Terms of Service

Version dated 14 September 2023

Thank you for using Iten McNally Learning.

1. Introduction

These terms of service (these Terms) are a binding agreement that governs the use of the Iten McNally Learning platform (the Platform), which is owned and operated by Iten McNally LLC, a company registered in Switzerland, with its registered office at Gartenstrasse 25, P.O. Box, 8027 Zurich, Switzerland (Iten McNally, or we or us). By using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

We maintain other terms and policies that supplement these Terms like our Privacy Policy, which describes our collection and use of personal data.

2. Terms of use

The Platform offers an online venue that enables users to educate themselves on regulatory compliance and legal topics by completing e-learning courses and using other educational materials. Access to the Platform is for the purpose of education and development.

You must register a Platform account (the Platform Account) to access and use many features of the Platform. Registration is only permitted for legal entities, partnerships, and natural persons who are 18 years or older. You represent and warrant that you are not a person or entity barred from using the Platform under the laws of your place of incorporation or residence or any other applicable jurisdiction. You must provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and keep your account information up to date. You may not register more than one Platform Account or transfer your Platform Account to someone else. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account credentials.

After purchasing a course, you are granted a non-transferable, non-exclusive, and revocable right to use the Platform and the courses and course materials you have purchased. Use is limited to the licenses, users, modules, options, and functions described in the order confirmation. Once you have made a purchase, the relevant course, and all course materials (e.g., videos, quizzes, handouts, etc.) will be available on the Platform for 90 days.

You are responsible for making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to the Platform. You are also responsible for ensuring that all persons who access the Platform through your Platform Account are aware of these Terms and that they comply with them.

3. Pricing

The Platform offers online courses for a fee in Swiss Francs (CHF), which must be paid in full before access to the relevant course is granted. The prices or fees indicated are inclusive of Swiss VAT (MWST).

Bespoke courses that Iten McNally prepares for you will be invoiced separately subject to separate pricing and invoicing terms.

4. Payments

For its online courses, Iten McNally uses third-party payment service providers (e.g., Stripe, the Payment Providers). Additional terms of use from the relevant Payment Provider may apply to your payment method. These Payment Providers may charge you additional fees when processing payments, and Iten McNally is not responsible for any such fees and disclaims all liability in this regard. Further, Iten McNally is not responsible for any loss suffered by you resulting from incorrect payment information provided by you.

When you add a payment method to your Platform Account, you will be asked to provide billing information such as name, billing address, and financial instrument information to the Payment Provider.

The Payment Provider will process each transaction you select in Swiss Francs (CHF). If your bank account is in a different currency, certain bank fees and exchange rates may apply, and the amount listed on your card statement may be different from the amount shown at checkout. Please contact your bank or card company if you have any questions about these fees or the applicable exchange rate.

You allow the relevant Payment Provider to charge your payment method, either directly or indirectly, for all fees due, including any applicable taxes, in connection with your purchases on the Platform. Once the payment for your requested purchase is successfully completed, you will receive a confirmation email.

5. Cancellation and refund

If you are not satisfied with a course, you may cancel your order and request a refund within 14 days of purchase by contacting us by email at .

If you terminate your Platform Account, any courses purchased on the Platform that are still active will not be refunded. If we terminate your Platform Account, any purchased courses that are still active on your Platform Account will be refunded on a pro rata temporis basis in respect of the time period of availability of the relevant course.

6. Communication

By establishing a Platform Account, you agree to receive administrative communications from us to the email address you provide for your Platform Account. You may also receive promotional emails from us. You can control whether you receive promotional emails using the subscribe and unsubscribe functions.
