the Company does not guarantee availability at any event. (b) Event Fee: Attendance at each annual summit event requires payment of a fixed event attendance fee of CHF 2,500 per Seat Holder per year. The fee is confirmed in the invitation and must be paid by the Seat Holder to secure their place. (c) Seat Holder Responsibility: Each attending Seat Holder is responsible for the payment of the applicable event fee of CHF 2,500 per year, as well as all costs related to their own travel, accommodation, and personal expenses in connection with event attendance. The Company’s obligation to hold annual summit events is subject to commercial viability and at the Company’s discretion. If no annual summit event is held in a given calendar year, Seat Holders’ right to purchase attendance places for that year lapses without compensation or liability to the Company.

3.18 For the avoidance of doubt, the event attendance fee of CHF 2,500 per Seat Holder per year, together with travel, accommodation, and all other costs related to attendance at any FF&A Academy event, are the sole responsibility of the attending Seat Holder and are not included in the price of any Course package.

3.19 The Company may update or modify Course content, structure, or delivery format at any time, provided the core value is not materially reduced.

3.20 The Course is provided exclusively in digital form.

3.21 Access to community features may be modified, restricted, or discontinued at the Company’s discretion.

4. Contract Formation

4.1 The presentation of the Course and its packages on the website does not constitute a legally binding offer, but rather an invitation for the User to submit an order or, where applicable, an application.

4.2 By submitting an order, completing a purchase, or applying for a package, the User makes a binding offer to enter into a contract with the Company.

4.3 Coaching Package (CHF 25,000)

4.3.2 The Company reserves the right to refuse or cancel an order in exceptional cases, including but not limited to pricing errors, suspected fraud, or technical issues.

4.4 Light Consulting Package (CHF 50,000)

4.4.1 The Light Consulting Package is subject to a selection and approval process. Submission of an application, registration, or payment does not constitute acceptance into the program.

4.4.2 A contract for the Light Consulting Package is only concluded once the Company has expressly confirmed acceptance of the User.

4.4.3 The Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to accept or reject any application without providing reasons.

4.4.6 If a User is not accepted into the program, any payment made shall be refunded in full within ten (10) business days of the Company issuing written notice of non-acceptance.

4.5 Payment Processing

4.5.1 Payments may be processed via third-party providers (including, but not limited to, Stripe) or via bank transfer.

4.5.2 The use of a payment provider does not in itself constitute acceptance of the User into the Course, particularly for the Light Consulting Package.

4.6 Access Conditions

4.6.1 The Company reserves the right to delay or withhold access to the Course until:

  1. payment obligations have been satisfied in accordance with these Terms; and

  2. any applicable onboarding or acceptance requirements have been fulfilled.

4.7 User Responsibility

4.7.1 The User is responsible for ensuring that all information provided during the purchase or application process is accurate, complete, and up to date.

4.7.2 The Company shall not be liable for any issues arising from incorrect or incomplete information provided by the User.

5. Pricing and Payment

5.1 All prices are indicated in Swiss Francs (CHF), unless otherwise stated on the website.

5.2 The Company offers the following pricing structure at the time of drafting:

  1. Coaching Package: CHF 25,000

  2. Light Consulting Package: CHF 50,000

  3. Additional Seat (Coaching Package): CHF 1,000 per Seat per twelve (12) month access period (see clause 3.12a).

The Company reserves the right to modify pricing at any time. The price displayed at the time of purchase shall apply.

5.3 Payment for the Coaching Package may be made via one of the following methods:

  1. in full at the time of purchase via Stripe; or

  2. in up to five (5) installments via Stripe, as made available at checkout; or

  3. by Purchase Order (PO), subject to the conditions set out in clause 5.3a below.

5.3a Purchase Order (PO) Payments. Where a purchasing organisation elects to pay by Purchase Order, the Company will provide the following company information for invoicing purposes: Frederic Fernandez & Associates AG, 22 Grubenstrasse, 6315 Oberageri, Switzerland; UID: CHE-294.553.112; Email: zbg@fredericfernandezandassociates.com. The Company will issue an invoice upon receipt of the PO. Access to the Course will be granted upon receipt of a valid PO, notwithstanding that the full invoiced amount remains due and payable by the purchasing organisation. The purchasing organisation remains liable for the full invoice amount regardless of whether access has been granted. The twelve (12) month access period commences from the date on which access is first granted.

