Subscription and Purchase

When you subscribe to or purchase a product from ArchEducate LLC that includes a trial period, you are considered a customer of ArchEducate LLC from the moment of initiation of the trial. By starting your subscription and entering your payment information, you agree to the specific duration of the trial period and the commencement of billing after the trial period ends, as clearly indicated on the checkout page. Due to the nature of our digital products and services, including downloadable and streaming content, all sales made through the Site are final. We do not offer refunds or credits for any products purchased through our website. Once a product is purchased, it is considered final, and no refunds will be issued. This includes, but is not limited to, all forms of educational materials, courses, videos, audio content, articles, books (both electronic and physical), and any other resources.

Trial Period

Our products may come with a trial period that allows you to experience the product free of charge for a limited time, as specified at the time of purchase. The duration of the trial period will be visible on the checkout page when you subscribe or purchase the product. Unless you cancel before the end of the trial period, you agree that we may automatically start to charge you for the subscription on the first day following the end of the trial, on a recurring monthly or annual basis according to the subscription plan chosen by you. Your payment details will be charged the applicable subscription fee for your chosen plan.

Cancellation Policy

You have the right to cancel your subscription at any time. If you decide to cancel your subscription during the trial period, you will not be charged. If you cancel after the trial period has ended and after your subscription has begun, you will have access to your subscription until the end of the current billing cycle. You will not be billed for the next billing cycle after cancellation. No refunds or credits for partial subscription periods will be provided.

Please note that the cancellation of a trial or subscription must be done at least 24 hours before the trial or subscription period ends to avoid being charged for the next billing cycle.

Changes to Subscription Plans

ArchEducate LLC reserves the right to modify, terminate, or otherwise amend our offered subscription plans and trial terms at any time in accordance with these Terms. Such changes will not affect any trial period or subscription already paid for unless otherwise stated in the terms of the subscription or trial offer.

Firm License Policy

ArchEducate LLC provides firm licenses based on the number of employees or those pursuing licensure within a firm. Licenses must be applied for via our dedicated firm license page and are assigned to individual employees, prohibiting sharing or use as floating licenses unless specifically authorized by ArchEducate. Violations of license terms may result in penalties including license revocation and legal action. We reserve the right to modify our Firm License policies at any time.
