"UKeU" functions exclusively as a marketing and training platform to promote and deliver online programs in collaboration with Ofqual (UK Government) Awarding Bodies and higher education institutions. It is hereby clarified that UKeU provides training services only and does not itself confer degrees. All degrees and qualifications are awarded solely by the respective Ofqual Awarding Bodies or University Partners associated with the programs.

Legal Notice:

UKeU has been redeveloped with the support of a team of eLearning and educational experts who were originally involved in the UKeU project launched in 2000. This redevelopment seeks to revive the original vision of creating an online training platform dedicated to delivering UK-based programs to a global audience.

For the avoidance of doubt, UKeU expressly declares that it has no financial, legal, or corporate affiliation, connection, or association with the former UKeU initiative established by the UK Government. Specifically, UKeU has no ties to the former UK e-Universities Worldwide Ltd or the former e-Learning Holding Company Ltd—entities established in 2000 as part of the original project—nor to the £62 million in funding allocated by the UK Government to HEFCE for the former UKeU initiative during the period 2001–2004.

UKeU programs are designed for a wide range of learners seeking flexible, online education options. Eligible participants include:

1. Undergraduate and Postgraduate Students
   Individuals pursuing top-up degrees, diplomas, or certifications from Ofqual (UK Government) Awarding Bodies or partnering higher education institutions.

2. Working Professionals
   Professionals seeking career advancement or specialization through recognized UK qualifications.

3. International Students
   Learners worldwide who wish to gain accredited UK qualifications without the need to relocate.

4. Lifelong Learners
   Individuals looking to enhance their skills or knowledge in specific fields via short courses or online certifications.

5. Employers and Corporate Teams
   Companies aiming to upskill employees or provide professional development opportunities through customized online training programs.

6. Pathway Students
   Learners who wish to bridge their current qualifications into advanced degree programs through recognized top-up pathways.

Applicants must meet specific entry requirements for their chosen program, including academic qualifications, language proficiency, and other prerequisites as outlined by the awarding bodies or university partners.

UKeU provides certain paid Services (such as course certificates for specific courses) for a fee. Unless otherwise specified, all fees are listed in Pound Sterling (£). You are responsible for prompt payment of any fees and applicable taxes using a valid payment method associated with the relevant paid Services.

If your payment method is declined or your account is past due, UKeU may employ various collection methods to recover outstanding fees.

These programs are delivered online by our Content Providers, who determine the admission criteria, refund policies, and requirements for graduation or completion.

Nothing in these Terms overrides the institutional policies established by our Content Providers for these programs (such as student codes of conduct). Such policies will supplement these Terms, and in the event of any conflict between these Terms and the policies of the Content Provider, the Content Provider's policies will take precedence.

Tuition and Fees

Depending on the program, either UKeU or one of our Content Providers may handle tuition and fee payments for these courses. If your payment method is declined or your account is overdue, UKeU or its Content Providers reserve the right to take additional legal measures to recover outstanding tuition and fees.

Tuition and fees may vary based on your location and other circumstances.

It is your responsibility to understand and comply with applicable laws and regulations.

As a result, UKeU may, at its sole discretion, restrict or stop your access to any Service at any time.

If you discontinue a premium service, you may be eligible for a refund as outlined in our Refund Policy.

In some regions or countries, due to factors such as export control regulations or governmental restrictions on internet access, we may be unable to provide the Services. UKeU, along with its content providers, instructors, contributors, sponsors, and business partners (collectively, the "UKeU Parties"), shall not be held liable for any inability to provide Services in such regions.

While we will regret your departure, you are free to stop using our Services at any time.

Your physical location is determined by where you are physically present, and it is strictly prohibited to use virtual private networks (VPNs), IP routing services, or any similar means to bypass these restrictions.

You further represent that your name is not included on any government Sanctions Lists, debarment or exclusion lists, export-control-related restricted party lists, or lists of forbidden, denied, or unverified parties (collectively, “Sanctions Lists”). Should you be added to any such list, you agree to immediately cease using the Services.

