and,

b) the undersigned student (the “Student”).

The Company and the Student are collectively referred to as the “Parties”, and individually as a “Party”.

1. Purpose

The purpose of this Agreement is to provide the Student with education and guidance in graphic design in order to strengthen competence, develop personal projects, and increase opportunities for job interviews. The framework of the Agreement is designed to ensure predictability, quality of delivery, and equal terms for all students.

2. Company Deliverables

The Company offers education and courses in graphic design, including logo creation, brand book development, label and packaging design, as well as website design.

Pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall provide the Student with access to the following information, products, and services (collectively referred to as the “Services”):

·       Video-based and written educational material

·       Group mentoring and professional support

·       Guidance for portfolio and CV development

·       Career coaching and job interview training

The Company provides education but cannot guarantee specific results. This Agreement grants access to knowledge, guidance, and frameworks; however, outcomes depend on the Student’s own effort, time commitment, and skills. Examples of results achieved by previous students are illustrative only, and individual results may vary.

If the Student experiences academic or practical challenges during the course, the Student is encouraged to contact the Company for guidance within the scope of the Services.

3. Prerequisites for Participation

The Student acknowledges that access to the internet, a computer capable of running the necessary Adobe software, and a valid email address are required to receive assignments and complete the course.

To complete the course, the Student must also have access to Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, as well as Figma. The Student will be offered a student discount on Adobe Creative Cloud at NOK 296 per month for 12 months. The free version of Figma is used.

4. Duration and Entry into Force

By signing this Agreement, the Student confirms acceptance of the terms and conditions.

The Agreement enters into force and becomes financially binding for the Student upon signing.

The Student will gain access to the Services shortly after signing, as described in the ordering solution.

5. Price and Payment

Access to the Services for 12 months may be purchased either by paying a one-time fee (“One-Time Payment”) or by entering into a subscription for a specified and predetermined period (“Subscription with Binding Period”).

In the case of a One-Time Payment, third-party providers may, under their own terms, offer the Student credit, whereby the order is completed through a repayment plan (“Installment Payment”).

The Company may also choose to offer the Student an Installment Payment plan for up to 90 days.

The payment terms are established to ensure predictable operations and continuous student follow-up.

Information regarding price, any binding period or repayment plan, and other terms is provided in the ordering solution before the Student completes the order. These terms form part of the Agreement between the Parties.

The Company offers various payment methods and may refuse certain payment methods and refer the Student to alternative options.

The Student is responsible for any costs incurred in connection with their own transactions.

Invoices and credit notes will be sent electronically only.

In the event of delayed or missing payment, collection fees and reminder charges will accrue in accordance with the Norwegian Act on Interest on Overdue Payments of 17 December 1976 and the Norwegian Debt Collection Act of 13 May 1988.

If payment is overdue by more than 14 days after the due date, the Company has the right to suspend access to the Services without further notice. The payment obligation remains regardless of whether access is suspended. Access will be restored once payment has been completed.

6. Termination and Cancellation

The Company may terminate or cancel the Student’s access to the Services with immediate effect and require immediate payment of any outstanding fees if the Student breaches the terms of this Agreement. If the Student has a Subscription with a Binding Period, the Company may require immediate payment of all outstanding fees for the remainder of the binding period. The same applies if the Student uses an Installment Payment plan offered directly by the Company.

If the Student has a Subscription with a Binding Period, it may be terminated before expiry against a cancellation fee equal to 50% of the remaining total amount. The Student must submit written notice of termination to the Company.

Upon termination or cancellation, regardless of the reason, the Student shall immediately return or delete all Confidential Information and proprietary material belonging to the Company.

7. Right of Withdrawal

The Student has the right to withdraw from the Agreement within 14 days from the date of signing. The right of withdrawal allows the Student to terminate the Agreement free of charge without stating a reason.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, the Student must notify the Company in writing. The Student may use the withdrawal form sent by email after signing the Agreement. If the form is not used, the Student must send an email to [email protected] with the subject line “Exercise of Right of Withdrawal”, or otherwise clearly inform the Company of the withdrawal.

Withdrawal Form

A condition for exercising the right of withdrawal is that the Student has viewed less than 20% of the course content.

