3. Use of the Website
You may use the DIGITALENT website for lawful purposes only. You agree not to:
misuse the website or its content
attempt to gain unauthorised access to systems or data
interfere with the website’s operation or security
submit false or misleading information
DIGITALENT reserves the right to restrict or suspend access to the website if these terms are breached.

4. Registration and Participation
Registration may be required to access certain DIGITALENT activities or content. When registering, you agree to provide accurate and complete information.

5. Fees, Access Duration, Cancellations and Financial Support

5.1 Fees and Participation Types
Some DIGITALENT activities may involve participation fees, while others may be offered with financial support or scholarships under the Creative Europe MEDIA framework.
Participants may take part as:
paid participants, or
scholarship-supported participants, subject to separate eligibility and selection criteria.
Participation is not guaranteed until registration, payment, or selection has been confirmed, as applicable.

5.2 Access to Paid Online Content
Access to paid online courses, digital learning materials, recordings, and related online content is granted for a fixed period of twelve (12) months from the date access is activated, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
After this period, access expires automatically and does not renew unless explicitly offered by DIGITALENT. Certificates and records of completed activities remain accessible after access expiry.

5.3 Cancellations and Refunds
Online Courses and Digital Content
Due to the digital nature of online content and immediate access upon activation, fees for paid online courses are generally non-refundable once access has been granted, except where mandatory consumer protection law applies.
Bootcamps and In-Person Activities
If a paid participant cancels their participation:
cancellations made more than 30 days before the scheduled start date may be eligible for a refund, minus any non-refundable administrative or processing costs, where applicable
cancellations made 30 days or less before the start date are non-refundable, as organisational, contractual, and production costs will already have been incurred
If DIGITALENT cancels or substantially reschedules an activity, participants will be offered either:
a full refund, or
the option to transfer participation to a future activity, where feasible.
Exceptional Circumstances
Refund requests based on exceptional circumstances (such as serious illness or force majeure) may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Supporting documentation may be requested.

5.4 Scholarships and Financial Support
Participation supported through scholarships or other forms of financial support is not subject to refunds, unless explicitly stated otherwise in the specific scholarship conditions.
Scholarship-supported participation may be subject to additional obligations, reporting requirements, or attendance conditions, which will be communicated separately.

5.5 Refund Requests
All cancellation or refund requests must be submitted in writing to:
info@digitalent.academy.
Requests should include the participant’s name, registered email address, and the relevant activity.
Nothing in this section limits or excludes statutory consumer rights under applicable EU or national law.
