§2 Evening school
Aftenskolen is a Norwegian foundation with organization number 927 408 236. We have offices in Kongensgate 29, 4610 Kristiansand and Strandkaien 28, 4005 Stavanger.
§3 Purchase and registration
The service can be purchased by anyone. To participate in Aftenskolens Courses, the Customer must be pre-registered. All registrations are binding. The Customer is considered to have registered when Aftenskolen has sent written confirmation that registration has been received. Such confirmation can be sent by letter, e-mail, SMS, electronic message or similar.
When purchasing Online Courses, the Customer receives a limited, non-exclusive and revocable right to access the relevant Online Course(s) purchased. The access cannot be licensed to others. Unless otherwise described in the product description, access to the individual Online Course is personal. Access rights may therefore not be transferred or used by a third party.
§Section 4 Right of withdrawal and deregistration
The customer can cancel/change the registration without further justification up to 7 (seven) days before the start of the course. Any course fees paid will be refunded according to the following model:
Cancellation 14 days before course start: 100% refund
Cancellation 8-13 days before course start: 50% refund
Cancellation 7 days before course start: no refund
If the Customer cancels/changes the registration after this deadline, the course fee must be paid in full.
If the cancellation is due to illness, death in the immediate family or other unforeseeable event (force majeure) that makes it impossible to start or complete the course and the reason for the cancellation is documented by a medical certificate or other relevant documentation, part of the course fee will be refunded even if the cancellation occurs within 5 working days before the start of the course. In such cases, the course fee will be calculated according to how many course evenings the Customer has attended, but with a lower refund limit of 25% of the course fee.
In order to exercise the right of withdrawal, the Customer must notify Aftenskolen's administration in writing. The message must clearly state that the Customer is exercising the right of withdrawal. Notification to the teacher or non-attendance is not a valid notification of withdrawal. In such cases, the course fee must be paid in full.
For Online Courses, a 14-day right of withdrawal applies unless the relevant Online Course has begun. If the Online Course has begun, there is no right of withdrawal.
§5 Payment
Course fees must be paid before the start of the course unless otherwise agreed. If payment is made after the due date, a reminder fee will be added. Unless otherwise stated in the course description, expenses for books, materials and any exam fee/semester fee will be added to the course fee.
§Section 6 Purchase of subscription
When the Customer takes out a subscription with Aftenskolen, the Customer will be able to access the Online Course(s) covered by the relevant subscription. The subscriptions vary in price and content. Subscriptions are paid monthly and in advance using the payment options available at any time via the Website. There is no refund or credit on commenced monthly subscription periods. The subscription runs until the Customer terminates it. Termination must take place no later than the day before a new billing period commences. If the subscription is not canceled by that time, the Customer will be charged the monthly fee for the next billing period.
Aftenskolen has the right to change the price of the subscription by notifying the Customer within a reasonable time. Notified price changes will take effect for the following subscription period. By continuing to use the Service after the price change takes effect, the Customer accepts the new price.
§Section 7 Implementation
Aftenskolen has the right to make changes to the Courses, including course arrangements, curricula, teaching staff, tuition fees, teaching times and more; provided that the changes do not entail a significant inconvenience for the Customer, or that the changes entail a significant change to the original Course. The Customer will be notified of the changes within a reasonable time.
For Online Courses, Aftenskolen may upgrade, modify, change or improve the various Online Courses, as long as it does not cause significant inconvenience to the Customer's use of the courses.
Aftenskolen has the right to cancel courses and educations that do not have a sufficient number of enrollees, or which, due to other unforeseen circumstances, make the implementation of the course difficult. In such cases, the Customer shall be notified that the course is canceled. Course fees paid will be refunded in full.
As a general rule, Courses in the Evening School follow the schools' holidays and days off unless otherwise stated.
After completing the course, the Customer can request a course certificate from Aftenskolen. This only applies if the Customer has attended at least 75% of the course sessions.