5.4 Where installment payments are selected at checkout, the User agrees to complete all scheduled payments in accordance with the installment schedule provided at checkout. The total purchase price for the applicable package remains due in full regardless of the User’s access to or use of the Course. The specific installment schedule, payment amounts, and due dates shall be confirmed in writing at the time of checkout and form part of the contractual agreement.

5.5 Where the Coaching Package is purchased via installment payments through Stripe, access to the Course shall only be granted once all scheduled installment payments have been completed in full. Access will be withheld until full payment has been received, notwithstanding that a contract has been concluded. Failure to complete all installment payments shall result in continued denial of access without prejudice to the Company’s right to recover the full outstanding amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the twelve (12) month access period commences from the date on which access is first granted, not from the date of contract conclusion. Where payment is made by Purchase Order, access is granted in accordance with clause 5.3a above.

5.6 The Light Consulting Package is subject to individually agreed payment terms. The Company reserves the right to determine the applicable payment structure, including requiring full or partial payment prior to granting access.

5.7 Payments may be processed via third-party providers (including, but not limited to, Stripe) or via bank wire transfer, as made available by the Company. International wire transfers may be subject to bank processing fees, which are the responsibility of the User.

5.8 The Company reserves the right to issue invoices and require payment via bank transfer, particularly for business customers or high-value transactions.

5.9 In the event of missed, failed, or delayed payments, the Company reserves the right to:



  1. suspend or restrict access to the Course;

  2. terminate access without refund; and

  3. pursue recovery of any outstanding amounts.

5.9a Without prejudice to any other right or remedy, any amounts not paid by the applicable due date shall bear interest at five percent (5%) per annum from the date of default, calculated on a daily basis, without requirement for prior demand or formal notice. Where mandatory applicable law prescribes a higher statutory rate of default interest, that rate shall apply. Interest accrues on the outstanding principal until the date of actual payment in full.

5.10 The User remains responsible for all agreed payments regardless of actual use, participation, or completion of the Course.

5.11 In the event of reversed payments, chargebacks, or payment disputes, the Company reserves the right to:

  1. immediately suspend access to the Course;

  2. recover any outstanding amounts;

  3. charge reasonable administrative and legal costs associated with the recovery; and

  4. restrict or permanently deny future access to the Company’s services.

5.12 All fees are stated exclusive of value added tax (VAT). VAT is applied as follows: (a) where the purchasing organisation is a legal entity established in Switzerland, Swiss VAT at the applicable statutory rate (currently 8.1%) is added and charged at checkout for Stripe payments and shown on the invoice for Purchase Order payments; (b) where the purchasing organisation is a legal entity established outside Switzerland, no Swiss VAT is invoiced by the Company; the purchasing organisation is solely responsible for any reverse-charge VAT, import duties, or equivalent obligations arising in its own jurisdiction in connection with the receipt of cross-border digital services. By purchasing the Course, the purchasing organisation warrants that it is acquiring the Course in the course of its business and that the applicable reverse-charge or self-assessment mechanism applies to the transaction in its jurisdiction.

5.13 The Company shall provide invoices or receipts in electronic form upon successful payment.

5.14 The User agrees not to initiate chargebacks or payment disputes without first contacting the Company to seek a resolution. Where a chargeback is initiated without valid legal basis, the Company reserves the right to recover all outstanding amounts, including any associated fees, administrative costs, and damages. Nothing in this clause shall limit any right the purchasing organisation may have under applicable law or pursuant to any payment card scheme rules.

6. Access to the Course

6.1 Upon successful contract formation and subject to the applicable payment conditions, the User shall be granted access to the Course via the platform designated by the Company.

6.2 Access to the Course is provided in digital form only and requires an internet connection and compatible devices. The User is responsible for ensuring that they meet the necessary technical requirements.

6.3 Access to the Course is granted for a period of twelve (12) months from the date on which access is first activated for the relevant Seat Holder (“Access Period”). Upon expiry of the Access Period, access to the Platform and all Course content will lapse unless the User renews their access by purchasing a further access period in accordance with the then-current pricing. The Company will use reasonable endeavours to notify Seat Holders of the approaching expiry of their Access Period no less than thirty (30) days in advance.

