Should there be any impossibility of problem in this regard, then the site agrees to return the money paid by the user concerned. The passwords received for access to video class materials are personal and not transferrable, being considered as products and governed by the same rules that govern any other product traded through the site. The Simplifying Theory site does not take any responsibility in cases where the password sent has been mislaid or lost.

The Simplifying Theory site reserves the right to change the access passwords at any time, with the new passwords being informed to the existing users, and respecting the period of validity as established when the product was purchased.

The Simplifying Theory site does not take on any commitment with regard to the quality of the services provided by the hosting service where the site is hosted. The user is well aware that the visualisation of the video classes depends on the speed and permanence of the connection of their Internet provider, as also the site’s hosting quality.

Simplifying Theory may, but does not have to, increase a user’s period of access if the user is not able to access the material for very long periods because of interruptions caused by faults in the site’s hosting, provided this is informed and explained by sending an e-mail to: simplifyingtheoryteam@gmail.com

In this case, the Simplifying Theory team shall do its utmost to solve the problem and deliver the product in the shortest possible time, also agreeing to make a full refund of the sum paid should the user request this.
