This section will not exclude you from mandatory consumer protections under the laws of the country to which we direct the Services and where you have your habitual residence.
15. Waiver of Binding Arbitration and Class Actions
You and Theological University agree to submit to binding arbitration any dispute, claim, or disagreement arising out of or in connection with our Services, these Terms, and/or any other relationship or dispute between you and us, whether prior, present, or future, based on bylaws, regulations, constitutions, common law, equity, or any other legal basis or theory, including but not limited to (i) the scope, enforceability, or enforceability of these Terms and/or this arbitration provision, and (ii) relationships with third parties not parties to these Terms or this arbitration provision (each a “Claim” and collectively the “Claims”) to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Any Claim will be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the AAA Accreditation Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”) in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated. The AAA Rules are available online and are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between this arbitration provision and the AAA Rules, such inconsistency shall be resolved in favor of this provision. If you decide to initiate arbitration, you agree to pay the initiation fee of US$200 (or any amount required by the AAA Rules), and we agree to pay the remaining arbitration initiation fee and any additional deposit required by the AAA to initiate your arbitration. We will pay the costs of the arbitration proceedings, including arbitrator fees; however, other fees such as attorneys’ fees and travel expenses to arbitration will be paid in accordance with the AAA Rules and applicable law. We will pay all costs relating to any arbitration we initiate. A single, impartial arbitrator, selected in accordance with the AAA Rules, will decide on all Claims.
The arbitrator must be a good standing active member of the bar association of any state in the continental United States and have practiced law actively for at least five years, or be a retired judge. The arbitrator will respect claims of privilege recognized by law. Unless contrary to applicable law and unless otherwise specified herein, each party shall bear its own attorney, expert, and witness fees, regardless of which party prevails in the arbitration. Any arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in the federal jurisdiction in which you reside, and you shall be given the opportunity to participate in and be heard in the proceedings. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on the parties and may be enforced in any federal or state court with jurisdiction. You and we agree that the arbitration shall be kept confidential and that the existence and any element of the arbitration proceeding (including, but not limited to, any defense, summary, or other documents presented or exchanged, and any testimony or other oral presentations and decisions) shall not be disclosed outside of the arbitration proceedings, except in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration or as legally required by applicable disclosure rules and regulations of government agencies.
Neither you nor the Theological University may act as a class representative or participate as a member of a class of claimants in relation to any Claim. Claims cannot be arbitrated on a class or representative basis. The arbitrator may only decide on your and/or the Theological University’s individual Claims. The arbitrator may not combine or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be in a similar situation. Accordingly, you and we agree that the AAA’s Supplementary Rules on Group Arbitrations do not apply to our arbitration. This arbitration provision and the procedures for arbitration provided for in this provision are governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, without regard to any applicable state law.
This arbitration agreement does not preclude you or us from pursuing legal action before federal, state, or local government agencies. You and we also have the right to pursue self-help avenues such as set-off or to pursue qualified claims in a small claims court, provided the matter remains in such a court and proceeds solely on an individual (non-classified, non-representative) basis. In addition, you and we reserve the right to seek provisional or ancillary measures, including pre-arbitration attachments or injunctive relief, before any competent court, and such a claim shall not be deemed inconsistent with any of these Terms or a waiver of the right to submit disputes to arbitration as set forth in this provision.
A court may sever any part of this Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver Section which it finds unenforceable, except for the prohibitions relating to addressing any Claim on a group or agent basis, and the remaining portions of this arbitration provision shall remain valid and enforceable. Any waiver of any provision of this Section shall not be effective or enforceable unless recorded in writing and signed by the party waiving such right or requirement. Such a waiver shall not constitute a waiver of or affect any other part of these Terms.
THIS BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER SECTION LIMITS CERTAIN RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO INITIATE A COURT PROCEEDINGS, THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDINGS, AND THE RIGHT TO CONDUCT INSPECTIONS, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN THE AAA RULES. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU OR THE UNIVERSITY OF THEOLOGY MAY HAVE IN COURT MAY ALSO BE EXISTING IN ARBITRATION.
