1BROAD AND RANGE

The European Institute of Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Technology GmbH, also known as eiIET, and the student, or just the student, enrolled in any of its educational programmes are parties to these general terms and conditions for the duration of their educational period.
Educational programmes are those learning resources, events, and/or papers that are made available to the public by eiIET on their website, in other print or digital media, or both.
Should the legal, case law, or economic circumstances change, these general terms and conditions of business may also be modified. In the event that these general terms and conditions are changed, the student will be notified in advance and given access to the updated version. The student then gets a fair amount of opportunity to object to the modifications. The updated general terms and conditions will take effect if the deadline passes without a result.
Unavoidable Emergency: The university/institution may substitute online tutorials, live webinars, interactive exercises, online seminars, and similar digital offerings for in-person lectures in the event of an emergency situation that prevents lectures from taking place or in the event that a lecturer becomes ill. It may also make digital textbooks and study materials (such as PDF files) available. In such cases, these actions will be regarded as an equivalent fulfilment of services under the terms of this contract.
