a.
Subscription Fee. You can access trial Services for free or for a fee as applicable and available at the time of the initial subscription, either of which is referred to as a “Transaction”. Your access to the Services, or certain paid features of the Services, may start with a free trial, subject to you consenting to the Terms, during the period where LumiQ provides this option in its sole discretion. The free trial period of your access to the Services may last as specified during sign-up and is intended to allow users who have never registered (“New Users”) to try the service.

Free trial eligibility is determined by LumiQ in its sole discretion and we may limit eligibility or duration to prevent free trial abuse including, but not limited to, creating multiple accounts. We reserve the right to revoke the free trial and put your account on hold if we determine that you are not eligible for a free trial. We may use information such as device ID, method of payment or an account email address used with an existing or recent LumiQ account to determine eligibility. For combinations with other offers, restrictions may apply.

The Services are offered on a limited or unlimited usage basis for a term of the subscription or until the end of the calendar year for offers whereby you get an unlimited access or an aggregate amount of minutes/credits/data content or limited block of hours to cover your CPD/CPE needs. Our pricing section on the Websites and Applications will indicate the current offers available at the time you subscribe. You have the responsibility to review and confirm from our pricing section posted on our Websites and Applications, which can be updated from time to time at LumiQ’s discretion, provided that the pricing that will apply to your subscription will not be modified by previous or subsequent offers until renewal. Once you have opted for a package, you will be directed to a third-party payment processor site where your financial information may be required. Payment is made in full and in advance or based on the net terms of the invoice. Your subscription will be valid in the manner provided for in the package of your choice, which unless expressly otherwise provided in our pricing section will be either: (i) until the end of the current calendar year; or (ii) the earliest of the expiration of a set number of months or twelve (12) months period; or (iii) the earliest of when the number of minutes/hours/content of your package has been used up, as the case may be. You have the obligation to determine whether you will be in a position to use up all the hours you are subscribing before the expiry of the corresponding term, prior to consent to the payment of the Subscription Fee.

Upon payment for the Services (the “Subscription Fee”), and subject to the Terms and the SaaS Agreement, when applicable, you will hereby be granted a non-exclusive, limited, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license(s), and/or credits/hours to be consumed, to access and use the Services or certain features of the Services on a subscription basis in strict compliance with the Terms (the “Subscription”).
b.
Term and Renewal. The Subscription commences on the date on which the Subscription Fee has been invoiced or billed by LumiQ and ends based on the type of subscription that was purchased, unless otherwise expressly specified in the package you purchased (the “Term”). The Terms will automatically renew within 24 hours on the day following the expiration of the period, each year, for a successive 12-month or calendar year period (the “Renewal Term”) based on your previous subscription, subject to you notifying LumiQ in writing your request to cancel the Services at any time prior to the Renewal Term or within 10 business days after the automatic renewal.

You acknowledge that LumiQ may change the Subscription Fee from time to time and will communicate any changes by updating the pricing section on its Websites and Applications. If the Subscription Fee was modified since you registered, the changes to the Subscription Fee will take effect at renewal regarding your Account. It is your obligation to visit our Websites and Applications prior to the renewal date of the then current Term to review the revised pricing and terms of use. Depending on your mode of payment/third party processor, you may be provided with a notice and an invoice prior to renewal. The renewal notice will also advise of any increase in the Subscription Fee since last calendar year, as applicable. You acknowledge that if your payment mode does not require the issuance of an invoice, the payment of the updated Subscription Fee will be chargeable on the renewal date of the then current Term without prior notice, unless you advise LumiQ in writing prior to the renewal date of your intent to terminate your subscription. You expressly authorize LumiQ to instruct the payment processor of your choice to charge your Account and process payment on the first day of the Renewal term or anytime it is reasonably possible to proceed thereafter. Notwithstanding anything provided herein, you accept to renew at the new pricing by not cancelling, nor objecting to the increase and continuing to use your Subscription and Services after the renewal date.

You authorize LumiQ to maintain your Account information in accordance with the Terms and the Privacy Policy. In the event that there is a default or an issue with the payment of the Subscription Fee at renewal, LumiQ may, in its sole discretion, bill you for the Services and suspend your access to the Services until payment is received.

From time-to-time LumiQ may at its sole discretion issue a one-time discount code or coupon or other special rates instruments (“Special Rates”) to be applied in the time specified by LumiQ at the time of issuance under the terms and conditions specified by LumiQ (“Specific Terms and Conditions”). Such Special Rates are only valid between the dates and times specified in the Specific Terms and Conditions. The Special Rates will not apply to existing subscriptions. If no duration or expiration is specified, LumiQ reserves the right to expire such Special Rates at its sole discretion.
c.
Billing Policies. Except for any free trial period and unpaid features of the Services, the Services are available to Users only on purchase. All prices are in local jurisdiction currency specified by LumiQ, unless otherwise indicated on the generated invoice, and subject to local and federal sales tax, where applicable. Details are provided at the point of purchase. You will be informed of total charges and asked to confirm the transaction before it is charged to your Account. You are responsible for all fees and taxes incurred by the Transactions.

Any change to the fees for paid services shall become effective in the billing cycle following a notice of such change sent to you as provided for in these Terms.