6.5 The Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify, update, replace, restructure, or discontinue the Course, the platform, or any part thereof at any time.

6.6 The Company does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access to the Course. Access may be temporarily restricted due to maintenance, updates, technical issues, or factors beyond the Company’s control.

6.7 The Company shall not be liable for temporary interruptions, delays, or technical issues affecting access to the Course, provided that such issues are not caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct.

6.8 Access to the Course is personal to the User and subject to the usage restrictions set out in these Terms.

6.9 The Company reserves the right to suspend or restrict access to the Course where necessary for security reasons, maintenance, or enforcement of these Terms.

6.10 Access to community features, group sessions, or other interactive elements may be modified, restricted, or discontinued at the Company’s discretion.

6.11 The Company may update or enhance the Course content over time. The User acknowledges that content may evolve and that no obligation exists to maintain any specific version or format of the Course.

6.12 The User acknowledges that access to the Course constitutes full or partial performance of the Company’s contractual obligations. Upon access being granted, the digital content shall be deemed delivered, regardless of the extent of actual use or completion by the User.

6.13 The Company does not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted, or permanent availability of the Course or platform. Access may be suspended, restricted, or limited at any time due to maintenance, updates, security measures, or third-party service failures.

6.14 The Company does not guarantee permanent storage of any Course content, user data, or materials beyond the applicable Access Period or any legally required retention period. The User is responsible for downloading and retaining any content they wish to keep. The Company will retain and delete personal data in accordance with its Privacy Policy and applicable legal obligations.

7. Refund Policy

7.6 Independently of any statutory rights, the Company offers a voluntary refund policy under the following conditions:

  1. The User may request a refund within fourteen (14) days from the date of purchase;

  2. The refund is only available if the User has not consumed more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Course content;

  3. Course consumption is measured based on total video watch progress across all modules as tracked by the platform.

7.6a For packages that include multiple Seats (Coaching Package or Light Consulting Package), the refund right under clause 7.6 applies to the package as a whole and is assessed against the consumption of the initial account holder (the Seat Holder designated as the primary account representative of the purchasing organisation at the time of purchase). If the initial account holder has consumed more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Course content, the refund right for the entire package is forfeited.

7.7 If the User has accessed or consumed more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Course content, no refund shall be granted.

7.8 Refund requests must be submitted in writing to zbg@fredericfernandezandassociates.com.

7.9 The Company reserves the right to verify Course usage data before processing any refund request.

7.10 No refunds shall be granted in the following cases:

  3. dissatisfaction based on subjective expectations;

  4. business or financial outcomes not being achieved.

7.12 Refunds, where applicable, shall be processed using the original payment method, unless otherwise agreed.

12.7 The User is responsible for ensuring that any personal data they provide is accurate and up to date.

12.8 Where the User provides personal data of third parties (for example, within assignments or submissions), the User represents and warrants that they have the necessary rights and permissions to do so.

12.9 In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Privacy Policy regarding data protection, the Privacy Policy shall prevail.

12.10 Data Processing Addendum. Where the purchasing organisation is a legal entity established in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom (a “Controller Organisation”), the following terms supplement and form part of these Terms from the date of purchase, constituting a Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”) in accordance with Article 28 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection as revised and in force from 1 September 2023 (nFADP/DSG 2023), and, where applicable, the UK GDPR. For the purposes of this clause 12.10 onwards: “Controller” means the Controller Organisation; “Processor” means Frederic Fernandez & Associates AG (the Company); “Data Subjects” means the individual Seat Holders whose personal data is processed for the delivery of the Course; “Personal Data” has the meaning given in the GDPR.

12.11 Subject Matter, Duration, and Nature of Processing. The subject matter of the processing is the delivery of the ZBG Sprint Course to the designated Seat Holders of the Controller Organisation. Processing commences upon account creation for the first Seat Holder and continues for the duration of the Access Period plus any legally required retention periods. The nature of the processing includes: (a) storage and retrieval of account data; (b) delivery and tracking of digital course content; (c) management of group Q&A call participation; and (d) provision of platform analytics to the Controller Organisation on request.

