Let’s explore the details!

Financial Literacy is the key!

Developing financial literacy skills is crucial for everyone, especially students who are about to graduate and job seekers starting their careers. Without proper financial knowledge, graduates may face financial difficulties and accumulate debt, negatively affecting their future opportunities. Financial literacy enables graduates and job seekers to make informed decisions, create budgets, manage debt, and invest for their future.

Understanding the financial system is also vital for making informed financial decisions, including the significance of credit scores, interest rates, and loans. At Cademix Institute of Technology, we recognize that developing financial literacy skills is a collective responsibility. We provide our clients ( we also refer the students, job seekers, business members and the members of the acceleration program as “clients”) with the necessary resources and knowledge to understand the financial system and make informed financial decisions.

Financial literacy involves not only managing financial resources, but also time, knowledge and other resources. By investing in all of assets and resource, our clients, including graduates and job seekers, can cultivate financial responsibility and independence, positively impacting their personal and professional lives. Our guidance enables our clients to set themselves up for long-term success and financial stability, empowering them to achieve their aspirations.

Overcoming Denial: The First Step to Financial Literacy

Financial literacy is a vital skill for managing debt and achieving financial stability. However, in reality, some individuals intentionally devalue the importance of financial literacy when faced with debt. It is common for individuals to enter a state of denial when facing debt.

Denial of debt is a common psychological state that many people experience when faced with financial difficulties. The reasons for this denial can vary, from a lack of financial education and understanding to feelings of shame and embarrassment. Regardless of the reasons, overcoming denial is the first step towards achieving financial literacy and stability. However, ignoring the debt will only make the situation worse, as interest rates and penalty charges accumulate.

To overcome the “denial of debt” and take control of the situation, it is essential to acknowledge the reality of the financial situation, seek support from your mentor or trusted individuals, and create a budget and a plan for debt repayment. This requires understanding the payment terms, interest rates, and the responsibility to pay the fees, get all possible discounts or repay the debt.

Time Value of the Money

The concept of the time value of money is a critical component of financial literacy, yet it is not something that is often taught in families or traditional cultures. In some cultures, interest is viewed negatively and is associated with greed. However, understanding the time value of money is an essential driver for financial growth. Let’s consider the following scenarios.

Family Loans as an Investment in Family Ties

Family loans can be a valuable investment in family ties. For example, a family member may lend money to support the education or study abroad of a young relative seeking a job. While the family member may not receive any financial gain from the loan, they may be invested in the success of the young relative and see it as a way to support their family.

In addition, the loan whether if it a direct loan, or an indirect loan taken from a local bank, can provide financial stability for the young talent in the family, which can benefit the entire family in the long run. Moreover, the success of the young talent can bring a significant social status to the family, which is highly valued in many cultures.

From an economic perspective, lending money to a family member without receiving any financial gain may seem like a poor investment. However, the time value of money analysis suggests that the lender is investing in enhancing the financial ties within their family, which can bring a positive return in the long term. The loan can provide financial stability for the young talent in the family, allowing them to pursue their dreams and achieve success. Additionally, the social status gained by the family through the success of the young talent can be an extremely valuable asset. Overall, family loans can provide a way to invest in both financial and non-financial assets that can have significant benefits in the long run.

It is also possible for students and job seekers in Europe to take loans from local banks such as Santander Bank, Anadi Bank (Indian/Austrian Family Bank), EasyBank, or Raiffeisen, who offer online credit calculation and low effective interest rates below 8% to support individuals. These banks may provide essential financial support to students and job seekers who require funding for education, training, or professional development. However, it is crucial to note that borrowing money always comes with financial responsibility and should only be considered after careful consideration of the terms and conditions of the loan. It is advisable to consult with financial advisors and research various loan options before taking on any financial obligations.

Organic growth & effective costs of business loans

Growing a business, like Cademix, can be a challenging task for entrepreneurs. One option for business growth is organic growth, which involves utilizing existing client payments to fund business growth and operational costs. This approach is often considered the most valuable for startups. However, if clients fail to pay on time, entrepreneurs may need to seek external financing from investors or bank creditors, which may come at a much higher interest rate.

In Europe, many bank creditors have specific requirements for businesses seeking external financing. This includes obtaining special business insurance and official insertion of loan in the company registry records. These can significantly increase the overall cost of borrowing. For example, a lean organization like Cademix Institute of Technology may require 50,000 Euros for a period of three months to expand their services or hire additional staff to enhance services during a period of high demand. If Cademix can collect the required funds from existing clients, they can grow their business without incurring any interest or penalty charges. However, if clients fail to pay on time, the institute may need to seek external financing from an investor or bank creditor.

