Terms of Service

Welcome to RealPars, the website and mobile service of RealPars B.V. (“RealPars,” “we,” or “us”). This page explains the terms by which you may use our online and/or mobile services, website, and software provided on or in connection with the service (collectively the “Service”). By accessing or using the Service, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Terms of Service Agreement (“Agreement”) and to the collection and use of your information as set forth in the RealPars Privacy Policy , whether or not you are a registered user of our Service. This Agreement applies to all visitors, users, and others who access the Service (“Users”).

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY TO ENSURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND EACH PROVISION. THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A MANDATORY ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS.

1. Use of Our Service

RealPars is an online learning platform that provides different learning materials including but not limited to courses and videos regarding various topics including but not limited to those related to Industrial Automation and other cutting-edge industrial technologies.

A. Eligibility

You must be 16 years or older to use the Services. If you are less than 18 years of age and would like to register to use any part of the Services, please ask your parent or legal guardian to review and agree to these terms before you use any part of the Services, or ask them to complete the purchase or registration on your behalf. Supplemental terms and conditions may apply to some Services, such as rules for a particular promotion, service, or other activity, or terms that may accompany certain content accessible through the Services. Supplemental terms and conditions will be disclosed to you in connection with such competition, service, or activity.

Access to these features may be subject to age restrictions. We claim no ownership rights over User Content created by you. The User Content you create remains yours; however, by sharing User Content through the Service, you agree to allow others to view, edit, and/or share your User Content in accordance with your settings and this Agreement. RealPars has the right (but not the obligation) in its sole discretion to remove any User Content that is shared via the Service.

In connection with your User Content, you affirm, represent, and warrant the following:

Your User Content and RealPars’s use thereof as contemplated by this Agreement and the Service will not violate any law or infringe any rights of any third party, including but not limited to any Intellectual Property Rights and privacy rights. RealPars may exercise the rights to your User Content granted under this Agreement without liability for payment of any guild fees, residuals, payments, fees, or royalties payable under any collective bargaining agreement or otherwise.

You have the written consent of each and every identifiable natural person in the User Content, if any, to use such person’s name or likeness in the manner contemplated by the Service and this Agreement, and each such person has released you from any liability that may arise in relation to such use. RealPars takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any User Content that you or any other User or third party posts or sends over the Service. You shall be solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of posting or publishing it, and you agree that we are only acting as a passive conduit for your online distribution and publication of your User Content. You understand and agree that you may be exposed to User Content that is inaccurate, objectionable, inappropriate for children, or otherwise unsuited to your purpose, and you agree that RealPars shall not be liable for any damages you allege to incur as a result of User Content.

We may make available software to access the Service via a mobile device (“Mobile Software”). To use the Mobile Software you must have a mobile device that is compatible with the Mobile Service. RealPars does not warrant that the Mobile Software will be compatible with your mobile device. RealPars hereby grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use a compiled code copy of the Mobile Software for one RealPars account on one mobile device owned or leased solely by you, for your personal use. You may not: (i) modify, disassemble, decompile or reverse engineer the Mobile Software, except to the extent that such restriction is expressly prohibited by law; (ii) rent, lease, loan, resell, sublicense, distribute or otherwise transfer the Mobile Software to any third party or use the Mobile Software to provide time sharing or similar services for any third party; (iii) make any copies of the Mobile Software; (iv) remove, circumvent, disable, damage or otherwise interfere with security-related features of the Mobile Software, features that prevent or restrict use or copying of any content accessible through the Mobile Software, or features that enforce limitations on use of the Mobile Software; or (v) delete the copyright and other proprietary rights notices on the Mobile Software. You acknowledge that RealPars may from time to time issue upgraded versions of the Mobile Software, and may automatically electronically upgrade the version of the Mobile Software that you are using on your mobile device.

