It provides User with access to the Digital Content and/or Services which they are authorized to use as the Authorized User (section A.4.1) according to the User’s rights of use for Digital Content (section B.2.7) and/or the specific terms for the relevant Service. This means:
        1. User may not let other persons (including other persons affiliated with the same Institutional Customer) use their User Account and/or any Digital Content and/or Services which can be accessed from their User Account.
        2. User may not give other persons access to downloaded Digital Content or share downloaded Digital Content with other persons in any form.
        3. User may not give other persons access to any results created using a Service or share such results unless expressly authorized to do so under the applicable terms of the relevant Service (clause A.1.1).

        2. Where User is responsible for third-party use of their User Account due to noncompliance with said obligations, User shall be liable for all consequences, including payment for orders.
        3. Forward Academy Inc may suspend or terminate a User Account after a warning or immediately in order to prevent misuse. In such event, User may not re-register without Forward Academy’s prior written consent. The suspension or termination of the User Account shall not affect Forward Academy’s right to continue to use User content already submitted by User.
5. Ordering products
  1. User may put any Product in the shopping cart by clicking the relevant button on the Product page. User can review the content of the shopping cart at any time and may alter the number of copies (for goods only) or remove Products from the shopping cart or terminate the order process before submitting their order.
  2. By clicking the confirmation button, User submits their order. Forward Academy Inc will send User a confirmation of receipt; subject to clause A.5.3 the contract is concluded upon such confirmation. The contract will not be filed and will not be accessible to User, but Forward Academy will include the Terms and Conditions in the confirmation email.
  3. Should the payment process not be completed successfully, i.e. Forward Academy does not receive a confirmation of Customer’s payment from the relevant payment service provider, Forward Academy will not confirm the order, but notify Customer of the failure of payment, and no contract will be deemed made.
6. Refund Policy
  1. An Individual Customer who has their habitual residence in Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia, Oceania or Australia and is acting for purposes which are outside their trade, business, craft or profession (“consumer”), has a statutory right of withdrawal. The conditions for and effects of withdrawal depend on the nature of the Product (section A.2).
  2. There is no right of withdrawal for the following types of contracts:
    1. the supply of Digital Content if the performance has begun with Customer’s prior express consent and Customer’s acknowledgment that Customer thereby loses their right of withdrawal and Forward Academy has sent Customer a confirmation of the contract and said consent and acknowledgement via email;
    2. contracts of Services after the Service has been fully performed if the performance has begun with Customer’s prior express consent, and with the acknowledgement that Customer will lose their right of withdrawal once the contract has been fully performed by Forward Academy Inc.