Typically, investors or banks require some percentage of equity to control the business, along with a high-interest rate of 10% and processing fees of 1500 Euros. Additionally, businesses seeking external financing must obtain short-term insurance, which can cost between 3000 to 5000 Euros, and pay an additional 2000 Euros for registration in the company registry records. These charges result in an effective interest rate of 20% to 40% yearly, resulting in a substantial financial burden for the business.

The above scenario highlights the importance of understanding financial literacy and the time value of money. Educating clients about the impact of delayed payments and the cost of borrowing money can help them make informed decisions about their finances. Entrepreneurs and businesses like Cademix Institute of Technology value transparency with their clients regarding financial matters. It is crucial to recognize that interest rates differ in various sectors, with private individuals benefiting from lower interest rates on essential investments such as education loans or home mortgage loans, while businesses are considered risky and face higher interest rates.

The financial literacy and understanding the time value of money is crucial for both entrepreneurs and their clients. By recognizing the impact of delayed payments and the cost of borrowing money, businesses and individuals can make informed decisions about their finances, setting themselves up for long-term success and stability. for the Cademix community, it is collective responsibility, which we will discuss further in details.

Program Downgrade and Refund Policy

At Cademix, we deeply value the commitment our clients make when entering into a contract with us. Once you have committed to a program, we arrange specific resources and services to optimize your experience and results. Whether you utilize these resources to their full potential or not, the terms and conditions of the contract and payment still apply. We emphasize that once a contract has been agreed upon, the terms and conditions, as well as the payment plan, remain binding regardless of resource utilization.

While we discourage downgrading, we offer flexibility. Program downgrading is possible within the first 30 days of the contract commencement, wherein clients can transition into the Cademix Career Autopilot Starter program, designed to give a one-month snapshot of our services.

If a client wishes to downgrade after one month, we offer an option to switch into multiple starter programs, equivalent to the number of months they’ve been part of the initial program. However, any request for program downgrade or early termination incurs an additional cost of 1000 EUR to cover processing and handling.

At Cademix, we understand that financial circumstances can change, making it challenging to maintain the agreed-upon payments. If this happens, we encourage our clients to leverage our promotional discounts and referral program before considering downgrading or terminating their contracts. Our promotional discounts can provide much-needed financial relief, and our referral program can accrue significant discounts, potentially offsetting the entire cost of the program for an active member.

We encourage all our clients to thoroughly read and understand the terms, conditions, and payment plan outlined in their contracts. Any alterations to the original contract often lead to higher costs. Thus, we intend to ensure that your decisions are informed, beneficial, and in line with your professional growth objectives. Leveraging our promotional discounts and referral program can prove beneficial, fostering a robust community of professionals and making your participation financially manageable. Remember, our primary goal at Cademix is your success and satisfaction, and we are committed to providing flexible options to ensure this outcome.

Promotional Discounts and Referral Programs

At Cademix, we appreciate our clients and believe in rewarding them for their loyalty. That’s why we offer promotional discounts to clients who refer friends and family to our programs. For every new client you refer, you will receive a 10% discount on your fees, which will be calculated based on the actual cash flow generated (10% of cash flow generated). This discount can be applied multiple times, and there is no limit to the number of referrals you can make.

Additionally, if a close family member joins the same program within four weeks of your admission, and you both have the same goals and similar interests, the second person will receive a 50% discount. We also offer further discounts for clients who promote Cademix or get involved in marketing and training activities. These discounts will be discussed during the program.

To receive these discounts, we encourage our clients to make official payments directly to our official account via bank transfer. The payment should mention your name and the “Cademix Deposit” on the bank transfer, and you should keep the records and send us a scan of the bank receipt.

Discounts and Incentives in the Cademix Program

The Cademix Program offers a variety of discount and incentive programs to help clients reduce their payments and achieve their career goals. One of these programs is the referral program, which allows clients to receive a 10% discount for every friend they refer to the program who also starts. Accurate calculations are done by Cademix based on the 10% of the actual cash flow generated. Clients can use this program multiple times, and if a close family member decides to join the same program within four weeks, the second individuals can receive a 50% discount if they have the same goals and interests.

