Terms and conditions

1. Entering agreement 

Binding purchase agreements can only be entered into with persons over the age of 18. 

The agreement is binding on both parties once the Customer has sent his order to Simplylearn. 

However, the agreement is not binding if there have been typing or typing errors in the offer from Simplylearn in the proposal in the online store or in the Customer's order, and the other party realised or should have realised that such an error occurred. 

2. Contract period 

All services are subscriptions, ongoing and time-limited, with a minimum contract period of 12 months at a time, unless otherwise stated in the order, contract and/or invoice. Simplylearn is obliged to renew the services continuously and automatically for a new contract period, and on otherwise applicable terms, until termination is notified by the Customer. 

3. Prices and price changes 

The stated price for a service is the total price the Customer will pay. This price includes all taxes and additional costs unless otherwise specifically agreed. Any additional costs that Simplylearn has not informed about shall not be borne by the Customer. 

Promotional prices apply for one - 1 - agreement period from the start date of the Agreement. Then ordinary prices apply. Simplylearn is obliged to inform about promotional prices. 

All prices stated on the website, or in other material, are normally stated without VAT and any other public taxes, unless otherwise stated. 

Simplylearn reserves the right to make changes to current prices and individual discounts.  

Simplylearn is obliged to notify price changes no later than 2 months in advance, effective from the start of the new contract period, or from the first due date. Notification of price changes must be sent by email to the email address specified as the contact address for the customer. 

4. Delivery

Delivery is made when the Customer, or the Customer's representative, has been granted access to use the Service. 

If the delivery time does not appear from the Agreement, Simplylearn shall deliver the service to the Customer without undue delay and no later than 30 days after the order from the Customer. The customer shall be notified by email when the service is delivered. 

5. Payment

Simplylearn may require payment for the Service from the time the Service is provided. 

If the Customer uses a credit or debit card at the time of payment, Simplylearn can reserve the purchase price on the card at the time of booking. The card will be charged at the time the service is delivered. When paying by invoice, the invoice to the Customer is issued on the same day that the service is delivered. The payment deadline is stated in the invoice and is at least 14 calendar days after the invoice date. 

All services are billed for a minimum of 12 months, unless otherwise stated in the Agreement or specially agreed terms. 

For customers who have agreed on the main due date separately, it is invoiced for the period up to the main due date, as well as another full agreement period when the period arising from settlement is shorter than 6 months. 

As a general rule, invoices for the new agreement period are issued 2 months before the new period begins to run. 

Fees are added to all invoices at the rates that appear in the booking Agreement at any given time. Purchases by credit or debit card, cash purchases, are exempt from invoice fees. 

The total amount of invoices and cash purchases is rounded to the nearest whole krone. Øre amounts ending in 1- 49 øre are rounded down to the nearest krone amount. Øre amounts ending in 50-99 øre are rounded up to the nearest krone amount. 

Unidentifiable bank transfers, and payments that exceed the claim amount, will be automatically refunded. Amounts below NOK 5,000 will be crossed against unpaid overdue entries, including any interest and fee claims, which are more than 5 days overdue, before any repayment. 

6. Right of withdrawal

Unless the agreement is exempt from right of withdrawal (Norwegian: “angrerett”, the Customer may cancel the purchase of the service in accordance with the Right of Withdrawal Act (“angrerettloven”). 

The customer must notify Simplylearn of the use of the right of withdrawal within 14 days of the deadline. The deadline includes all calendar days. If the deadline ends on a Saturday, public holiday or holiday, the deadline is extended to the nearest working day. 

The withdrawal period is considered complied with if notification has been sent before the expiry of the deadline. The customer has the burden of proof that the right of withdrawal has been exercised, and the notification should therefore take place in writing (withdrawal form by email or letter):

Simplylearn AS 
Strandgaten 16 
4550 Farsund 
Org.nr.: 917983933 

Email: [email protected] 

A service's grace period begins to run from the day after the first delivery. 

The withdrawal period is extended to 12 months after the expiry of the original deadline if Simplylearn does not state before the conclusion of the agreement that there is a right of withdrawal and a standardised withdrawal form. The same applies in the event of a lack of information about terms, deadlines and procedures for using the right of withdrawal. If Simplylearn provides the information during these 12 months, the withdrawal period will still expire 14 days after the day the Customer received the information. 

When using the right of withdrawal, the Customer immediately loses access to use the Services. Simplylearn cannot set a fee for the Customer's use of the right of withdrawal. 

The Customer may use the Service to determine the nature, characteristics and function of the Service, without the right of withdrawal, and even if the Customer uses the service before the end of the withdrawal period. 

Simplylearn is obliged to refund the purchase price to the Customer without undue delay, and no later than 14 days from Simplylearn was notified of the Customer's decision to exercise the right of withdrawal. 

