4. Registration, payment methods and access

4.1 Registration

The registration must be made by telephone (online registration) via the registration mask of worklifelearn and is legally binding.

After registration, the user will receive an electronic registration confirmation to the e-mail address he/she has to provide. This confirmation contains the data of the user and the respective service booked. Upon receipt of the electronic confirmation by the user, the contract with ibis acam is concluded and entitles the user to participate in and use the online services of worklifelearn.

The user only enters the worklifelearn system by accepting these GTC. This is stored in the user record and displayed in the user profile data for information purposes, without the possibility of change.

A cancellation option exists only under the conditions set out in point 6 of these GTC.

4.2 Redemption of assigned voucher codes

If a worklifelearn service is commissioned and arranged by AMS Austria, its offices or other public bodies/institutions, the specific service can be claimed by redeeming a voucher code issued in advance.

Users will receive the code from employees of ibis acam or Aspire Group together with a registration link.

4.3 Taking advantage of free offers

If a worklifelearn service is offered free of charge due to promotions or advertising measures, a claim for the specific service can be made by redeeming a voucher code issued in advance.

Users will receive the code from employees of ibis acam or Aspire Group together with a registration link.

4.4 User fee and payment modalities

The usage fee is determined by ibis acam. This already includes all possible charges, taxes as well as the transaction costs of the payment transaction.

The fee payable is shown as a gross total amount during the registration and payment process.

"PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A." has been selected by ibis acam as the Payments Service Provider for the processing of payments for Work-Life-Learn services. The user therefore transmits his/her payment data directly to the payment application "Braintree Direct" of PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A. in the course of registration.

The services offered by ibis acam can only be used if the user authorizes this payment service provider to process the payment transaction and expressly agrees to its terms of use and data protection provisions (see www.braintreepayments.com/at/legal/braintree-privacy-policy).

The user has the possibility to choose from the payment methods implemented and activated by the payment service provider for ibis acam for the payment of the fee, these can be:

Credit card
Paypal
Eps / Klarna
Google Pay
Apple Pay

The processing of payment data is carried out exclusively by the above-mentioned payment service provider.

In exchange for entering his/her payment data with the payment service provider, the user shall receive a one-time valid assignment code for the selected payment method directly from the payment service provider ("payment nonce"). The code is transmitted to ibis acam as part of the payment. This allows the processing of the payment without ibis acam processing the payment data of the user.

4.5. ccess to the portal and to the virtual consulting rooms

The access data (user name and password for login) for the worklifelearn offer of ibis acam are determined in the course of the binding registration and, if applicable, payment by the user himself/herself. Users must activate their access by clicking on a confirmation link sent by e-mail.

ibis acam uses Blackboard Collaborate as well as Blackboard Learn for virtual consulting and education services (www.blackboard.com/de-de/solutions).

In the case of registration on www.worklifelearn.com, a user with the same name is therefore created in Blackboard Collaborate and Blackboard Learn. By registering, the user accepts Blackboard's corresponding terms of use and privacy policy (see help.blackboard.com/en/privacy_statement).

The disclosure of access data to third parties is prohibited. The user is obliged to keep access data secret. In the event of loss or disclosure of access data to third parties, the user must inform ibis acam immediately.

ibis acam cannot technically determine the identity of a user with certainty and therefore does not provide any guarantee for the identity of the user. In case of reasonable doubt about the identity, access can be blocked by ibis acam.

Access to specific educational content may only be possible after downloading the software offered by ibis acam and required for the respective education (see also item 10 of these GTC, Licenses and Downloads).

5. Withdrawal from a distance contract

For bookings made at a distance (in particular via the Internet or e-mail), the user, as a consumer within the meaning of the Consumer Protection Act (KSchG), is entitled to a statutory right of withdrawal without stating reasons in accordance with the provisions of the Distance and Foreign Transactions Act (FAGG) within 14 calendar days, calculated from the conclusion of the contract.

The withdrawal period shall be deemed to have been observed if a written declaration of withdrawal (e.g. letter, fax, e-mail) is made and sent within the above-mentioned period (the date of the postmark is decisive).

This written notice of withdrawal should be addressed to:

ibis acam Bildungs GmbH

Geiselbergstrasse 15-19

Staircase 1

1110 Vienna

E-mail: [email protected]

The user is free to use this sample declaration of withdrawal or to fill in another clear declaration with the required contents.

6. Cancellations and non-utilization of services

The user also has the possibility to cancel booked services under the following conditions:

Registrations can be cancelled either directly via the cancellation function on the website www.worklifelearn.com or in writing (i.e. by post or e-mail to ibis acam Bildungs GmbH). However, written cancellations (by mail or e-mail) that are not made directly in the worklifelearn portal system and are displayed there require confirmation of receipt by ibis acam in order to be effective.

In case of cancellation of a booked "one-time service" up to 7 calendar days before the use of the service of ibis acam (e.g. webinar, individual coaching, online seminar), the processing fee is 7% of the fee (incl. VAT). The remaining amount will be refunded.

Cancellations received after this date and/or non-participation will be required to pay the full fee; no refunds will be given.

In the event of cancellation of individual services with affiliated companies of the Aspire Group or third parties, the respective cancellation conditions agreed with these companies shall apply.

"Booked subscriptions" may be cancelled at any time with effect from the last day of the month. The cancellation shall be deemed to have been received on time if it has been confirmed by the payment service provider by the last day of the month. The risk of timely processing is borne by the user.

If, after initial use of a service provided by ibis acam, a participant does not use it or uses it only partially, he/she shall also bear the total costs, unless cancellation/cancellation is made in good time.

7. Omission of services

ibis acam reserves the right to postpone or cancel offered services (for specific course bookings) for factual reasons (e.g. short-term cancellation of a trainer who cannot be replaced). The participant will be informed immediately in writing (by e-mail) of any postponement or cancellation. In case of a final cancellation, the (pro-rata) fee for concretely cancelled services will be refunded; no further processing fees will be charged. In the case of such cancellations, however, no compensation can be provided for any expenses incurred on the part of the user.

ibis acam does not guarantee the performance of services offered by other educational institutions through www.worklifelearn.com.

8. Data protection

ibis acam respects the privacy of the users of the worklifelearn portal. When collecting and processing personal data, the applicable legal data protection provisions are observed.

Personal data as well as other data related to the provision of services are processed automatically for the purpose of order processing, contract and customer management, quality assurance, as well as for statistical evaluations and for the fulfillment of legal obligations, in compliance with the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation and the Austrian Data Protection Act. The data will be stored only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described and deleted as soon as the purposes of data processing cease to apply.

The user accepts the privacy policy on the website of the worklifelearn portal as an integral part of these GTC in the course of registration.

ibis acam reserves the right to change the privacy policy at any time. The currently valid privacy policy can be found on the website www.worklifelearn.com.
