TERMS & CONDITIONS AND ONLINE SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

Introduction

These Terms & Conditions and Online Subscription Agreement is between the entity you represent, or, if you do not designate an entity in connection with a Subscription purchase or renewal, then you individually ("you" or "your"), and JOHNER INSTITUTE NORTH AMERICA INC., a Delaware Corporation ("JOHNER", "we", "us", or "our"), and shall consist of the terms and conditions hereinbelow, as well as any other online terms and conditions, privacy policy, SLAs, and any other legal agreements between the parties, as they may be amended from time to time, for any access or use of any of our digital platform including our services requiring an online subscription or renewal of the same (collectively hereinafter "Agreement"). It is effective on the date we provide you with confirmation of your Subscription or the date on which your Subscription is renewed, as applicable.

Our Service

Medical Device University (MDU) is a digital platform on which users can learn about medical device approval and guidance to market readiness in the USA and Europe (collectively hereinafter the “Service” or “Services”).

Our Services include training videos and templates for the user to learn everything they need to know about medical device regulation. The Services are intended to provide a full 820 CFR compliant quality management system and the technical documentation for medical devices.

The Service only delivers resources, and the templates needed to fill out and adapted to the specific requirements of the medical device the user intends to document.

We allow you to access our various Services in exchange for a one-time or recurring fee (collectively the "Subscription").

1. Your Acceptance

By using the Service, you signify your acceptance of the terms of the Agreement. Please read the terms of the Agreement carefully. If you do not understand the terms, or do not accept any part of the Agreement, then you may not use the Service.

Each time you place an order for a Subscription (including when you order individual subscriptions or items of content), you enter into a separate contract for services on the terms of the Agreement, as may be amended from time to time. When you make a payment for Subscription, you signify that you wish to enter into a binding contract for the provision of the applicable Services

2. Payment, Refund and Cancellation Policy

Payment:

We accept payment via the current payment method(s) indicated prior to purchase, which we make available to you from time to time. You must have a valid accepted form of payment on file in order to purchase or renew a Subscription. You agree to abide by any relevant terms of the Agreement, as defined herein. Prices for any Subscription may change at any time, and we do not provide price protection or refunds in the event of a price reduction or promotional offering. You agree to pay for any Subscription that you order. We will charge your credit card or other form of payment for the price listed on the relevant Subscription, along with any additional amounts relating to applicable taxes, bank fees and currency fluctuations. If you purchase any automatically renewing Subscriptions, you agree that we will charge the payment method on file on the first day of each billing period for the relevant Subscription, and if the payment method on file becomes invalid due to an expired credit card or other similar reason and we are unable to charge you on the next billing period, We reserve the right to immediately revoke your access to any Service you have ordered until you update your payment method and payment for the Subscription is recieved. If you fail to update your payment method within a reasonable amount of time, we may cancel your Subscription.

Taxes:

If we are required to collect or pay any taxes in connection with your purchase of a Subscription, such taxes will be charged to you at the time of each payment transaction. Additionally, if required by law, you are responsible for reporting and paying certain taxes in connection with your purchase and use of a Subscription. Such taxes may include duties, customs fees, or other taxes (other than income tax), along with any related penalties or interest, as applicable to your purchase or country of purchase.

Refunds:

You can cancel your purchase and receive a refund as long as you have not commenced using the relevant Services ordered and you make your request no later than 7 working days after your order is completed. Requests for refunds must be directed to us at: mail@johner-institute.com. We reserve the right to approve or deny refund requests after 7 working days at our sole discretion. In the event a refund is issued after 7 days for any Subscription, you may be issued a partial refund that is pro-rated for the remaining time left on the Subscription. If you receive a refund for any reason, we reserve the right to terminate your access to the relevant Services purchased.

Subscription Cancellations:

If you purchase a Subscription that automatically renews, you may cancel the Subscription any time before the end of the current billing period and the cancellation will take effect on the next billing period. You will retain access to the Services from the time you cancel until the start of the next billing period, and will not receive a refund or credit for any remaining days in your current billing period.

3. Accessing Subscription.

Device and Usage Requirements. Certain types of Subscription may require you to use a device that meets certain system and compatibility requirements for such Services, which may change from time to time. Geographic Restrictions. The Subscription, and certain content available within the Subscription, are currently available only in some countries. You agree that you will not present any false, inaccurate or misleading information in an effort to misrepresent yourself as a resident of a supported country, and you will not attempt to circumvent any restrictions on access to or availability of the Subscription or content available within the Subscription.

4. License

The Subscription must be only for commercial purposes unless otherwise agreed to in writing. You agree not to use any Paid Service, in whole or in part in connection with any public presentation even if no fee is charged (except where such use would not constitute a copyright infringement). You are receiving a non-exclusive license to access the Services and all rights, title and interest in the Services (including any content offered through the Subscription) not expressly granted to you in these terms are reserved by JOHNER and its licensors, if any. If JOHNER reasonably determines that you violated any of the terms and conditions of the terms of the Agreement, your rights under this Section 4 will immediately terminate and JOHNER may terminate your access to the Services and/or your account without notice and without refund to you.

5. Restrictions

When you use the Service, you may not (or attempt to):

  • use the Services in an illegal manner or for an illegal purpose;
  • share your account password with someone else to allow them to access to the Service that such person did not order;
  • copy, sell, rent, or sublicense any content included in the Subscription to any third party;
  • circumvent, reverse-engineer, modify, disable, or otherwise tamper with any security technology that JOHNER uses to protect the Service or encourage or help anyone else to do so; or
  • access the Service other than by means authorized by JOHNER.

6. Changes

Changes or Discontinuation. JOHNER reserves the right to change the availability of Services. In addition, we reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any Service with or without notice to you and we will not be liable to you or any third party for any such modifications, suspension, or termination. However, this will not affect your ability to request a refund as described above.

Removal or Unavailability of Content. In certain cases, content available within a Subscription may become unavailable due to restrictions from our partners who license us such content or other legal or policy reasons. JOHNER will have no liability to you for any such unavailability.

Changes to the Agreement. We may also change these the terms of the Agreement from time to time so we encourage you to periodically review the most up-to-date versions. By completing the purchase or renewal of a Subscription, you signify your agreement to the new terms, and further, that they will apply to your Subscription and use of the Service as a whole (including any Subscriptions you have purchased in the past) and all subsequent Subscription purchases or renewals (until the terms may be amended again). If you refuse to accept the updated terms then you may not buy any additional Subscription, or renew an existing Subscription, and the latest version of the terms that you accepted will continue to apply to your use of previous Subscription.

7. Communications

By purchasing a Subscription, you consent to receiving communications from us including marketing communications such as newsletters about features and content, special offers, announcements, and surveys, to your registered email address or via other methods.