12.12 Categories of Personal Data and Data Subjects. The Processor processes the following categories of Personal Data concerning Seat Holders: (a) identification data (name, job title); (b) contact data (business email address); (c) account credentials (encrypted); (d) course engagement data (video watch progress, login history, call attendance); and (e) any data voluntarily submitted by Seat Holders in community or interactive features. Data Subjects are limited to the individual Seat Holders designated by the Controller Organisation.

12.13 Processor Obligations. The Processor shall: (a) process Personal Data only on documented instructions from the Controller, as set out in these Terms, unless required to do so by applicable law; (b) ensure that persons authorised to process Personal Data are subject to confidentiality obligations; (c) implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures in accordance with Article 32 GDPR; (d) not engage another processor (Sub-Processor) without the Controller’s prior specific or general written authorisation; (e) taking into account the nature of the processing, assist the Controller in fulfilling its obligations to respond to Data Subject rights requests; (f) notify the Controller without undue delay (and in any event within 72 hours) upon becoming aware of a Personal Data breach affecting the Controller’s data; (g) upon termination of the DPA, at the choice of the Controller, delete or return all Personal Data and delete existing copies, unless applicable law requires storage; and (h) make available all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with this clause 12.13 and allow for audits by the Controller, subject to reasonable prior notice and the protection of the Processor’s confidential information.

12.14 Authorised Sub-Processors. The Controller grants general written authorisation to the Processor to engage the Sub-Processors listed in clause 12.3 of these Terms. The Processor shall: (a) inform the Controller of any intended changes to Sub-Processors (additions or replacements) with at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice; and (b) impose data protection obligations on each Sub-Processor by contract that are equivalent to those set out in this DPA. The Controller may object to a new Sub-Processor on reasonable grounds within the notice period; if the objection cannot be resolved, the Controller may terminate the affected package within thirty (30) days and receive a pro-rated refund of the remaining Access Period.

12.15 International Data Transfers. Where Personal Data is transferred to a country outside the EEA or UK that does not benefit from an adequacy decision, the transfer shall be subject to appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 GDPR, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as adopted by the European Commission (Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914) or the UK IDTA, as applicable. Switzerland is recognised as providing an adequate level of protection for transfers from the EEA pursuant to Commission Decision 2000/518/EC; transfers from Switzerland to the Company’s registered address in Switzerland accordingly do not require additional transfer mechanisms. The Processor shall, upon written request from the Controller, provide copies of applicable SCCs or other transfer safeguards.

13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

13.1 These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Switzerland, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

13.2 In the event of any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Course, the Parties shall first attempt to resolve the matter in good faith through informal negotiations.

13.3 If the dispute cannot be resolved within a reasonable period of time, it shall be finally settled by arbitration.

Where the number of qualified applicants exceeds available capacity, Users may be accepted on a rolling basis depending on availability.

3.6 In the event that a User is not accepted into the Light Consulting Package, any payment made shall be refunded in full within ten (10) business days of the Company issuing written notice of non-acceptance.

3.7 Access to the Course is granted as follows: (a) where payment is made in full via Stripe, access is granted upon receipt and confirmation of payment; (b) where payment is made via Purchase Order (PO), access is granted upon receipt of a valid PO from the purchasing organisation, provided the full purchase price remains due and payable in accordance with the invoice issued by the Company; and (c) where payment is made in installments via Stripe, access to the Course shall only be granted once all scheduled installment payments have been completed in full.

3.8 In the event of missed or failed payments under an installment plan, the Company reserves the right to suspend or revoke access to the Course until payment is completed.

3.9 The Coaching Package grants access on a per-Seat basis. Each Coaching Package includes five (5) Seats.

The Company collects personal data from each individual Seat Holder.

3.10 Each Seat Holder’s individual account and login credentials are personal to that Seat Holder. Seat Holders may not share their login credentials, grant access to third parties, or otherwise allow any individual other than the designated Seat Holder to access or use the Course under their account.