Additionally, you warrant that you will not export, re-export, transfer, or otherwise use the Services in a manner that violates any applicable laws, including providing the Services to any entity or individual listed on a Sanctions List.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Terms, if you breach any of the conditions in this section, UKeU reserves the right to immediately terminate all further obligations to you.

By using the Services or attempting to use them in violation of these Terms, violating any law or the rights of any third party, or using User Content (including, without limitation, any claim of infringement), you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold the UKeU Parties harmless from any and all claims, liabilities, expenses, and damages (to the extent that they are attributable to you under applicable law).

UKeU manages the Services, except as otherwise provided below. You acknowledge that the laws of the United Kingdom, excluding its rules on conflicts of law, shall govern these Terms. You and UKeU agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of and exclusive venue in the courts located in and serving the United Kingdom, as the legal forum for any dispute relating to these Terms that is not subject to binding arbitration.

This clause does not affect any mandatory consumer protections under the laws of the country where we direct the Services to you and where you have your usual residence.

You and UKeU agree to submit any and all disputes, claims, or controversies of any kind—whether based on statute, regulation, common law, equity, or any other legal basis or theory, and whether pre-existing, present, or future—that arise out of or relate to our Services, these Terms, and/or any other relationship or dispute between you and us (collectively, "Claims") to final and binding arbitration. This includes, without limitation, disputes regarding the scope or applicability of these Terms or the Services.

Arbitration Procedure

All Claims shall be resolved in accordance with the current version of the United Kingdom Arbitration Act, as amended. In the event of any conflict between this arbitration provision and the arbitration rules, this arbitration provision shall prevail.

If you choose to initiate arbitration, you agree to pay the initial filing fee of £200 (or any other amount specified by the applicable arbitration rules), and UKeU agrees to pay the remaining filing fees and any deposits necessary to begin the arbitration process. UKeU will cover the arbitrator's fees and other arbitration hearing costs; however, each party will be responsible for their own legal, expert, and travel expenses unless otherwise required by applicable law or arbitration rules.

All Claims will be resolved by a single, impartial arbitrator who must be a retired judge or an active member in good standing of the bar in the United Kingdom with at least five years of legal experience. The arbitrator must respect and uphold all applicable legal privileges.

The arbitration hearing will be conducted in the jurisdiction where you reside. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding on all parties and may be enforced in any court with proper jurisdiction. Arbitration proceedings, including all submissions, testimony, and awards, shall remain confidential unless disclosure is required by law or in connection with a court proceeding.

Class Action Waiver

You and UKeU agree that any Claims shall be brought solely on an individual basis and not as a class or representative action. The arbitrator is not authorized to combine or join the claims of other parties or individuals similarly situated. As such, class arbitrations and representative actions are prohibited.

Exceptions to Arbitration

You or UKeU may:

1. File a claim with a federal, state, or local government agency, if applicable.
2. Bring qualifying claims in small claims court, provided they proceed on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis.
3. Seek provisional or ancillary relief (such as preliminary injunctions or pre-arbitral attachments) without waiving the right to arbitration.

Severability

If any provision in this arbitration and class action waiver section is found to be unenforceable, a court may sever that portion, and the remaining provisions shall remain valid and enforceable. The prohibition on class or representative Claims is not severable.

Waiver of Court Rights

By agreeing to arbitration, you waive certain rights, including the right to:

• File a court action.
• Have a jury trial.
• Participate in any form of class or representative action.
• Engage in court-supervised discovery, except as permitted by the arbitration rules.

Final Provisions

Any waiver of a term in this Section must be in writing and signed by the waiving party to be effective. Other provisions of these Terms remain unaffected by such waivers.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time, at our sole discretion. Any changes to the Terms will become effective immediately upon posting. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify you of any significant changes to the Terms through notices on the website, email communications, other methods, or a combination thereof.

Your continued use of the Services after any modifications have been posted—regardless of whether or not you receive specific notice—constitutes your legally binding acceptance of the updated Terms.

If any specific provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

Failure by us to enforce any provision of these Terms or to take immediate action in response to a violation does not constitute a waiver of our rights, including the right to take action in the future.

Our Content Creators and Integrated Service Providers are considered third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce the provisions of the Terms that apply to them.