16. General Terms
Changes to the Terms We reserve the right to revise the Terms at any time at our sole discretion. Any changes to the Terms will be effective immediately upon our posting. In the event of a significant change to the Terms, we will take reasonable steps to notify you of such changes via a header on the website, email notification, or another method or combination of methods. In any case, your continued use of the Services, with or without notification of such changes, constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms as binding.
Sustainability; Waiver
If any particular provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, this will not affect the other terms. Your failure to comply with these Terms and our failure to act promptly does not constitute a waiver of any rights we may have (such as the right to act in the future).
Content Providers Our content providers and integrated service providers are third-party beneficiaries of the Terms and may enforce the provisions of the Terms that apply to them.

Code of Conduct for the Theological University
The Theological University platform includes people from all over the world and from a wide variety of backgrounds, religions, and cultural norms. This diversity is one of the things that makes our community great, but it can also make communication challenging.
The purpose of our Theological University Code of Conduct is to ensure that the Theological University platform remains a warm, welcoming, and supportive place for all members, regardless of color, religion, national origin, gender, age, sexual orientation, sexual identity or expression, personal appearance, political affiliation, marital status, family responsibilities/parenthood, veteran status, education, disability, genetic information, and other legally protected classes.
The Code of Conduct was developed in collaboration with community members, students, instructors, and administrators to gather input and ensure diverse perspectives are represented. These codes will continue to be refined to include all stakeholders in the development and implementation of fair online learning standards.
The Code of Conduct reflects the ethics and values of the Theological University platform and community. To address and respond to ongoing data collection related to violence, cyberbullying, harassment, and intimidation, the codes will be reviewed annually by the Theological University community through a meeting of users, instructors, and administrators, and distributed annually to users via email and other media.
This is not intended to be a comprehensive list; rather, it is intended to be a guide for the kinds of interactions we would like to see on this platform. Ultimately, the Theological University team makes the final decision on whether behavior is acceptable.
Guidelines of the Theological University
These Code of Conduct applies to all forum posts and private messages published on the University of Theology websites, including https://ctu.edu.eu, seelsorgeakademi.com, the University of Theology Society, and all course discussion forums.
- We expect all activity on the platform to comply with the Code of Conduct. Failure to comply with the Code of Conduct may result in your or your posts being removed from the Theological University.
- The University of Theology and our partners may provide helpful information within the platform, but we cannot respond to every post. While peer responses are helpful and appreciated, they are not communications from the University of Theology or our partners.
- You own the rights to all content you publish on the Theological University platform. Theological University is granted a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual license to use and commercialize any content you publish on the platform. By posting on the platform, you grant Theological University the right to use any content in the post without restriction or compensation.
- The University of Theology is permitted to use any content you post on the Community, in other sections of seelsorgeakademi.com, on our social media channels, in our marketing materials, or in articles printed or published by third parties about the University of Theology. When you use your content in this way, the University of Theology will request permission before using your image or full name alongside any content you submit.

Improper conduct
We want all Theological University users to have the best possible experience. To clarify what this means, we have provided a list of examples of inappropriate behavior for Theological University users :
- Dangerous speech. Any expression (e.g., speech, text, or images) that could increase the risk of an audience turning a blind eye to or using violence against members of another group. Key characteristics of dangerous speech: It is directed at groups, it incites fear, it is often false, and it is indirectly harmful. Dangerous speech may include: Coded language (familiar terms within the group).
- Harassment or deliberate intimidation. This includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, sexual images in public places, stalking, and/or deliberate threats.
- Violence or threats of violence. Violence and threats of violence are unacceptable, whether online or offline. This includes inciting violence against any individual, including encouraging someone to harm themselves. This also includes posting or threatening to post other people’s personal information online (doxxing).
- Sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, language against people with disabilities, or otherwise exclusionary language. This includes deliberately referring to a person with a gender they do not identify with and/or questioning the legitimacy of a person’s gender identity. If you are unsure whether a word is derogatory, do not use it. This also includes repeated subtle and/or indirect discrimination.
- Unwelcome sexual interest or behavior that contributes to a sexualized environment. This includes sexualized comments, jokes, or imagery in interactions, communications, or presentation materials, as well as inappropriate sexual approaches.
- Influencing or encouraging inappropriate behavior. If you influence or encourage another person to violate the Code of Conduct, you may face the same consequences as if you had violated the Code of Conduct yourself.
