Mini MBAi Website and Course Terms & Conditions
Last updated: 22nd January 2026
These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the website located at www.minimbai.org (the “Site”) and your purchase and participation in any MiniMBAi course, module, program, community or related services (together, the “Courses”). Please read them carefully before using the Site or enrolling in any Course.
By accessing the Site, creating an account, purchasing or participating in any Course, or clicking “I agree” (or similar), you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Site or enroll in any Course.
1. About Us and How to Contact Us
1.1 The MiniMBAi Courses are provided under the “MiniMBAi” brand by independent professionals collaborating to deliver the program, including:
· Andy Ashley, based in the United Kingdom; and
· Michael Knapp, based in Germany.
1.2 For the purposes of these Terms, “MiniMBAi”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the operators of the Site and the providers of the Courses, acting together. You (“you”, “your”) refers to the individual user of the Site and/or participant in the Courses, and where applicable the business or organisation on whose behalf such individual acts.
1.3 Contact details (to be customised):
· Email: hello@minimbai.org
2. Scope of These Terms
2.1 These Terms apply to:
· Your access to and use of the Site and any content, materials, templates or resources made available on or via the Site (“Site Content”); and
· Your registration for, purchase of and participation in the Courses, including any live sessions, recordings, community access, templates, assessments, capstone project, certificate and related services (“Course Services”).
2.2 Additional terms may apply to specific features (for example, job board terms, community guidelines, invoicing terms, corporate bookings). Where there is any conflict, those specific terms will prevail for the relevant feature or service.
3. Eligibility and Account Registration
3.1 The Courses are designed primarily for B2B marketing professionals and organisations. By using the Site or enrolling in a Course, you represent and warrant that:
· You are at least 18 years old; and
· You have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract; and
· If you are acting on behalf of a company or organisation, you are authorised to bind that entity.
3.2 You may be required to create an account and provide accurate, current and complete information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities occurring under your account.
3.3 You must promptly update your details if they change and notify us immediately of any unauthorised use of your account.
4. Nature of the Courses – No Guaranteed Results
4.1 The Courses are educational and informational only. They are designed to help you understand and apply AI, marketing and business concepts in a B2B context.
4.2 No guarantee of success or specific outcomes. You acknowledge and agree that:
· Any examples of business, marketing, revenue or performance outcomes discussed in the Courses are illustrative only.
· Past performance or case studies do not guarantee, predict or imply any similar result for you.
· Your results depend on many factors outside our control, including your strategy, execution, market conditions, internal capabilities, budget and risk appetite.
4.3 No responsibility for your decisions or outcomes. You are solely responsible for:
· Any decisions you make in your business or career;
· How, when and whether you implement any ideas, suggestions, frameworks or tools from the Courses; and
· Any outcomes, whether positive or negative, arising from such decisions and implementation.
4.4 To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we are not responsible or liable for any success or failure you experience, or for any consequences of you applying (or failing to apply) the learnings from the Courses in your business, organisation or career.
4.5 Nothing in the Courses constitutes legal, tax, accounting, financial, investment or human resources advice. You should seek appropriate professional advice before making significant decisions.
5. Enrolment, Contract Formation and Course Access
5.1 Course information, including descriptions, dates, durations and pricing, is provided on the Site. This information is an invitation to treat and not a binding offer.
5.2 When you place an order for a Course (for example, by completing the online checkout process and clicking “Pay now” or similar), you make an offer to purchase that Course under these Terms.
5.3 A binding contract is formed when we confirm your enrolment (for example, by email confirmation or granting you access to Course materials), not when your payment is processed.
5.4 We reserve the right to decline or cancel an enrolment (and provide a refund if you have already paid) in our reasonable discretion, for example where:
· The Course is full or cancelled;
· There is an error in pricing or description;
· You have previously breached these Terms or community guidelines; or
· We reasonably consider that the Course is not appropriate for you.