For services deemed fully delivered at the time of creation, including, but not limited to, domain names, SSL certificates, and other services that result in an irrevocable order from subcontractors and are difficult or impossible to reverse, the Customer waives the right of withdrawal. Simplylearn is obliged to make the Customer aware of this at the time of order. 

7. Guarantee

Guarantees provided by Simplylearn give the Customer rights in addition to those the Customer already has under mandatory legislation. A guarantee thus does not imply any limitations on the buyer's right to a complaint and claims for delay or defects under this agreement. 

7.1 Delay and non-delivery 

If Simplylearn does not provide the Service or deliver it too late under the agreement between the parties, and this is not due to the Customer or circumstances on the Customer's part, the Customer may, in the circumstances, withhold the purchase price, demand completion, terminate the agreement or claim compensation. 

In the event of a claim for breach of contract, the notification for evidence should be in writing (email or letter).

7.2 Completion 

The customer can maintain the purchase and demand completion from Simplylearn. However, the customer cannot claim completion if there is an obstacle that Simplylearn cannot overcome, or if completion will entail such a great disadvantage or cost to  Simplylearn that it is in material discrepancy with the Customer's interest in  Simplylearn completing. Should the difficulties lapse within a reasonable time, the Customer may nevertheless demand completion 

The customer loses his or her right to demand completion if he or she waits unreasonably long to make the claim.

7.3 Cancelation 

If Simplylearn does not provide the service at the time of delivery, the Customer shall encourage Simplylearn to deliver within a reasonable additional deadline for fulfilment. If  Simplylearn does not provide the service within the additional deadline, the Customer may cancel the order. Prepaid amounts shall be refunded by  Simplylearn without undue delay, and no later than 14 days after the Customer chose to cancel the order. 

However, the customer can cancel the order immediately if Simplylearn refuses to provide the service. The same applies if delivery at the agreed time was decisive for the the agreement, and if the Customer has notified Simplylearn that the time of delivery is decisive. 

If the service is delivered after the additional deadline set by the Customer or after the time of delivery that was decisive for the agreement, the demand for cancellation must be made within a reasonable time after the Customer learned of the delivery. 

7.4 Compensation 

The customer may claim compensation for any loss suffered as a result of the delay. However, this does not apply if Simplylearn proves that the delay, or loss, is due to obstruction beyond Simplylearn's control that could not reasonably have been taken into account at the time of the agreement, avoided, or overcome the consequences of. Simplylearn's total liability is limited up to the cost of the service at the time of the agreement. 

8. Substandard service

If there is a deficiency in the service, the Customer must within a reasonable time after it was discovered or should have been discovered, notify Simplylearn that he or she will invoke the defect. The Customer loses its right to make a defect applicable unless Simplylearn is not notified within a reasonable time and no later than 2 months after the Customer discovered or should have discovered the defect. 

If the Service has a defect and this is not due to the Customer or circumstances on the Customer's part, the Customer may, in the circumstances, withhold the purchase price, choose between correction and replacement, demand a price discount, demand the agreement terminated or claim compensation. 

Complaints to Simplylearn should be made in writing: 

Simplylearn AS

Strandgaten 16

4550 Farsund

E-post: [email protected] 

8.1 Correction or re-delivery 

The customer can choose between claiming the defect corrected or the provision of the corresponding service. Simplylearn may nevertheless oppose the Customer's claim if the execution of the claim is impossible or imposes unreasonable costs on Simplylearn. Rectification or replacement shall be made within a reasonable time.  Simplylearn does not initially have the right to make more than two remedial attempts for the same deficiency. 

Simplylearn should as soon as possible after becoming aware of a lack of measures to remedy the shortage. If, on its own initiative, the Customer takes measures to remedy the defect beyond what may have been agreed with Simplylearn, Simplylearn shall not cover these expenses.

8.2 Discount 

The customer may request an appropriate price discount if the defect is not rectified, is not rectified within a reasonable time or the service is rescheduled. If special reasons suggest this, the price rejection may be set equal to the deficiency's significance for the Customer, but the price difference cannot exceed the cost of the service for the current contract period. 

8.3 Cancellation 

If the defect has not been corrected or the service is relinquished, the Customer may also cancel the order when the defect is not immaterial. Prepaid amounts shall be refunded by Simplylearn without undue delay, and no later than 14 days after the customer chose to cancel the purchase. 

9. Compensation and limitation of liability

Simplylearn can only be held liable for reasonable and foreseeable direct financial losses and resulting from gross negligence or intent.  Simplylearn's total liability is limited up to the cost of the service at the time of the agreement. 

Claims for compensation must be made without undue delay.

9.1 Liability limitation 

Neither Simplylearn, suppliers, subcontractors, third parties nor lawful representatives may be liable for any direct, indirect, loss, or damage resulting from delayed delivery or defects in the Service or that the Customer, or any third party, is incurred in connection with the use of, or inability to use, Simplylearn's services. 