The right of withdrawal must be exercised in writing and may not be exercised by anyone other than the Student unless a power of attorney signed by the Student is provided.

If the Student exercises the right of withdrawal, the Company shall refund the amount paid (excluding any additional costs incurred because the Student chose a payment method other than the least expensive option offered). Refunds shall be made without undue delay and no later than 14 days after the Company has received valid notice of withdrawal.

Upon exercising the right of withdrawal, the Student shall immediately return or delete all Confidential Information and proprietary material belonging to the Company.

8. Confidentiality

The Student undertakes to treat all Confidential Information received from the Company as strictly confidential and not to share, distribute, publish, or otherwise make such information available to unauthorized parties.

“Confidential Information” means all non-public information related to the Company’s business, including trade secrets, know-how, copyrighted material, products, services, pricing, technical, business, and financial information, as well as documents, videos, software, and other material the Student gains access to through this Agreement.

All Confidential Information remains the property of the Company. The Student acquires no ownership or rights to such information, and access is granted solely for the duration of the Agreement and on the basis that confidentiality is maintained, including after termination of the Agreement.

In the event of a breach of this provision, the Company may claim compensation for documented losses in accordance with general principles of contract law.

9. Limitation of Liability

The Company assumes no liability for financial loss resulting from circumstances beyond the Company’s control and is not liable for indirect losses, including loss of profit. The Company’s total liability is limited to the amount paid by the Student for the Services. The Student waives any claim for personal liability against the Company’s employees, managers, or representatives. Any claim for compensation must be documented and submitted without undue delay.

The Company does not provide legal, tax, or financial advice. The Student acknowledges and accepts full responsibility for their own decisions and actions. The Student hereby releases the Company, its owners, employees, managers, and agents from any liability arising from the Student’s actions, choices, or statements.

The Student is responsible for the maintenance and security of their own equipment (including computer, software, and accessories) used in connection with this Agreement. The Company is not liable for loss or damage to the Student’s equipment.

This Agreement does not limit the Company’s liability where such liability follows from mandatory law.

10. Amendments to the Agreement

If any provision of this Agreement cannot be enforced, it shall be limited or removed to the extent necessary to ensure that the remaining provisions remain valid and fully effective.

The Company reserves the right to amend the terms of this Agreement. Any changes will be communicated to the Student in writing via email at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Continued use of the Services after the changes have taken effect constitutes acceptance of the new terms.

If the Student does not accept the changes, this must be notified to the Company in writing within 30 days of receiving notice. In such cases, the Student has the right to terminate the Agreement without additional cost, effective from the date the changes were intended to take effect. In the event of material changes that significantly affect the Student’s rights or obligations, the Student has the right to terminate the Agreement with immediate effect without additional cost.

The applicable terms at any time will be available on the Company’s website.

11. Marketing

The Student consents to the Company using examples of the Student’s work (including designs, projects, feedback, and comments), as well as other content published by the Student on the course platform, in marketing materials and on the course platform to promote courses and services. This may include various formats such as images, videos, text excerpts, and quotes. The permission is non-exclusive and royalty-free.

The Company shall act reasonably and will not use material in a manner that may be perceived as offensive or misleading to the Student.

The Student may withdraw consent by providing written notice to the Company. Withdrawal does not affect the Company’s right to use material already published.

12. Guarantee

If the Student, after completing the course, has not obtained at least one job interview within graphic design, the Company offers an unlimited one-to-one support guarantee under the following conditions:

·       The Student has completed all worksheets and project assignments.

·       The Student has actively informed instructors of challenges in the roadmap and requested guidance.

·       The Student has applied for at least 40 positions in accordance with the framework of the GraphicMinds program.

·       The Student has complied with all payment obligations in accordance with the repayment plan. The guarantee lapses if payment is overdue by more than 14 days after the due date.

If the Student fulfills all conditions without having received at least one job interview, the Company shall provide ongoing and unlimited one-to-one coaching sessions until the Student has obtained at least one job interview. The Student is responsible for documenting that the conditions have been met. The guarantee applies for one year from the date of signing the Agreement.
