Terms of service
1. Scope and provider
These terms apply to all contracts for a CertPath online course concluded via
this website and the course area at certification-course.com between
Reschstr. 2a
81825 München
Germany
("we", "us", the provider) and you as a consumer. Our courses are offered internationally; mandatory consumer protection law of your country of residence is unaffected by these terms (see section 15).
Where you purchase in the course of a business or professional activity, the provisions protecting consumers — in particular the right of withdrawal (section 8) — do not apply.
2. What you are buying
The subject of the contract is access to a digital practice and exam preparation course: practice questions, exam simulations and evaluations of your results.
The course is a self-study offering. The certification exam itself is not part of this contract — you sit it with the certification vendor or its test centre, under their rules and at their cost. We do not owe you a particular exam result, and passing is not promised.
3. Free access
A limited selection of practice questions is available free of charge and can be tried without an account. Free access is not time-limited, but it establishes no claim to a particular scope; we may adjust the free scope with effect for the future.
4. Price and payment
Access to the full course is a one-time purchase — no subscription, no recurring charges and no automatic renewal.
The price applicable to a course is shown before you order, in your local currency where we support it. The total amount charged is shown in the checkout before you confirm the order. Payment is handled by our payment service provider Stripe using the payment methods offered there. An invoice is provided electronically by Stripe.
5. How the contract is formed
The presentation of a course on this website is not a binding offer. By completing the order in the checkout you make a binding offer; the contract is concluded when your payment is confirmed and your access is unlocked.
You do not need an account before buying. Your personal account is created as part of the purchase, using the email address you provide during checkout, and your access is unlocked for it.
We store your order data. The version of these terms applicable to your purchase is available on this website at any time; your invoice is sent to you by email from Stripe.
6. Duration of access
Once unlocked, your access to the full course is permanent. It is not time-limited, it does not renew, it does not need to be cancelled, and no follow-up costs arise. For the limit of "permanent", see section 12.
Free access (section 3) exists independently of this; a purchased full access is not restricted by it.
7. Vouchers
Voucher codes we issue (percentage or fixed amount) can be redeemed in the checkout. The stated validity period and redemption limit apply; payment in cash is excluded. Not more than one voucher can be redeemed per order.
8. Right of withdrawal
As a consumer you have a statutory right of withdrawal: you may withdraw from the contract within fourteen days of its conclusion without giving reasons. Details and the model withdrawal form are set out in our withdrawal policy. A withdrawal function ("Withdraw your purchase") is also available on our website. How refunds are handled in practice is described in our refund policy.
9. Rights of use — and our question bank
You receive a simple, non-transferable right to use the course content for the duration of your access and exclusively for your own learning purposes. Passing on access credentials, and reproducing or making the content publicly available, are not permitted.
The question bank is the product you bought, and it is protected by copyright. You may not extract, scrape, copy, publish, share, sell or otherwise pass on the questions, answers or explanations, in whole or in part, whether manually or by automated means.
This is not only a matter of our rights: publishing or circulating real certification exam items ("brain dumps") violates the certification vendors' agreements and can cost a candidate their certification. Our questions are written by us for practice — they are not real exam items, and they must not be turned into a dump.
10. AI assistant
The course includes an AI assistant. Its answers are generated automatically and can be wrong or incomplete. The assistant does not provide legal advice and gives no binding information about the content, scoring or conduct of a certification exam. Anything that matters should be verified against the certification vendor's official exam guide.
To produce an answer, what you type is sent to our AI provider (see our privacy policy).
11. Independence from certification vendors
CertPath is independent. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or otherwise associated with the organisations whose certification exams our courses prepare for. Their names and exam codes are used solely to identify the exam a course prepares for. All trademarks belong to their respective owners.
12. Availability and further development
We make reasonable efforts to keep the course area highly available. Short interruptions (for example maintenance or updates) are possible and give rise to no claims, provided overall usability is not substantially impaired. Course content is maintained on an ongoing basis and may be updated or restructured to a reasonable extent.
Permanent access (section 6) exists as long as the course is operated. Should we permanently discontinue operation, we will inform buyers in advance with reasonable notice; there is no claim to operation for an unlimited time.
13. Liability
We are liable without limitation in cases of intent and gross negligence, and for injury to life, body or health. In cases of slight negligence we are liable only for breach of a material contractual obligation (a cardinal obligation), limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. Liability under the German Product Liability Act remains unaffected.
Course content is prepared with care. We give no warranty that it is current and complete with regard to the individual requirements of a particular certification vendor.
14. Deleting your account
You can ask us to delete your account at any time — write to
support@certification-course.com. With the deletion your course access lapses;
fees already paid are not refunded. Statutory retention duties, in particular for
invoice data, remain unaffected. Your rights under data protection law are
described in our privacy policy.
15. Final provisions
German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. For consumers, this choice of law applies only insofar as it does not deprive them of the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of their country of habitual residence.
Should individual provisions be invalid, the remainder of the contract remains effective.
