10. Pricing for Paid Courses
Key Definitions
“Base Price” means the course price set by the Instructor.
“Base Currency” means the currency of the Base Price.
“Base Exchange Rate” means a system-wide rate used by the Company for foreign currency conversion and does not include any fee or mark-up by the Company. The rate is established using one or more third parties such as Open Exchange Rates and is fixed periodically (e.g. monthly) to prevent daily price fluctuations. Accordingly, the Base Exchange Rate may not be identical to the applicable market rate in effect at the specific time a foreign currency conversion is processed.
“Sale Price” means the actual sale price for the Course. When the Sale Currency is different from the Base Currency, the Company will determine the Sale Price based on the applicable Base Exchange Rate and Cost Adjustment Factor.
“Sale Currency” means the currency of the sale. This is determined by the country of origin of the User purchasing the Course.
“Cost Adjustment Factor” means applicable local taxes and other fees associated with currency conversions. In regions that use a common currency, e.g., the EU, the Cost Adjustment Factor uses a weighted average of country specific tax rates to ensure the same prices to end customers across the region.
Pricing
You agree to pay the fees for Courses that You take, and hereby authorize Us to charge Your credit card for these amounts. We will charge Your credit card monthly for all amounts owed. If Your credit card is declined, You agree to pay Us the fees within thirty (30) days of notification from Us, and pay (at Our discretion) a late payment charge at 1.5% per month, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is greater.
Rounding Off
Company may, in its sole discretion, round up or round down the Sale Price to the nearest whole functional base unit in which the Sale Currency is denominated (e.g. to the nearest dollar, euro or other supported currency); for example, Company will round up an amount of $101.50 to $102.00, and $101.49 to $101.00.
Some currencies are denominated in large numbers. In those cases, Company may determine the functional base unit in which those currencies are denominated to be 10, 100 or 1,000 of the currency; the corresponding examples for such currencies would be for Company to round up an amount of 1,045 up to 1,050 and 1,044 down to 1,040, or 35,450 up to 35,500 and 35,449 down to 35,400, or 837,500 up to 838,000 and 837,499 down to 837,000.
Foreign Currency
Company’s online platform will default the Sale Currency based on Your geographic location. The currency of any transaction will match the Sale Currency displayed to You on the website. You cannot change Your displayed currency.
Each foreign currency conversion is processed at a foreign currency conversion rate. This rate generally refers to the amount of one currency that must be paid to buy a certain amount of another currency at a given time. For example, if it costs US$125.00 to buy €100.00, the currency conversion rate of US dollars to Euros would be 1.25, and the currency conversion rate from Euros to US dollars would be 0.8. Currency conversion rates will vary from time to time.

11. Skill Success Premium
Skill Success Premium, also referred to as All Access Pass, is a paid subscription service that gives You access to a select group of courses for the duration of Your paid subscription being active.
We offer a 10 day refund policy for the first subscription payment made.

Your renewal occurs exactly 30 days after registration, if on the monthly plan, and exactly 365 days after registration, if on the annual plan.
Pausing a subscription will occur on the last day prior to the next renewal payment. For example, if you started your subscription on January 1st and decide to pause your subscription on January 15th, the subscription will pause on January 31st, one day prior to your next scheduled renewal on February 1st.
Limit 1 free trial per customer. If you attempt to use a 2nd free trial, you will be charged the full monthly or annual plan price immediately and will not be eligible for a refund.
Automatic Renewal: Both the Annual and Monthly subscription plans renew automatically at the end of their term. Once you start a trial or become a Member, your subscription will automatically renew and your credit card or other form of payment will be charged on the first day of the new billing cycle.

Please refer to sub-Clause 13.8 for incorrect Services.

If we cannot fulfill your Order within a reasonable period, we will inform you at the time you place the Order by a note on the relevant web page or by contacting you directly after you place your Order. Time is not of the essence of the Contract, which means we will aim to fulfill your Order within any agreed timescales but this is not an essential term of the Contract and we will not be liable to you if we do not do so.
