General terms and conditions of business and use (online training courses)

Status: 18.02.2025

1 Scope of application

The business relationship between CIT and the participant is governed exclusively by the following General Terms and Conditions in the version valid at the time of registration.

2 Conclusion of contract

Your registration constitutes an offer to us to conclude a contract. We accept this offer if we provide you with a place on a course. Please note that our registration is personal and non-transferable. The participant may only take part in the software training course once the contract has been concluded. Only students and doctoral candidates of the University of Münster are eligible to participate, provided they are registered as participants in the registration system after the registration deadline (time of the start of the course). If eligible participants do not appear at the start of the course, they forfeit their entitlement.

3. waiting lists

If a course date is already fully booked, interested parties can put themselves on a waiting list for the date and remove themselves from this list in the “My CIT software training courses” area. As soon as a course place becomes available, it is automatically allocated to the first person on the waiting list. The waiting lists are regularly deleted at the end of a course phase.

4. certificates of attendance

Certificates of attendance are made available for download in the personal area “My CIT software training courses” after the course. A prerequisite for the certificate of attendance in Zoom courses is the attendance of the participant during the entire course as confirmed by the lecturer. For Learnweb courses, the course project must be uploaded and confirmed by the lecturer. Certificates of attendance can be downloaded up to a maximum of 24 months after the course date. Certificates of attendance are only made available digitally.

5 Withdrawal / revocation / forfeiture of the course place

Registration for courses is binding. However, the participant has the option of withdrawing from the contract by canceling online in good time before the start of the course. The cancellation deadline for Zoom courses is 48 hours, for Learnweb courses 72 hours before the start of the course. Anyone who repeatedly fails to attend course dates will be excluded from using the course program for a period of six months. The suspension comes into effect automatically if three courses are missed within 12 months. The current status can be called up at any time in the “My CIT software training courses” area; in addition, an e-mail notification is sent for each missed course.

6 Technical requirements

For online training, participants must provide their own workstation with access to the relevant software and a stable internet connection. Participation in the online course is only possible by providing the full name.

7 Cancellation of course dates

If a training course cannot take place, e.g. due to force majeure, illness or if the minimum number of 7 participants is not reached, the participant will be informed by e-mail. There is no entitlement to a place on another course or a repeat of the course.

8. exclusion of liability

The CIT accepts no liability for damage to property or financial losses incurred by participants in connection with the training courses or their cancellation and for claims between participants.

9. data protection

We know that careful handling of your personal data is important to you. Accordingly, we appreciate the trust you have placed in us to handle your personal data conscientiously. By accepting these GTC by registering for one of our courses or waiting lists, you give us your consent to collect, process and use your personal data for the purpose of course preparation, implementation and evaluation, to check attendance, to transmit information on the training program, to maintain waiting lists and to issue certificates of attendance. This consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. The participant lists are archived for a maximum of 24 months from the date of the course and then automatically deleted. Waiting lists are automatically deleted 12 months after the end of the course. The data will not be passed on to third parties or used for any other purpose than stated here. We use the video conferencing tool Zoom for the online training courses. Information on data protection and the technical requirements can be found in our FAQ on WWUzoom.

10 Validity

These terms and conditions apply to all participants in the CIT training program.
