This section outlines our policies on cancellations, refunds, and service termination. These policies are designed to comply with applicable consumer protection laws and data protection regulations. Please note that your rights may vary depending on your jurisdiction.

We want you to be completely satisfied with the Subcriptions, Courses, or Services you order and purchase from Us. If you need to speak to us about your Purchase, then please contact customer care by email at admin@canademica.com Prospective Users are given the opportunity to carefully review course contents and enroll in free sample content before making a purchase.

5.2.1 Course enrollment is completed at the time a purchase is confirmed via email or via the LMS, without the possibility of a cancellation or a refund.
5.2.2 If a User does not complete a Course within the stipulated course duration, they will not be eligible for a refund of any enrollment or other fees paid.
5.2.3 Retaking a Course or extending its duration is subject to non-refundable additional fees, as per any applicable policies.

We cannot guarantee that users can extend or retake a Course in the event a course is discontinued after their subscription expires.
5.2.4 In exceptional circumstances, refund requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Such requests must be submitted in writing to admin@canademica.com.
5.2.5 In all cases, refund considerations are subject to a User's jurisdiction and applicable legislation outlining cooling-off period rights.
5.2.6 In the event of a refund, we will only retain personal data necessary for record-keeping purposes or as required by law. All other personal data associated with the cancelled service will be deleted or anonymized in accordance with our data retention policy.

5.3.4 Your right to cancel and receive a refund for a non-subscription order during the cooling-off period may be affected in the following ways:

5.3.4.1 For digital content not supplied on a tangible medium, the cooling-off period ends when the downloading, access, or streaming of the content begins, provided that you have given your express prior consent and acknowledged that you will lose your right of withdrawal. Consequently, You acknowledge and agree that, once you have accessed any content, We are not obliged to offer you a right of withdrawal, cancellation, or refund, in accordance with the provisions of the regulations applicable to the consumer since it applies the exception contemplated in Article 103 paragraph m) of the revised text of the General Law for the Defense of Consumers and Users ("TRLGDCU"), since, once you pay the corresponding price and access the digital contents of the Subscription, Course, or Service that we offer, the Services will be considered executed and, therefore, you will lose the right of withdrawal, cancellation or refund.

5.3.5 The determination of partial access and calculation of partial refunds, if any, will be based on objective criteria such as the number of course modules accessed, duration of access, or amount of content downloaded, as recorded in our systems.
5.3.6 If you wish to cancel the Services after provision has begun but before it is complete, you will be required to pay for the Services provided up until the point at which you inform us that you wish to cancel. This is especially applicable to third-party license fees.
5.3.7 The amount due shall be calculated in proportion to the full price of the Services and the actual Services already provided at the time the cancellation request is received. We may consult Learning Management System (LMS) logs, emails, and other sources of information in this determination.
5.3.8 Refund Process: a) Refund decisions will be communicated in writing within ten (10) business days after the cancellation request has been received. b) Any applicable refund will be issued via your preferred payment method no later than five (5) business days after a refund decision has been communicated in writing. c) You acknowledge that refund amounts may take longer to appear in your preferred payment account, depending on your payment provider's processes.
5.3.9 The right to cancel, whether for a full or partial refund, is subject to your express prior consent and acknowledgment of these conditions before accessing any part of the digital content.
5.3.10 Exercising your right to cancel does not affect your data protection rights as outlined in these Terms and Conditions as well as our Privacy Policy.

5.4.1 For a User who is a consumer resident outside of the EU, the duration of a statutory right to a "cooling off" period for non-subscription orders will be determined by the applicable consumer protection legislation of their resident jurisdiction.
