02Definitions

The following definitions apply throughout these Terms:

03Course bookings

3.1Any contract for the supply of Courses from this Website is between you and uAcademy. You agree to take particular care when providing us with your details and warrant that these details are accurate and complete at the time of ordering. You also warrant that the PayPal, Klarna, credit or debit card details you provide are your own and that you have sufficient funds to make the payment.

3.2By placing an Order through the Service, you warrant that you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts.

3.3When placing an Order, you may be asked to supply information relevant to your purchase including (without limitation) your debit or credit card number, expiry date, billing address, email address, telephone number and PayPal email address.

3.4You represent and warrant that: (i) you have the legal right to use any debit or credit card or other payment method in connection with any Order; and (ii) the information you supply to us is true, correct and complete. By submitting this information, you grant us the right to pass it to payment processing third parties for the purposes of completing your Order.

3.5To purchase a Course you must pay directly through our Website. Courses purchased from this Website are intended for your use only. You warrant that any Course purchased by you is not for resale, and that you are acting as principal only and not as agent for another party when receiving the Course. Courses purchased through our Website must not be distributed or shared with anyone.

3.6We will take all reasonable care, as far as it is in our power, to keep the details of your Order and payment secure. However, in the absence of negligence on our part we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorised access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from the Website.

3.7Once we receive your Order we will send you a confirmation email. If, for any reason, your Order is not accepted by us, we will notify you by email.

3.8Once you have purchased a Course from uAcademy, you will be provided with access within 24 hours. This can be extended if further checks are required.

04Prices and payments

4.1All prices listed on the Website are correct at the time of publication, but we reserve the right to alter them in the future. We also reserve the right to alter the Courses available for sale on the Website and to discontinue any Course.

4.2You can pay by debit or credit card. Your card details are encrypted to prevent them being read as they are transmitted over the internet. Your card issuer or bank may carry out security checks to confirm it is you making the Order.

4.3All Course bookings made by you are subject to these Terms and Conditions. Course Fees may change, and we will publish any change on our Website. Once you have received a confirmed booking and paid the Course Fee, the fee for your Course will not be altered.

4.4Course Fees do not include the cost of examination or registration fees charged by an awarding body such as LIBF. You are responsible for booking and paying for your exams separately.

05Subscriptions (historic customers only)

5.1Where a student is on an existing Subscription, they will continue to be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis (daily, weekly, monthly or annually), depending on the type of Subscription plan originally selected.

5.2At the end of each period, the Subscription will automatically renew under the same conditions unless you cancel it or the Company cancels it.

5.3You may cancel your Subscription renewal through your Account settings page or by contacting the Company via our contact form.

5.4You will not receive a refund for fees already paid for your current Subscription period. You will be able to access the Service until the end of that period.

5.5Any initial sign-up fee for a historic Subscription is non-refundable.

5.6The Company, at its sole discretion and at any time, may modify Subscription fees. Any change will become effective at the end of the then-current Subscription period.

5.7We will provide you with reasonable prior notice of any change in Subscription fees to give you an opportunity to terminate your Subscription before the change becomes effective.

5.8Continued use of the Service after a fee change takes effect constitutes your agreement to pay the modified Subscription fee.

5.9Subscription fees are non-refundable. Certain refund requests for Subscriptions may be considered by the Company on a case-by-case basis and granted at our sole discretion.

06Online courses

6.1Once we have received your payment, you will receive access to your Course within 24–72 hours.

6.2We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited, personal, revocable, worldwide licence to access the Course(s) for which you have paid.

6.3You must not:

• licence, sub-licence, sell, resell, transfer, assign, distribute or otherwise commercially exploit or make available to any third party the Course(s), the content of our Courses, or any part of our Website;
• modify or create derivative works based on the Course;
• embed the Service as an “iframe” or “frame” from within another application;
• reverse engineer or access the Website or the Course in order to (a) build a competing product or service, (b) build a product using ideas, features, functions or graphics similar to the Website or Course, or (c) copy any ideas, features, functions or graphics of the Service.

Courses cannot be shared or used by more than one individual.

6.4Ownership of the copyright and all other intellectual property rights in the course material and other documents provided to you vests in us absolutely. You have no right to copy, reproduce, licence, sell, distribute or otherwise deal with this material in any manner without our express written consent.

08Account suspension

8.1We are entitled to cancel or suspend your account with us if we reasonably consider or suspect that you have acted in breach of these Terms and Conditions. Any failure to pay fees on time shall constitute a breach of these Terms, entitling us to terminate or suspend your access to the Course.

15“As is” and “as available” disclaimer

The Service is provided to you “as is” and “as available”, with all faults and defects and without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, the Company — on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates and its and their respective licensors and service providers — expressly disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise, with respect to the Service. This includes all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement, and warranties that may arise from course of dealing, course of performance, usage or trade practice.

Without limitation, the Company provides no warranty or undertaking, and makes no representation of any kind, that the Service will meet your requirements, achieve any intended results, be compatible or work with any other software, applications, systems or services, operate without interruption, meet any performance or reliability standards, or be error-free — or that any errors or defects can or will be corrected.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain types of warranties or limitations on applicable statutory rights of a consumer, so some or all of the above exclusions and limitations may not apply to you. In such cases, the exclusions and limitations set out in this section shall be applied to the greatest extent enforceable under applicable law.

This limitation of liability does not apply to personal injury or death arising as a direct result of our negligence.
