1. General

1.1 Scope of application
These General Terms and Conditions apply in the version valid at the time of conclusion of the contract to all business relationships between us (l.i.d. – learn.interact.digital., Wurm & Hombach GbR, Zum Schlüchtern 39, 57482 Wenden) and you. Should you use conflicting general terms and conditions, these are hereby expressly rejected.

1.2 Contractual agreement
The languages of the contract are German and English. In the event of questions of interpretation between the different language versions of these General Terms and Conditions, the German version shall be authoritative.

"Clients" are individuals or companies that have entered into a course contract with us.

"Participants" are those persons who take part in the relevant courses.

1.3 Conclusion of contract
The contract is concluded individually through offer and acceptance. Unless otherwise agreed, the usual procedure is that you submit a request to us and we then send you a binding offer, which you can accept within two weeks. The contract is concluded upon acceptance. We do not store the text of the contract separately; instead, the content of the contract is determined individually by the agreement reached.

1.4 Use of the learning platform
No separate registration is required to use the learning platform. After conclusion of the contract, you will receive the relevant access data by email, which will allow you to access the learning platform in accordance with the contractual agreement.

The access data that enables you to access the learning platform must be treated as strictly confidential and must not be disclosed to third parties who are not covered by the contractual agreement. You shall take appropriate and reasonable measures to prevent third parties from gaining knowledge of the access data. Access authorization cannot be transferred to other third parties. We are not liable for any damage caused by the misuse of the access data.

1.5 Subsequent changes to the terms and conditions
We are entitled to subsequently amend and supplement the General Terms and Conditions with regard to existing business relationships if changes in legislation or case law require this or if other circumstances lead to a significant disruption of the contractual equivalence relationship. A subsequent amendment to the terms and conditions shall take effect if you do not object within six weeks of notification of the amendment. At the beginning of the period, we will expressly inform you that your silence will be taken as acceptance of the contract amendment and give you the opportunity to submit an express declaration during the period. If you object within the period, both we and you may terminate the contractual relationship extraordinarily, unless we allow the contractual relationship to continue under the old General Terms and Conditions.

11.3 Data backup
We carry out effective data backups as part of the provision of services but do not provide a general data backup guarantee for the data you transmit. You are also responsible for creating appropriate backups of your data at regular intervals to prevent data loss. We will exercise reasonable care in providing the agreed service and will perform the data backup with the necessary expertise. However, we do not guarantee that the stored content or data you access will not be accidentally damaged or falsified, lost or partially removed.

11.4 Liability for content
You are solely responsible for the content of your contributions or your profile. Your content may not violate applicable laws or these General Terms and Conditions. You also undertake not to transmit any data whose content violates the rights of third parties (e.g., personal rights, rights to a name, trademark rights, copyrights, etc.). In particular, contributions or profiles with criminal content may not be published, or untrue facts may not be claimed. As the operator of the website, we are not liable for incorrect information provided by users in their posts or profiles. We do not check the content posted on our website by customers (in particular, with regard to the infringement of third-party rights). However, should we become aware of incorrect, inaccurate, misleading, or illegal information, we will check this immediately and remove it if necessary. We also accept no liability for the accuracy, up-to-dateness, completeness, quality, or legality of content that does not originate from us. We merely make our platform available to you.
