We recommend that you choose a strong password whenever you create an Account, consisting for example of a combination of lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols. If you believe your Account is being used without your permission, please contact Us immediately at [email protected]. We will not be liable for any unauthorised use of your Account.

3. Subscriptions

3.1 Access to Our Site is free of charge, but you will have to pay Us a fee to access the full content of each one of Our Courses (the Subscription Fee).

3.2 Full payment of the Subscription Fee for any for-fee Course is due at the time of registration and is payable by debit or credit card. We will give you access to the Course when full payment has been made. The Subscription Fee shall cover the Course registration and participation, and all other Course content. The Subscription Fee gives one (1) person access to the Course and its associated materials for a twelve (12) month period.

3.3 On the anniversary of the twelve (12) month period, the Subscription Fee will be automatically collected from the debit or credit card registered in your Account and your subscription to the corresponding Course will be renewed unless cancelled prior to that date. If you cancel your subscription to a Course at any point during the twelve (12) month period, you will retain access to that Course until the full twelve (12) month period has expired.

3.4 Regardless of your location or local currency, Our Subscription Fees are payable in US Dollars at the net prices advertised in Our Site. You may also have to pay value added tax and/or other taxes in addition to the Subscription Fees depending on your location. If taxes are due on your purchase, We will try to collect and pay those taxes on your behalf, but this may not always be possible. Ultimately, it is your responsibility to make sure all taxes due on the Subscription Fees are paid to the relevant authorities where required.

3.5 All Subscription Fee payments completed in Our Site are collected and processed by Teachable on behalf of ENGYS. You will receive a receipt via email following the purchase of any of Our Courses, including any taxes collected where applicable.

4.2 Once the promotional time period expires, Users must pay the full Subscription Fee to retain full access to the Course. Users who do not pay the full Subscription Fee will be unregistered from any and all Courses for which the promotional code was applicable.


5. Refunds Policy

5.1 Your satisfaction is very important to Us. If you are not satisfied with any of Our Courses, you can contact Us for a refund within 30 days of your purchase. You will receive a pro-rated refund calculated as your Course completion percentage times the Subscription Fee that you have paid for that Course.

5.2 To make a request for a refund, you must submit your request in writing to [email protected]. Once We have received and processed your request, We will notify you via e-mail regarding your refund status.
