Terms of Use

1. OPERATOR AND SCOPE

1.1The website at greentech.training (“Website”) is operated by Jerome Goerke, trading as greentech.training (“Operator”). The Operator’s business address and contact details are published in the Website’s Legal Notice.

1.2These Terms concern access to the public Website, its informational content and its general enquiry functions. A “Visitor” means an individual accessing the Website, whether personally or on behalf of an organisation.

1.3Particular services are governed by their respective agreements:

1.3(a)Course enrolment and participation are governed by the Learner Terms and Conditions;

1.3(b)Company services, including recruitment access and Company training arrangements, are governed by the Company Terms and Conditions; and

1.3(c)Expert contributions and Expert Digital Twins are governed by the Expert Terms and Conditions and the applicable Commercial Terms.

1.4These Website Terms do not replace or amend those agreements. Where an activity is governed by a specific agreement, that agreement prevails in relation to that activity.

1.5Where these Terms are intended to form part of a contract, they shall be made available before acceptance and incorporated through the relevant process. Merely viewing the Website does not create a paid contract or enrol a Visitor in a Course.

2. WEBSITE INFORMATION

2.1The Website provides information about Courses, Experts, training programmes, recruitment services, projects and related activities. The scope, price, duration and availability of a particular service are specified in the relevant offer and agreement.

2.2Descriptions of proposed features, pilot projects or services under development do not establish that those features are currently available. A feature forms part of a purchased service only where included in the agreed description.

2.3Public articles, previews and other general informational materials are not individual professional advice. Technical examples do not replace the qualifications, site-specific assessment or professional supervision required for the activity concerned.

2.4The Operator may correct or update public information. Such changes do not retrospectively alter an existing booking, agreed service description or contractual entitlement.

3. PERMITTED ACCESS AND USE

3.1Visitors may browse the Website and use its public functions for lawful personal or business purposes consistent with their stated purpose.

3.2Visitors must not:

3.2(a)obtain or attempt to obtain unauthorised access to accounts, restricted information, servers or other systems;

3.2(b)circumvent authentication, access controls or technical restrictions;

3.2(c)introduce malicious software, submit harmful code or deliberately interfere with the Website’s operation;

3.2(d)impersonate another person or falsely represent an affiliation, qualification or authority;

3.2(e)use enquiry functions to send unlawful, threatening, discriminatory or unsolicited promotional material; or

3.2(f)collect personal information from the Website for unlawful marketing, harassment or other unrelated purposes.

3.3Automated access must not circumvent restrictions, access non-public information or impose a disproportionate load on the Website. Systematic extraction or republication of protected content requires permission unless permitted by applicable law.

3.4Suspected security vulnerabilities should be reported through the contact details in the Legal Notice. These Terms do not authorise intrusive testing, exploitation of vulnerabilities or access to another person’s information.

4. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

4.1Website text, graphics, videos, photographs, software, branding and other materials may be protected by copyright, trade marks and other rights belonging to the Operator or third-party rights holders.

4.2Unless a particular item carries different licence terms, Visitors may view public materials and retain reasonable extracts for personal reference or internal business evaluation, provided that attribution and rights notices remain intact.

4.3Reproduction for resale, public redistribution, adaptation or incorporation into another commercial product requires permission from the relevant rights holder unless permitted by applicable law.

4.4Access to a public preview does not grant access to the complete Course or a licence to reproduce its learning materials. Rights relating to purchased Courses and Expert Materials are governed by the applicable specific agreement.

4.5Links to publicly accessible Website pages are permitted where they do not misleadingly imply endorsement, partnership or ownership. Use of the Operator’s logo or branding requires permission unless otherwise permitted by law.

4.6Nothing in this Section restricts statutory rights to quote, use accessible formats or undertake other legally permitted activities.

5. ENQUIRIES AND SUBMITTED MATERIALS

5.1Information submitted through Website forms must be accurate to the extent reasonably necessary to handle the enquiry. A person submitting an enquiry on behalf of an organisation must accurately describe that capacity.