We may also provide certain services via our third-party partners and you agree, that your use of such third party services is subject to the contractual terms presented by such third parties should you wish to use their services. You further agree that LumiQ has no responsibility for such third-party services and your use of such services is entirely at your own risk.
d.
No Refunds. You may cancel your Account at the expiration of the current term by providing prior notice in writing to LumiQ; however, given the nature of the Services, there are no refunds for cancellation. Accordingly, no refunds or credits of any sort will be provided to you. In the event that LumiQ suspends or terminates your Account or these terms for your breach of these terms, or that the term expires prior to you obtaining all your professional development requirements or using up all the number of hours or credits, you understand and agree that you shall receive no refund or exchange for any unused time on a subscription, any Subscription Fees for any portion of the Services, any User Content, LumiQ Content or data associated with your Account, or for anything else. If you did not opt for a payment method whereby a third-party processor will automatically process renewal payment, please contact us directly via email.
e.
Payment, Interest, Dispute Payment. To the extent that the Services or any portion thereof is made available for any fee, you will be required to select a payment method and you will be redirected to a payment processor where you will be subject to the terms and condition and privacy policies of that payment processor and requested to provide consent and accurate information in the manner required. You acknowledge that LumiQ is not the party storing your payment information nor verifying such information. The user is responsible to provide current, complete and accurate information for any billing related to their Account and to promptly notify the payment processor with updated information to allow for payments to be processed in due time. A copy of the invoice will be issued to LumiQ and yourself by the third-party processor. Prior to or upon renewal, we will issue an invoice ahead of the expiration of the Term which shall be payable by the expiry date of the Term, except as otherwise expressly provided for therein. In both cases, the updated pricing in force at the time of renewal will apply.

You represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the payment instrument. You agree that LumiQ will be authorized to instruct payment processors to process payment at renewal and except if you have opted out or cancelled in the manner provided herein. If at any time LumiQ is required by a taxing authority to pay any taxes not previously collected from you, you will promptly submit such taxes, including applicable penalties and interest, if any, to LumiQ upon written notice.

Late payments may bear interest at the rate of 1% above prime rate per month, which will accrue annually from the payment due date until paid in full. You will be responsible for all reasonable expenses, including legal fees, incurred by LumiQ in collecting outstanding amounts.

If you dispute any charges you must inform LumiQ within 30 days after the date that LumiQ charges you. LumiQ reserves the right to reject any payment instrument in its sole discretion.
f.
Additional considerations for access through Mobile App. You will have to independently enter into a separate agreement regarding the use of mobile applications whenever provided through third parties, in which case you are entirely responsible for obtaining access subject to them agreeing to the terms and conditions in place and compliance with such third parties’ terms and conditions.

Once the Mobile App is available to the Users with proper agreement in place with third-party providers, as applicable, then upon payment for the Subscription Fee, or the paid features of the Services or the Special Rates, as applicable, the User will be authorized to access such Services or paid features thereof via a mobile or tablet device as such software may be amended, updated or otherwise changed from time to time (“Mobile App”). To use the Mobile App you must have a mobile device that is compatible with the Services and properly subscribe to the terms applicable if the Mobile App is provided through a third-party.

Once the Mobile App has been installed on your end and upon the payment for the Services, LumiQ will hereby grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use a compiled code copy of the Mobile App for one LumiQ Account on any mobile device owned or leased solely by you, for your personal use. You acknowledge that LumiQ may from time to time issue upgraded versions of the Mobile App, and may automatically electronically upgrade the version of the Mobile App that you are using on your mobile device. You consent to such automatic upgrading on your mobile device, and agree that the terms and conditions of these terms will apply to all such upgrades. Any third-party code that may be incorporated in the Mobile App is covered by the applicable open source or third-party license, if any, authorizing use of such code.

20. DISPUTES/ARBITRATION/CHOICE OF FORUM

Your satisfaction with the Services is important to LumiQ. If you have a complaint regarding the Services, or with respect to any provision of the Terms, you must first submit your complaint directly to LumiQ at help@lumiqlearn.com. LumiQ will review your complaint and seek to answer the complaint as soon as reasonably possible.

If your complaint is not resolved to your reasonable satisfaction within 30 days of making the complaint, you agree to resolve the complaint by final and binding arbitration to the extent mandatory arbitration is permitted by applicable law. The arbitration will be conducted in the province of Ontario, Canada,, in accordance with the commercial arbitration laws and rules in Ontario, Canada. The complaint shall not be made the subject matter of an action in any court unless the complaint has first been submitted to arbitration and finally determined in arbitration. Any such action commenced thereafter shall only be for the purpose of enforcing the arbitration decision and the costs incidental to the action.

21. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

The Parties agree that irreparable harm can occur in the event that the provisions of the Terms regarding the authorized use of the LumiQ Content were otherwise breached for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy at law. It is accordingly agreed that we shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions and other equitable relief to prevent such breaches of the Terms, in a court of competent jurisdiction without proof of actual damages (and without the requirement of posting a bond or other security) and the Receiving Party agrees not to plead sufficiency of damages as a defense in any such proceeding.

Geographic Restriction. The Services are controlled and operated by LumiQ from within Canada.

For certainty, this shall not apply to the SaaS agreements that remain in place between LumiQ and third parties independently.
g.
Severability. If any provision of the Terms is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of The Terms, which shall remain in full force and effect.
