Teaching unit
The duration of the courses is given in teaching units (UE). 1UE = 45 minutes.
Number of participants
The maximum number of participants in the online courses is 15.
Changes in the course programme
Changes in the programme are possible due to organisational reasons. The realisation of a course depends on a minimum number of participants. Should the number of participants fall below this minimum, Campus Deutsch reserves the right to hold courses in a shortened form. Campus Deutsch also reserves the right to change course days, starting times, dates, teachers and possible cancellations. Compensation for any expenses incurred and other claims against Campus Deutsch cannot be derived from this. The same applies to changes of dates or timetables that become necessary at short notice. If a course has to be cancelled, any amounts already paid will be refunded. The information on this website has been written in good faith, but Campus Deutsch accepts no responsibility for any typographical errors.
Confirmations of participation and certificates
In order to receive a confirmation of participation or a certificate, you must have at least 75% attendance during the entire course. The positive certificate provides information about the level of the course according to the "Common European Framework of Reference for Languages".
Teaching modalities
Our courses are conducted as online courses. Campus Deutsch reserves the right to switch from online to face-to-face teaching if necessary. The procurement of the necessary technical equipment is the responsibility of the client. Campus Deutsch provides a suitable video conferencing application as well as a learning platform for the duration of the language course.
Falsification of documents
Any attempt to falsify documents (certificates, confirmation of participation) will be reported to the police and will in any case result in exclusion from the course. In the case of attempted fraud during the final examinations, the right to a certificate is forfeited. The participant may also be excluded from the course.

No liability is accepted for the learning materials provided (digital course materials, Deutschfuchs platform) and own equipment such as PCs, laptops, cameras, etc. Campus Deutsch provides the infrastructure for the course.

§15 Terms of Use regarding the “Deutschfuchs” learning platform
Description of the services
The Deutschfuchs access is a digital subscription which Campus Deutsch has purchased for the purpose of teaching and which is made available to Campus Deutsch customers free of charge. It provides access to various Deutschfuchs materials during the course time with the possibility to use and download documents and tables from the material database or to use applications and games. The content is regularly supplemented and also expanded with current and occasion-related materials.
These services are free of charge for Campus Deutsch participants.
Clientele
The Deutschfuchs offer is aimed exclusively at freelance or commercially active language teachers, companies, educational institutions (schools) and their sponsors as well as (state) organisations.
Cancellation
The offer is not directed at consumers. By placing an order, you confirm that you are acting as an entrepreneur and that you waive your right of withdrawal. For the participants of Campus Deutsch this means that the platform is freely accessible.
Use
(1)
The Deutschfuchs access can be used on any number of devices (also simultaneously).
(2)
Each access (combination of user name and password) may be used by a maximum of one person whose name is linked to the access.
Sharing of content
(1)
A student account entitles one person to access the Deutschfuchs service. The owner of the account (= the teacher) determines individually for which content the student has access rights. A student account may not be used by anyone other than the student. Pupil accounts can be deleted and newly created on a daily basis.
(2)
Student accounts may only be created for persons who have a direct teaching relationship with the teacher. This is characterised by the fact that the teacher uses his or her personal expertise or training to convey the teaching content and is in personal contact with the student (also electronically or by telephone). This is regularly only guaranteed if the teacher completes 10 or more teaching hours per year with this student. The establishment of pupil access exclusively against payment and without teaching activity is not permitted.
(3)
The student may use the materials assigned to him/her exclusively for his/her own private continuing education purposes. Business or commercial use as well as further distribution, duplication and public performance are not permitted.
(4)
Instead of the pupil accesses mentioned in paragraph (1), through which access to the material can be granted electronically, the written contents (PDF files) of the Deutschfuchs database may also be reproduced for the maximum number of pupils (S) by classical means (printout, copy or dispatch). A combination of classic duplication and release via pupil access is also possible, provided the maximum quantity (S) is not exceeded.
(5)
Pupils with whom there is no longer a teaching relationship must be deleted promptly. These accesses can then be used immediately for new pupils.
(6)
Any other distribution, combination, merging or sale of the content is not permitted.
(7)
Uploading or making available the Deutschfuchs content in file form, including excerpts, without effective protection mechanisms against unauthorised access (e.g. in forums, public storage, social media) is not permitted. Embedding in pure self-learning courses is not permitted without separate approval.
(8)
Each document created contains visible and invisible watermarks that clearly assign a document to an access (ID-coded) and the time of creation.
Editing of content
The contents and materials of Deutschfuchs may not be edited or rearranged. In particular, the Deutschfuchs logo and the copyright line at the end of a document may not be removed.
Availability of services
The online services of Deutschfuchs have an availability of at least 99% on an annual average. Maintenance work may be carried out and we will inform you of this either by e-mail or by an insertion after login.
Liability
The content and materials of Deutschfuchs are based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages and have been prepared to the best of our knowledge and belief. Nevertheless, we cannot accept any liability for the accuracy, completeness and freedom from errors of the content. In particular, knowledge of all the contents of a level does not guarantee success in an examination. All persons, places and situations mentioned are fictitious. Any similarities to real persons are purely coincidental.
§16 Final provisions
Should individual provisions of the General Terms and Conditions of Business, including these provisions, be wholly or partially invalid or should the Terms and Conditions of Business contain a loophole, the validity of the remaining provisions or parts of such provisions shall remain unaffected. The invalid or missing provisions shall be replaced by the respective statutory provisions. The fact that Campus Deutsch does not exercise some or all of the rights to which it is entitled shall not be construed as a waiver of such rights. Prices may be changed at any time. Courses may be cancelled, postponed or changed due to low enrolment. The terms and conditions can be changed by Campus Deutsch at any time and are effective for existing and concluded contractual relationships.
No liability is accepted for any errors in the translation.