Additionally, clients can earn further discounts for promoting Cademix and participating in marketing and training activities during the program. Clients who invest their time in helping the community or promoting the company can earn a discount of five Euro per hour, which can be multiplied based on the effectiveness of their actions. These discounts can be used an unlimited number of times and can be applied to reduce the program cost.

Cademix also offers support to clients who are experiencing financial difficulties. Clients who are having trouble making payments can request access to part-time job and freelance job recommendations and certifications, which can help them quickly find short-term financial relief and improve their skills and experiences.

Support for Finding Part-Time Jobs and Freelance Work

In addition to the payment plan, late fee policy, and discounts, Cademix also offers support for clients who need help finding part-time jobs and freelance work during the Career Autopilot Plus Program. We understand that financial difficulties can arise, and we want to provide resources to help clients overcome these challenges.

Clients can request assistance with finding part-time jobs and freelance work by mentioning their financial difficulties. We can provide recommendation letters and additional certifications to help clients quickly secure employment. Not only can this help with short-term financial situations, but it can also improve clients’ skills and experiences, potentially leading to better job opportunities in the future.

Career Advancement and Payment Obligations in the Cademix Program

At Cademix, we are committed to providing our clients with the tools and resources they need to advance their careers. We believe that our affiliation carries a lot of value and we highly encourage our clients to carry the name of Cademix with them in their public profiles and in their CVs. This helps to showcase their affiliation with a highly respected organization, and can increase their chances of being noticed by potential employers.

As part of our commitment to client success, we offer mentoring sessions to help guide clients through their career development. We understand that everyone learns at their own pace, so we leave it up to our clients to decide how often they would like to reserve mentoring sessions. However, we typically recommend that clients schedule mentoring sessions within a 1-week to 4-week interval and encourage them to write reports on a monthly to quarterly basis. This helps to ensure that they are making progress and staying on track towards their career goals.

Financial Management Resources in the Cademix Program

The Cademix Program understands that managing finances can be challenging, especially during a career transition. To help our clients achieve financial stability, we offer various resources and tools specifically designed for the Cademix Program.

One of the best tools available to our clients is a simple Excel worksheet that can clearly determine the status of their financial payments. This worksheet provides an overview of previous discounts and payments, the current status of the positive or negative payment balance, and the monthly payments penalty charges. Additionally, it can be used for future planning and analyzing various scenarios.

We also encourage our clients to have regular communications with their mentors, who can provide financial counseling or budgeting advice. It’s important to have a clear understanding of the payment plan and to request special counseling sessions to review finances or to request possibilities for discounts as early as possible.

At Cademix, we understand that financial stability is crucial to achieving career success, and we strive to provide our clients with the resources and support they need to achieve their goals. Please remember that all sorts of sections and communications with the mentors are included in the program, and you will not be charged for having multiple meetings with your mentor.

We hope that our financial management resources can help our clients navigate their career transitions and achieve financial stability, ultimately leading to their long-term success.

Career Upgrade and Payment Plan in the Cademix Career Autopilot Program

The Cademix Career Autopilot Program is designed to help clients achieve a career upgrade and receive a career goal in Europe. The program offers two main objectives and services: career acceleration and career development, including related educations, coaching sessions, certifications, all the way to achieve a job interview or a university interview, and job placement guarantee with related follow-up support.

The payment plan for the Cademix Career Autopilot Program includes a full down payment and rest payment. The full down payment should be paid in the beginning and/or during the program, even if the candidate decides to request a termination of the program. The rest payment is applicable only if the admission / job offer is received, signed, and the job seeker practically starts to receive the salaries.

For the Cademix Career Autopilot Regular, the 60% rest payment is applicable only if the job offer is received, signed, and the job seeker practically starts to receive the salaries. For the Cademix Career Autopilot Plus, the 30% rest payment is applicable once an admission/invitation is received and a new visa is issued. The other 30% is applicable once a job offer is received, signed, and the job seeker practically starts to receive the salaries.

Cademix Payment Plan System

At Cademix, we understand the importance of managing your finances effectively. That’s why we offer flexible payment options to our clients. When you join the program, you can choose to pay your fees in one lump sum or in installments over a set period. We also suggest to discuss your payment plans and you can also discuss them openly with your mentor.

In the event that you miss a payment, our late fee policy applies. Late payments are subject to a penalty charge of 1.5% or 2% per month delay (1.5 % for all delays prior to January 1st, 2023, and 2% after January 1st, 2023). In addition, we calculate an additional costs for extra communication time, and sending reminders and warnings. We encourage our clients to make payments on time to avoid incurring these fees.

