Company (together, the " Services") to any person (" you"). These Terms may be
revised, updated or replaced from time to time.

These Terms govern your use of all our websites, apps, landing pages, and other
products and Services. As some of our Services may include software that is
installed on your device, you agree that we may automatically update this software,
and that these Terms will apply to such updates. Please read these Terms carefully,
and contact us if you have any questions. By using our Services, you agree to be
bound by these Terms, including the policies referenced in these Terms (such as

If you refuse to accept these Terms, you will not be able to join any Service or
Programmes from our Site.

You should print a copy of these Terms or save them for future reference. We may
amend these Terms from time to time. Every time you wish to use a Service, please
check these Terms to ensure you understand the terms which will apply at that
time. These Terms, and any contract or agreement between us, are only in the
English language.

Disclaimers

The Services and all included content are provided on an "as is" basis without
warranty of any kind, whether express or implied. To the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law, the Company specifically disclaims:

 any and all warranties and conditions of merchantability, fitness for a


particular purpose, and non-infringement;
 any and all warranties arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade; and
 any and all liability related to your access or use of the Services or any
related content.

You acknowledge and agree that any access to or use of the Services or such
content is at your own risk.

Nothing in these Terms shall, or shall be interpreted as an attempt to, exclude any
liability for any: fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; death or personal injury
caused by negligence; or any matter for which it would be unlawful to exclude
liability.

Institutional Recognition

Unicaf Limited and its partner institutions, inclusive of Unicaf University and
affiliates, offer degree programmes which are recognised or registered and/or and
accredited by the relevant authorities of the respective countries and territories
where the awarding body is based, as well as professional development courses.
Many countries and territories have their own accrediting bodies, and regulations
for recognition of degree equivalency which differs depending on the jurisdiction.
Please review your country or territory of residence's requirements to confirm
recognition of your programme. Unicaf Ltd takes no responsibility for recognition
of any of the qualifications offered by any of its partner universities by any local
authority in any country.

Unicaf University does not offer programmes that lead to professional licensure.
Career options may require additional experience, training or other factors beyond
the successful completion of an academic degree programme. Unicaf University
degrees, however, being of international standard, are widely accepted by
employers across the private and public sectors, as well as being solid foundations
for further study.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company shall not be liable for any
indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of
profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use,
goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from:

 your access to or use of or inability to access or use the Services;


 any conduct or content of any party other than the applicable Company,
including without limitation, any defamatory, offensive, or illegal conduct;
or
 unauthorized access, use, or alteration of your content or information. In no
event shall the Company aggregate liability for all claims related to the
Services exceed twenty US dollars ($20) or the total amount of fees received
by the Company from you for the use of paid Services during the past three
months, whichever is greater.

You acknowledge and agree that the disclaimers and the limitations of liability set
forth in these Terms reflect a reasonable and fair allocation of risk between you
and the Company, and that these limitations are an essential basis to the Company's
ability to make its Services available to you on an economically feasible basis.
You agree that any cause of action related to the Services must commence within
six (6) months after the cause of action accrues. Otherwise, such cause of action is
permanently barred.

partners associated institutions and representatives harmless for any injury incurred
through any use of, or the inability to use, any Services, including this web-site.
This limitation of liability applies to (without limitation) direct, indirect, incidental,
consequential, special, punitive or exemplary damages even if an authorized
director, officer, employee, agent, associates, partners or representative of the
Company has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Liability for invalidated payments and actions of fraud

You agree to compensate and indemnify the company for any claims, losses,
expenses or liability the company incurs arising out of:

1. An invalid transaction, refund transaction and any other expenses,


collectively "Invalidated Payments";
2. Any error, negligence, willful misconduct or fraud by you;

If the company has reason to believe that there is a higher than normal risk
associated with your Transactions, in particular if the company believes you have
breached the terms and conditions, then we may take various actions to avoid
Reversals, Chargebacks, fees, fines, penalties and any other liability. The actions
we may take include but are not limited to the following:

1. We may, at any time and without liability, limit or suspend your right to use
our Services if we believe that you are in breach of your obligations under
these Terms and conditions. If possible, we will give you advance notice of
any limitation or suspension, but we may take such actions without advance
notice under certain circumstances, including if we believe that your use of
our services represents a security threat or involves fraud or any other illegal
activities;
2. Refuse any Transaction at any time, provided that, upon request and where
possible, we will provide the reasons for the refusal and steps for resolution
of the problem;
3. Reverse any Transaction (including, if appropriate, to the sender’s credit
card), that violates, or we reasonably suspect may violate, these Terms and
conditions.
4. Hold your funds or suspend/ limit your account, to the extent and for so long
as reasonably needed to protect against the risk of liability or as required to
mitigate any regulatory risk in relation to your Transactions.
5. We may terminate immediately your rights under this agreement if we have
a serious reason to believe that your payment to the company is an action of
fraud, and/or an illegal activity and/or a result of fraud and/or an error.

Jurisdiction

These Terms and conditions are governed by the laws of the Republic of Cyprus
without reference to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof. Any dispute arising
from these Terms and conditions shall be resolved exclusively in the state courts of
the Republic of Cyprus.

