It is your responsibility to make sure your use of the Services is legal in the country where you live. Services are not available in all languages.

Services are available only to users above 16 years old; however, if you are younger than the required age for consent to use online services where you live, you shall not use the Services but we encourage you to invite a parent or guardian to open an account and help you access content that is appropriate for you.

You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your username or password or any other breach of security. You also agree to ensure that you log out of your account at the end of each session. You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information.

Remove any User Contributions or Submissions for any or no reason, in our sole discretion.
Take any action with respect to any User Contribution that we deem necessary or appropriate in our sole discretion, including if we believe that such User Contribution violates the Terms of Use, infringes any intellectual property right or other right of any person or entity, threatens the personal safety of users of the Services or the public, or could create any liability for Advancity Global.
Disclose your identity or other information about you to any third party who claims that material posted by you violates their rights, including their intellectual property rights or their right to privacy.
Take appropriate legal action, including without limitation, referral to law enforcement, for any illegal or unauthorized use of the Services.

We are not responsible, or liable to you or any third party, for the content or accuracy of any materials provided by any third parties.

8. Linking to the Services and Social Media Features

You may link to our homepage, provided you do so in a way that is fair and legal and does not damage our reputation or take advantage of it, but you must not establish a link in such a way as to suggest any form of association, approval, or endorsement on our part without our express written consent.

The Services may provide certain social media features that enable you to:

Link from your own or certain third-party websites to certain content on this Site.
Send emails or other communications with certain content, or links to certain content, on this Site.
Cause limited portions of content on this Site to be displayed or appear to be displayed on your own or certain third-party websites.

You may use these features solely as they are provided by us and solely with respect to the content they are displayed with. Subject to the foregoing, you must not:

Establish a link from any website that is not owned by you.
Cause the Site or portions of it to be displayed, or appear to be displayed by, for example, framing, deep linking, or in-line linking, on any other site.
Link to any part of the Site other than the homepage.
Otherwise take any action with respect to the materials on this Site that is inconsistent with any other provision of these Terms of Use.

In addition, Advancity Global is not responsible for the accuracy, availability, or reliability of any information, content, goods, data, opinions, advice, or statements made available in connection with social media services. As such, Advancity Global is not liable for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any such social media services. Advancity Global enables these features merely as a convenience and the integration or inclusion of such features does not imply an endorsement or recommendation.

You agree to immediately cooperate with us to cease any unauthorized framing or linking. We reserve the right to withdraw linking permission without notice.

We may disable all or any social media features and any links at any time without notice in our sole discretion.

9. Links from the Services

If we or third parties provide links to other sites and resources provided by third parties, these links are provided for your convenience only. This may include links contained in advertisements, including banner advertisements and sponsored links. We have no control over the contents of those sites or resources, and accept no responsibility for them or for any loss or damage that may arise from your use of them. If you decide to access any of the third-party websites linked from the Services, you do so entirely at your own risk and subject to the terms and conditions of use for such websites. Advancity Global reserves the right to remove any link made available by third parties in the Services.

11. Fees

Advancity Global offers online courses and other Services for a fee. You agree to pay the fees for content that you purchase, and you authorize Advancity Global to charge you for the Services with your selected payment method. The fees will be charged whether you use the purchased Services or not. You are responsible for paying all fees charged by Advancity Global and any applicable taxes in a timely manner. We reserve the right to disable or remove access to any content for which we have not received adequate payment.

Fees may vary based on your location and other factors. If you are logged into your account, the currency you will see is based on your location when you created your account. However, the final fees charged to you will always be calculated in the local currency; therefore, the final fees charged to you may vary depending on prevailing currency exchange rates offered by our payment providers.

We occasionally run promotions and sales for our content, during which certain content is available at discounted prices for a set period of time. The price applicable to the content will be the price at the time you complete your purchase of the content.

You shall provide Advancity Global information regarding your credit card or other payment instrument. You represent and warrant that (a) such information is true, accurate, current, and complete and that you are authorized to use this payment instrument and (b) you shall maintain and promptly update such information to keep it true, accurate, current, and complete. You agree that Advancity Global may update your payment methods using information provided to us by our payment service providers and you authorize us to continue to charge the then-applicable fees to your updated payment method.

Advancity Global reserves the right, at any time, to change any fees or to start charging for any free Service at its sole discretion. Any change, update, or modification will be effective immediately upon posting through the relevant Services (such changes will not apply to fees paid prior to the time of the change).

Please note that due to mobile platform providers’ pricing systems and their policies, sometimes the price of content offered on Advancity Global’s website may not be the same as the price offered on our mobile applications.

12. Refunds

Our refund policy differs between one-time payments for courses and other subscription services. However, the following guidelines apply to both:

Refunds are not available for accounts that violate these Terms of Use or, according to Advancity Global's sole and absolute discretion, are otherwise objectionable.
If Advancity Global determines that you are abusing our refund policy, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse or restrict any and all current or future use of the Service without delivering a refund.
To request a refund please contact us through our Web Form.
Advancity Global will apply your refund to your original payment method.
Unfortunately, at this time, we are unable to offer partial refunds for your purchases.

If within the first 14 days after you purchased a course you become dissatisfied with that course, Advancity Global will refund the full amount of your purchase and subsequently terminate your access to that course. Refunds will not be available if requested after this 14-day period.

Due to possible currency exchange rate fluctuations, the refunded amount may be slightly higher or lower than your original paid amount.

If you purchase a course or any other paid service through a mobile or third-party marketplace, the refund policy applicable to that third-party marketplace will apply, unless otherwise explicitly stated by Advancity Global. Except as otherwise explicitly stated by Advancity Global, the third-party marketplace will be solely responsible for making refunds under its refund policy, and Advancity Global will have no refund obligations. Advancity Global disclaims any responsibility or liability related to any third-party marketplace's refund policy or the third party's compliance or noncompliance with such policy.

13. Intellectual Property Rights

14. Termination

Advancity Global has the right to:

Remove any User Contributions or Submissions for any or no reason, in our sole discretion.
Take any action with respect to any User Contribution that we deem necessary or appropriate in our sole discretion, including if we believe that such User Contribution violates the Terms of Use, infringes any intellectual property right or other right of any person or entity, threatens the personal safety of users of the Services or the public, or could create any liability for Advancity Global.