Direct loss is understood to be the necessary and documented additional expenses incurred by the Customer as a result of the defect. Indirect losses are: 

1. Loss of information or data of any kind
   
2. Loss resulting from decreased or discontinued production or turnover (outage)
3. Loss due to the service not being useful as intended (loss)
4. Lost profits as a result of a contract with a third party falling away or not being properly fulfilled
5. Other financial or non-economic losses 

The limitation of liability applies regardless of cause and basis, including any consequences of system failures or new system versions, and also includes negligence on Simplylearn's part, and even if Simplylearn, suppliers, subcontractors, third parties or lawful representatives have been informed of the possibility of damages and/or losses. Simplylearn cannot be held liable in the event of gross negligence or intent if  Simplylearn proves that the loss itself in the circumstances is due to circumstances beyond  Simplylearn's control, and which  Simplylearn could not reasonably be expected to avoid or overcome the consequences of. 

Other than as expressly provided in this Agreement, Simplylearn makes no warranties, whether in writing or orally, directly or indirectly, regarding services provided under this Agreement. To the extent otherwise not provided by compelling legislation, the Customer cannot make a claim against Simplylearn based on the background rights (Norwegian: “bakgrunnsretten”), regardless of legal or actual basis. 

Without limiting the range of the foregoing, Simplylearn does not, among other things, imply that services will achieve the desired result or that the use of services may take place uninterrupted or error-free. To the extent permitted by applicable law, The Customer shall indemnify Simplylearn, suppliers, subcontractors, third parties or lawful representatives from any cost and expense as well as any claim, loss, damage and liability, regardless of type (including but not limited to reasonable legal costs), which may arise in connection with the use of Simplylearn services in violation of this Agreement or otherwise in violation of Simplylearn's intellectual property rights or customer's duty of confidentiality under the Agreement. 

10. Simplylearn's rights in the event of customer default

If the Customer does not pay or fulfil the other obligations under the agreement or the law, and this is not due to Simplylearn or circumstances on Simplylearn's part,  Simplylearn may, under the circumstances, close access to or suspend the Services, demand completion of the agreement or demand that the agreement be terminated. Simplylearn may also, under the circumstances, charge reminding fees and interest in case of late payment, debt collection fee and a reasonable fee in the recovery of services that are closed or suspended. 

Simplylearn has the right to suspend or terminate the account and deny all current or future use of the Service under the following conditions: 

1. Fraudulent and criminal activity, gross negligence, premeditated abuse, or violation of laws and regulations, linked to the exercise of Customer's obligations under this Agreement;
2. Use that adversely affects service performance;
3. Violation of the Service's terms of agreement.

10.1 Termination

Simplylearn may, upon prior notice, terminate access to services if there is a payment default on the part of the Customer. In the event of another breach, Simplylearn may, without prior notice, terminate access to services. Termination of services causes the services to stop working. Termination of access to services means that the Customer will no longer be permitted to operate them. 

10.2 Suspension 

Simplylearn may, without prior notice, suspend services in the event of a material breach on the part of the Customer. Suspending the Services will cause the Services to cease to function normally, the Customer will no longer be permitted to operate them, and will not be renewed until a new contract period is in place if  the breach exists.

10.3 Completion 

Simplylearn may uphold the agreement and require the Customer to pay the purchase price. If the service is not delivered, Simplylearn loses its right if the claim is not made within a reasonable time. 

10.4 Cancelation 

Simplylearn may, without prior notice, terminate the agreement if there is a material breach on the part of the Customer. This may result in immediate deletion of services and content. 

Material breach includes, but is not limited to, payment default beyond 45 days after due date, any violation of the limitations of the right of use of this Agreement, infringement of law, rights or other protected interests, and services that create disproportionately high loads or other problems. 

Neither termination of access to, suspension of services nor cancellation absolves the Customer of the responsibility for payment. Already paid amounts for the current agreement period(s) will not be refunded. 

Simplylearn reserves the right to pursue any breach through civil and/or criminal sanctions. Simplylearn may claim compensation for the expenses and losses incurred by the Company as a result of a breach on the part of the Customer, including but not limited to reasonable legal assistance expenses in connection with legal action to pursue or remedy default. 

The customer shall indemnify Simplylearn in any circumstances arising out of the breach.

10.5 Interest and fees 

If the Customer does not pay in accordance with the agreement, Simplylearn may charge reminder fees and interest pursuant to the Interest on Delay Act (Norwegian: “forsinkelsesrenteloven” ). In case of non-payment, the claim may, after prior notice, be sent to debt collection, the Buyer may then be held liable for a fee pursuant to the Debt Collection Act (Norwegian “Inkassoloven”). 

When restoring, or accessing, services that have been suspended or deleted, Simplylearn may charge a fee when this incurs additional costs for Simplylearn. 

11. User Account Terms
