We reserve the right to terminate your use of the site or any related website for committing any of the prohibited uses.

We have the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of our service(s) (or any portion thereof) if we have reasonable grounds to suspect any of our terms have been violated through cheating, plagiarism, submission of non-original work, or other unethical or illegal activity. Certain violations, including but not limited to misuse of exam materials, cheating, and violations of copyright and trademark laws, may also result in civil and/or criminal liability.

In addition, all materials available on or through our site, including all of the trademarks on such materials, are protected by United States and international laws and treaties protecting copyright and trademarks, and are provided to you as part of the program in which you have enrolled solely for your personal use in the associated program. You are not authorized to copy, re-sell, use, reproduce, duplicate, share, download, or transmit any materials for any commercial purposes or for use on behalf of any third parties.

PERSONAL INFORMATION AND CREDIT CARD INFORMATION

The only personal information we collect is information you choose to supply. By enrolling with us, you may be asked to supply certain information relevant to your purchase, including, without limitation, your credit card number, the expiration date of your credit card, your billing address, and your shipping information. You represent and warrant that: (i) you have the legal right to use any credit card(s) or other payment method(s) in connection with any purchase; and (ii) the information you supply is true, correct, and complete. We may employ the use of third-party services for the purpose of facilitating payment and the completion of purchases. By submitting your information, you grant us the right to provide the information to these third parties. You warrant to us that the credit card information that you provide us is correct and is your account. You may not use the billing information or identity of another person or entity without their proper prior authorization. We do not store your credit card information.

You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase and account information for enrollment. You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address and credit card numbers and expiration dates in order for your transaction to be completed. Inaccurate, incomplete, or obsolete information may result in the immediate suspension or termination of your account. You may not use the billing information or identity of another person or entity without proper prior authorization. We reserve the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, remove or edit content, or cancel orders in our sole discretion without notice.

We may also collect non-personally identifiable information. This information may include, for example, computer and server IP addresses, browser versions, referring websites, search terms used, pages most visited, duration and time of visit, and geographic location. This information is collected and stored automatically to track website usage, but this information is not directly linked to you personally.

Your data and information submitted on our website is always encrypted between the web browser and the server to prevent unauthorized access to the information. However, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our reasonable best effort to ensure its security on our systems. As a general rule, we will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information, except when we have your permission, or under special circumstances such as when we believe in good faith that the law requires it.

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time. You understand that your content (not including credit card information), may be transferred unencrypted and involve (a) transmissions over various networks; and (b) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices. Credit card information is always encrypted during transfer over networks.

All references to a “chargeback” refer to a reversal of a credit/debit card charge placed on the site. You agree that you will not chargeback any amounts charged to your credit/debit card. There is no reason for a chargeback to ever be filed. If a credit is due, simply contact us and we will gladly issue it. Unnecessary chargebacks are theft and can be prosecuted. If you feel that your credit/debit card was used fraudulently on our site, please contact us for immediate resolution. We may permanently suspend your account in the event of an unlawful credit card chargeback or payment dispute.

SATISFACTION GUARANTEE

We offer a thirty (30) day satisfaction guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, please submit a refund request by email within thirty (30) days after you receive your Graduation Package. Prior to the refund being processed, you must, at your own expense, return every item in your Graduation Package to us by a traceable shipping method. We will provide you with a shipping address promptly after we receive your request. A refund will be issued within approximately 72 hours from the acceptance of the returned Graduation Package. The refund amount will be the entire amount paid minus our shipping expenses. You hereby agree that after a refund is issued, your status as a graduate will be terminated from Stone Coast Academy. You certify that you will not use nor display any Stone Coast Academy documents, information, or products in any way or fashion and all the documentation awarded to you by Stone Coast Academy will be permanently deleted.
