E-Learning Terms of Use
1. Scope of Application
These General Terms and Conditions of Participation apply to the provision of training, e-learning and further training measures by Limes Security GmbH (hereinafter referred to as Limes Security).
2. Registration and Order
At www.limessecurity.com/en/academy you will find the complete training offer with all details and can register there directly. Registration becomes binding upon confirmation of registration from Limes Security or TÜV Austria Akademie. Places are limited and will therefore be allocated in the order of registration. Please note the registration deadline of at least 5 working days before the start of the training.
3. Participation Fees and Terms of Payment
The prices listed in the list of courses or on the website are valid plus the legal value added tax. These are due for payment immediately after invoicing without deductions and stating the invoice number. A surcharge of 7% will be charged for payment by credit card (PayPal). We will send you the invoice to the e-mail address you provided in the registration form before the start of the training. Unless otherwise stated in the order confirmation, the participation fee is per person and event date and includes digital training materials as well as lunch and drinks during breaks for public trainings. E-learning trainings do not include digital training materials, unless stated otherwise. Travel costs for our trainers for in-house trainings are not included in the training price and are offered separately.
4. Examination and Certificate Fee
The currently valid examination and certificate fee can be found in the course program of the TÜV AUSTRIA Academy. If you decide to cancel your registration for the examination, you must do so in writing and there will be no charge for this up to 7 working days before the examination date. After that or in case of non-attendance, the full examination fee will be charged. The examination and certificate fee includes the issue of a certificate (German or English). The fee for an additional certificate can be found in the course program of the TÜV AUSTRIA Academy. It is possible to repeat the examination once free of charge, on the date scheduled by the certification body. Further examination repetitions will be charged according to time and effort. Unless agreed separately, e-learning trainings generally do not include certification.
5. Accommodation
Hotel reservations and costs for accommodation and meals outside seminar times are at the customer’s expense.
6. Execution and Cancellation
Limes Security reserves the right to cancel the trainings offered if the minimum number of participants is not reached (with the exception of e-learning trainings). Limes Security also reserves the right to change trainers and venues as well as to change dates and the program schedule. Participants will be informed of any changes in good time. If a training does not take place, any payments already made in respect of participation shall be refunded to the participant without deductions. Further claims by the client are excluded; this also includes the case that a participant misses a seminar day through their own fault.
7. Training Times
The specified training times, in particular the training duration as well as the end times, are to be understood as indicative values which can be influenced by interactive elements or discussions with the participants. Our trainers strive to offer the best possible learning experience for training participants. However, there is no claim to exact adherence to the training time. If at least 80% of the training units are attended, the participant will receive a certificate of attendance. Training times for e-learning trainings can be chosen freely and individually by the participant. After successful completion, e-learning users also receive a certificate of attendance.
8. Revocation and Cancellations
Cancellations for trainings must be made in writing and are free of charge up to 7 working days before the start of the event. The cancellation deadline is only deemed to have been met if the written notice of cancellation is received within the deadline at the e-mail address provided for the training registration. From 6 working days up to 1 working day before the start of the event, 30% of the participation fee will be charged for cancellations. If a registration for a follow-up training on the same topic is made during this period, a reduced cancellation fee of 10% will be charged. There is no entitlement to a subsequent date, the corresponding new registration must be confirmed by Limes Security. In case of no-show or cancellation from the (first) day of the event, the full attendance fee will be charged. The cancellation fee is due when the declaration of withdrawal becomes effective and must be paid regardless of the reasons for withdrawal. The cancellation fee shall not apply if the customer names a substitute participant who meets the admission requirements and pays the participation fee.
E-Learning trainings begin on the day the login details are provided. The login details shall be provided at the latest within 7 working days of receipt of full payment by Limes Security or by an agreed deadline. Cancellations of E-Learning trainings that have already been purchased are not possible.
9. Changes of Booking
A desired rebooking to another training or another date must be made by the customer by e-mail. Whether a rebooking is possible, and under what conditions, is to be assessed by Limes Security on a case-by-case basis. There is no right to rebooking.
10. In-house Training
Please get in touch with us in good time so that your desired appointment can be taken into account. The reservation can be made only after presentation of the written order.
