This agreement covers the Terms of Use for online services and access to our website.

These Terms govern your use of the website and all services provided in connection with the website.

By using the website, you confirm that you have accepted and will comply with these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use, please do not use the website.

YOUR ACCOUNT

You can access several areas of the website without registering your details with us. But you need an account for most of the services areas to make payments and enroll in courses.

To use the website, you must be over eighteen years of age.

When setting up an account, you must provide and continue to maintain accurate and complete information, including a valid email address.

You are not allowed to share your account login credentials with anyone. You’re fully responsible for all activity on your account, so make sure to keep your password safe. Let us know at once if you suspect someone else is using your account without permission or suspect any security issues. You may not transfer your account to someone else or use someone else’s account. If you contact us to request access to an account, we will only help you in case you can demonstrate that you are the owner of the account. In the event of the death of a user, the account of that user will be closed.

ENROLLMENT AND ACCESS

When you enroll in a course, you get a license from ener8 Academy to view the course online via the ener8 Academy services and no other use. It is not allowed to transfer or resell courses in any way.

Course instructors grant ener8 Academy a license to offer a license to the course to students. So, ener8 Academy has the right to sublicense the course to the students who enroll in the course. When you enroll in a course as a student, you are getting a license from ener8 Academy to view the course online via the ener8 Academy platform and services, and ener8 Academy is the licensor of record. Courses are licensed and not sold to you. This license does not give you any right to resell the course in any manner. Sharing account information or illegally downloading the course is strictly forbidden.

In other words, ener8 Academy grants you as a student a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and view the courses and related content for which you have paid all necessary fees, solely for your personal, non-commercial, educational purposes through the services, per these Terms of Use and any conditions or restrictions associated with a particular course or feature of our services. All other uses are forbidden. You may not reproduce, redistribute, transmit, assign, sell, broadcast, rent, share, lend, modify, adapt, edit, create derivative works of, sublicense, or otherwise transfer or use any course.

We generally give a lifetime access license to our students when they enroll in a course. However, we reserve the right to revoke any license to access and use courses at any point in time in the event where we decide or are obligated to disable access to a course or service.  You will have guaranteed access to the course for at least one year after your enrollment. The lifetime access does not apply to add-on features and services related to a course, such as virtual and Q&A sessions. For the sake of good order, the lifetime access is to the online course content but not to the instructor.

VIRTUAL AND Q&A SESSIONS

You are responsible to make use of and request private virtual and Q&A sessions if this is covered under your course subscription.

The timing of private virtual and Q&A sessions shall be mutually agreed upon between you and the course trainer and be held within six months after sign-up. Six months after sign-up, the option to have private virtual and Q&A sessions expires unless otherwise agreed.

Minimum 7 working days before a Q&A session, you shall send questions related to the course material to the course trainer. The course trainer will use his best endeavors to address these questions within the available time during the Q&A session.

Virtual and Q&A sessions are limited to the content of the course and can be used to clarify course content at the course trainer’s discretion. Virtual and Q&A sessions cannot be used for new content that is not covered in the course.

PRICING

The listed currency of our online training is US$ unless otherwise specified.

ener8 Academy and course instructors determine the prices of courses on ener8 Academy.

We regularly run promotions and sales for our courses with certain courses only being available at discounted prices for a set period.  The applicable course price will be the price on the date you make payment for the enrollment fee into a course. Some promotions are available only to new users.

For students located in countries where use and sales tax, goods and services tax, or value-added tax applies to consumer sales, we are responsible for collecting and remitting that tax to the proper tax authorities. We may include such taxes into the price or add such taxes at checkout.

PAYMENTS

You agree to use a valid payment method and to pay the enrollment fees for courses. You authorize us to charge your debit or credit card or process other means of payment for those fees. ener8 Academy works with third-party payment processing partners to offer you the most convenient payment methods and keep payment information secure. We reserve the right to disable access to any course for which we have not received adequate payment.

REFUNDS

You enroll in courses. You are not purchasing products that you use and then return if they don’t fit. After access is granted and due to the sensitive, proprietary nature of the copyrighted content, ener8 Academy does not refund course fees for any reason. Like college or university classes, you cannot request a refund from the instructor once you’ve enrolled in the course.

We only provide access to a limited number of high-quality courses relevant to the industries we cover. We also offer students a lot of information upfront to help to decide to enroll or not.

PROMOTIONS

ener8 Academy or our partners may offer promotional codes. These promotional codes may expire if not used within the period specified and may not be refunded for cash.
