You confirm that in entering into this Agreement you do not rely on any representation, statement, assurance or warranty (whether executed ignorantly or negligently) that is not set out in these Terms, or any document expressly referred to in them.

It is important to acknowledge that neither of us shall have any claim for innocent or neglectful misrepresentation or unconcerned misstatement based on any statement in this Agreement.

Formation of Contract between you and us

Our order process enables you to check and correct any errors before submitting your application to us. Please take the time to read and check your request at each page of the order process.

During the registration and payment process, you will be able to choose which courses you wish to enroll in and your Subscription for each of them. The Subscription options will be made accessible to you and specified during the registration and payment process, and the charges payable will be determined based on the Subscription that you choose.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all Periodic Subscriptions to John Academy will automatically renew, and payment will be taken on a rolling basis following the Subscription chosen until we receive notification from you that you wish to withdraw the Subscription. If you purchase a monthly Periodic Subscription, payment will automatically be deducted on the same date each recurring month for the amount agreed.

A Periodic Subscription in respect of any Course will always be subject to the availability of the Course on our site. We reserve the right to update, revise, or withdraw any Course from our website at any time.

If we cease to provide a Course for which you have purchased a Periodic Subscription, we will inform you of this via e-mail, and you shall have the option to either transfer your Periodic Subscription to an alternative Course or cancel your Periodic Subscription in respect of that Course.

You may choose a Lifetime Access Subscription in respect of access to an individual Course, or a bundle of Courses (as advertised on our site), or to all Courses provided by www.johnacademy.org, (as may be updated and amended from time to time). If you have selected a Lifetime Access or a Periodic Subscription to all Courses, you should check the list of Courses provided by www.johnacademy.org to see any changes in the list of Courses to which you will have access.

A Lifetime Access Subscription in respect of any Course will ever be subject to the availability of the Course on our site. We do not guarantee that our website or any of the content on it (including any Course) will always be available, and we reserve the right to update, amend or withdraw any Course from our site at any time.

Where you have purchased a Lifetime Access Subscription for one Course, and if we cease to provide that Course later, then we will offer you: (a) a Lifetime Access Subscription to an alternative Course, that we believe to be materially equivalent to the Course which has been withdrawn from our site; or (b) an offline copy of the Course which has been removed from our website, for you to keep. In the event that neither a suitable alternative Course or an offline copy of the Course is available, and the Course for which you have purchased a Lifetime Access Subscription is withdrawn from our site in the first 12 months from the date of the Purchase Confirmation, we will, unless there are exceptional circumstances, refund you 50% of the charges you have paid for the Lifetime Access Subscription in respect of that Course.

Where you have purchased a Lifetime Access Subscription for a bundle of Courses, and if we cease to provide a Course included in that bundle, we will offer you: (a) a Lifetime Access Subscription to an alternative Course, that we deem to be materially equivalent to the Course which has been withdrawn from our site; or (b) an offline copy of the Course which has been removed from our website, for you to keep. In the event that neither a suitable alternative Course or an offline copy of the Course is available, and the Course for which you have purchased a Lifetime Access Subscription is withdrawn from our site in the 12 months from the date of the Purchase Confirmation, we will, unless there are exceptional circumstances, refund you a proportional amount of the fees you have paid for the Lifetime Access Subscription.

Where you have purchased a Lifetime Access Subscription to all Courses, and if we cease to provide a Course included in that Subscription, we will offer you an offline copy of the Course which has been withdrawn from our site, where such a copy is available.

You will be required to pay the applicable charges before being given access to the Courses following your Subscription. If your payment is declined, not authorized or is otherwise unsuccessful, we reserve the right to restrict your access to the Courses.

If you have any promotional code entitling you to use any of the Courses at a discounted rate, you must input that promotional code before making your payment. You will not be entitled to a refund of the Charges, or any part of them if you subsequently notify us that you have any promotional code.

After you place an order, we will confirm your order by sending you an e-mail mentioning Purchase Confirmation. The contract between us will only be made when we send you the Purchase Confirmation.

If we are unable to supply you with the Course, for example, because the Course is no longer available or because of an error in the price on our site, we will notify you of this via e-mail, and we will not process your order. If you have already paid for your order, we will refund you the full amount as soon as possible.

Price

The prices of the Courses will be as quoted on our site from time to time. We take all reasonable consideration to ensure that the prices are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. Prices for our Courses may vary from time to time, but changes will not affect any order which we have approved with a Purchase Confirmation.

Our site contains a large number of Courses, and it is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Courses on our site may be inaccurately priced. If we discover an error in the price of the Courses you have ordered, we will inform you of this error, and we will give you the option of continuing with the order at the correct price or canceling your order. We will not process your order until we have received your acceptance. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you presented during the order process, we will treat the order as canceled and notify you in writing. Please note that if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been identified by you as a mispricing, we do not have to provide the Course to you at the incorrect or lower price.

How to pay

We receive the following payment methods: Visa, MasterCard, Visa Electron, Maestro, and Amex. We will charge your debit card, credit card or PayPal account immediately after sending you a Purchase Confirmation.

Delivery Policy

After you purchase a course from us, you will receive the login details within 48 hours.

Whenever we revise our terms, we will keep you informed via email and declare the date of the last variation at the top of this page.
