These General Terms and Conditions (GTC) apply to all contracts between UniFash GmbH (hereinafter referred to as the “Provider”) and the participants (hereinafter referred to as the “Customer”) concerning participation in online continuing education programs, courses, and related digital services.
Any deviating or conflicting terms and conditions of the Customer shall not apply unless the Provider has expressly agreed to their validity in writing.
⸻
The Provider offers certified online continuing education programs in the field of fashion design and bespoke tailoring. Instruction is provided online with supervised guidance.
The contract is concluded once the Customer has signed the contract PDF sent by the Provider via email and returned it to the Provider.
⸻
During the agreed course period, the Provider shall make available to the Customer the contractually agreed teaching units, learning content, supervision, and feedback services.
There is no entitlement to a specific learning outcome, qualification, certificate, or professional placement.
⸻
For the storage and documentation of work and portfolio materials, the Provider provides participants with access to a secure cloud storage solution (Nextcloud).
The cloud storage is used exclusively for file storage and portfolio documentation. It is not a learning platform, not a teaching system, and does not replace instruction or examinations.
There is no entitlement to permanent storage of data beyond the duration of the course. After the course ends and following a reasonable grace period, the stored data will be deleted.
⸻
Participation in the online continuing education programs requires a stable internet connection and an internet-enabled device (PC, laptop, or tablet). Responsibility for the necessary technical equipment lies with the Customer.
⸻
All course content, teaching materials, scripts, videos, and other materials are protected by copyright. Any reproduction, distribution, or publication, in whole or in part, is prohibited without the prior written consent of the Provider.
⸻
This section applies exclusively to self-funded participants. Participants funded by an education voucher are subject to the regulations of the respective funding authority.
(1) Due Dates
In the case of monthly or installment payments, the respective amounts must be paid by the contractually specified due dates.
(2) Default in Payment
If the Customer is in default of payment, the statutory provisions pursuant to Section 286 of the German Civil Code (BGB) shall apply.
(3) Reminder Fees
Reasonable reminder fees may be charged for justified payment reminders, insofar as these have actually been incurred.
(4) Suspension of Services
If payment is overdue by more than 14 days, the Provider is entitled to temporarily suspend access to digital services until the outstanding balance has been fully settled.
(5) Termination for Cause
If payments remain outstanding despite reminders, the Provider is entitled to terminate the contract for cause. In this case, the Provider’s claim to the agreed remuneration shall remain in force, less any expenses saved.
(6) Debt Collection
If outstanding claims are transferred to a legal service provider, the Customer shall bear the statutory costs of debt collection.
(7) Set-Off
Set-off is permitted only with claims that have been legally established or are undisputed.
⸻
Participants holding a valid education voucher issued by the Employment Agency or Jobcenter shall not bear any course costs. Billing is carried out directly between the Provider and the respective funding authority.
For funded participants, the applicable statutory and funding regulations shall apply in addition.
⸻

Notice on Early Expiry of the Right of Withdrawal
The right of withdrawal shall expire prematurely if the Customer has expressly agreed that the course shall begin before the expiry of the withdrawal period and has confirmed that they thereby lose their right of withdrawal.
