1.  Scope

1.1  These General Terms and Conditions for Classroom Courses (hereinafter "GTC") apply to all contracts between TUDIAS – TU Dresden Institute of Advanced Studies GmbH, Freiberger Str. 37, 01067 Dresden (hereinafter "TUDIAS") and natural persons (hereinafter "participants") for booking and participating in TUDIAS classroom courses. Conflicting or deviating terms and conditions will only become part of the contract if TUDIAS expressly agrees to them in writing.

1.2  The same terms and conditions apply to online courses, with certain special features required for online formats.

1.3 The facility rules of the respective classroom location are included as part of the contract.

1.4  Classroom courses which are excluded include those offered as part of the TU Dresden language training, the MINT College, and the student mentoring program .

2.  Registration and conclusion of contract

2.1  Course announcements do not constitute an offer to conclude a contract. A contract is concluded upon registration of the participants and confirmation of the registration by TUDIAS in accordance with Section 3 .

2.2  Registration is required in writing, by email, or online, providing the information requested in the course description. Participants under the age of 18 must also provide consent from a parent or legal guardian to register.

2.3  TUDIAS will confirm the participants' registration in the form of a written confirmation, a confirmation email, or a corresponding invoice.

2.4  If an entrance or placement test is required for registration for a classroom course, the result of this test will be decisive, in addition to the necessary information about the participant’s admission to the course according to paragraph 2 . The test result will be communicated to the participant via email within 14 days. Failure to pass the test will not result in admission to the intended course. However, participants have the option of retaking the test after the end of a semester or taking a course at a lower level instead.

3.  Scope of services

3.1 TUDIAS provides the services specified in the course description. This includes, in particular, the instruction, the provision of teaching materials, and a certificate of participation and, where applicable, a certificate of completion.

3.2  The in-person course will not be held on public holidays, which are dependent on the course location; these dates are already included in the course schedule and will not be rescheduled.

3.3  TUDIAS retains the right to make changes to the instructors, teaching methods, or procedures that do not significantly alter the overall character of the course.

3.4 TUDIAS offers participants the opportunity to interact with large language models (LLMs) integrated, using generative artificial intelligence (AI) and a so-called AI-based chatbot (AI tutor). Within the classroom courses, individual modules can be delivered entirely or partially online; the AI tutor is also available in these online modules. Participants may receive output generated by the LLM and AI as results of their work.

3.5  The AI tutor supports participants by calculating plausible answers or assistance with questions posed based on training data and learned patterns. These answers are based on statistical probabilities and are not the result of a review by teaching staff. A comprehensive review for accuracy, completeness, or freedom from errors is not performed. The parties therefore agree that the AI tutor's output does not represent a binding, error-free, or guaranteed correct result, but rather provides supportive, automated assistance throughout the course.

4.  Duties of the participants

4.1  Participants must comply with the course rules, treat the facilities with care, and not disrupt the class.

4.2  Audio, photographic or film recordings during classes are prohibited and are only permitted in exceptional cases with the prior written consent of TUDIAS.

4.4  Participants are responsible for bringing the necessary learning materials (e.g. textbooks, writing utensils, electronic devices).

4.5 Participants may not make any discriminatory statements or actions towards persons, particularly on the basis of personal characteristics (age, gender, skin color, ethnicity or religion, etc.).

4.6 Participants may not misuse the classroom courses for political or ideological purposes, for any kind of agitation, or for their own advertising purposes.

4.7  Participants are obliged to comply with the applicable facility rules.

4.8  Participants are obliged to comply with the measures established by TUDIAS in accordance with Section 13 .

4.9  Cultural differences must be respected in classroom courses. Any form of discrimination or disrespectful behavior is prohibited.

4.10 Participants are to treat all content and information obtained during the course, particularly those from discussions in groups or personal contributions from other participants , confidentially and not to pass them on to third parties.

5.  Fees and payment terms

5.1  The course fee is based on the price list valid at the time of registration and includes – where applicable – the applicable statutory value-added tax.

