If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please do not access the Website or enrol in our programmes.
2. Definitions
“Institute” refers to the Heisenberg Institute for AI and Quantum Computing.
“Programmes” include workshops, research participation, educational courses, training sessions, and other services offered by the Institute.
“Services” means any interactive services, websites, portals, and tools provided by us.
“Participants / Students” means individuals who enrol in our programmes or otherwise make use of our Services.
“Content” means all text, graphics, images, audio, video, software, code, models, algorithms, documentation, course materials, and other data provided by us or through our Services.
3. Eligibility & Registration
You represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old (or if you are under 18, you have obtained prior parental or legal guardian consent, as required) and have full capacity to enter into this Agreement.
You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete registration and enrolment information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, and for all activities that occur under your account.
4. Fees, Payment, and Refund Policy
Programme fees are as stated at the time of enrolment. Fees must be cleared (paid in full, or via approved payment plan) before access is granted to the relevant Services or batches.
Once fees are paid and your enrolment is confirmed, no refund will be made except as specified in a separate written policy or agreement.
In the case of EMI or instalment plans, you must meet the eligibility criteria, complete any loan or financing approval, and ensure the first instalment is received before the Programme commences. Failure to do so may delay access or result in cancellation.
Any change of campus, batch, or Programme track after enrolment will typically require re-registration and may attract additional fees; requests for change are subject to our discretion.
5. Programme Access, Materials & Use
On successful enrolment and fee payment, you will be granted access to the Programme materials (online portal, lectures, code repositories, quantum computing resources, etc). Access is for your personal, non-commercial use only.
You agree not to share your login information, copy or redistribute the content, reverse-engineer any code or algorithms provided, or use the Services for any commercial purpose unless expressly authorised in writing.
The content is protected by copyright, trade mark, patent, and other intellectual property laws. Unless explicitly permitted, you may not reproduce, modify, publish, transmit, exploit or otherwise use such content beyond the scope of the Programme.
6. Conduct & Participant Obligations
You agree to conduct yourself in a professional, respectful, and ethical manner during the Programme. This includes respecting fellow participants, instructors, staff, and the intellectual property rights of the Institute and third parties.
You agree not to engage in disruptive behaviour, cheating, plagiarism, misuse of quantum or computing resources, unauthorised data access, hacking attempts, or any activity that violates applicable law or these Terms.
The Institute reserves the right to suspend or exclude a Participant from a Programme without refund if they breach these Terms, behave unprofessionally, or misuse the Services.
7. Placement/Research Assistance & Disclaimers
While the Institute may provide support, networking opportunities or research collaboration facilitation (e.g., job-placement assistance, internships, research partner introductions), we do not guarantee employment, publication, funding, or specific results unless otherwise specified in a separate contract.
All placements, partnerships, research outcomes depend on individual performance, external partner decisions, and resources beyond our control.
8. Licensing of Work & Research Outputs
Unless otherwise agreed, any work you produce in the Programme (such as models, algorithms, experiments, papers) may be used by the Institute for research, publication, teaching or promotional purposes, with attribution to you as appropriate.
If proprietary or collaborative work is undertaken involving third-party collaborators, a separate agreement may govern ownership, licensing, confidentiality, and publication rights.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services or participation in any Programme at any time if you breach these Terms, fail to pay fees, or engage in unlawful or unethical behaviour.
On termination, your right to use the Services ceases immediately. We may remove or disable your access. Any obligations you incurred up to the date of termination shall survive.

14. Entire Agreement & Severability
These Terms, together with any other written agreement you may enter into with the Institute, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Institute with respect to the Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications.
