Document background
The Online Learning Agreement serves as the primary contractual document between educational service providers and students in Austria's growing digital education sector. This agreement is essential when offering online courses, distance learning programs, or e-learning services within Austrian jurisdiction. It addresses key requirements under the Austrian Distance Learning Protection Act, E-Commerce Act, and relevant EU regulations, including specific provisions for consumer protection and data privacy. The document is particularly relevant in the post-pandemic environment where online learning has become increasingly prevalent. It includes comprehensive details about course delivery, technical requirements, student rights, assessment methods, and support services, while ensuring compliance with both Austrian and EU legal frameworks.
