If amendments materially affect the rights, obligations, or legal position of Users—for example, changes relating to pricing structures, licensing conditions, consumer rights, or dispute procedures—the Company will make reasonable efforts to notify Users in advance through:
- email communication sent to the email address associated with the User’s Personal Account; and/or

2.4. User’s Right to Reject Updated Terms
If a User does not accept the updated version of this Agreement, they must cease all use of the Site, discontinue accessing digital content, and (if desired) close their Personal Account. Continued use of the Site after the publication of revised terms constitutes express acceptance of the updated Agreement.
3. Account Registration
3.1. Account Security
Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of their login credentials, including their username, password, and any additional authentication mechanisms provided by the Company.
By creating an account, the User agrees to:
- use a strong, unique password;
- prevent unauthorized individuals from accessing their Personal Account;
- avoid storing login credentials in insecure environments;
- immediately notify the Company at [email protected] if they suspect unauthorized access, a security breach, password compromise, or any unusual account activity.
The Company is not liable for losses resulting from User negligence in safeguarding account credentials.
3.2. Information Accuracy
Users must provide accurate, current, and complete information during the Registration process and ensure that such information remains updated throughout the term of their use.
The User acknowledges that:
- any false, incomplete, or misleading information may result in restricted access or account termination;
- they are fully responsible for all actions taken through their Personal Account, including unauthorized use unless previously reported according to Section 3.1;
- the Company may request additional verification (such as confirming an email address) to ensure account authenticity and security.
3.3. Credential Sharing Prohibited
The sharing, transferring, or otherwise disclosing of login credentials—including passwords, access tokens, or authentication codes—with third parties is strictly prohibited.
Users agree that:
- their Personal Account is intended solely for their individual, non-commercial use;
- sharing access may constitute a breach of this Agreement and result in suspension or termination;
- the Company may monitor unusual or concurrent access patterns for fraud-prevention purposes in compliance with GDPR.
Any access performed using valid credentials is presumed to be authorized by the User unless proven otherwise.

The Site is intended exclusively for individuals who are 18 years of age or older. By creating an account, the User represents and warrants that:
- they meet the legal age requirement;
- they possess the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract under the laws of their jurisdiction.
The Company reserves the right to request age verification if necessary to comply with legal or regulatory obligations.
3.5. Account Closure
Users may close or delete their Personal Account at any time by contacting customer support or using the available account management tools.
The User acknowledges that:
- account closure is permanent and irreversible;
- personal data associated with the User may be deleted or anonymized in accordance with the Privacy Policy;
- under the EU Digital Content Directive, continued access to digital content may require an active Personal Account, meaning that deleting the account may result in the loss of access to previously purchased digital content if its provision is technically dependent on account-based authentication.
The Company strongly recommends downloading any permitted materials before requesting account deletion, where applicable.
4. Access to Digital Content
4.1. License Grant
Upon completing a purchase on the Site, the User is granted the right to access the selected digital educational materials (“Content”) for personal, private, and non-commercial use only. This access constitutes a limited license to view, stream, or download (where allowed) the Content through the User’s Personal Account.
The User acknowledges and agrees that:
- no physical product is delivered;
- the Company provides digital access only, not ownership;
- access may require an active and functioning Personal Account;
- continued access may depend on technical availability, compliance with this Agreement, and lawful use of the Content.
4.2. Scope and Nature of the License
Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, the license granted to the User has the following characteristics:
-
Non-exclusive:
The User does not obtain exclusive rights, and others may simultaneously use the same Content. -
Non-transferable:
The User may not sell, rent, lend, lease, sublicense, or otherwise transfer access to the Content to any third party. -
Revocable:
The Company may suspend or revoke access if the User violates this Agreement, engages in unlawful activity, breaches copyright, attempts unauthorized distribution, or abuses the platform. -
No granting of ownership:
All intellectual property rights, including copyrights and related rights in the Content, remain the sole property of the Company or its licensors. Purchasing access to the Content does not imply any transfer, assignment, or sale of ownership rights.
The license is intended solely for learning purposes and is limited to the duration specified on the Site or until the User’s account is terminated, whichever occurs first.
4.3. Restrictions on Use
The User agrees to use the Content strictly in accordance with this Agreement and applicable intellectual property laws.
Without the Company’s explicit written permission, the User must not:
-
Copy or redistribute Content
This includes prohibitions on:- uploading or sharing course materials on third-party platforms (e.g., social media, file-sharing websites, forums);
- distributing downloads or screenshots;
- sharing lecture recordings or learning assets with others.
-
Create derivative works
The User may not:- modify, translate, remix, adapt, re-edit, or otherwise create new materials based on the Company’s Content;

