Course Owner and Provider: Fondazione SoLongevity ETS, Via Adamello 16, 20139 Milan, Italy (hereinafter “the Foundation”)
Technical & Clinical Partner: SoLongevity Healthcenters Srl, Milan, Italy (hereinafter “SoLongevity”)
ECM/CME Technical Partner: Università di Pavia — ECM Department, Corso Strada Nuova 65, 27100 Pavia, Italy
Participant: The registered medical professional completing the enrollment form (hereinafter “Participant”)
Article 1. SCOPE AND DEFINITIONS
1.1 This Agreement governs the terms and conditions under which the Participant enrolls in the course “Longevity Medicine: Foundations for Clinical Practice” (hereinafter “the Course”), owned and promoted by Fondazione SoLongevity ETS (hereinafter “the Foundation”), with SoLongevity Healthcenters Srl acting as Technical and Clinical Partner, and the Università di Pavia ECM Department acting as ECM/CME Technical Partner.
1.2 The Course is the first European Advanced Training Course specifically designed in the field of longevity medicine for certified medical professionals. It carries ECM (Educazione Continua in Medicina) / CME (Continuing Medical Education) accreditation in Italy and equivalent CME credits within the European Union, as issued by the relevant competent authority.
1.3 For the purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions apply:
- “Course” means the full programme of 80 hours of asynchronous distance-learning (FAD) content delivered exclusively in English, together with all associated assessments and materials.
- “Module” means each of the thematic teaching units comprising the Course, including but not limited to: the Diagnostic Module, the Therapeutic Module, the AI in Clinical Practice Module, the Ethics and Regulation Module, and the Pharmacology of Longevity Module.
- “Faculty” means the lecturers, professors, and clinical experts who contribute teaching content to the Course.
- “Lesson” means a single instructional unit within a Module, associated with a specific teaching topic and a defined number of contact hours.
- “ECM/CME Credits” means the continuing medical education credits (ECM in Italy; CME equivalents in the European Union) formally attributed to Lessons and Modules as determined by the competent accreditation authority.
- “Platform” means the digital environment through which Course content is delivered and accessed by Participants.
- “Practicum” means the optional 80-hour supervised clinical internship (tirocinio) offered as a complementary component of the Course. The Practicum is not required for the award of ECM/CME credits attributable to the distance-learning programme and is subject to separate conditions as set out in Article 1.5.
1.4 The core distance-learning programme comprises more than 80 hours of asynchronous FAD (Formazione a Distanza) content, delivered exclusively in English via the Platform, covering the following thematic Modules: the Diagnostic Module, the Therapeutic Module, the AI in Clinical Practice Module, the Ethics and Regulation Module, and the Pharmacology of Longevity Module.
1.5 In addition to the distance-learning programme, the Course offers an optional Practicum of 80 hours of supervised clinical internship (tirocinio), which Participants may elect to undertake. The Practicum is governed by a separate addendum to this Agreement and may be subject to additional fees, scheduling arrangements, and eligibility conditions. Participation in the Practicum is not a prerequisite for the award of ECM/CME credits attributable to the distance-learning programme.
2.1 Access to the Course is reserved exclusively to medical professionals holding a valid and current license to practice medicine, as verified at the time of enrollment. The Foundation reserves the right to verify credentials and to deny or revoke access in the event of non-compliance with this requirement.
2.2 Enrollment is confirmed upon receipt of the full applicable enrollment fee and acceptance of this Agreement. The Participant will receive access credentials to the Platform within five (5) business days of confirmed payment.
2.3 The license to access Course content is personal and non-transferable. Sharing of access credentials is strictly prohibited and constitutes grounds for immediate termination of access without refund.
Article 3. COURSE CONTENT AND PROGRAMME FLEXIBILITY
3.1 The Foundation undertakes to deliver a Course of high scientific and didactic quality, consistent with the Programme published at the time of enrollment. The Foundation nevertheless retains the following operational rights, which the Participant expressly acknowledges and accepts as a condition of enrollment:
3.2 Faculty Substitution
The Foundation reserves the right to replace any initially designated Faculty member with another qualified expert in the relevant scientific field, at any time and without prior notice to the Participant. Such replacement may occur for reasons including, but not limited to, illness, scheduling conflicts, withdrawal of a lecturer, or the identification of a more qualified or available expert. A change of Faculty member does not constitute a material alteration of the Course and does not entitle the Participant to a refund or any other remedy.