- The persistent interruption of online discussions, talks, or other events. Persistent interruption of events, online discussions, or meetings, including talks and presentations, will not be tolerated. This includes ‘talking over’ or ‘contracting’ event speakers or influencing crowd actions in a way that causes hostility during event sessions.
- Misuse of the peer review system. This includes impersonating another student to give yourself a positive peer review; secretly colluding with other users to give each other positive peer reviews; and posting discriminatory, violent, or otherwise abusive content in the peer review feedback area. See the Theological University Honor Rules above.
- Retaliation. It is not permissible to punish someone for engaging in protected behavior. This includes harassing, bullying, or falsely reporting against a user who has expressed genuine concerns about your behavior. Giving a user a bad peer review for an assignment simply because you didn’t like the review you received for your assignment is unacceptable.
Theological University users are requested to cease all inappropriate behavior and are expected to comply with these rules immediately. If you are the subject of an incident report or wish to report inappropriate behavior, your personal data will be processed by Theological University as described in these Code of Conduct. You consent to such processing.
Community Guides
Below are additional guidelines to keep in mind when interacting in forums such as Theology University Society or Course discussion forums.
Respect:
Remember that context can be lost when communicating via text and when one or more discussion participants use a language other than their native tongue. Try to ensure your communication is clear and not unintentionally offensive. Emojis can be used to add context but cannot compensate for a rude post.
- Always treat everyone who uses or works for the Theological University with respect.
- Never share anything that could upset or offend another person, including sexual images or descriptions, actual or implied violence, or profanity.
- At the Theological University, never use language intended to attack, accuse, insult, harass, intimidate, pressure, humiliate, or abuse another person.
For more information, please see the Theological University’s Acceptable Use Policy below.
Sensitivity and Empathy:
The Theological University offers courses on many controversial or emotionally charged topics such as terrorism, mental health, religion, politics, etc. In our Global Community, discussing such things helps us learn more about the world and understand each other better. We expect discussions to be academic in nature, respectful, and open to all viewpoints.
- Never use any language that might be insensitive or offensive to someone based on their gender, sexual identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, or political opinion.
Problems, feedback, and criticism:
We welcome feedback that can be used to improve the Theological University experience.
- Please use the appropriate channels to provide this type of feedback or report issues.
- Simply avoid being negative; constructive criticism is valued, while unproductive negativity is disregarded.
This community is focused on learning, therefore it is expected that members will make mistakes, misunderstand things, or not fully grasp them. Feedback and criticism are an important part of learning, so please feel free to provide them when appropriate, keeping the following in mind:
- Always criticize the work itself or the method, not the person behind it.
- Never look down on anyone for not knowing or understanding something.
- If you think it might be embarrassing for the recipient, please provide your feedback privately.
- If someone responds negatively to feedback, don’t force them to give it; simply end the interaction.
Protect your privacy.
Avoid publicly sharing your own or others’ personal information online. Do not include any of the following in the body of a public post:
- First and last name
- Email address
- Phone number
- Address
- Account numbers
- Any other information that could be used to identify or harm you or others.
For more information, please review the Theological University’s Privacy Policies .
Resolving and Reporting Issues:
In such a diverse community, disagreements and misunderstandings are normal. Before assuming someone is offensive, ask for clarification and try to have a calm discussion. Do not lower your own standards of communication in response.
If this is not possible, report the post to our moderators by flagging it.
Posts that violate the Code of Conduct may be edited or deleted.
Possible consequences of violating the Code of Conduct

Cancel
Your subscription will continue month-to-month unless you cancel it or the subscription is suspended or terminated by the University of Theology. If you cancel your subscription, the cancellation will take effect at the end of the current monthly period.

If you complete a course within the free trial period, the Theological University reserves the right to request payment for one month’s subscription so that you can receive the course and/or specialization certificate.
Cancel
Your Theological University tuition fee will continue for the duration specified at the time of purchase, after which it will automatically renew unless you cancel your subscription or the subscription is suspended or terminated by Theological University. If you cancel your subscription after the refund period, you will retain access until the end of the subscription period and will not be billed for the next billing period.
