You service provider’s website and services (collectively, the “Website”) are powered by Viewcy.com, Inc. (“Viewcy,” “we” or “us”), which provides tools, functionality and user experience to your service provider.

Viewcy provides its computing applications and services, and the data, information, tools, functionality, updates and similar materials delivered or provided by Viewcy to your service provider (collectively, the “Service”), subject to your agreement to and compliance with the conditions set forth in this Terms and Conditions Agreement (the “Agreement”). This Agreement sets forth the legally binding terms and conditions governing your use of the Service through your service provider. By creating an account to use the Service or otherwise entering into this Agreement, you are creating a binding contract with Viewcy.
Viewcy may revise or update the Terms and Conditions by posting an amended Agreement through the Service and making you aware of the revisions. Your use of the Service following an update to this Agreement is considered acceptance of the updated Agreement. If you do not accept the changes, you must stop using the Service.
LICENSE
As long as you are in compliance with the conditions of this Agreement and all incorporated documents, Viewcy hereby grants you a limited, revocable, non-assignable, non-transferrable, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive license to use and access the Service only on your computing device for personal use.

SERVICE PROVIDER
You understand and agree that Viewcy licenses a software platform to its licensees, and Viewcy does not actually operate the websites offering services to you. Any complaints or claims you have with the websites or providers offering you services should be raised directly with such providers. You covenant not to bring any claims against Viewcy arising out of the conduct of such providers.
CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY
Viewcy manages the online payment system for the Service. Fees for classes, courses and other services that you obtain from third-party providers on the Service are charged to your selected payment method on the day identified for the rendering of the service. These fees are held in escrow until the third day after the services are identified to be rendered.
Please refer to the terms of sale provided by your third-party provider to determine what cancellation policy (if any) may be applicable to your purchase. If no cancellation policy is present, you may cancel a purchase up to twenty four (24) hours before it is scheduled to be rendered.
No refund mechanism is available through the Service after the release to your third-party service provider of your fees from escrow. If your third-party service provider has a refund policy, and you would like a refund before your fees are released from escrow, please contact your service provider, who will report your request to Viewcy. If your third-party service provider has a refund policy, and you would like a refund after your fees are released from escrow, you must make separate arrangements with your third-party service provider outside of the Service.
