Legal disclaimer covering EU Academy platform.

General provisions

The European Commission maintains this website to enhance public access to information about its initiatives and European Union policies in general. Our goal is to keep this information timely and accurate. If errors are brought to our attention, we will try to correct them. However, the Commission accepts no responsibility or liability whatsoever with regard to the information on this site.

This information is 

●      of a general nature only and is not intended to address the specific circumstances of any particular individual or entity

●      not necessarily comprehensive, complete, accurate or up to date

●      sometimes linked to external sites over which the Commission services have no control and for which the Commission assumes no responsibility

●      not professional or legal advice (if you need specific advice, you should always consult a suitably qualified professional).

Please note that it cannot be guaranteed that a document available online exactly reproduces an officially adopted text. Only the Official Journal of the European Union (the printed edition or, since 1 July 2013, the electronic edition on the EUR-Lex website) is authentic and produces legal effects.

It is our goal to minimise disruption caused by technical errors. However some data or information on our site may have been created or structured in files or formats that are not error-free, and we cannot guarantee that our service will not be interrupted or otherwise affected by such problems. The Commission accepts no responsibility with regard to such problems incurred as a result of using this site or any linked external sites.

This disclaimer is not intended to limit the liability of the Commission in contravention of any requirements laid down in applicable national law nor to exclude its liability for matters which may not be excluded under that law.

Provisions related to educational content offered on the e(u)academy platform 

The e(u)academy offers courses and content ("Content Offerings") from European Institutions and partner institutions ("Course Providers"). While we seek to provide world-class content offerings, unexpected events do occur. The e(u)academy reserves the right to cancel, interrupt, reschedule, or modify any content offerings, including changing the point value or weight of any assignment, quiz or other assessment. Content Offerings are subject to the general provisions above.

No Academic Credit

Unless otherwise explicitly stated, participation in or completion of a content offering does not confer any academic credit.

Modifying and terminating our services

We are constantly changing and improving our services and as a result may add or remove functions, features, or requirements, and/or may suspend or stop part of our services altogether. Accordingly, the e(u)academy may terminate use of any service for any reason. We may not be able to deliver the services to certain regions or countries for various reasons, including due to applicable export control requirements or internet access limitations and restrictions from governments. The EU Institutions, the e(u)academy, its partners and instructors, its contributors contractors, and other agents (the "e(u)academy Parties") have no liability to users for any such action.

Users can stop using our Services at any time, although we'll be sorry to see you go.