5.2Visitors should submit only information relevant to the enquiry and must have authority to disclose any third-party materials or personal information included.

5.3Submission of an enquiry does not itself create a Course booking, consultancy engagement, employment relationship or obligation to provide a requested service.

5.4Materials submitted for an enquiry may be used to receive, assess and respond to that enquiry. Submission does not transfer ownership or grant permission for unrelated publication, marketing or AI model training.

5.5Applications, orders and other submissions governed by a separate procedure remain subject to the information and terms presented for that procedure.

6. EXTERNAL LINKS AND THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

6.1The Website may link to third-party websites, professional profiles, resources and services. A link does not, by itself, constitute an endorsement or guarantee of the third party’s information or services.

6.2Third parties are responsible for the content and operation of their own websites. Their applicable terms and privacy information should be consulted when their services are accessed.

6.3This Section does not exclude any responsibility imposed on the Operator by law or any responsibility for providers engaged to fulfil the Operator’s own contractual obligations.

7. PRIVACY AND COOKIES

7.1The Privacy Policy explains the processing of personal data associated with the Website and the services described in that policy.

7.2The Cookie Policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on the Website. Available choices can be reviewed through the persistent Cookie Settings function.

7.3Acceptance of these Terms does not constitute consent to optional analytics, marketing communications, Candidate Pool participation or another activity requiring separate consent.

8. AVAILABILITY AND ACCESS RESTRICTIONS

8.1Public Website access may be interrupted by maintenance, updates, security measures or technical faults. No uninterrupted availability commitment is made for the public Website unless expressly agreed.

8.2The Operator may modify or discontinue public informational features, subject to existing contractual obligations.

8.3Where there are reasonable grounds to suspect unlawful use, a security threat or a material breach of these Terms, the Operator may take proportionate measures to protect the Website, including restricting the affected access.

8.4Where practicable and appropriate, the affected person shall be informed of the reason for a restriction and given an opportunity to resolve the issue. Immediate measures may be taken where necessary to address an urgent threat.

8.5Restrictions affecting a purchased service or registered account remain subject to the applicable service agreement and mandatory law. This Section does not create an unrestricted right to terminate paid access.

9. LIABILITY

9.1The Operator remains liable without limitation for intent, gross negligence, culpable injury to life, body or health, fraudulent concealment, expressly assumed guarantees and liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

9.2For ordinary negligence, the Operator is liable for breach of an essential contractual obligation. An essential obligation is one necessary for proper performance of the contract and on whose fulfilment the other party may ordinarily rely. In such cases, liability is limited to the foreseeable loss typical of the contract.

9.3Subject to Clause 9.1, liability for ordinary negligence in other cases is excluded to the extent permitted by law.

9.4These limitations apply correspondingly to the Operator’s representatives and persons engaged to perform its obligations.

9.5Liability relating to Courses, Company services or Expert Engagements is governed by the applicable specific agreement. These Website Terms do not reduce mandatory consumer rights, data-protection rights or rights arising from an agreed service description.

10. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

10.1The Operator may publish revised Website Terms, identifying their version and publication date.

10.2Revised contractual terms apply to new agreements in which they are validly incorporated. Existing agreements remain governed by the version accepted when they were formed unless a change is expressly agreed or otherwise lawfully made under that agreement.

10.3Continued browsing or silence shall not be treated as acceptance of an amendment to an existing contract.

11. GOVERNING LAW AND CONTACT

11.1Where these Terms form part of a contract, German law applies. For consumers, this choice does not remove mandatory protection available under the law that would apply in the absence of that choice.

11.2Court jurisdiction is determined by applicable law. These Terms do not impose an exclusive Berlin jurisdiction on consumers.

11.3Website enquiries, reports of unlawful content and notices concerning these Terms may be submitted through the contact details in the Legal Notice. Personal-data requests may be sent to data@greentech.training.

11.4If a contractual provision is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply insofar as permitted by law. The applicable statutory provisions govern the resulting gap.
