By accepting these terms, a binding agreement shall arise between you and The Institute of Beauty & Makeup. (‘IBM’)

By accepting these terms, you agree to pay the course fee (‘Course Fee’) for the Course you have selected under this Student Agreement (‘Course’). Upon receipt of the Course Fee, IBM agrees to:

 

• Supply to you all modules, video tutorials and assignments listed by IBM for your Course (‘Course Materials’);
• Mark and grade your assignments;
• Answer queries about your Course; and
• Issue a Certificate or Diploma with additional payment, which is dependent on the course type that you enrolled with, upon successfully completing all assignments.

 

The Course Fee does not cover any materials that are not listed as Course Materials for your Course. IBM notes that you may need to provide your own equipment in addition to the Course Materials at your cost, i.e. Makeup Kit. Subject to the successful completion of all assignments, the Course Fee being paid in full and certificate fees being paid, IBM will issue you with a Certificate for your Course.

 

Course Materials will be available to you as you progress through the Course and submit your assignments. IBM reserves the right to withhold provision of Course Materials in the event that you fail to pay any part of the Course Fee as and when it becomes payable. If you are paying by instalments, you must pay all such payments on or before the due date.

 

Irrespective of your progress through the Course, if you fail to pay any installment by the due date, the total outstanding balance of the Course Fee will become immediately due and payable.

 

 

Cancellation and Refund

 

Where services are available via online access, you will be entitled to cancel the access within 14 days of your purchase. However, if you choose to start the Course within this period, then you will lose your right to cancel.

 

On cancellation, you will receive a full refund. If an annual subscription is automatically renewed, a particular exception will come into effect. In this situation, after the annual subscription is renewed following its original term ending, the learner will no longer have the right to request a refund, regardless of any reason.

 

 

 

Annual Subscriptions, Rights & Obligations

 

A IBM annual course subscription entails a payment arrangement where learners pay an upfront fee for one year of access to a set of courses. Typically, within this subscription period, learners can access a variety of courses.

 

Subscribers to IBM on an annual basis are limited to enrolling in a maximum of 30 courses concurrently. They can only start a new course after finishing one of the initial 30, ensuring a total course count of 30.

 

Please note that the annual subscription does not cover courses offered by Awarding bodies, bundles and career path/career bundles listed on the IBM website.

 

The assignment of courses to learners is contingent on availability. If a course becomes unavailable for any reason after being in the course library during the subscription period, the learner cannot enrol in it. IBM will not be held responsible, but the learner can take the course once it becomes available again in the library.

 

In the event a learner purchases an annual subscription at a discounted rate from Ibeauty, they forfeit the right to request a refund, regardless of the reason, due to the discounted price.

 

If a learner completes 50% or more of multiple courses, they are ineligible to request a refund from Ibeauty, regardless of the circumstances.

 

To clarify, when a learner buys an annual subscription from Ibeauty for online course access, if they complete at least 50% of the courses and later seek a refund after finishing several courses, Ibeauty  reserves the right to deny their request, as outlined in the Terms and Conditions Agreement.

 

Auto-renewal is applicable to the Annual Subscription. Upon renewal following the expiration of its term, the learner loses the right to request a refund for any reason.
