Scheduled Course Dates are not  cancellable, and Customer will remain responsible for all Education Services Fees for such  Course.

If this occurs, Customer will be notified via email. If a Customer requires  their registration in a Confluent Course to be rescheduled, Customers may request to attend an  alternately scheduled Course via email to education-admin@confluent.io at least fourteen (14) days prior to the start of the Course. Scheduled Course Dates are not cancellable by Customer,  and Customer will remain responsible for all Education Services Fees for such Course. 

 

L. In-Person Course Logistics. The following terms apply to all Courses not designated by Confluent as “Public.”

 

1. Location. All Courses are provided virtually unless an Order expressly states that Courses will  be delivered at Customer’s location. For virtual Courses, Confluent will make remote  conferencing arrangements through a provider of Confluent’s choice, and Customer is  responsible for validating connectivity as provided in advance. In the event Customer’s network  blocks access, Confluent will provide one (1) alternate provider of Confluent’s choice on request. Any issues beyond that must be resolved by Customer, or Attendees must connect from a non restricted environment. 

 

2. Course Attendees. It is highly recommended for attendees to attend and participate all days of  any multiple day Courses. No make-up days will be provided for attendees’ failure to attend any  portion or day of the Courses. Extra attendees, even if designated as observers or other non participating attendees, are not permitted without prior written consent from Confluent  Services management.

 

3. Remote Attendees. For onsite Courses, if Customer requests any attendees participate  remotely, such remote attendees will count towards the applicable maximum Attendee  limitation. If remote attendees participate in Courses, Confluent will make remote conferencing  arrangements for such remote attendees. Customer must provide Confluent with reasonable  advance notice if Customer will have remote attendees participate in a Course. 

 

4. Classroom and Equipment Requirements. Detailed requirements for Attendee laptops and  Customer equipment/facilities (for onsite training) are to be provided at the time of scheduling.  All requirements are in alignment with standard industry practices for onsite training (e.g., a  projector and whiteboard). If Customer does not own facilities and equipment that meet the  above requirements, the Customer must rent the required facilities and equipment. Confluent  recommends Customer utilize Confluent to assist with sourcing a qualified training facility.  Confluent has established relationships with vendors who are familiar with the requirements.  All costs, including any cancellation fees associated with such facility and equipment rentals are  the sole responsibility of Customer.
