• the operating system used for browser type and browser version
• the referrer URL
• the host name of the accessing computer
• the time of the server request

These data cannot be assigned to specific persons. These data are not combined with other data sources. We reserve the right to check these data subsequently if we become aware of concrete indications of an illegal use.

• is necessary for the processing of our contractually guaranteed services
• is necessary to enforce our demands

5. Performance of AGGE

Depending on the respective e-learning offer, AGGE grants the participant access to the necessary content via the Internet and/or provides services. The respective services owed by AGGE shall be regulated in the concluded contract.

The statutory provisions shall apply to termination without notice for good cause.

AGGE is entitled to deactivate the participant's access to the content or to terminate the contract prematurely for important reasons if adherence to the contract is unacceptable. This is particularly the case if the participant

Cancellations must be made in writing.

This shall also apply if the participant does not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or if the participant moves its registered office or usual place of residence out of the area of application of the Code of Civil Procedure after conclusion of the contract or if its registered office or usual place of residence is unknown at the time the action is filed.

German law applies exclusively to the contract and any use of the content.

14. Partial Invalidity/Severability Clause

Should individual provisions of the contract, including the GTC, be or become legally invalid, this then shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. The same applies to gaps in the contract. In place of the ineffective or missing terms a regulation is to apply, which corresponds economically best with the will of the parties.

The aforementioned GTC are valid for all seminars and educational offers of AGGE and DIFAEM insofar as they concern use of the internet platform https://health-learnbox.org and must be observed by every course provider using this platform.