-
Share access with third parties
The User may not:- provide login credentials to others;
- allow any third party to access the Content through their Personal Account;
- use screen-sharing, projected viewing, or similar tools to broadcast Content to non-paying individuals.
-
Use Content commercially without written consent
This includes:- reselling or licensing the Content;
- using the Content in paid courses, workshops, consultations, or educational programs;
- incorporating the materials into business operations, marketing materials, or professional services.
Any commercial or public use requires prior, written, explicit permission from the Company.
5. Delivery of Digital Content
5.1. Method of Delivery
Upon the successful completion of payment, the Company delivers the purchased digital content exclusively through the User’s Personal Account on the Site. The User may access the materials via sections such as “My Courses”, “Downloads”, or other dedicated content-access modules. Digital content is not delivered in physical form.
Delivery occurs by:
- granting access to streaming or downloadable course materials;
- enabling viewing of lessons, modules, or educational resources;
- unlocking the purchased content within the User’s Personal Account.
The User must ensure that they have:
- a stable internet connection;
- compatible hardware and software;
- access credentials for their Personal Account.
The Company is not responsible for accessibility problems caused by the User’s devices, internet provider, or other external factors beyond the Company’s control.
5.2. Delivery Timing and EU Consumer Rights
The delivery of digital content takes place immediately or within a very short period after the payment is confirmed, in accordance with the Company’s obligation under the EU Digital Content Directive (Directive (EU) 2019/770) to provide access without undue delay.
In particular:
- In most cases, access is granted instantly after successful payment processing.
- If the system requires additional verification (e.g., fraud prevention checks), access may be slightly delayed.
- If a temporary technical issue prevents immediate delivery, the Company will work to restore access as soon as reasonably possible.
The User agrees that by choosing immediate access, they acknowledge their right of withdrawal may be limited or waived, as permitted under EU law for digital content supplied before the withdrawal period expires.
6. Pricing, Payment & Refunds
6.1. Pricing and Taxes
All prices listed on the Site are stated in the applicable currency and may change at any time. The price shown at checkout at the moment of purchase is the final price the User agrees to pay.
Prices may vary depending on:
- the User’s location,
- applicable regulatory requirements,
- currency conversion rules,
- promotional or seasonal pricing adjustments.
Price changes do not affect purchases already completed by the User.
6.2. Payment Methods and Processing
Payment for digital content must be made using one of the approved payment methods displayed at checkout. These may include, but are not limited to:
- debit or credit cards,
- online payment processors,
- digital wallets,
- other payment services made available based on region.
By completing a purchase, the User:
- authorizes the Company (and its payment processors) to charge the selected payment method for the full purchase amount;
- confirms that they are legally authorized to use the payment method provided;
- acknowledges that payment processors may apply their own terms and privacy policies, for which the Company is not responsible.
Payment is considered completed only when the Company receives confirmation from the payment processor. If a payment is declined or reversed, access to the corresponding digital content may be suspended or revoked.
6.3. Refund Policy (EU-Compliant)
The Company adheres to European consumer protection laws governing digital content, including the EU Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU and the EU Digital Content Directive 2019/770.
Waiver of Withdrawal Rights for Immediately Delivered Digital Content
Under EU law, once the User:
- expressly requests immediate access to the purchased digital content, and
- acknowledges that this action waives their statutory right of withdrawal,
the User no longer has the right to cancel the purchase simply because they changed their mind. This rule applies because digital content is delivered immediately and cannot be “returned.” The Site clearly informs Users of this requirement at checkout.
Company’s Voluntary 30-Day Refund Guarantee
In addition to mandatory EU rights, the Company provides a voluntary 30-day refund policy for most purchases. A refund may be granted if all of the following conditions are met:
- The User has not fully consumed, viewed, or downloaded all course materials;
- The content is proven to be defective, inaccessible, significantly malfunctioning, or materially different from the description provided on the Site;
- The User submits a refund request within 30 days of purchase;
- The issue cannot be reasonably resolved through troubleshooting or re-delivery.
This policy is designed to enhance consumer trust and ensure fair treatment of Users, beyond the minimum obligations established by EU law.
Refund Method and Processing Time
Approved refunds will:
- be issued to the original payment method used for the transaction;
- not include transaction fees retained by third-party payment processors, where applicable and non-refundable;
- be processed within a reasonable period, typically 5–10 business days, depending on the payment provider.
The Company may decline refund requests that:
- fall outside the 30-day period,
- relate to fully consumed digital content,
- arise from User error, device incompatibility, or issues unrelated to the digital content itself.

Where national laws grant additional, non-waivable consumer rights, those rights remain fully applicable.

