All such rules or guidelines are hereby incorporated by reference into the Terms of Use. You should check this page regularly to take note of any changes we may have made to the Terms of Use.
Your continued use of the Website constitutes an affirmative, acknowledgment and agreement by you that you accept and agree to abide and be bound by these Terms of Use and any amendments.
These Terms of Use will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Singapore. You irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Singapore. If any provision of this agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of law, that clause will be severed from these Terms of Use and such invalidity or unenforceability will not affect the remainder of the Terms of Use which will continue in full force and effect.
Accuracy of Information
We are not responsible if information made available on this site is not accurate, complete or current. The material on this site is provided for general information only and should not be relied upon or used as the sole basis for making decisions without consulting primary, more accurate, more complete or more timely sources of information. Any reliance on the material on this site is at your own risk.
Neither Edufrienz, its related bodies corporate nor its or their directors or employees make any representation or warranty that (i) any material on the Website will be reliable, accurate or complete (nor do they accept any responsibility arising in any way for errors in, or omissions from that material); or (ii) your access to the Website will be uninterrupted, timely or secure.

Terms of Sale
By placing an order, you are offering to purchase a product on and subject to the following terms and conditions. All orders are subject to confirmation of the order price.
In order to contract with Edufrienz you must be over 18 years of age and possess a valid credit or debit card issued by a bank acceptable to us. Edufrienz does not sell services to children and retains the right to refuse any request made by you. If your order is accepted we will inform you by email and we will confirm the identity of the party which you have contracted with. This will usually be Edufrienz or may in some cases be a third party. Where a contract is made with a third party Edufrienz is not acting as either agent or principal and the contract is made between yourself and that third party and will be subject to the terms of sale which they supply you.
When placing an order you undertake that all details you provide to us are true and accurate, that you are an authorised user of the credit or debit card used to place your order and that there are sufficient funds to cover the cost of the goods. The cost of foreign products and services may fluctuate. All prices advertised are subject to such changes.
Accounts; password restricted services, payments, and cancellation
You need not register with us to simply visit and view the website and not use any services or download any Materials. However, in order to access certain password-restricted areas of the website, to use certain services, and access certain Materials, you must register an account with us.
We may also provide you with the ability to register for an account using your existing account and log-in credentials from third-party sites and services such as Google or Facebook. By using such third-party account and/or credentials, you are consenting to our retention and use, and such third-party site’s disclosure, of the account, credentials and other populated profile information that you submit.
For so long as you use your Edufrienz account, you agree to provide true, accurate, current, and complete information which can be accomplished by logging into your account and making relevant changes directly. You are responsible for complying with these Terms when you access and use the Services, whether directly or through any account that you may setup or use. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password and account and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to (a) immediately notify Edufrienz of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. Edufrienz cannot and will not be liable for any unauthorized access to your account or data that arises from your acts or omissions.
Accounts may not be shared by more than one person or organization unless express authorization is given by Edufrienz.
You agree to pay all applicable fees related to your use of the Services. All fees are based on services purchased, regardless of actual usage. We may suspend or terminate your paid account and/or access to our paid Services if your payment is late and/or your offered payment method (e.g., credit card, PayPal, Stripe etc.) cannot be processed. By providing a payment method, you expressly authorize us to charge the applicable fees on your payment method at regular intervals as well as any taxes and other charges incurred in connection with your account, all of which depend on your Subscription and utilized services.
Subscriptions and the rights and privileges provided to you as a subscriber are personal and non-transferable. By providing a payment method, you expressly authorize Edufrienz 99 and/or our third party payment processor to charge the applicable fees on said payment method as well as taxes and other charges incurred thereto at regular intervals. We reserve the right to change prices for Subscriptions at any time, and do not provide price protection or refunds in the event of promotions or price decreases. Non-renewal or cancellation of your paid subscription will cause your account to revert to a free account.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: MEMBERSHIP SUBSCRIPTION RENEWAL FEES WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY CHARGED TO YOUR CARD ON FILE EACH SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD (3, 6 OR 12 MONTHS PLAN), UNTIL YOU CANCEL.
Unless you cancel prior to the expiration of your current Subscription, we will automatically renew your Subscription on each monthly or yearly (depending on the Subscription you have chosen) anniversary of the date that you signed up for the paid Subscription. We will charge your credit card with the applicable renewal Subscription fee and any Taxes that may be imposed on such fee payments. All fees are exclusive of any applicable sales, use, import or export taxes, duties, fees, value-added taxes, tariffs or other amounts attributable to your use of the Services (collectively, “Taxes”). You are solely responsible for the payment of any such Taxes. In the event we are required to pay Taxes on your behalf, you shall promptly reimburse us for all amounts paid.
School accounts have the option to make payment by credit card, cheque, or other methods at our discretion (contact us for details). Payment must be received by Edufrienz no later than 30 days after issuance of an invoice. If Edufrienz does not receive payment within 30 days, the invoice is past due and we reserve the right to suspend access to the affected school account(s) and take collection action. Suspension of an account does not relieve the account-holder of its obligation to pay for the account. Edufrienz reserves the right to charge a late fee in the amount of 1% per month or the maximum permitted by law and its reasonable attorney’s fees in securing payment of past due amounts.
Cancellation: Except as set forth below or otherwise agreed by Edufrienz in a signed writing, accounts may not be canceled until the end of the current term of the account. Unless otherwise provided for herein, all cancellations requested before the end of the then-current term will be effective at the end of the current term.
Edufrienz permits early cancellations only in the following circumstances:
-
- In the event that the Service is permanently discontinued.
-
- Edufrienz otherwise permits early cancellations only to the extent required by applicable law. In the event of such an early cancellation, the parties agree that the account-holder is responsible for all amounts due and payable before the date of early cancellation without pro-ration or to the greatest extent permitted by law. The parties agree that Edufrienz’s efforts in selling, provisioning and providing an account are front-loaded and for that reason, pro-ration of fees in the event of early cancellation is not necessary or appropriate.
End of Subscription. When an account subscription ends (e.g., at the end of the term if the account has not been renewed or has been cancelled), the account may no longer permit access to the Service. However, Edufrienz may, at its sole discretion, permit continued, limited access for users of the Account for a limited time after the conclusion of the term. The Service includes built-in capabilities to download and export information relating to the account. If an account-holder or any of its users wishes to save or maintain any data, it is the account-holder and its user’s sole obligation to download such data before the conclusion of the term. Once the term of an account ends, we may delete data relating to an account in accordance with this Agreement and the Privacy Policy.
Price Changes. We reserve the right to adjust the pricing for our Service, including but not limited to membership subscription plans, in any manner and at any time as we may determine in our sole and absolute discretion. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, any price changes will take effect following posting or other notice to you (e.g., e-mail).
Purchases through Third-Party Stores. If you purchased your Edufrienz membership through a third-party store, such as through your Apple iTunes or Google Play account, portions of this Section may not apply to you. Because such a purchase is between you and the third-party store, and not Edufrienz, you acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for billing for your membership and are not responsible or liable for any claims relating to the billing of your purchase. If you have questions about membership or billing, you should contact the applicable third-party store directly.
Our Contract
When you place an order, you will receive an acknowledgement e-mail confirming receipt of your order. This email will only be an acknowledgement and will not constitute acceptance of your order. A contract between us for the purchase of the digital products will not be formed until your payment has been approved by us and we have debited your credit or debit card.
