5. Prices
All prices are stated excluding VAT unless it is clearly stated that the price includes VAT.
6. Delivery
Upon completion of registration/sending of the course welcome e-mail, EKU's online E-Learning services are considered delivered and cannot be subject to cancellation. Immediately after enrolment, a course welcome e-mail is sent to the course participant's e-mail address.
Once this e-mail has been sent to the e-mail address provided by the customer when ordering, EKU cannot be held responsible for receiving or reading these e-mails. From the sending of these emails, there are normally 45 days to complete the course after which the course access is automatically closed.
Failure to complete the course does not entitle to compensation of any kind. Course reminders are sent to course participants who have not completed the course approx. 14 days before the end of the course and approx. 7 days before the end of the course.
If the course has not been completed within the scheduled period, a deadline extension of 30 days may be granted against payment of half the course price per course participator. Requests for extensions must be made no later than 7 days after the end of the course.
Courses are solely for the personal use of the registered course participant and may not be transferred in whole or in part to a third party.
7. Course Certificate
When the course participant has successfully completed the course an email with the course certificate attached will automatically be sent. If the course completion email with attached certificate has not been received within 15 minutes after successful completion of the final test please contact EKU. It is the responsibility of the course participant to print the course certificate.
8. Payment
EKU recognises payment in the currency in which the invoice is issued. All prices are based on net cash payment. Payment can be made by credit card or by sending an invoice (payment terms net cash). If payment is not received by EKU within 7 days, the payment deadline has been exceeded.
In the event of late payment, interest and fees will be charged in accordance with applicable Danish legislation. No payment fees or administration fees will be added except for costs in connection with any reminders or debt collection.
Invoicing is normally effected by sending an invoice to the e-mail address provided. If desired, invoicing can be done electronically via ean. EKU accepts that the customer pays in another currency provided that the customer pays all costs associated with this. This means that the customer pays the costs of both payment and receipt of payment.
In special cases, EKU may arrange for invoices to be paid by credit card. In the event of non-payment, EKU is entitled to close access to purchased courses without notice, regardless of whether or not they have commenced.
9. Quote, Order and Order Confirmation
Orders shall contain the names and email addresses of the course participants to be enrolled. EKU cannot be held responsible in case of any errors in them. Once a course participant is enrolled, the order is bound to this course participant and can only be changed to another course participant by renewed enrolment and payment.
10. Cancellation
Once the course participant has been created and the course welcome email has been sent, the enrolment is binding and cannot be cancelled.
However, we offer cancellation of the course participants for a fee of DKK 300. If the cancellation request is made no later than 7 days after registration and the course has not yet been commenced. Registration of a course that has commenced is determined solely on the basis of information registered with EKU.
11. Company Manager (CM)
A Company Manager will automatically receive a copy of their own students' course welcome email and certificate email when a course is completed. The creation of a CM account is a free service. EKU retains the priviliege to alter the CM account without prior notice or agreement. This can include replacement or deletion of the account. No explicit reason has to be stated if these changes occur.
When there are active course participants, the CM receives a weekly report with the students' completion status.
12. The Platform
The Customer is not permitted to integrate, in whole or in part, parts of the Platform in service, programmes, or to download, redistribute, license, lend or sell the content. EKU holds the entire copyright to the services and content on the Platform. The Platform is regarded as EKU's intellectual property. Infringement of this will result in claims for compensation.
Exploitation of vulnerability on the Platform is considered criminal and is prohibited. Any person engaging in such behaviour is immediately subject to applicable cybercrime laws.
13. Copyright
All content in EKU's courses and platform is covered by applicable copyright law. These rights belong exclusively to EKU or a third party with whom EKU has established or sought to establish an agreement.
The course participant is only entitled to use the material to the extent necessary to complete the course. Thus, the courses may not be printed, copied, recorded or otherwise disseminated in whole or in part without EKU's prior written permission. Violation of this will be met with a claim for compensation.
14. Product Liability
The course content has been prepared in accordance with applicable rules, standards and regulations, and the highest possible degree of compliance has been endeavoured. Interpretations thereof are ultimately subject to legal judgement. EKU can therefore not be held liable in any way.
EKU cannot be held liable, directly or indirectly, for any loss - direct or indirect - that may arise in connection with the use of the services.
15. Force Majeure1
EKU reserves the right to exemption from liability, including delivery obligation and liability for damages, in the event of the occurrence of circumstances of an extraordinary nature beyond EKU's control.
16. Other Terms
This document has been created as a copy of the same provisions in Danish. In the event of any inconsistency between the translation and the Danish provisions, the Danish provisions shall prevail.
Any dispute in relation to the co-operation shall be subjected to Danish law and practice and shall, prior to any judicial decision, be attempted to be settled in the following order: Negotiation, Mediation2, Arbitration3, Court.
1 Force majeure is used as there is a desire on the part of the legislator that one or both parties to a contract should not be obliged to fulfill the agreement if fulfillment is impossible or unreasonably burdensome due to unforeseeable events. However, this does not mean that the party against whom force majeure is invoked is forced to accept the relationship. Therefore, there are also extremely strict requirements for when a situation constitutes force majeure. As a rule, force majeure cannot be invoked in the event of, for example, economic fluctuations, strikes, traffic accidents, delays or suddenly increased costs.
2 Moderation.
3 Characterized by the fact that instead of going to court, the parties set up a private court, the arbitration court, which decides the dispute with binding effect for the parties.