Late Fee Policy and Delay Penalty Charges

At Cademix, we understand that life can be unpredictable and financial difficulties can arise. However, we also understand the importance of timely payments for the sustainability of our programs. Therefore, we have a clear late fee policy in place to encourage on-time payments while also being fair and considerate to our members.

If a member fails to make a payment by the due date, they will be subject to a late fee of 2% per month. This fee is calculated based on the outstanding balance at the end of each month until the payment is received. We understand that this may seem like an additional burden, but it is important to note that this fee is only applicable to late payments and is not a recurring charge.

While we are dedicated to helping our clients achieve career advancement, we also place a strong emphasis on payment obligations. It is important that clients adhere to their payment plan independent of their career progress. We understand that financial difficulties can arise, but we urge our clients to communicate with us in a timely manner so that we can work together to find a solution.

Reminders

We have a subtle system in place for sending reminders and warnings to our members. This is mainly based on gentle reminders during meetings and implicit request to submit reports. These reminders are sent via email and/or WhatsApp and are meant to serve as a friendly reminder to make the payment on time. We want to work with our members to avoid late fees and find solutions to any financial difficulties they may be facing.

If a member continues to be delinquent in their payments and fails to respond to our reminders and warnings, we may have to take legal action to recover the debt. Please consider that we would like to avoid this scenario at all costs, which is why we urge our members to communicate with us and keep us informed of any financial difficulties they may be facing.

We hope that our members understand the importance of timely payments and the role they play in the sustainability of our programs. We are always here to work with our members and find solutions to any challenges they may be facing.

Debt collection by KSV1870

It is important to fulfill the payment obligations and adhere to the conditions of the job placement guarantee in the Cademix Career Autopilot Program. Late payment results in a penalty charge of 2% per month delay, plus additional costs for sending reminders and warnings. Failure to pay invoices will result in debt collection by KSV1870.

Clients are encouraged to communicate regularly with their mentor and request special counseling sessions to review their finances or to request possibilities to get discounts as early as possible. It is important to have a clear understanding of the payment plan and to fulfill the payment obligations to ensure successful completion of the Cademix Career Autopilot Program and achieve the career goals.

Please note that non-payment of invoices will result in debt collection by KSV1870. The Kreditschutzverband KSV1870 is a state-privileged, economically and politically independent creditor protection association (Inkasso Office) and is the largest debt collection organization in Austria, and has offices in other 130 countries. It is important to understand that debt collection is a serious matter and can have long-term consequences on credit scores, official history and financial standing in many countries.

When a case is escalated to KSV1870, the total cost of an outstanding invoice will be increased by a minimum of 20%. This means that if a customer fails to make a payment and the case is referred to KSV1870, they will incur additional charges on top of the original invoice amount and penalty charges. The purpose of this escalation is to encourage prompt payment and discourage the accumulation of unpaid invoices. It is essential to maintain good financial records and ensure timely payments to avoid incurring additional costs and the escalation of debt collection procedures.

When an outstanding debt is escalated to an Inkasso office, it means that the creditor has exhausted all other means of collecting payment from the debtor. The Inkasso office will typically send a payment reminder and, if necessary, a formal demand for payment to the debtor.

If the debtor fails to respond or make payment, the Inkasso office may take further legal action to recover the outstanding amount. This can include sending a bailiff to seize assets or freezing bank accounts.

Legal proceedings can be costly and time-consuming for both parties, so it’s in everyone’s best interest to resolve the debt before it reaches this point. It’s crucial to communicate with the creditor or Inkasso office and try to come to a payment arrangement that works for both parties. By doing so, it’s possible to avoid additional costs and potential damage to your credit score.

Therefore, we have provided a list of typical reasons and excuses for payment delay to increase transparency and help our clients understand the factors that can impact their ability to make timely payments. However, it is important to note that this list is not meant to be used as a catalog of excuses to be employed in the future. We encourage our clients to communicate openly and honestly with us regarding any issues with their payments, and we are committed to working with them to find a feasible solution. If a client chooses to provide reasons or excuses for a payment delay, they should be prepared to pay the associated cost of verification, as described in the next sections. We believe that this approach helps to ensure fairness and transparency for all parties involved.