Any third-party code that may be incorporated in the Mobile Software is covered by the applicable open source or third-party license EULA, if any, authorizing the use of such code. The foregoing license grant is not a sale of the Mobile Software or any copy thereof, and RealPars or its third-party partners or suppliers retain all rights titles, and interests in the Mobile Software (and any copy thereof). Any attempt by you to transfer any of the rights, duties, or obligations hereunder, except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, is void. RealPars reserves all rights not expressly granted under this Agreement. If the Mobile Software is being acquired on behalf of the United States Government, then the following provision applies: the Mobile Software will be deemed to be “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation,” respectively, pursuant to DFAR Section 227.7202 and FAR Section 12.212, as applicable. Any use, reproduction, release, performance, display, or disclosure of the Service and any accompanying documentation by the U.S. Government will be governed solely by these Terms of Service and is prohibited except to the extent expressly permitted by these Terms of Service. Mobile Software originates in the United States and is subject to United States export laws and regulations. The Mobile Software may not be exported or re-exported to certain countries or those persons or entities prohibited from receiving exports from the United States. In addition, the Mobile Software may be subject to the import and export laws of other countries.

You acknowledge that Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the iTunes-Sourced Software. In the event of any failure of the iTunes-Sourced Software to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the iTunes-Sourced Software to you; to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the iTunes-Sourced Software, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be solely governed by this Agreement and any law applicable to RealPars as a provider of the software.

Use of the RealPars Content for any purpose not expressly permitted by this Agreement is strictly prohibited.

You further acknowledge that, by acceptance of your submission, RealPars does not waive any rights to use similar or related ideas previously known to RealPars, developed by its employees, or obtained from sources other than you.

6. RealPars Indicators

Certain aspects of the Service may allow you to obtain certain reputational or status indicators (for example, points and badges for completing courses) (“RealPars Indicators”). You understand and agree that regardless of the terminology used, RealPars Indicators represent a limited license right governed solely by the terms of this Agreement and available for distribution at RealPars’s sole discretion. RealPars Indicators are not redeemable for any sum of money or monetary value from RealPars at any time. You acknowledge that you do not own the account you use to access the Service, nor do you possess any rights of access or rights to data stored by or on behalf of RealPars on RealPars servers, including without limitation any data representing or embodying any or all of your RealPars Indicators. You agree that RealPars has the absolute right to manage, regulate, control, modify and/or eliminate RealPars Indicators as it sees fit in its sole discretion, in any general or specific case, and that RealPars will have no liability to you based on its exercise of such right. All data on RealPars’s servers are subject to deletion, alteration, or transfer. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY VALUE ATTRIBUTED TO SUCH DATA BY YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ANY DATA, ACCOUNT HISTORY, AND ACCOUNT CONTENT RESIDING ON REALPARS’S SERVERS, MAY BE DELETED, ALTERED, MOVED, OR TRANSFERRED AT ANY TIME FOR ANY REASON IN REALPARS’S SOLE DISCRETION, WITH OR WITHOUT NOTICE AND WITH NO LIABILITY OF ANY KIND. REALPARS DOES NOT PROVIDE OR GUARANTEE, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS, ANY VALUE, CASH OR OTHERWISE, ATTRIBUTED TO ANY DATA RESIDING ON REALPARS’S SERVERS.

7. Paid Services

A. Billing Policies

Certain aspects of the Service may be provided for a fee or other charge. If you elect to use paid aspects of the Service, you agree to the pricing and payment terms, as we may update them from time to time. RealPars may add new services for additional fees and charges, or amend fees and charges for existing services, at any time in its sole discretion. Any change to our pricing or payment terms shall become effective in the billing cycle following notice of such change to you as provided in this Agreement or otherwise.

B. Automatic Renewal

RealPars subscriptions renew automatically using the payment details on file for your account. If you purchase a subscription with automatic renewal, you acknowledge and agree that we are authorized to use the payment information on file for the renewal fee. Until you cancel, your subscription will renew monthly or annually on the same day of the month or year, respectively, as the date you made your initial purchase and the payment information on file will be billed for the then-current subscription fee. Please note that on leap years, the yearly subscriptions will be renewed after 365 days of the previous subscription starting date. This purchase date will be included on your subscription confirmation receipt which will be emailed to you at the email you provide. You may cancel your Pro membership at any time from within the Manage Payments section of your Account Settings. This will stop future subscription charges from accruing your account.

