General Terms and Conditions

1. Scope

These General Terms and Conditions apply to all contracts between UniFash GmbH and participants for online further education, digital courses, supervised e-learning services, and other digital educational services.

The participant's deviating terms and conditions shall not apply unless the UniFash GmbH has expressly agreed to their validity in writing.

2. Conclusion of contract

The contract comes into effect as soon as the participant signs and returns the participant agreement provided by UniFash GmbH, and UniFash GmbH accepts it.

The documented time of signing, return, digital transmission or acceptance by UniFash GmbH is decisive for the conclusion of the contract.

3. Subject of contract

UniFash GmbH offers online continuing education courses in the fields of fashion design, pattern cutting, bespoke tailoring, fashion craft education, and digital fashion education.

Teaching is digital, supervised, and delivered via UniFash's online systems, learning platforms, cloud structures, and communication channels.

4. Digital content and digital services

Digital content and digital services include, in particular:

• Access to the online learning platform
• Nextcloud access and digital course folders
• Videos, PDF documents, scripts, worksheets and tasks
• Additional tasks, project documents and digital course structures
• Upload options for participant submissions
• Digital support, feedback processes and communication services
• technical setup, participant management and course activation

5. Commencement before expiry of the cancellation period

If the participant requests the commencement of a course or activation before the expiry of the statutory cancellation period, their express consent is required for this.

The participant must actively confirm before unlocking:

• that UniFash may begin providing the service before the expiry of the withdrawal period,
• that digital content and course modules may be made available immediately,
• that in the event of a later revocation, compensation for value may be incurred for services already rendered,
• that the cancellation policy and the model cancellation form have been received.

6. Consumer's right of withdrawal

Consumers generally have a statutory right of withdrawal. Details can be found in the separate withdrawal notice from UniFash GmbH.

The cancellation policy and the sample cancellation form will be made available to the participant before the conclusion of the contract or during the conclusion of the contract.

The model withdrawal form can be downloaded here: Download sample cancellation form

7. Compensation for digital services commenced

If the participant expressly requests UniFash to begin performance before the expiry of the cancellation period, and the participant later cancels the contract, UniFash may demand compensation for services already rendered in accordance with statutory provisions.

The compensation can include, but is not limited to, the following services:

• already unlocked course modules
• provided learning materials and tasks
• Access to digital course structures
• Technical setup and platform provision
• Administrative processing and participant management
• Previous care, communication or feedback services

8. Special prices, discounts, and reduced participation fees

Granted special prices, discounts, or reduced participation fees generally apply to the full completion of the agreed course.

In the event of premature cancellation, withdrawal after commencement of performance, or any other early termination, the economic value of services already provided may be taken into account on a pro rata basis, based on the regular or agreed course value.

9. Self-payers and funding

In the case of self-pay contracts, participation is independent of approval by the employment agency, job centre, or other funding bodies.

The refusal of unemployment benefit, citizen's allowance, education voucher or other funding does not automatically establish a special right of termination, nor an automatic claim for rescission of the contract.

10. Usage, Logging, and Evidence

For the implementation, documentation, and quality assurance of the training, UniFash may store usage data, insofar as this is legally permissible.

This can include, in particular:

• Activation date
• Login times
• Accesses to course folders and course modules
• Upload times
• Communication and feedback processes
• technical confirmations and declarations of consent

11. Participant responsibilities

Participants undertake to use the course materials provided solely for their own learning purposes. Disclosure, publication, reproduction, or commercial use without the written consent of UniFash GmbH is prohibited.

12. Copyright

All course content, videos, scripts, assignments, methods, documents, designs, and digital materials are protected by copyright. All rights remain with UniFash GmbH or the respective rights holders.

13. Liability

UniFash GmbH shall be liable without limitation in cases of intent, gross negligence, and for damages arising from injury to life, body, or health.

In cases of slight negligence, UniFash GmbH shall only be liable for breaches of essential contractual obligations and limited to foreseeable, contract-typical damages.

14. Final provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies. For consumers, the statutory place of jurisdiction applies. For entrepreneurs, the place of jurisdiction, insofar as permissible, is Würzburg.

Should individual provisions of these Terms and Conditions be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.