5.5 Course access (including live sessions, recordings, templates and community access) will be provided as described on the Site at the time of purchase. Some features (such as community access) may be time-limited; others may be described as “lifetime” access (see clause 9.5).
6. Pricing, Taxes and Payment
6.1 Course prices are as displayed on the Site at the time you place your order, in GBP (£) or as otherwise indicated. We may change prices at any time; changes do not affect orders already accepted.
6.2 Unless expressly stated otherwise, prices:
· May be exclusive of VAT or equivalent sales taxes, which will be added at checkout where applicable; and
· May be subject to currency conversion or bank charges if you pay from outside the UK.
6.3 You authorise us (or our payment processors) to charge your chosen payment method for the full price (including applicable taxes) at the time of order.
6.4 If your payment fails or is reversed, we may suspend or cancel your Course access until full payment is received.
6.5 For corporate bookings or invoiced orders, specific payment terms will be agreed separately. Where no terms are agreed, invoices are payable within 14 days of issue and before the Course start date.
7. Course Delivery and Modifications
7.1 Courses are delivered online and may include live sessions, recordings, pre-recorded modules, templates, assignments and community discussions.
7.2 We may update or modify Course content, instructors, scheduling or delivery format to maintain quality, reflect changes in technology or law, or for other valid business reasons. Any such changes will not materially reduce the overall educational value of the Course you purchased.
7.3 We use reasonable care and skill in delivering the Courses, but you acknowledge that:
· Live sessions may be recorded and made available to other participants;
· Access depends on internet connectivity and third‑party platforms outside our direct control; and
· From time to time, Course access may be interrupted for maintenance, updates or technical issues.
7.4 If a scheduled live session is cancelled or materially rescheduled, we will use reasonable efforts to provide an alternative session, recording or equivalent replacement.
8. Certificates, Assessments and Capstone Project
8.1 Certain Courses may include assessments, quizzes, a capstone project and/or a certificate of completion, as described on the Site.
8.2 Award of any certificate is at our sole discretion and may be subject to requirements such as:
· Completing a minimum proportion of the Course;
· Attending or watching recordings of live sessions;
· Submitting assignments or a capstone project by specified deadlines.
8.3 Certificates are not equivalent to an accredited university degree or a regulated professional qualification. They indicate completion of a MiniMBAi Course only.
8.4 For the capstone or final strategic project:
· Feedback will be provided on a reasonable-efforts basis and may be delivered by instructors, teaching assistants or designated reviewers;
· We do not undertake to review or approve any actual business decisions or plans you derive from the project.
9. Intellectual Property and Licence
9.1 All intellectual property rights in the Site, Courses and Course Materials (including text, slides, videos, audio, templates, frameworks, workbooks, assessments, community content we post, branding and logos) are owned by or licensed to MiniMBAi and/or its instructors, licensors and partners.
9.2 Subject to your compliance with these Terms and payment of all applicable fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to:
· Access and view the Course Materials for your own personal and/or internal business use; and
· Use any templates, frameworks or tools provided solely for your internal business purposes, in accordance with any usage instructions or restrictions we provide.
9.3 You must not, without our prior written consent:
· Copy, reproduce, record, distribute, sell, resell, share, publish, upload or make available any Course Materials to any third party, except as expressly permitted (for example, sharing limited outputs within your own organisation);
· Use Course Materials to create or deliver competing products, services or training;
· Remove or alter any copyright, trademark or proprietary notices.
9.4 If you share or reuse templates or frameworks within your own organisation, you must ensure that such use remains internal and non-commercial (no onward resale as a competing course, service or product).
9.5 Where we describe access as “lifetime” (for example, “lifetime community access”), “lifetime” refers to the lifetime of the relevant Course or community offering, not your personal lifetime. We reserve the right to discontinue or replace any specific platform or community at any time, provided we use reasonable efforts to provide a similar alternative or adequate notice.
10. User Content and Community Conduct
10.1 You may be able to post, upload or share content in community areas, live sessions, assignments, chats or forums (collectively, “User Content”). You retain ownership of your User Content.
