Terms of Service

Hello Future Thought Leader,

This page lists all the Terms and Conditions that people often neglect to go through before forming an agreement. We have tried to arrange them in a readable format, eliminating legal jargons to a great degree so you can understand everything.

Definitions

In this Policy:

“Course” means a Course provided by Learning Dev Academy (LDA).
“Course Fee” refers to the listed price (exclusive of GST) of a Course.
“Us” and “We” mean Learning Dev Academy (Edwhiz Pty Ltd).
“You” means a student of Learning Dev Academy (LDA).

Purpose

Your agreement with Learning Dev Academy (LDA) is governed by this policy, as well as the Learning Dev Academy (LDA) Terms & Conditions and the Learning Dev Academy (LDA) Privacy Policy.

This policy details the conditions under which Learning Dev Academy (LDA) will reimburse you for a Course Fee that you have already paid.
At any moment, we reserve the right to review, revise, or update this policy. If we decide to make changes to this policy, we will let you know and make the new policy available to you.

General

Learning Dev Academy (LDA) offers a variety of services, including short courses, facilitated workshops, webinars to help you learn new things and advance in your chosen field.

Binding agreement

Your enrollment in a Course offered by Learning Dev Academy (LDA) is subject to the following Terms and Conditions, which combined with the Learning Dev Academy (LDA) Refund Policy and the Learning Dev Academy (LDA) Privacy Policy constitute the agreement between you and Learning Dev Academy (LDA).

Course fee

You agree to pay the Course Fee using the method indicated on the enrollment form, which may exclude GST. You further agree that the entire Course Fee is due regardless of whether or not the Course is completed.

If you are under 18:

By enrolling in a Course offered by Learning Dev Academy (LDA), you affirm and acknowledge that you have obtained parental or
guardian permission to do so and that they will be responsible for paying the Course Fee on your behalf.

Course enrolment, commencement and duration

Payment in the agreed upon amount constitutes full enrollment in the course. The length of time you’ll be required to devote to the Course is detailed on the course website, in the initial email, and/or when you sign up (Course Completion Date).

If you are unable to finish the Course before the Course Completion Date, you can request more time by following the steps outlined below. Learning Dev Academy (LDA) will withdraw your enrollment if you do not request extension.

Course materials

Unless otherwise specified in the Course description, all course materials are provided either electronically or in physical form.

You should check with Learning Dev Academy (LDA) ahead of enrollment to see if the programme you’re interested in has downloadable Course Materials. No other use of downloading Course content is permitted.

Learning Dev Academy (LDA) serves as a portal to any online course materials that may be made available to you. At the time of enrollment for self-paced courses, or at least 5 days before the start of class, students will get their login information. Although the Learning Dev Academy (LDA) LMS platform is usually accessible around-the-clock, seven days a week, there are times when it will be down for maintenance. In the event that you are unable to access the Learning Dev Academy (LDA) LMS, Learning Dev Academy (LDA) will make alternate arrangements for the distribution of your Course Materials.

Course extension

All requests for additional time in a course must be submitted in writing no later than 7 days before the original course end date. A one-time extension of three months is available for self-paced courses upon request. Assignments submitted post the course end date will be marked as late.

Course transfer

Within the first seven days of your Course Start Date, you may switch to another Learning Dev Academy (LDA) Course at no additional cost. This is contingent upon the following:

You have three weeks from the date the course officially begins to submit your transfer request.
You can either pay the difference between the Enrollment Fees for the two Courses (if there is one) or transfer into a Course at the same level and fee value.
A $150 Administration Fee is due at the time of the application.
Both your Course Instructor and the Experience Team must provide their permission before you may transfer to a different course.
If you need to request a transfer more than 21 days after the Course Start Date, you should get in touch with the Experience Team; whether or not your Campus Director approves the transfer is ultimately up to them.
There is a single time you’re allowed to switch to a different Course.
If you need to request a transfer more than 21 days following the Start Date of your course, you should get in touch with the Campus Director, who will decide whether or not to approve it.
You are capped switching to a different Course once only.

Payments

You can pay the Course Fee using the Learning Dev Academy (LDA) payment portal.
You must obtain the approval of the cardholder to use their credit or debit card to pay the Course Fee if it is not issued in your name.

At the time your payment is authorised, the Fee (less any rebates or credits applied) will be charged to your credit card and a receipt will be made available for you to print.

After a payment has been made, it cannot be retracted under any circumstances. Even if you pay the Course Fee, it doesn’t mean you’ll automatically learn everything there is to learn.

Learning Dev Academy (LDA) cannot be held responsible for any fees your credit card company may charge you.

