The material contained within the courses on the Website is provided without any guarantees, conditions or warranties as to its accuracy.

Content Enrollment and Access
When you enroll in a course or other content, you get a license from us to view it via the IMC Academy’s Services and no other use. Do not try to transfer or resell content in any way. We generally grant you a lifetime access license, except when we must disable the content because of legal or policy reasons or for enrollments via Subscription Plans.
Under our Instructor Terms, when instructors publish content on IMC Academy, they grant IMC Academy a license to offer a license to the content to students. This means that we have the right to sublicense the content to enrolled students. As a student, when you enroll in a course or other content, whether it is free or paid content, you are getting a license from IMC Academy to view the content via the IMC Academy platform and Services, and IMC Academy is the licensor of record. Content is licensed, and not sold, to you. This license does not give you any right to resell the content in any manner (including by sharing account information with a purchaser or illegally downloading the content and sharing it on torrent sites).
We generally give a lifetime access license to our students when they enroll in a course or other content. However, we reserve the right to revoke any license to access and use any content at any point in time in the event where we decide or are obligated to disable access to the content due to legal or policy reasons, for example, if the course or other content you enrolled in is the object of a copyright complaint, or if we determine it violates our Trust & Safety Guidelines. This lifetime access license does not apply to enrollments via Subscription Plans or to add-on features and services associated with the course or other content, you enroll in. For example, instructors may decide at any time to no longer provide teaching assistance or Q&A services in association with the content. To be clear, the lifetime access is to the course content but not to the instructor. Instructors may not grant licenses to their content to students directly, and any such direct license shall be invalid and a violation of these Terms.
Payments, Credits, and Refunds
- Pricing:
The prices of content on IMC Academy are determined based on the Instructor Terms and our Promotions Policy. In some instances, the price of content offered on the IMC Academy website may not be the same as the price offered on our mobile applications, due to mobile platform providers’ pricing systems and their policies around implementing sales and promotions.
We occasionally run promotions and sales for our content, during which certain content is available at discounted prices for a set period. The price applicable to the content will be the price at the time you complete your purchase of the content (at checkout). Any price offered for particular content may also be different when you are logged into your account from the price available to users who are not registered or logged in, because some of our promotions are available only to new users.
- Payment:
You agree to pay the fees for content that you purchase, and you authorize us to charge your debit or credit card or process other means of payment (PayPal, direct debit, or mobile wallet) for those fees. IMC Academy works with payment service providers to offer you the most convenient payment methods in your country and to keep your payment information secure. We may update your payment methods using information provided by our payment service providers. Check out our Privacy Policy for more details.
When you make a purchase, you agree not to use an invalid or unauthorized payment method. If your payment method fails and you still get access to the content you are enrolling in, you agree to pay us the corresponding fees within fifteen (15) days of notification from us. We reserve the right to disable access to any content for which we have not received adequate payment.
- Gift and Promotional Codes
IMC Academy or our partners may offer gift and promotional codes to students. Certain codes may be redeemed for gift or promotional credits applied to your account, which then may be used to purchase eligible content on our platform, subject to the terms included with your codes. Other codes may be directly redeemable for specific content.
These codes and credits, as well as any promotional value linked to them, may expire if not used within the period specified in your account. Gift and promotional codes offered by IMC Academy not refunded for cash, unless otherwise specified in the terms included with your codes or as required by applicable law. Gift and promotional codes offered by a partner are subject to that partner’s refund policies.
Subscription Terms
This section covers additional terms that apply to your use of our subscription-based collections as a student (“Subscription Plans”). By using a Subscription Plan, you agree to the additional terms in this section. Note that use of IMC Academy Business is not subject to these Terms but is instead governed by the agreement between IMC Academy and the subscribing organization.
- Subscription Plans:
During your subscription to a Subscription Plan, you get a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license from us to access and view the content included in that Subscription Plan via the Services. With the exception of the lifetime access license grant, the terms included in the “Content Enrollment and Lifetime Access” section above apply to enrollments via Subscription Plans.
The subscription that you purchase or renew determines the scope, features, and price of your access to a Subscription Plan. You may not transfer, assign, or share your subscription with anyone else.
We reserve the right to revoke any license to use the content in our Subscription Plans for legal or policy reasons at any time and at our sole discretion, such as if we no longer have the right to offer the content through a Subscription Plan. Additional information on our right to revoke is included in the “Content Enrollment and Lifetime Access” section.
- Account Management:
You may cancel your subscription by following our generalized cancellation steps. If you cancel your subscription to a Subscription Plan, your access to that Subscription Plan will automatically end on the last day of your billing period. On cancellation, you will not be entitled to receive a refund or credit of any fees already paid for your subscription, unless otherwise required by applicable law. For clarity, cancellation of a subscription does not terminate your IMC Academy account.
- Free Trials & Renewals:
Your subscription may start with a free trial. The duration of the free trial period of your subscription will be specified during sign-up. IMC Academy determines free trial eligibility at our sole discretion and may limit access, eligibility, or duration. We reserve the right to terminate the free trial and suspend your subscription if we determine that you are not eligible.
We will charge the subscription fee for your next billing cycle at the end of the free trial period. Your subscription will automatically renew according to your subscription settings (e.g., monthly or annually) unless you cancel your subscription prior to the end of the free trial period. For more information on how to view applicable fees and dates of your free trial period, Contact Our Support Team.