C. Refund Policy



We strive to accommodate refunds made within the first 5 days after the payment. However, please note that a 5% refund fee is applied to cover administrative costs associated with the refund process. Please note that this refund policy only applies to your first subscription on your RealPars account, and not to all the subscriptions ever done on the account.

RealPars acknowledges the fact that the refund’s implementations of transactions may or may not work as intended, and hereby agrees to follow the written policies in the “Refund Policy” section of this document, should RealPars customer support be informed about any possible errors in the refund transactions. The user agrees to bring the problem to the attention of RealPars customer support immediately via emailing the address listed on the RealPars website, and RealPars agrees to answer the claims from Users regarding refunds while holding the right to reject any claim, and the User by agreeing to this document agrees that the decision made by RealPars on refund will be final and not open to any objections, lawsuits, or any credit disputes.

Please note that these refund policies are taken into action when the user asks for cancellation of subscription and refund due to their own decision regarding their studies and career advancements. Should your Pro membership be suspended given an infringement of any of user’s legal obligations listed in this document or elsewhere on the RealPars website, the Pro membership will be considered null and void and you’ll not be able to ask for a refund, according to any of the policies listed above.

D. Cancellations

You can cancel your subscription at any time by logging into your RealPars account on the RealPars site and following the instructions on the Manage Payments section of your Account Settings page. You must cancel your subscription prior to your next recurring billing date in order to avoid being charged. If you cancel your subscription, you will continue to have access to the Service through the end of your current billing period and may be eligible for a refund according to policies explained in the “Refund Policy” section of this document. Canceling your subscription will not completely delete your account from our Service. You may choose to delete your account, but you will not be able to recover data from your former account at a later date if you do so.

E. Payment Information; Taxes

All information that you provide in connection with a purchase or transaction or other monetary transaction interaction with the Service must be accurate, complete, and current.

You acknowledge that you provide your personal information at your own risk.

11. Third-Party Links

The Service may contain links to third-party websites, advertisers, services, special offers, or other events or activities that are not owned or controlled by RealPars.

Those who access or use the Service from other jurisdictions do so at their own volition and are entirely responsible for compliance with all applicable Netherlands and local laws and regulations, including but not limited to export and import regulations. You may not use the Service if you are a resident of a country embargoed by the Netherlands, or are a foreign person or entity blocked or denied by the Netherlands government. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, all materials found on the Service are solely directed to individuals, companies, or other entities located in the Netherlands.

15. Governing Law and Arbitration

A. Governing Law.

You agree that: (i) the Service shall be deemed solely based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands; and (ii) the Service shall be deemed a passive one that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over RealPars, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than the Netherlands. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the Netherlands, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving international commerce. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences with respect to the substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be governed by the Netherlands Arbitration Institute in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the Netherlands Arbitration Institute. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You agree to submit to the Netherlands Arbitration Institute for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as set forth in the Arbitration provision below.

“All disputes* arising in connection with the present agreement, or further agreements resulting therefrom, shall be settled in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the Netherlands Arbitration Institute.”

B. Arbitration.

READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM REALPARS. In the unlikely event that RealPars has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after 60 days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any RealPars claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) arising out of or in connection with or relating to these Terms of Service, or further agreements resulting therefrom, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, “Claims”), by binding arbitration by the Netherlands Arbitration Institute (“NAI”). The proceedings shall be conducted in the English language. The place of arbitration shall be Rotterdam, Netherlands unless you and RealPars agree otherwise. Each party will be responsible for paying any NAI filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with NAI rules. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses, and any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing RealPars from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to protect any of RealPars’s proprietary interests. ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOU AND REALPARS ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND.

General

A. Assignment.

This Agreement, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you but may be assigned by RealPars without restriction. Any attempted transfer or assignment in violation hereof shall be null and void.

C. Entire Agreement/Severability.

This Agreement, together with any amendments and any additional agreements you may enter into with RealPars in connection with the Service, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and RealPars concerning the Service. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect, except that in the event of unenforceability of the universal Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver, the entire arbitration agreement shall be unenforceable.

D. No Waiver.

No waiver of any term of this Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and RealPars’s failure to assert any right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