3.3 Lesson Content Modification
The Foundation reserves the right to modify, update, or substitute the specific content of any individual Lesson, provided that the overarching thematic topic assigned to that Lesson slot remains substantively consistent. Such modifications may be made to ensure scientific currency, to incorporate emerging evidence, or to optimise pedagogical quality. The Participant acknowledges that advances in the scientific field of longevity medicine may necessitate content updates during the Programme period (June 2026 – March 2027).
3.4 Modification of the ECM Credit-contributing Lesson List
The Foundation reserves the right to modify the list of Lessons that formally contribute to the ECM/CME credit count, subject to the prior approval of the competent ECM/CME accreditation authority. Any such modification will be communicated to enrolled Participants as soon as practicable. The total number of ECM/CME credits available to Participants who complete all requirements shall not be reduced below the number stated in the Programme at the time of enrollment without the Participant’s prior written consent.
3.5 Addition of Teaching Topics
The Foundation reserves the right to add new teaching topics, Lessons, or thematic sections to the Course Programme at any time, without altering the total number of Lessons and hours formally attributable to ECM credits. Such additions represent enhancements to the overall educational offering and do not modify the Participant’s obligations under this Agreement. Access to additional content shall be granted to all enrolled Participants at no additional charge, unless the Foundation expressly designates such content as a separate and optional module.
Article 4. FEES, PAYMENT, ACCESS AND REFUND POLICY
4.1 The Course is offered under two enrollment models, which the Participant selects at the time of registration:
- Full Programme Enrollment: access to all Modules and Lessons comprising the distance-learning programme, for the applicable full-programme fee.
- Single Module Enrollment: access to one or more individual Modules selected by the Participant, for the applicable per-module fee as published on the enrollment platform.
The applicable fee for the selected enrollment model is as stated on the Foundation’s official enrollment platform at the time of registration. All fees are stated inclusive of any applicable VAT or equivalent taxes, unless otherwise specified.
4.2 Access to Course content is strictly conditional upon full payment of the fee corresponding to the enrollment model and Module selection made by the Participant. The following rules apply:
- Full Programme Enrollment: access to all Modules and associated content will be granted only upon receipt and confirmation of the full programme fee.
- Single Module Enrollment: access to each individual Module will be granted only upon receipt and confirmation of the fee specifically attributable to that Module. Access to any Module for which payment has not been completed remains suspended, regardless of the Participant’s enrollment status with respect to other Modules.
- In no circumstance shall content be made accessible in advance of confirmed payment. Provisional or conditional access is not provided under any enrollment model.
4.3 Payment is processed via the secure payment infrastructure designated by the Foundation. The Participant authorises the sharing of transaction data with the relevant payment processing partners for the sole purpose of completing and recording the transaction (see Article 6). Access credentials are activated automatically upon payment confirmation by the payment processor.
4.4 Where the enrollment fee is paid in instalments or where a deposit (hereinafter “the Deposit”) is required at the time of registration, the Deposit is non-refundable under any circumstances, including in the event of exercise of the right of withdrawal described in Article 4.5. The Deposit constitutes consideration for the reservation of the Participant’s place in the Course and for the administrative processing of the enrollment. The non-refundable nature of the Deposit does not affect any rights the Participant may have under mandatory consumer protection legislation applicable in their country of habitual residence.
4.5 The Participant may withdraw from this Agreement and request a full refund of any fee paid beyond the Deposit within fourteen (14) calendar days of confirmed enrollment, provided that both of the following conditions are met:
- no content within the paid Module or Programme has been accessed during that period; and
- the training programme — or the specific Module enrolled in — has not yet commenced.
The right of withdrawal lapses automatically upon the earlier of: (a) expiry of the fourteen-day period; (b) any access to paid content; or (c) commencement of the training programme or Module. This cooling-off right is exercised by written notice to the Foundation at the address provided in this Agreement. Where a Participant has enrolled in multiple Modules separately, the cooling-off period applies independently to each Module from the date of payment for that Module, subject always to the condition that the relevant Module has not yet commenced.
4.6 After the right of withdrawal has lapsed pursuant to Article 4.5, the fee for the relevant Module or Programme (net of any Deposit already paid) is non-refundable, except in the event of force majeure as defined in Article 10, or in the event the Foundation fails to deliver the relevant Module or Programme in its entirety. Refunds, where due, will be issued within thirty (30) calendar days of the Foundation’s acceptance of the refund request.
Article 5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
5.1 All teaching materials, slides, recordings, bibliographic collections, assessment questions, and any other content produced for or in connection with the Course are the exclusive intellectual property of the Foundation and the respective Faculty member, as indicated in each item of content.
5.2 The Participant is granted a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use Course materials solely for their own professional development and for the purpose of obtaining the associated ECM credits. No other use is permitted without the prior written authorisation of the Foundation.