3.11 Each Coaching Package or Light Consulting Package grants access for up to five (5) designated Seat Holders within the purchasing organisation. The identity of each Seat Holder must be provided to the Company at the time of purchase or during the onboarding process. Seat Holder designations may be updated by written request to the Company at zbg@fredericfernandezandassociates.com, subject to the Company’s prior approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company will respond to Seat Holder substitution requests within five (5) business days of receipt.

Additional Seat purchases are subject to the same payment and access conditions as the base package.

3.12b The Company shall collect personal data from each designated Seat Holder, including name, email address, and course engagement data, for the purposes of account creation, course delivery, and platform management, in accordance with the Company’s Privacy Policy. The purchasing organisation is responsible for ensuring that each Seat Holder is informed of and has been informed of the collection and use of their personal data as described in the Privacy Policy prior to being designated as a Seat Holder.

3.13 The Company reserves the right to monitor usage behavior. In cases of unauthorized sharing or misuse, access may be suspended or terminated without prior notice and without refund.

3.16 Participation in the private Light Consulting is limited to the coaching schedule and sessions agreed upon at onboarding. No ongoing advisory, consulting, or retainer relationship is created by participation in the Light Consulting Package.

3.17 Event Invitations and Terms. All Seat Holders who have purchased the Coaching Package or Light Consulting Package receive a lifetime right to purchase attendance places at FF&A Academy annual summit events. This lifetime right entitles each package to purchase up to five (5) attendance places per year at a fixed price of CHF 2,500 per Seat Holder per year. Invitations are issued between two (2) and four (4) months prior to each event date. Attendance at each event is subject to the following conditions: (a) Capacity: Each event is subject to venue capacity limitations. The right to purchase attendance places is subject to availability on a strict first-come, first-served basis upon receipt of the Seat Holder’s confirmation of attendance in response to the invitation. A lifetime right to purchase does not guarantee a place at any specific event; the Company does not guarantee availability at any event. (b) Event Fee: Attendance at each annual summit event requires payment of a fixed event attendance fee of CHF 2,500 per Seat Holder per year. The fee is confirmed in the invitation and must be paid by the Seat Holder to secure their place. (c) Seat Holder Responsibility: Each attending Seat Holder is responsible for the payment of the applicable event fee of CHF 2,500 per year, as well as all costs related to their own travel, accommodation, and personal expenses in connection with event attendance. The Company’s obligation to hold annual summit events is subject to commercial viability and at the Company’s discretion. If no annual summit event is held in a given calendar year, Seat Holders’ right to purchase attendance places for that year lapses without compensation or liability to the Company.

3.18 For the avoidance of doubt, the event attendance fee of CHF 2,500 per Seat Holder per year, together with travel, accommodation, and all other costs related to attendance at any FF&A Academy event, are the sole responsibility of the attending Seat Holder and are not included in the price of any Course package.

3.19 The Company may update or modify Course content, structure, or delivery format at any time, provided the core value is not materially reduced.

3.20 The Course is provided exclusively in digital form.

3.21 Access to community features may be modified, restricted, or discontinued at the Company’s discretion.

4. Contract Formation

4.1 The presentation of the Course and its packages on the website does not constitute a legally binding offer, but rather an invitation for the User to submit an order or, where applicable, an application.

4.2 By submitting an order, completing a purchase, or applying for a package, the User makes a binding offer to enter into a contract with the Company.

4.3 Coaching Package (CHF 25,000)

4.4.1 The Light Consulting Package is subject to a selection and approval process. Submission of an application, registration, or payment does not constitute acceptance into the program.

4.4.3 The Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to accept or reject any application without providing reasons.

4.5 Payment Processing

4.5.1 Payments may be processed via third-party providers (including, but not limited to, Stripe) or via bank transfer.

4.5.2 The use of a payment provider does not in itself constitute acceptance of the User into the Course, particularly for the Light Consulting Package.

  1. payment obligations have been satisfied in accordance with these Terms; and

  1. Coaching Package: CHF 25,000

  2. Light Consulting Package: CHF 50,000

The Company reserves the right to modify pricing at any time. The price displayed at the time of purchase shall apply.

5.3 Payment for the Coaching Package may be made via one of the following methods:

  1. in full at the time of purchase via Stripe; or

  2. in up to five (5) installments via Stripe, as made available at checkout; or

  3. by Purchase Order (PO), subject to the conditions set out in clause 5.3a below.

