Terms of Service

Last updated: May 16, 2024

The Wei Education Group Inc. (“We”, “Us”, “Wei Education”, and the “Company”) website and its applications (AskWei eLearning, AskWei Quiz Generator, and AskWei GPTBizID) are hosted services operated by Wei Education Group Inc. (“Service”). Any use of the Service is subject to the following Terms and Conditions of Service (“Terms of Service” or “Terms”), as well as to AskWei’s Copyright Policy, all of which are incorporated by reference into these Terms of Service. Your use of the Service will constitute your acceptance of these Terms of Service.

1. Eligibility

Use of the Service is void where prohibited. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that (a) all registration information you submit is truthful and accurate; (b) you will maintain the accuracy of such information; and (c) your use of the Service does not violate any applicable law or regulation.

2. Your AskWei account and data

If you create an account on any of the Services, you are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and data, and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under the account. Accounts are for individual use, not organisational (unless explicit written permission are received from Wei Education), by a single person only. You may not share your account with any other person. You must notify Wei Education immediately of any unauthorised uses of your data, your account, or any other breaches of security. Wei Education will not be liable for any acts or omissions by you, including any damages of any kind incurred as a result of such acts or omissions. Wei Education may from time to time set storage limits for your data, or take any other measures it considers appropriate to manage the Services. Wei Education may also from time to time change its policies on offering commercial content or displaying advertising, and may do this without notice.

3. Subscriptions

You have the option to purchase a subscription plan, which offers an upgraded experience with additional features or functionality for your AskWei account ("Subscription"). Subscriptions may be purchased either by (i) paying a recurring subscription fee or (ii) pre-payment giving you access for a specific time period ("Pre-Paid Period"). The terms stated below will govern your participation in these programs.

Pre-Paid Subscription Term: Subscriptions purchased for a Pre-Paid Period will automatically terminate at the end of the Pre-Paid Period.
Group Orders: A Group Order provides discounted credits towards multiple, individual Pre-Paid Period Subscriptions via a unique upgrade link. You may select the number of subscription credits you would like to purchase. Purchasers of Group Orders are solely responsible for the distribution of subscription credits. All subscriptions are non-transferable and irrevocable once a credit has been redeemed by an individual user account. Individual accounts which use a Group Order subscription credit may not be associated with any school, business, entity, institution or any other centralised account and the purchaser of the Group Order has no right to or interest in any account to which a subscription credit has been applied, except where the purchaser of the Group Order and the holder of the account to which a subscription credit has been applied are the same individual.
Restrictions: You may not use the Contents for any commercial purpose. This means you can’t sell it, use it for advertising or marketing purposes, or use it in any other way in connection with a business or profit making activity. You may not post or otherwise make the Contents available on any website. You may not share, send, sell, sublicense or transfer the Contents to someone else.
To Cancel Your Subscription: You may cancel your Subscription at any time. If your Subscription is set to renew automatically, you must cancel at least 1 day prior to the expiration of the Subscription term in order to avoid additional charges. You may continue to enjoy your Subscription benefits until that date, after which your Subscription will terminate and your account will automatically downgrade. You can cancel your Subscription in your account settings.
Cancellation by Us: We may cancel your Upgraded Membership at any time for any reason, with or without prior notice.
Refunds: Except where required by law, Subscriptions purchased directly through Wei Education are non-refundable. Subscriptions purchased through other platforms are subject to the refund policies of those platforms. Wei Education cannot be held responsible for these platforms' policies. We do not provide any refunds if the price for Subscription plans drops, or if we offer subsequent promotion pricing or change the content or features of the Service.
Price changes: We may change the price for Subscriptions from time to time. We will communicate any price changes to you in advance. Price changes for Subscriptions will take effect on the next renewal date following the date of the price change. As permitted by local law, you accept the new price by continuing to maintain your Subscription after the price change takes effect. If you do not agree with the price changes, you have the right to reject the change by canceling from the Subscription prior to the price change going into effect. Please be sure to read any such notification of price changes carefully.