10.2 By submitting User Content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence (with the right to sublicense) to use, display, reproduce, adapt and distribute such content for the purposes of operating the Courses, communities and Site, and for internal quality improvement and anonymised marketing (for example, aggregating anonymised testimonials), unless you explicitly opt out in writing.
10.3 You are solely responsible for your User Content and must ensure that it:
· Is accurate, lawful and not misleading;
· Does not infringe any third-party rights (including confidentiality and IP);
· Is not defamatory, discriminatory, hateful, harassing, obscene, spam or otherwise inappropriate;
· Does not contain personal data of others without their consent.
10.4 You agree to behave professionally and respectfully in all Course and community interactions and to follow any community guidelines we publish. We may remove User Content or suspend or terminate your access if you breach this clause.
11. Third‑Party Tools, Platforms and AI Services
11.1 The Courses may reference, demonstrate, or require access to third-party tools, including AI models, software platforms, marketing tools, CRM systems or analytics (“Third-Party Tools”).
11.2 Third-Party Tools are subject to their own terms, conditions and privacy policies. You are responsible for reviewing and complying with those terms.
11.3 We do not control and are not responsible or liable for:
· The availability, performance, features, accuracy or security of Third-Party Tools; or
· Any changes made by third-party providers.
11.4 Any configuration, deployment or integration of AI tools or automation in your own environment is undertaken entirely at your own risk. You remain responsible for:
· Ensuring legal compliance (including data protection, IP, consumer and employment law);
· Implementing appropriate human oversight, review and governance;
· Managing any risks, errors, biases or unintended consequences arising from your use of AI.
12. Data Protection and Privacy
12.1 We process personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms. Please review it carefully.
12.2 Given that instructors are based in the UK and Germany and participants may be worldwide, your personal data may be transferred and processed across borders, including outside the UK/EU, as described in the Privacy Policy.
12.3 You are responsible for ensuring that any personal data you share about third parties in assignments, discussions or User Content is shared lawfully and with appropriate consent or legal basis.
13. Your Responsibilities
13.1 You are responsible for:
· Ensuring that your hardware, software and internet connection are sufficient for accessing the Courses;
· Attending sessions, engaging with materials and completing assignments within the indicated timelines;
· Keeping your account secure and not sharing your login with others;
· Obtaining any necessary approvals from your employer or organisation to participate in the Courses and apply learnings in your work.
13.2 You acknowledge that completing the Course does not guarantee any promotion, job opportunity, salary increase, revenue increase or other tangible outcome.
14. Cancellations, Refunds and Consumer Rights
This section should be tailored to your chosen refund policy and applicable law (in particular, UK and EU consumer law). The following is a suggested framework.
14.1
Cooling-off rights for consumers (UK/EU).
If you are a consumer habitually resident in the UK or EU and you purchase a Course online, you may have a statutory right to cancel within 14 days of purchase. However:
· Where you request that digital content or services be made available immediately, and
· You acknowledge that you will lose your right to withdraw once full access is provided,
your statutory cooling-off right may be limited or waived to the extent permitted by law.
14.2 Where we offer any goodwill refunds or deferral options beyond statutory rights, they will be clearly described on the Site or at the point of purchase. Such policies are discretionary and may be changed for future cohorts.
14.3 If we cancel a Course in its entirety before it begins and do not offer a reasonable alternative, you will be entitled to a full refund of the fees paid for that Course.
14.4 For business customers, all fees are generally non-refundable except where we cancel the Course or as otherwise required by law or expressly stated in writing.
14.5 Any refunds will be made using the same payment method you used for purchase, unless we agree otherwise.
15. Disclaimers
15.1 While we use reasonable care and skill in creating and delivering the Courses:
· The Site, Courses and Course Materials are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis; and
· We do not warrant that they will be uninterrupted, error-free, complete, current or suitable for your specific circumstances.
