You can cancel your contract within 14 days without giving any reasons in text form (e. g. letter, fax, email). The time limit begins after receipt of this notification in text form, but not before the contract is concluded and neither before the fulfillment of our obligation to inform in accordance with Article 246 § 2 in connection with § 1 Section 1 and 2 EGBGB and our obligations in accordance with § 312e Section 1 Sentence 1 BGB (German Civil Code) in connection with 246 § 3 BGB.

Fax: +49 241 4004768-9
Email: info@edudip.com

In the case of an effective revocation, the mutually received benefits and any benefit derived (e.g. interest) have to be surrendered. If you cannot restitute to us the entire or parts of the service or only in a deterioted condition, you may be obliged to pay an indemnification. This can cause you to fulfill your contractual payment obligations for the period up to revocation. You are obliged to refund any open payments within 30 days. The period begins with the transmission of your revocation and for us with their reception.
Special notes:
Your right of cancellation will expire prematurely if the contract has been completely fulfilled by both parts before you have practiced your right of withdrawal.

1.
The platform must be used only for information about webinars, to participate in webinars and to perform webinars and other online events in the virtual conference and consultationrooms.

If the data that were submitted through the registration process change, the new data must be reported to edudip in writing immediately.

Since edudip has only a limited review about the accurancy of the deposited member data, even when written evidence is submitted, the provision of false information is not excluded. Therefore each member has to check the contractors identity by himself or herself.

The membership account must not be transferred to third parties. Contact data of other members that are known through the use of the platform may be used only for (pre-)contract communication.

3.
On the platform, in the webinars and in other events no data shall be set, no statement shall be made, no information shall be given and no contents shall be transferred which violate law or morality or injure rights of third persons or discriminate persons of other races, of other ethnic origin, of other gender, of other religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation.

The members agree to comply with the technical minimum requirements and to check if the connection to the virtual conference rooms can be established in good time prior to a webinar or prior to the participation in a webinar. In case of technical troubles they further agree to remedy existing malfunctions early enough if they are responsible for them. If a connection cannot be established, edudip must be informed in time. You can contact edudip via the contact information in the legal notice of the website or via the service hotline +49 241 4004768-0.

II. Use of the platform as a participant

Only those members who have booked the webinar may attend these. For other persons the active or passive participation is not allowed.

Trainers or consultants may only conduct webinars or other online events where compliance with the minimum technical requirements is ensured (see § 6 I No. 4).

If the webinar is published on the edudip Marketplace you are obliged to describe the content of you webinar in your webinar offer and to inform about the beginning of the webinars, the minimum number of participants and the application fee.

The teachers are solely responsible for compliances with the legislation in force. edudip draws particular attention to the observance of relevant rules of distance selling law, the teleservice law, tax law, the provisions of the price regulation, the Distance Learning Protection law and the obligations in electronic commerce.

2.
The webinars, which are offered and booked on the platform are to be held in the virtual classrooms of edudip.

If a webinar has not been booked yet, it can be changed or deleted by the teachers. The deletion of a webinar offer that has already been booked is only possible through edudip.

4.
edudip is authorised to delete a webinar offer or a webinar or other online events from the platform, if there is an evidence of violation against § 9 INo. 3 of the terms and conditions by setting offers or the implementation of webinars and other online events. A webinar offer or a webinar can also be deleted if the minimum number of participants is not achieved at the start of the event or if the webinar was not fullly conducted.

5.
To ensure a trouble-free flow of payments (see § 7), the trainers oblige that their current bank account is deposited at edudip. In case that a teacher is responsible for a chargeback or incorrect entries, the trainer is obligated to pay the resulting costs within 14 days on the specified account of edudip. Without prejudice to other rights edudip is entitled to disable the trainer's account if such payment has not been made on time and if edudip has threatened the teacher with a lock of his account by a writing or per email 14 days before. If it is not reasonable for edudip to observe the waiting period, edudip is allowed to disable the member's account immediately and without prior notice.

