On-demand trainings (“On-Demand Trainings”) are a collection of trainings and courses that are always available online by accessing the Academy Platform and that have been curated to provide an efficient way for Students to quickly acquire basic knowledge on Camunda products.

On-demand trainings are free of charge.

Instructor-Led Trainings and Instructor Sessions are paid Trainings. Notwithstanding this, Camunda reserves the right to provide certain Instructor-Led Trainings and/or Instructor Sessions for free, for specific Student categories.

4. Registration to the Academy Platform

Registration takes place online at https://academy.camunda.com, unless you are a Camunda partner, in which case registration will be through https://partner-academy.camunda.com. Access to the Academy Platform will be provided by Camunda at its sole discretion. Any access codes and passwords are restricted to you and your End Users only and Camunda reserves the right to revoke your access at any time. By registering, you agree to provide truthful and accurate information and to be solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any username and password that you choose or is chosen by your web administrator on your behalf, to access the Academy Platform and consume the Trainings, as well as any activity that occurs under your account on the Academy Platform.

5. Registration for Trainings

Registrations for Trainings through the Academy Platform are binding and will be confirmed by Camunda (either within the Academy Platform or via email) once you have successfully paid for the chosen paid Training or, in the case of a free Training, within a reasonable time from receipt of your registration for such free Training (the “Registration Confirmation”). Upon receipt of the Registration Confirmation, the contract for participation in the Training between Camunda and Student (“Training Contract”) is deemed concluded. In case of Instructor-Led Trainings or Instructor Sessions that impose a limit in the maximum number of participants, registrations will be considered in the order of receipt up to such limit In this latter case, we will inform you promptly on the date and time of the available slot for the Instructor-Led Training or Instructor Session for which you have registered.

6. Fees and Payment

The fees to be invoiced to you for the paid Trainings can be paid using the following methods:

(a) online payment, by using your credit or debit card; or

(b) bank transfer. You will need to request our bank details for the purpose of paying the fees this way. Please ensure you retain a transaction reference number in case there are any problems with your payment.

The detailed payment terms of the fees for the paid Trainings are set forth on the Academy Platform.

Furthermore, if you are a Camunda customer or Camunda partner, we may, in agreement with you, issue an Order Form and you will pay the fees for the paid Training based on such document. If you are issuing a purchase order or similar document in connection with the purchase of a paid Training, you agree that you will do so for your own internal, administrative purposes and not with the intent to provide any contractual terms. You acknowledge and agree that we will not be contractually bound by the contents of any such purchase order or similar document, which are hereby deemed rejected and extraneous to this Agreement, and Camunda’s provision of the Trainings shall not amount to: (i) an acceptance by conduct of any terms set out or referred to in the purchase order or similar document; (ii) an amendment of this Agreement, nor (iii) an agreement to amend this Agreement.

All fees for paid Trainings are exclusive of any taxes, fees, and duties or other amounts, however designated, and including without limitation value added tax, sales tax and, if applicable, withholding taxes that are levied or based upon such charges, or upon this Agreement.

Camunda reserves the right to change the fees applicable for the paid Trainings. Any changes to such fees will not apply to you with respect to any Trainings which you have fully paid and for which you have received a Registration Confirmation. Any such changes will become effective for any future Trainings for which you contemplate to register, subject to a prior written notice by Camunda sent via email or made available on the Academy Platform.

If you are a Camunda customer or Camunda partner, the payment terms laid down in your underlying agreement with us will take precedence over the preceding paragraphs in case of any conflict, unless otherwise agreed between us.

7. Attendance confirmation and certificates

Upon successful completion of any Trainings, you will receive a certificate of completion which will be available for download in your account on the Academy Platform.

8. Cancellation of Instructor-Led Trainings and Instructor Sessions

In case of on-site training sessions, Camunda reserves the right to cancel Instructor-Led Trainings or Instructor Sessions with less than 4 participants or reschedule the dates of such trainings, if necessary, with at least 21 calendar days’ notice before the date of any such cancelled or rescheduled training. Should Camunda cancel an Instructor-Led Training or Instructor Session for such a reason, full refunds will be issued to you in accordance with Section 9 (Refunds) below.

Camunda reserves the right to cancel or reschedule the date of Instructor-Led Trainings or Instructor Sessions, for any reason, with at least 7 calendar days’ notice (in case of remote trainings) or with at least 21 calendar days’ notice (in case of on-site trainings) before the date of any such cancelled or rescheduled training. In case of cancellations, full refunds will be issued to you in accordance with Section 9 (Refunds) below.

If an Instructor-Led Training or Instructor Session is cancelled due to force majeure, illness of the instructor or other circumstances for which Camunda is not responsible, Camunda’s sole liability will be to offer the Student an alternative date for such training. If no agreement is reached on an alternative date, the Student is free to withdraw its registration for the cancelled training by providing prompt written notice to Camunda, and if the training fee has already been paid, Camunda will refund it in accordance with Section 9 (Refunds).

In case of a rescheduling of an Instructor-Led Training or an Instructor Session, Camunda is only liable for intent and gross negligence. This limitation of liability does not apply in case of damage of life, body and health.

c.4) Section 16 (Limitation of Liability) of this Agreement is replaced in its entirety with the following section:

Camunda will be liable without limitation for all losses caused by Camunda and by its legal representatives or vicarious agents in cases of intent or gross negligence, the absence of a guaranteed quality (“garantierte Beschaffenheit“) and for mortal injury, bodily harm and damage to health, as well as in accordance with the provisions of the Product Liability Act (“ProdHftG”). In cases involving a simple negligent breach (“leichte Fahrlässigkeit”) of primary obligations (“Kardinalpflicht”), Camunda’s liability will be limited to replacement of the foreseeable damage typically occurring. Primary obligations are such basic duties which form the essence of the Agreement, which were decisive for the conclusion of the Agreement and on the performance of which the Parties may rely. Other than this, Camunda’s liability for simple negligent breaches (“leichte Fahrlässigkeit”) of accessory contractual obligations is excluded. Further liability – for whatever legal reason – on the part of Camunda and Camunda’s vicarious agents is excluded. A strict liability of Camunda for defects due to pre-existing deficiencies in the Academy Platform is excluded.

If the Student´s losses result from a loss of data, Camunda will only be liable for this to the extent that the damage would have resulted even if the Student had made a backup of all the relevant data.

c.5) The second sentence of the second paragraph of Section 21 (Term and Termination) of this Agreement is replaced with the following:

Notwithstanding the above, Camunda may terminate this Agreement for non-payment by Student of any fees due, unless the Student pays such fees in full within sixty (60) days after receipt of Camunda’s written notice of non-payment.

c.6) Notwithstanding Section 24 (Governing Law and Venue), the place of jurisdiction shall only be agreed with merchants according to the German Commercial Code (“Handelsgesetzbuch”), special funds under public law and legal entities under public law.