5.3a Purchase Order (PO) Payments. Where a purchasing organisation elects to pay by Purchase Order, the Company will provide the following company information for invoicing purposes: Frederic Fernandez & Associates AG, 22 Grubenstrasse, 6315 Oberageri, Switzerland; UID: CHE-294.553.112; Email: zbg@fredericfernandezandassociates.com. The Company will issue an invoice upon receipt of the PO. Access to the Course will be granted upon receipt of a valid PO, notwithstanding that the full invoiced amount remains due and payable by the purchasing organisation. The purchasing organisation remains liable for the full invoice amount regardless of whether access has been granted. The twelve (12) month access period commences from the date on which access is first granted.

5.4 Where installment payments are selected at checkout, the User agrees to complete all scheduled payments in accordance with the installment schedule provided at checkout. The total purchase price for the applicable package remains due in full regardless of the User’s access to or use of the Course. The specific installment schedule, payment amounts, and due dates shall be confirmed in writing at the time of checkout and form part of the contractual agreement.

5.5 Where the Coaching Package is purchased via installment payments through Stripe, access to the Course shall only be granted once all scheduled installment payments have been completed in full. Access will be withheld until full payment has been received, notwithstanding that a contract has been concluded. Failure to complete all installment payments shall result in continued denial of access without prejudice to the Company’s right to recover the full outstanding amount. For the avoidance of doubt, the twelve (12) month access period commences from the date on which access is first granted, not from the date of contract conclusion. Where payment is made by Purchase Order, access is granted in accordance with clause 5.3a above.

5.6 The Light Consulting Package is subject to individually agreed payment terms. The Company reserves the right to determine the applicable payment structure, including requiring full or partial payment prior to granting access.

5.7 Payments may be processed via third-party providers (including, but not limited to, Stripe) or via bank wire transfer, as made available by the Company. International wire transfers may be subject to bank processing fees, which are the responsibility of the User.

5.8 The Company reserves the right to issue invoices and require payment via bank transfer, particularly for business customers or high-value transactions.

5.9 In the event of missed, failed, or delayed payments, the Company reserves the right to:


  1. suspend or restrict access to the Course;

  2. terminate access without refund; and

  3. pursue recovery of any outstanding amounts.

5.9a Without prejudice to any other right or remedy, any amounts not paid by the applicable due date shall bear interest at five percent (5%) per annum from the date of default, calculated on a daily basis, without requirement for prior demand or formal notice. Where mandatory applicable law prescribes a higher statutory rate of default interest, that rate shall apply. Interest accrues on the outstanding principal until the date of actual payment in full.

5.10 The User remains responsible for all agreed payments regardless of actual use, participation, or completion of the Course.

5.11 In the event of reversed payments, chargebacks, or payment disputes, the Company reserves the right to:

  1. immediately suspend access to the Course;

  2. recover any outstanding amounts;

  3. charge reasonable administrative and legal costs associated with the recovery; and

  4. restrict or permanently deny future access to the Company’s services.

5.12 All fees are stated exclusive of value added tax (VAT). VAT is applied as follows: (a) where the purchasing organisation is a legal entity established in Switzerland, Swiss VAT at the applicable statutory rate (currently 8.1%) is added and charged at checkout for Stripe payments and shown on the invoice for Purchase Order payments; (b) where the purchasing organisation is a legal entity established outside Switzerland, no Swiss VAT is invoiced by the Company; the purchasing organisation is solely responsible for any reverse-charge VAT, import duties, or equivalent obligations arising in its own jurisdiction in connection with the receipt of cross-border digital services. By purchasing the Course, the purchasing organisation warrants that it is acquiring the Course in the course of its business and that the applicable reverse-charge or self-assessment mechanism applies to the transaction in its jurisdiction.

5.13 The Company shall provide invoices or receipts in electronic form upon successful payment.

5.14 The User agrees not to initiate chargebacks or payment disputes without first contacting the Company to seek a resolution. Where a chargeback is initiated without valid legal basis, the Company reserves the right to recover all outstanding amounts, including any associated fees, administrative costs, and damages. Nothing in this clause shall limit any right the purchasing organisation may have under applicable law or pursuant to any payment card scheme rules.

