A user account in teachr can be assigned to only one payment account. A user may be enrolled in or own multiple virtual campuses. A virtual campus refers to a learning environment that includes courses, users, participants, and collaborators, as well as learning content, data, and statistics. With this connection of a so-called linked Stripe account, teachr enables the storage of payment data of the service provider Stripe and the sending of funds through a payment and order form provided by Stripe and a payment account with Stripe. When the purchase contract is concluded, this payment account is created at Stripe and uniquely linked to the teachr user.

We are responsible for selecting the payment methods available in each case. In particular, we reserve the right to offer you only selected payment methods for payment.

The purchase of online courses is only possible with an instant payment method from Stripe. If you fall into arrears with a payment, you shall be obliged to pay the statutory interest on arrears at a rate of 5 percentage points above the prime rate.

The delivery of the purchased online courses is done by providing access to it. Access is enabled immediately after the order and payment validation. The access can then be used by you for viewing the online courses.

It is your responsibility to have a suitable computer, browser, tablet computer, or smartphone ready to properly use the online courses. It can be written out of online courses. In this case, teachr retains the payment and purchase data according to the minimum legal requirements in countries, but at least 5 years through the service provider Stripe, to keep payments and uses of the online courses.

These free gifts and rewards in a course are optional and not part of the actual course, but limited physical rewards. The entitlement to free gifts expires one year after enrollment in the course.

The Campus Owner as seller of the online courses is obliged to keep his courses up to date and to constantly check them for function and correctness and to find new course elements or alternatives for the presentation of his course content if elements are no longer available.

In this case, components of the online course or the entire online course may be deleted without notice. It is at teachr’s sole discretion to initiate a refund of the purchase price for the use or continued use of the online course. In particular, this is not possible if it is not possible to enforce a refund claim to the course author, campus owner as provider of the courses via the payment provider Stripe. In this case, the purchaser of the courses must inform the responsible course author in time and in adequate lead time about the shortcoming.

These documents can be:

State identity card, passport

The last four digits of the deposited credit card