15.2 To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties and representations, express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non‑infringement.
15.3 You use the Site and Courses at your own risk. You are solely responsible for verifying any information, strategies or techniques before relying on them in your business or career.
15.4 Specifically, and for emphasis:
· We do not promise or guarantee any financial, commercial, marketing or other business results.
· We are not responsible for any success or failure you experience, or any decisions or actions you take (or fail to take) based on the Courses.
· You remain fully responsible for your own due diligence, decision‑making and risk management.
16. Limitation of Liability
16.1 Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or death or personal injury caused by negligence.
16.2 Subject to clause 16.1 and to the maximum extent permitted by law:
· We will not be liable for any indirect, consequential or special loss, including loss of profit, revenue, business, contracts, goodwill, anticipated savings, data or opportunity, whether arising in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise; and
· Our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the Site, Courses and these Terms (whether in contract, tort, negligence or otherwise) will be limited to the total fees you paid to us for the relevant Course in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
16.3 If you use the Courses on behalf of a business or organisation, you agree that:
· Our liability is to that entity only, not to any individual; and
· You will procure that the entity indemnifies us against any claims made by your employees, contractors or colleagues arising from their use of the Courses.
17. International Users and Legal Compliance
17.1 The Site and Courses are made available from the UK and Germany, but can be accessed globally. We do not represent that the Site or Courses are appropriate or available for use in all locations.
17.2 You are responsible for complying with all laws and regulations applicable in your jurisdiction when accessing the Site, participating in the Courses, using AI tools and applying any learnings.
17.3 If you are prohibited from using or receiving the Courses under applicable law (for example, due to sanctions or export control restrictions), you must not access the Site or enrol in any Course.
18. Changes to These Terms and to the Courses
18.1 We may update these Terms from time to time (for example, to reflect changes in law, technology, our business model or the Courses). The updated Terms will be posted on the Site with a revised “Last updated” date.
18.2 Where changes are material and affect an ongoing Course you are enrolled in, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you (for example, by email or in-platform notification). Continued use of the Site or participation in the Course after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
18.3 We may also discontinue or change any Course or feature of the Site at any time. Where this materially affects an ongoing Course you have already paid for, we will use reasonable efforts to provide a suitable alternative or a pro-rata refund.
19. Termination and Suspension
19.1 We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site, Courses or community (in whole or part) without refund if:
· You materially breach these Terms or any applicable community guidelines;
· You share Course Materials or login credentials in breach of clause 9;
· You behave in a way that is abusive, disruptive or harmful to other participants, instructors or the community; or
· We are required to do so by law or regulatory authorities.
19.2 You may stop using the Site or withdraw from a Course at any time. Unless otherwise stated in our refund policy or required by law, you will not be entitled to a refund of fees already paid.
19.3 Clauses which by their nature are intended to survive termination (including clauses 4, 8.3, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17 and 20) will continue to apply after termination.
20. General Provisions
20.1 Entire agreement. These Terms (together with any policies or additional terms referred to herein) constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site and Courses, and supersede any prior understandings.
20.2 Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be interpreted to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
20.3 No waiver. Failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy under these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or remedy.
20.4 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign or transfer our rights and obligations to another entity as part of a reorganisation or business transfer, provided this does not materially reduce your rights under these Terms.
20.5 Force majeure. We will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform our obligations due to events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, power or internet failures, strikes, war, civil unrest, epidemics or changes in law (“Force Majeure Events”).
21. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
This section should be confirmed with your local counsel. The following is a pragmatic structure given your presence in the UK and Germany and global participants.
21.1 If you are a business customer (not a consumer):
· These Terms and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales; and
· You and we irrevocably agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute or claim.
21.2 If you are a consumer:
· These Terms are governed by the laws of your country of residence to the extent mandatory consumer protection rules apply and cannot be derogated from by agreement; and
· You may bring legal proceedings in the courts of your country of residence, or in England and Wales, as permitted by applicable law.