6. Access to the Course

6.1 Upon successful contract formation and subject to the applicable payment conditions, the User shall be granted access to the Course via the platform designated by the Company.

6.2 Access to the Course is provided in digital form only and requires an internet connection and compatible devices. The User is responsible for ensuring that they meet the necessary technical requirements.

6.3 Access to the Course is granted for a period of twelve (12) months from the date on which access is first activated for the relevant Seat Holder (“Access Period”). Upon expiry of the Access Period, access to the Platform and all Course content will lapse unless the User renews their access by purchasing a further access period in accordance with the then-current pricing. The Company will use reasonable endeavours to notify Seat Holders of the approaching expiry of their Access Period no less than thirty (30) days in advance.

6.5 The Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify, update, replace, restructure, or discontinue the Course, the platform, or any part thereof at any time.

6.6 The Company does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access to the Course. Access may be temporarily restricted due to maintenance, updates, technical issues, or factors beyond the Company’s control.

6.7 The Company shall not be liable for temporary interruptions, delays, or technical issues affecting access to the Course, provided that such issues are not caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct.

6.8 Access to the Course is personal to the User and subject to the usage restrictions set out in these Terms.

6.9 The Company reserves the right to suspend or restrict access to the Course where necessary for security reasons, maintenance, or enforcement of these Terms.

6.10 Access to community features, group sessions, or other interactive elements may be modified, restricted, or discontinued at the Company’s discretion.

12.10 Data Processing Addendum. Where the purchasing organisation is a legal entity established in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom (a “Controller Organisation”), the following terms supplement and form part of these Terms from the date of purchase, constituting a Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”) in accordance with Article 28 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection as revised and in force from 1 September 2023 (nFADP/DSG 2023), and, where applicable, the UK GDPR. For the purposes of this clause 12.10 onwards: “Controller” means the Controller Organisation; “Processor” means Frederic Fernandez & Associates AG (the Company); “Data Subjects” means the individual Seat Holders whose personal data is processed for the delivery of the Course; “Personal Data” has the meaning given in the GDPR.

12.11 Subject Matter, Duration, and Nature of Processing. The subject matter of the processing is the delivery of the ZBG Sprint Course to the designated Seat Holders of the Controller Organisation. Processing commences upon account creation for the first Seat Holder and continues for the duration of the Access Period plus any legally required retention periods. The nature of the processing includes: (a) storage and retrieval of account data; (b) delivery and tracking of digital course content; (c) management of group Q&A call participation; and (d) provision of platform analytics to the Controller Organisation on request.

12.12 Categories of Personal Data and Data Subjects. The Processor processes the following categories of Personal Data concerning Seat Holders: (a) identification data (name, job title); (b) contact data (business email address); (c) account credentials (encrypted); (d) course engagement data (video watch progress, login history, call attendance); and (e) any data voluntarily submitted by Seat Holders in community or interactive features. Data Subjects are limited to the individual Seat Holders designated by the Controller Organisation.

12.13 Processor Obligations. The Processor shall: (a) process Personal Data only on documented instructions from the Controller, as set out in these Terms, unless required to do so by applicable law; (b) ensure that persons authorised to process Personal Data are subject to confidentiality obligations; (c) implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures in accordance with Article 32 GDPR; (d) not engage another processor (Sub-Processor) without the Controller’s prior specific or general written authorisation; (e) taking into account the nature of the processing, assist the Controller in fulfilling its obligations to respond to Data Subject rights requests; (f) notify the Controller without undue delay (and in any event within 72 hours) upon becoming aware of a Personal Data breach affecting the Controller’s data; (g) upon termination of the DPA, at the choice of the Controller, delete or return all Personal Data and delete existing copies, unless applicable law requires storage; and (h) make available all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with this clause 12.13 and allow for audits by the Controller, subject to reasonable prior notice and the protection of the Processor’s confidential information.

Switzerland is recognised as providing an adequate level of protection for transfers from the EEA pursuant to Commission Decision 2000/518/EC; transfers from Switzerland to the Company’s registered address in Switzerland accordingly do not require additional transfer mechanisms. The Processor shall, upon written request from the Controller, provide copies of applicable SCCs or other transfer safeguards.