All intellectual property rights related to the Site and its digital ecosystem—including but not limited to trademarks, logos, branding elements, visual designs, layout, graphics, text, videos, downloadable materials, software code, databases, instructional content, and any other proprietary materials—are the exclusive property of XETRIX LIMITED or its authorized licensors.

10. General Legal Terms
10.1. Severability
If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable under EU law or the mandatory consumer protection laws of an EU Member State, such provision shall be interpreted in a manner that most closely reflects the Parties’ original intent while remaining lawful.
If such interpretation is not possible, the invalid provision shall be severed from the Agreement, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalidity of one clause does not affect the validity or enforceability of the rest of the Agreement.
10.2. No Waiver of Rights
Failure by the Company to enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision, nor shall it be interpreted as a waiver of:
- any future enforcement of the same right or provision, or
- the enforcement of any other rights under the Agreement.
Any waiver must be explicitly stated in writing to be legally effective.
10.3. Governing Law and Legal Framework
Because Users may access the Site from various jurisdictions within the European Union, the following legal hierarchy applies:
Primary Governing Law
This Agreement is governed by applicable EU consumer protection legislation, including but not limited to the EU Consumer Rights Directive and the EU Digital Content Directive.
Mandatory Local Consumer Protections
If the User is a resident of an EU Member State, any mandatory consumer protection laws of that Member State shall apply and may prevail over conflicting provisions of this Agreement.
-
Supplementary National Law
To the extent not overridden by EU law or mandatory local consumer rights, the Agreement is additionally governed by the laws of Cyprus, where XETRIX LIMITED is incorporated.
Nothing in this Agreement limits or restricts any rights that consumers are entitled to under EU law.
10.4. Intellectual Property Compliance
All content on the Site—including digital materials, software, design elements, trademarks, and graphics—is protected by EU and international intellectual property laws.
The following are strictly prohibited unless expressly authorized in writing by the Company:
- reproducing, copying, or distributing Site materials;
- using Site content for commercial or public purposes;
- modifying, translating, or creating derivative works based on the Content;
- removing copyright notices, watermarks, or ownership identifiers.
Any unauthorized use may result in account suspension, legal action, or claims for damages under EU copyright law.
11. Dispute Resolution (EU-Compliant)
11.1. Informal Resolution of Disputes
Before initiating any formal legal or administrative action, Users agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute, complaint, or concern directly with the Company.
To begin this informal process, Users must contact:
[email protected]
In their communication, Users should:
- describe the issue in reasonable detail;
- provide any relevant transaction information;
- include their full name and the email address associated with their Personal Account.
The Company will make reasonable efforts to investigate and respond to the User’s inquiry promptly and to reach an amicable, mutually acceptable resolution. Engaging in this informal step does not limit the User’s statutory rights under EU consumer law.
11.2. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) & ODR Platform
In accordance with Directive 2013/11/EU on Alternative Dispute Resolution and Regulation (EU) No 524/2013 on Online Dispute Resolution (ODR), Users located within the European Union have the right to submit disputes related to online purchases through the European Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform:
https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/
The ODR platform provides:
- an independent, impartial mechanism for resolving consumer disputes;
- a cost-effective alternative to traditional court proceedings;
- a structured process involving certified ADR bodies.
The Company is not required to participate in a specific ADR procedure unless mandated by law but will comply with all obligations applicable under EU consumer legislation.
11.3. Arbitration (Where Legally Permitted)
In jurisdictions where arbitration is legally recognized and permitted, the Parties may voluntarily agree to resolve disputes through arbitration as an alternative to court proceedings.
However, the following principles apply:
- Arbitration must not deprive EU consumers of their non-waivable rights, including the right to bring claims before the courts of their home EU Member State.
- Participation in arbitration must be voluntary, mutually agreed, and conducted according to fair and transparent procedures.
- Arbitration, where used, shall comply with applicable EU consumer protections and cannot limit statutory remedies.
- Arbitration may be used only to the extent it is consistent with mandatory provisions of EU and national consumer law.
11.4. Class Action Waiver (EU-Law Compliant)
To the extent permitted under applicable law, Users agree that disputes will be handled on an individual basis and not as part of a collective, group, or class action.
However:
- This waiver applies only where allowed under the mandatory consumer protection laws of the User’s EU Member State.
- EU consumers cannot waive rights that are considered fundamental or non-derogable under national or EU consumer law.
- If a class action waiver is deemed unenforceable by a competent authority, the remainder of this Agreement remains valid.
- This clause shall not restrict any statutory mechanisms for collective consumer redress created under EU law (e.g., Representative Actions Directive).