Direct debit

To officially sign up for a Course, you need to fill out an Enrolment Form and pay either a deposit or the full Course Fee. We do not release certificates until the whole Course Fee has been paid, even if you enrol using our flexible payment plan that allows you to pay in instalments by direct debit. Learning Dev Academy (LDA) may charge you a dishonour fee in addition to any other fees incurred as a result of a payment being declined under a direct debit payment plan owing to insufficient funds.
If full payment is not received, Learning Dev Academy (LDA) has the right to cancel your enrollment and refuse to provide your Certificate/Statement of Attainment.

Refunds

Unless otherwise agreed with Learning Dev Academy (LDA), you will receive 90% of tuition fee refunded if the Course is terminated up to 7 days from the Course Commencement date.

Why do we collect personal and sensitive information?

As a company, we focus on serving the progressive and digital communities by organising and hosting events, lectures, and courses as well as sending out email material. Information of a sensitive nature will only be collected if it is essential for the delivery of these services or if it is directly connected to the delivery of these services.

What kind of personal and sensitive information do we collect?

We will be very careful to acquire just the personal data that is necessary for the service of developing a digital and progressive community. Intrusive or unnecessary data collection of any kind, including personal or sensitive data, is not something we want to do. To be more precise, we may gather the following types of information:

(a) Personal information about a student, such as their name, date of birth, home address,and other identifying details. There are a number of different application procedures where this data could be collected. There are a few possible uses for gathering this data. These include verifying the student’s identity (for anti-fraud purposes, like when issuing a replacement testamur), facilitating two-way communications with the student about their course and the Learning Dev Academy (LDA)services available to them, and verifying the student’s eligibility for an Learning Dev Academy (LDA) scholarship.

(b) Personal employee files and service records, records of counselling and disciplinaryaction, records of performance management and evaluation, records of training, notices of separation and exit questionnaires, work health and safety and work records, and tax file number declaration forms.

This information may be used in our content or for promotional purposes. If you do not want us to utilise any particular piece of content, please let us know either before or after the fact in writing so that we may resolve your concerns.

How do we collect personal and sensitive information?

Your information, including sensitive data, will often be collected directly from you over the internet and over the phone. If you give us permission, we can also get sensitive information about you from other sources. We will inform you of the following details when we collect your personal information: how to get in touch with us, who will hold and/or have access to your personal information, what itwill be used for, what other organisations (if any) routinely receive this type of personal information from us, whether the collection is required by law, whether we are likely todisclose the information to overseas recipients, and the countries in which these recipients are likely to be located. We will additionally tell you that we collect, or have acquired, the information, and the circumstances of acquisition if we got the information from a third party or if you may not be aware that we have collected the information.

How will we hold personal and sensitive information?

Data storage and cloud computing facilities managed by us or by reputable third party providers on our behalf will be used to store your personal and sensitive information.
We promise to take all appropriate measures to prevent any unauthorised access, disclosure, abuse, or interference with the data. If we decide to utilise a third party data storage provider, we will take all reasonable measures to verify that they employ suitable security methods to prevent the information from being accessed, disclosed, misused, or interfered with. We’ll make sure sensitive data is encrypted during storage, deleted when it’s no longer needed, and responsibly disposed of when it no longer serves a purpose.

Can you use a pseudonym or anonymous identifier?

Where it is permitted and feasible, we will let you get services while using a pseudonym or remaining anonymous. If you’d like, we can keep your address confidential. Contact the Advisors Team if you’d want your address removed from our records.

How can you access your personal information?

Contact the Advisors Team if you would want access to any of your private information. Within a fair time frame, you may expect a reply from us. We won’t charge you an arm and a leg to provide you the details you need. Access to your private and sensitive information will be denied only in limited circumstances when doing so is authorised by law. If we do decide to deny access, we will explain why.

How can you update your personal or sensitive information?

You can update your information by getting in touch with the Advisors Team via admin@learningdevacademy.com.

How will we use your personal or sensitive information?

We will only use your private information for the original purpose it was gathered for, any secondary purpose to which you have consented, and any other purpose for which we have a legal basis to do so. We shall take reasonable precautions to verify the veracity, accuracy, timeliness, completeness, and non-misleading nature of your private information before utilising it.

When will we disclose your personal information to a third party?

If the disclosure is directly related to the purpose for which the information was collected, and we have no reason to believe that the you concerned would object to the disclosure, or if you have given your prior consent to the disclosure, we will only disclose your information to a third party under the conditions described in the privacy notice provided to you at the time of collection. We may give out your contact info to our event partners if we’ve established that we’re working together on anything. Also, if the workshop instructors have pledged to send you slides, we may provide them your contact information.