§ 7 Payments

edudip handles the payment transaction for the payment of participation fees between participants and presenters after the following regulations. Since edudip only acts as a clearing house, edudip does not check the creditworthiness of the members.

The participation fees are to be paid by the participants to edudip before the start of the webinar. As soon as edudip receives the payment, edudip will send a link to the participant with its help the participation on the booked webinar is possible.

Via the system of the platform, bills of the bookings are sent automatically via email on behalf of the presenter to the participants. The trainers will automatically receive a copy of the respective invoice by email.

The registration fees are paid to the teachers after the accomplishment of the webinar.

edudip is technically able to determine whether a webinar was performed or not. If edudip determines through such a test that a webinar has not been held or if a teacher notifies edudip about a cancellation of a webinar that has already been booked, the claim of a teacher's withdrawal of the participation fee expires and in this case edudip reimburses the participants' registration fee in full return to the participants. This does not apply for a webinar that was deficient or not implemented in full length.

The fees are listed under "https://www.edudip.market/webinarsoftware/" and can be printed and downloaded there. All prices are net prices. Delivery and/or shipping costs do not occur.

In the case of urgency, edudip is not obligated to this. In every case, edudip will take account of the member's legitimate interests. The right of extraordinary termination remains unaffected.

§ 12 Technical availability

Due to technical reasons, edudip cannot guarantee permanent full availability of the servers on which the platform is operated. At times, the availabilty of the platform may be limited - especially because of necessary maintenance or repair work. edudip will inform all members about the implementation of planned maintenance work and its extent in time by an information on the platform. If the system breaks down unpredictably, edudip will notify the members if possible about the extent and the duration of the outage.

§ 13 Liability

edudip is not liable for material damage and pure financial losses - on whatever legal reason - that arise in connection with the use of the platform, unless the damage arised from the infringement of an essential contractual duty or some other intentional or roughly careless breach of obligation by edudip, their legal representatives or their assistants. Material contractual obligations are obligations whose fulfillment allow the proper execution of the contract and make the achievement of the purpose of the contract possible, so the contracting party can trust on, and as well obligations, which are for the protection of the contractor and its contractual legal positions of fundamental importance.

The liability for material damage and pure financial losses as a result of slightly negligent breach of a contractual obligation is limited to the replacement of the predictable damages when the contract was concluded.

§ 14 Set-off

Members may set off against claims of edudip only with undisputed claims or those declared final and absolute by a court.

§ 15 Release

The members undertake to exempt edudip from all claims of other members or third parties, which enforce these because of the violation of their rights due to the use of the platform through the respective member against edudip. This does not apply if the member is not responsible for the violation of rights. The obligation for exemption includes the acquistion of apporpriate legal defense costs.

§ 16 Final clauses

I. Modification of the terms and conditions

edudip may change these terms and conditions at any time without giving any reasons. The modified terms and conditions with typographical highlighting of changes will be sent to the members by e-mail at least three weeks before they become effective.

The members can contradict to the changes within three weeks of receipt of that email. When a member continues the membership without contradicting the changes within this period, the amended terms and conditions are approved. edudip will point out the consequence of a consistent continuation of the contract in that email.

II. Applicable Law

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply. If a person concludes a membership contract as a consumer, i.e. for a purpose which cannot be regarded as a professional or commercial activity, the provisions of the state in which the user has his habitual residence are to be granted, insofar as they provide the user with greater protection than the law of the Federal Republic of Germany.

III. Jurisdiction

If the member is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or special fund under public law, or the member has no general jurisdiction in Germany, Aachen is the jurisdiction for any disputes arising in connection with the membership contract and the use of the platform. This also applies if a member has no general jurisdiction in Germany, moved his residence or usual place of residence after registration from the scope of the Federal Republic of Germany or even if the domicile or the habitual residence is not known at the time of the legal action has been risen.

IV. Severability Clause

The ineffectiveness of a fiscal condition does not affect the validity of the remaining terms and conditions.
