It contains a penalty clause of 5000eu if I leave early. Now in my opinion the trainer is seriously failing in terms of the quality of the training offered. Moreover, I have a chance that I can do a serious traineeship. How big is the chance that such a contract (with e.g. an inconsistency in it) will hold up in court in this context? \nIn other words, how likely is it that I will actually have to pay them that 5000 euros?\n\n If you need any further information, please let me know!\n\n Thank you very much\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n Day'\n that chance is considerably less if you terminate the agreement on the grounds of non-performance or at least send a notice of default. You must then give the trainer the opportunity to provide the offered quality.\n\n In any case, the trainer is not entitled to more than the income he has lost due to the loss of you as a customer in the normal case without default.\n\n Are there any special obligations in the contract, for example, have you committed to work for a certain period? Because in that case my answer changes.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Questioner\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n Well, it does say that I have to look for work through them during the training period, so that they don't suddenly 'lose' me. After this period of 6 months there are three months 'effort period' during which you are not yet free of contract, you have to reasonably accept a job through them.\n \nBut how fair is it to ask for 5000 euros (because even if I eventually find work through them, I will remain seconded through them for a year and they will get the money) and that after two months they have invested a maximum of 500 euros in addition to some man-hours by themselves? I mean, it turns out that there is no certification at all after they recently (without consulting me, unlike the promise in the contract) changed the 'curriculum', leaving no certification at all besides the one I just received from the Open University. It seems very likely that they are cutting costs and are now trying to 'prepare' us for the labor market as cheaply as possible with somersaults, saying that employers nowadays have so little choice in this field that they are starting (!) to focus on non-certified people. If they now only send us free PDF books and let us watch free educational videos on the internet, then that seems to me to be a clear case of unfairness?\n \nI would like to reimburse some expenses, including man hours when I leave the ship early. I am thinking of 1000eu for example. But 5000eu is really too much for me in this case.\n\n Am I then in the right? Isn’t a contract with inconsistency invalid anyway?\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n You provide very little information about the content of the agreement. You must be able to demonstrate non-performance. In addition, you must first put the other party in default before you can terminate the agreement. This is my specialization and I am happy to help you with this. Please feel free to contact me without obligation.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n Our messages have crossed. What you are now indicating seems to be misleading or mistaken. Then you could annul the agreement. I would be happy to discuss the possibilities with you.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n Day,\n\n It is better to contact me directly so that I can investigate matters for you in detail, such as your contract and the general terms and conditions, the website of the trainer and the way in which it presents its information, and any other relevant facts. \n\n\u003ch4\u003eLawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n For the sake of completeness, I would like to add the following: Do not pay anything until you have consulted a lawyer.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Questioner\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n Thank you very much for your responses, I will definitely take this into account in my considerations!\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n Without consulting you, it is not possible to indicate whether dissolution or destruction is really possible. I therefore advise you once again to contact us without obligation.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55014937788765,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-26632-beste-heer-mevrouw-twee-maanden-geleden-heb-ik-een-enigszins-amateuristische-opleidingsovereenkoms","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
