General Terms and Conditions for the Purchase of Online Courses NorVue – Corporate Customers

 

1. INTRODUCTION

NorVue AS has developed and owns web-based training concepts in ultrasound of various organs ("Online course"). The online course is intended and developed for healthcare professionals, as defined in the Health Personnel Act, LOV-1999-07-02-64, § 3 first paragraph.

These terms supplement the agreement entered into between NorVue AS ("NorVue"), organization number 925416509, Mørtelverksbakken 1, 0580 Oslo, and the corporate customer ("Customer").

The customer places orders through the website www.norvueas.com. When the order is completed, NorVue will send an order confirmation and invoice to the email address provided by the customer in connection with the order for a business package offer based on the information provided. The agreement is final and binding when the customer completes and confirms their order.

These general terms and conditions, together with the agreement entered into between NorVue and the customer, constitute the overall agreement basis for the customer's purchase of the Online Course ("Agreement").

2. ORDERING ONLINE COURSE

NorVue agrees to provide the customer with the number of user accesses to the online course specified in the customer's order.

NorVue will provide the customer with a number of time-limited, non-exclusive, and non-transferable licenses to use the online course ("License") in their own business, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement. Each individual license will be unique to the customer's individual employees ("User") and can only be activated for a single user account.

3. PRICES AND PAYMENT TERMS

The price for the customer's purchase of the Online course is the price specifically agreed upon between NorVue and the customer.

The customer undertakes to pay the agreed amount in accordance with the Agreement.

4. DELIVERY

After the customer's payment has been received, the licenses can be activated on the users' user accounts. The online course will then be available by logging in through the user accounts to which the licenses are linked.

5. DURATION OF THE AGREEMENT

The Agreement shall enter into force from the time the customer's payment is approved and shall continue for 6 months thereafter, unless one of the parties terminates the Agreement before its expiration. The customer's ordered licenses will expire simultaneously with the termination of the Agreement.

6. NORVUE'S OBLIGATIONS

NorVue is obliged to deliver the Online course with the content described on NorVue's website, and to deliver the Licenses to the extent set forth in the Agreement.

NorVue is obliged to ensure that their service and access to the online course will be operational 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with the exception of necessary downtime for updates and maintenance, as well as general upgrades to the service's functionality.

If there are problems with access or downloading, the customer can contact customer service at [email protected].

7. CUSTOMER'S RESPONSIBILITIES AND OBLIGATIONS
7.1 The customer is responsible for ensuring that the number of users given access to and using the online course does not exceed the number of ordered licenses.

7.2 Each License for the Online course is unique per user, and it is not allowed for multiple people to share the same username and password. The customer is responsible for ensuring that each user does not share their unique username and password with others. A breach of this condition will result in the termination of the relevant user account(s). Any previous payments will not be refunded.

7.3 The Customer may not assign or transfer its rights and obligations under the Agreement without prior written consent from NorVue.

7.4 The Customer is responsible for any activity performed under each User's user profile. The Customer and Users may not use the website's services for unlawful or unauthorized purposes. The Customer and Users may also not modify, adapt, or hack the website. In the event of suspicion of hacking on the website, this will be reported to the police. Violations of terms such as abuse of the website by knowingly introducing viruses, Trojans, worms, or other material that is (technologically) harmful will be reported. Such actions will automatically lead to termination of the Customer's rights to the website with immediate effect.

7.5 The Customer is solely responsible for ensuring that technical equipment, both software and hardware, are correctly installed and set up for the use of the Online Course. We follow Vimeo's guidelines, where they, among other things, support Chrome 30+, Firefox 27+, Internet Explorer 11, Microsoft Edge, and Safari 9+. An overview of the technical conditions and prerequisites for access to NorVue's services can be found in Vimeo's guidelines here.

8. BREACH OF CONTRACT AND TERMINATION
8.1 If the Customer materially breaches its obligations under the Agreement, NorVue has the right to terminate the Agreement with immediate effect. The Customer's or User's breach of the Agreement's clauses 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, or 10 is always considered a material breach and grounds for termination.

If the Customer significantly violates the terms of the Agreement and NorVue terminates the Agreement as a result, all User accounts that provide access to the Online Course will be automatically terminated. The Customer's payments made will not be refunded.

8.2 NorVue is entitled to compensation or remuneration for direct and indirect losses due to the Customer's and/or User's breach of the Agreement's clauses 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, and 10.

8.3 If NorVue materially breaches its obligations under the Agreement, and the Customer immediately gives written notice of this to NorVue, the Customer may terminate the Agreement if NorVue has not corrected the situation within 14 business days from receipt of the notice.

If the Customer terminates the Agreement due to NorVue's material breach, all User accounts that provide access to the Online Course will be automatically terminated. NorVue's liability will be limited to refunding an amount equivalent to the proportional price of the remaining period of the Agreement, calculated from the time the notice was received. The Customer will not be refunded for the time before the notice period. However, this does not apply if the material breach occurs during the first month of the contract period, in which case the Customer will be refunded the full amount paid.

9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
9.1 Due to continuous and significant progress in medical development, NorVue cannot guarantee that all information provided on their website or in the Online Course is at all times correct and complete in all respects. NorVue disclaims all liability for direct and indirect loss and damage that can be directly or indirectly linked to misinformation provided on the website or in the Online Course.

9.2 NorVue is not responsible for how Customers choose to use the information made available on the Online Course. Customers' use of course information is entirely at their own risk. NorVue cannot be held responsible for direct or indirect economic loss or damage to individuals associated with the Customer's use of course information in practice.

NorVue notes in this context that medical treatments performed by healthcare professionals cannot be based solely on ultrasound findings, and recommends that treatment and other patient decisions always be checked against the latest guidelines at all times. The online course is not intended to replace regular diagnosis or treatment based on clinically sound principles and assessment.