Data protection

We will process Your Data only in accordance with these Terms and our Privacy
Notice.

Agreement

By accepting these Terms, you agree to be bound by the following regulations and
publications which together form your contract with the Company:

 Course/Programme Regulations: these are available from your


Programme/Module Leaders and on the website.
 Any other Company rule or regulation referred to in this Agreement or from
time to time in force, as published.

Participation agreement

By accepting these Terms, you agree that:

 You will notify Academic Affairs of any changes to the information which
you have submitted on application or enrolment; for example, if you change
your address;
 You will participate fully in those activities which are described in each
module as essential;
 You will inform the Module Leader if circumstances oblige you to miss any
of those essential activities and give details of the relevant circumstances to
the Module Leader;
 You wish to have your performance assessed according to the approved
procedures;
 You will observe and meet the deadlines and timetable prescribed for each
module;
 Failure to participate adequately in the essential activities may lead to
termination of your enrolment on your programme of study. You may be
invited to explain your failure to participate before termination on the
programme occurs. Failure to engage in this process will be considered to be
withdrawal.
 You will follow all the rules and regulations of the programme or institution
you are studying under.

E-Submission

The intellectual property in the assessments that you do will normally be owned by
you (see Intellectual Property Rights Policy).

The Company may require you to submit certain pieces of work by way of E-
Submission. The E-Submission system may use the Turnitin platform (or any other
suitable platform or service), and work that you submit may be used by Turnitin
(or such other platform or service as may be applicable) for the purpose of
checking the originality both of your work and other students' work. By agreeing to
this terms and conditions you agree that your work may be used in this way.

By making the Student Declaration you agree that it may be used in this way, and
additionally that:

The submitted work is your own;

The sources of information and material you have used in the preparation of your
work, including those obtained online, have been fully identified and properly
acknowledged (as stipulated by the relevant writing style employed in your
programme of study);

If there is suspicion of unfair practice the Company reserves the right to follow due
process and investigate in accordance to the regulations of the partner University.

Criminal convictions

By accepting these Terms you are confirming that you have no unspent criminal
convictions (excluding motoring offences). If this is not the case you must notify
the Company prior to enrolment so that the Company can consider whether such
convictions are compatible with participating in the Company's Services.

Student ID

The validation period of a Student ID is subject to the level of the programme that
the student is enrolled (i.e. for undergraduate programmes the Student ID validity
is for 5 years from the date of issue, and for postgraduate programmes the validity
is for a period of 3 years). Students should pay the cost of the student ID which is
set to the amount of 20 USD.

Fees and payment


It is your responsibility to make sure your tuition fees and other payments to the
Company which relate to programmes you are studying, Services you are using, or
accommodation are paid in full within the set deadlines. By accepting these Terms,
you are bound by the Company's regulations on the payment of fees, and other
expenses relating to the Services offered to you. No refunds are made for any
payments made.

Despite the percentage of scholarship that a student may receive (100% and/or
less), there are specific fees that are not covered by any percentage of scholarship.
Such fees include the Application Fee, the Graduation Fees, the Transcript Fees
and any other extra fees where commonly as a practice cannot be covered by the
Scholarship (e.g. Graduation Ceremony Fees and/or Seminar Fees). The applicant
and/or the student shall pay the foregoing since they are not subject to the
scholarships. The retake fees are calculated according to the initial cost of the
module and the percentage of the scholarship granted. If a student is awarded a
100% scholarship the retake fee will be 50% of the initial cost of the respected
Module.

In order for you to receive your Award you must clear all your financial
obligations to the Company including any administrative fees added upon
completion of your programme of study.

When making any payment to the Company it is essential that you let us know
what the payment relates to (for example tuition fees, application fees, etc.). This is
to enable the Company to correctly allocate your payment against your various
accounts. If you do not tell us what a particular payment relates to we will use
reasonable efforts to contact you at the address, email address or telephone number
you have provided to ascertain what the payment relates to. If we cannot contact
you in this way within a reasonable period of time, we will automatically allocate
your payment to the tuition fees.

Recording Policy

1. Summary - Introduction

"UNICAF" and "UNICAF University" operates a telephone system which is


capable for recording conversations. As many other organizations that operate call
centers, this is a standard practice where telephone calls and/or live chat
conversations are records for the achievement of quality monitoring, training,
compliance and safeguarding purposes. Live Chat Conversations and/or Calls,
incoming or outgoing, in the department of the Call Center and/or the Students
Support might be recorded and will be retained and/or collected as per our Data
Retention Policy and our Data Protection Policy. The use of these recordings is
strictly limited for the purposes specified in this policy.
The chat recording along with the call recording facility and/or system and/or
software, is automated and accommodates both outgoing and/or incoming calls of
the Call Center and the Student Support Department of "UNICAF". This policy
specifies that if a call is transferred to a department that do not have call recording
system and/or software on its line, it means that recording will cease to act once the
call is successfully transferred. Likewise, if a call comes in, or is a result of a non-
call recorded line and then is transferred to one that is under the recording system
and/or software, then the staff member should notify the caller that their call will
be recorded.

facilities and/or mechanisms and/or software are being used, we will inform the
