Payment requirements may be flat-fee and upfront for each term or in installments as indicated on the applicable Online Course enrollment page. In some instances, you will be permitted to pre-enroll in an Online Course before the Online Course commences on the Website(s).
Except as otherwise required by law or subject to contractual obligations, Users enrolling in term-based programs have seven (7) days from the first date the Online Course begins in any individual segment to disenroll and request a full refund by going to your account settings and canceling or by contacting us at support@Artellaland.com. Fees paid for such programs are thereafter non-refundable for that Term, even if the User selected to pay for the term in installments. For a multi-term Nanodegree program, you may subject to enrollment obligations for additional terms. To the extent you choose to enroll in further terms for a Nanodegree program, the same seven (7) day disenrollment option shall apply to each term. Please note that, for multi-term Nanodegree programs, if you do not complete all terms, you may not eligible to receive a credential of completion if you do not complete and pay for the Nanodegree. Please reviews the specific terms of each Nanodegree program for any such requirements. After the seven (7) days, you are still able to disenroll at any time by going to your account settings, however, you will lose access to certain Services and features, such as Mentor services, and shall not receive a refund.
Subscription Based Payments: BY SELECTING A SUBSCRIPTION BASED ENROLLMENT, YOU EXPRESSLY AUTHORIZE Artellaland TO AUTOMATICALLY CHARGE THE APPLICABLE RECURRING MONTHLY FEE AND ANY AND ALL APPLICABLE TAXES TO YOUR PAYMENT METHOD UNLESS AND UNTIL YOU DISENROLL, ARE REMOVED, OR GRADUATE. For any Services or products that are provided on a subscription basis, unless otherwise specified upon enrollment, your Payment Method will be authorized for up to approximately one month service charges once your Online Course begins. In some instances, your available balance or credit limit may be reduced to reflect the authorization however, no charges will be made against the Payment Method unless you do not disenroll prior to the end of the seven (7) day disenrollment period. You may not receive a notice from us that your seven (7) day disenrollment period has ended or that the subscription-based payments have begun. Your subscription will continue on a month-to-month basis with recurring payments unless and until you disenroll, are removed, or graduate. You agree to pay the then current applicable monthly payment.
Each month, the monthly fee will automatically be billed on the date your seven (7) day disenrollment period ends (“Billing Date”) For example, if you begin a paid subscription on January 1st, the seven (7) day disenrollment period will end on January 7th, you will be charged on January 8th for the first month and your Billing Date will be the 8th of each subsequent month until you disenroll or are removed from the Online Course or graduate. For certain months, your Billing Date may vary slightly if your Billing Date does not have a corresponding date the next month – for example if the first charge was made on January 31st you will be billed on February 28th. Failure to pay may result in the termination of your subscription.
Currently, your subscription to Artellaland products or Services may start with a free trial. The length of the free trial period for any of your subscriptions will last for the period of time specified during your sign-up. Free trials for any products or services may not be combined with certain other offers when specified in the offer language. If you have subscribed to a particular paid service or product within the last six (6) months, or if your Payment Method, physical address or email address has been associated with an account for that paid service, you are not eligible to receive a free trial for that service or product. If you begin your subscription with a free trial, we will begin billing your Payment Method for monthly membership fees at the end of the free trial period of your subscription unless you cancel prior to the end of the free trial period by contacting support@Artellaland.com. Your Payment Method will be authorized for up to approximately one month of service as soon as you register for a free trial. In some instances, your available balance or credit limit may be reduced to reflect the authorization; however, no charges will be made against the Payment Method unless if you cancel prior to the end of your free trial period.
Your subscription will continue unless and until you graduate, terminate your subscription, or we terminate it. You may terminate your subscription by contacting us at support@Artellaland.com and requesting to be disenrolled in a particular Online Course or by going to your account settings and disenrolling from the Online Course. You must disenroll from an Online Course last day of your previous billing period in order to avoid being billed for the next period’s monthly fee. If you choose to disenroll from an Online Course, you may use the Online Course until the end of the current period but will not be issued a refund for the most recently (or previously) charged monthly fees. At the end of the then-current period, you will lose access to certain Services and features.
When you graduate from an Online Course before your next Billing Date, you will not be billed for the next period’s monthly fee. After graduation, you will lose access to certain Services and features as further set forth in the applicable Nanodegree program FAQs and/or details.
If you cancel your subscription at any time before the Online Course begins, you will not be charged, but you may be ineligible for certain promotions and pricing in the future. For example, you cannot be awarded a Verified Certificate or similar certification during your free trial period because you must pay for at least one (1) month of an Online Course subscription to be eligible for a Verified Certificate in that Online Course in addition to the completion requirements set forth above. In the case of Nanodegree program, you must pay for no less than one (1) month of Online Courses and meet all of the other then current requirements to obtain promotional pricing, rebates or discounts.
We reserve the right to modify, terminate, or otherwise amend the fees and features associated with your subscription. If we notify you in advance of at least fifteen (15) days, your continued use of Artellaland and the Online Course after the changes have been made will constitute your acceptance of the changes. If you do not wish to continue subscribing with the new fees or features, you may terminate your subscription by disenrolling. If you accept the new subscription, its terms and conditions with these Terms will apply for all future months.
Refunds: Other than stated above for each form of enrollment, you hereby acknowledge and agree that Artellaland will not offer refunds on any fees and charges related to your purchase of any products or Services.
