Free Account and Paid Plans
We provide you with a free account to evaluate and use the Services. If you choose to upgrade your account to a paid account, you must first provide your billing details based on your selected plan.
Once you have subscribed to a paid plan, you will pay us the monthly or annual fee for the plan (along with any applicable taxes or duties) as set out on our website pricing page. We can change the fee schedule at any time if we provide you with 30 days’ notice by any means, including email.
You agree that you will pay all charges according to your selected plan. You can’t withhold payment or claim any set-off without getting our written approval.
If at any time you do not make a payment to us when You are supposed to, we can choose to suspend or terminate Your use of the Service, after an emailed warning, with 30 days notice.
We require 30 days notice to fully close an account. For example if your billing cycle ends on the 15th of the month, you must cancel before the 14th in order to not be billed for one more cycle. The services we provide will be discontinued the day that your billing cycle ends. If you had prepaid credits before signing up for a subscription, once you cancel your subscription you will get those credits back.
If your service is suspended or cancelled by You this may affect learner’s access to courses. Learners may find that they cannot access courses they have permissions to.
You can upgrade or downgrade your plan at anytime at a prorated rate for the remainder of that billing period. Overages will be billed immediately at a prorated rate for the remainder of that billing period and your next billing period will be based on the current amount of “active users” in the system.
An “active user” or “unique login” is any trainer or trainee who signs in during the billing period. Once a user has become “active” for the 30 day period, there is no limit to the number of times they can login.
Refunds will be given on a discretionary basis.