Assessing Legitimacy and Finding Viable Solutions

At Cademix Institute of Technology, we understand that unexpected circumstances can arise, and sometimes our clients and students may face financial difficulties that can affect their ability to make timely payments. We believe that communication and transparency are essential to maintaining a positive and respectful relationship with our clients, and we are committed to working with them to find a feasible solution that meets their needs and ours.

When a client or student contacts us with a request for a late payment or an alternative payment plan, we take several steps to verify the legitimacy of their request and assess whether we can offer them a viable solution. Our verification process includes reviewing their account history, checking the status of their payments, and evaluating the reasons they provide for their request.

We understand that sometimes unexpected circumstances can arise, such as medical emergencies, job loss, or unexpected expenses, that can impact a client’s ability to pay on time. However, we also recognize that some excuses may not be entirely truthful or reasonable. Therefore, we ask our clients to provide us with as much detail and documentation as possible to support their claims and verify the legitimacy of their request.

In addition to the verification process, we also consider other factors when assessing whether we can offer a late payment or an alternative payment plan. These factors include the level of commitment of the client or student to the program or project, how much time and resources they have invested, their level of loyalty and advocacy to the program in terms of referral of further clients and offering testimonials, and their engagement level in terms of internal and public activities, such as social media.

We believe that these factors are important in assessing the overall value of the client or student to our organization, and we take them into consideration when deciding whether we can offer a viable solution. We are committed to supporting our clients and students to the best of our ability, and we strive to maintain a positive and respectful relationship with them, even in difficult circumstances.

If we determine that we can offer a late payment or an alternative payment plan, we will work with the client or student to develop a feasible solution that meets their needs and ours. We understand that every situation is unique, and we try to find a solution that is fair and reasonable for all parties involved.

However, if we determine that we cannot offer a viable solution, we will inform the client or student of our decision and provide them with a deadline for making their payment. If the deadline passes, we may have to hand over the case to a debt collection organization to recover the outstanding balance.

At Cademix Institute of Technology, we believe that maintaining a positive and respectful relationship with our clients and students is essential to our success. Therefore we try to work with them to find a feasible solution that meets their needs and ours. We understand that unexpected circumstances can arise, and we are here to support our clients and students to the best of our ability.

The Cost of Transparency: Our Policy on Payment Delay Excuses and Verification Expenses

Adhering to the agreed payment plan is crucial to maintaining a positive and respectful relationship with our clients. However, if a client falls behind the original payment plan by 60 days or more, we require a special payment plan to be created in the form of a tabular data. The payment plan is typically as an Excel file according to an available template. We believe that this approach helps to ensure that the payment plan remains feasible and achievable for both parties involved.

It is the responsibility of the clients (Students and member of the acceleration program) to create and report this payment plan regularly. We have also previously offered a workshop about it that describes the method of creating such a payment plan, along with a template for reference. However, if a client fails to create and report the payment plan on time, we offer the service of creating the specialized payment plan for an additional charge of 120 Euro. We believe that this approach helps to ensure that our collective responsibilities and payment policies remain transparent and fair for all parties involved.

We also understand that the verification process for payment delay excuses is time-consuming and challenging. It is however necessary to ensure that our payment policies remain fair and transparent. Therefore, we have decided to charge an additional flat rate of 120 Euro every time a client requests an update to their payment plan. This fee approximately reflects the additional time and resources we will need to invest in the verification process. We hope that clients will consider this cost before requesting an update to their payment plan, or justifying a major delay. It is essential to note that any changes to the payment plan will only affect the timetable of the payments, while the amount of payments and applied penalty charges will remain the same. Therefore, we strongly advise clients to consider the cost of verification and the potential benefits of an updated payment plan before making a request.

As a legal and regulated business, we at Cademix Institute of Technology, must ensure that our policies and procedures are designed to protect the interests of our organization and our respected clients. Therefore, we have decided to implement an additional penalty charge of 500 EUR, for every instance that any client found to have presented dishonest or fraudulent information in an attempt to escape from payment obligations or to misrepresent their financial situation. We have intentionally designed the higher penalty charges to prevent clients from engaging untruthful actions and to emphasize the importance of transparency and honesty in our relationships with our clients. We believe that this approach helps to ensure fairness and accountability in our payment policies and procedures.

It is essential to note that the decision to impose the penalty charge will be made at the sole discretion of Cademix Institute of Technology, and clients will have the right to contest the charge through a formal appeals process. However, we strongly encourage all clients to communicate openly and honestly with us regarding any issues with their payments, as we are committed to working with them to find a feasible solution that meets their needs and ours.