5.2 The obligation to pay the course fee is not linked to the actual participation of the participants in the classroom course and exists independently of this.

5.3 The course fee is due without deduction by the due date indicated on the invoice, using one of the payment methods communicated to the participant upon registration. TUDIAS reserves the right to offer additional payment methods when issuing the invoice.

5.4  If the course fee exceeds EUR 500.00, the parties may agree to pay in installments. The terms of the installment payment will be stipulated in a separate agreement between the parties.

5.5  If the course fee is in arrears, TUDIAS is entitled, in addition to asserting statutory consequences of default, to refuse participation in the classroom course until full payment has been made.

6.  Set-off and assignment

6.1  Participants are only entitled to offsetting with the existence of undisputed or legally established claims.

6.2 The assignment of claims against TUDIAS is excluded without its prior consent; Section 354a of the German Commercial Code (HGB) remains unaffected.

7.1  A one-time rebooking to an alternative course date or cancellation of registration is possible up to 7 calendar days at the latest before the original course start date.

7.2  Rebookings and cancellations must be made in writing. The receipt of the notification by TUDIAS is decisive for compliance with the deadline.

7.3 If participants withdraw after the deadline set out in section 7.1, the following cancellation fees apply:

20% of the course fee for cancellation within 7 days before the original course start date;

30 % of the course fee if you withdraw after the course has started;

100 % of the course fee if withdrawal occurs after the first half of the course.

7.4 Rebooking after the deadline specified in Section 7.1 is only possible with TUDIAS's consent. There is no entitlement to rebooking .

7.5  Participants who require a visa to enter Germany may withdraw from the contract if their visa application is ultimately rejected up to three days before the start of the course. TUDIAS must receive written notification of the rejection. In this case, any fees already paid will be refunded, less the registration or enrollment fee. Withdrawal is not permitted if the course was clearly booked solely for the purpose of applying for a visa, and the course registration itself is a prerequisite for the issuance of the visa.

7.6  In the event of cancellation during the International Dresden Spring and Summer Courses, the course fee – less the registration fee of €100.00 plus any applicable bank charges – will be refunded to the participant's account. Cancellation after the course has begun is not possible.

8.  Course cancellation, postponement

8.1  TUDIAS may cancel the classroom course if the number of participants is too low or due to force majeure; notification will be given immediately, at the latest two weeks before the start of the course, unless the reason arises at short notice.

8.2 In case of cancellation, TUDIAS will refund any course fees already paid or, upon request, issue a credit note.

8.4  If individual lessons are cancelled for reasons beyond TUDIAS's control, they will be rescheduled at a later date. If rescheduling is unreasonable or not feasible, a pro rata credit of the course fee will be issued.

9.  Termination by TUDIAS

9.1 TUDIAS is entitled to terminate the contract for a classroom course with the participants for good cause in accordance with Section 314 of the German Civil Code (BGB). Good cause exists in particular if, taking into account all circumstances of the individual case and balancing the interests of both parties, TUDIAS cannot reasonably be expected to continue the contractual relationship until the end of the regular term.

Such a reason exists in particular in the following cases:

- The participants violate their obligations under this contract, in particular the obligations under clause 4 .

10.1 Certificates of participation will be issued upon request if participants have attended at least 80% of the scheduled and actually completed class time for a classroom course. Data (digital and physical) regarding participation will be retained for two years after the end of the course, so a certificate of participation can be requested free of charge within this timeframe. After the two-year period, the relevant data will be deleted or destroyed.

In this case, TUDIAS's right to compensation remains unaffected; Section 314 of the German Civil Code (BGB) remains unaffected.

13.  Health and infection protection

TUDIAS may order appropriate health and infection control measures (e.g., mandatory mask wearing, proof of testing/vaccination or 3G (vaccinated or recovered from COVID-19), room ventilation, hygiene concepts, temporary course interruption or rescheduling).
