Legal
Terms of Service
Last updated 19 July 2026
These terms govern your use of the European Chef Academy website and student platform. By applying, enrolling, or signing in, you agree to the terms below.
Eligibility
Our programmes are open to applicants who meet the published entry requirements for each course. Enrolment is confirmed only once your place and any applicable fees have been accepted by the academy.
Your account
You are responsible for keeping your login details secure and for activity on your account. Notify us promptly if you believe your account has been misused. Students are granted read-only access to the platform; administrators may edit course, job, and schedule content.
Enrolment and fees
Programme fees and payment schedules are published on the relevant course page. Fees must be settled by the due dates. Unless stated otherwise, fees are non-refundable once a cohort has begun; cancellations before the start date may be eligible for a partial refund under our refund policy.
Conduct
You agree to act with integrity and respect while using the platform and in all interactions with mentors, staff, and partner restaurants. Plagiarism, harassment, or misuse of academy resources may result in suspension or removal from a programme.
Certification
Certificates are issued only to students who complete all required modules and assessments for a programme. Certificates remain the property of European Chef Academy and must not be altered or misrepresented.
Acceptable use
You may not attempt to disrupt the platform, access data you are not authorised to view, or use the site for unlawful purposes. We may suspend access where we believe these terms have been breached.
Intellectual property
Course materials, branding, and platform content are owned by European Chef Academy or its licensors. You may use materials for your own study but may not redistribute, sell, or publish them without written permission.
Liability
The academy provides the platform and its content on a reasonable-care basis. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from your use of the platform.
Changes
We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated to enrolled students. Continued use of the platform after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
Governing law
These terms are governed by Finnish law. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of Helsinki, Finland.
