8. Paid Services

You understand and agree that, in order to take a Skill Test, you have to pay to Instalevel the corresponding fee. 

Nevertheless, you may be invited by a Corporate Client to take a Skill Test the fee of which the Corporate Client has already paid in full.

Alternatively, you may be invited by a Corporate Client to take a Skill Test the fee of which the Corporate Client has partially paid and the balance of which needs to be paid by you.  

In any case that any fee (partial or total) applies to your use of our Services, you accept the terms of sale, pricing, payment and billing policies applicable to such fees posted or linked In the Website. 

Instalevel may add new services for additional fees and charges, or amend fees and charges for existing services, at any time in its sole discretion. Prices for all Services are subject to change but will not affect already paid Services during their validity. 

As soon as you choose the Instalevel Skill Test you want to pay for, you have the option to pay via debit/credit card or paypal.

For all payments via credit/debit card, Instalevel uses Paypal, as well as Braintree (a Paypal service) as 3rd party payment processors (each one of them referred to as the “Payment Processor”). All credit/debit card info entered in the payment gateway form is exclusively collected by the Payment Processor. We do not collect, have access to, view, nor save any credit card and other payment information that you provide to the Payment Processor. The processing of payments shall be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processor in addition to our TOU. We are not responsible for error or delays by the Payment Processor. By placing an order for one Skill Test (“Order”), you agree to pay us, through the Payment Processor, all charges at the prices stated for the applicable Order. You further authorize us, through the Payment Processor, to charge your chosen payment provider (your “Payment Method”). You agree to make payment using that selected Payment Method. The terms of your payment will depend on your Payment Method and may be determined by agreements between you and the financial institution, credit card issuer or other provider of your chosen Payment Method. 

We shall invoice you upon the purchase of your preferred Order, for all amounts due including VAT. 

You agree that the name, and email that you provide during registration on our Website, is valid information and that we may invoice you at such name details. You shall be able to find the receipt and history of your purchases after logging in your account and navigating in “my purchases” section.  

Instalevel is not a party to the transaction made through the Payment Processor, so if you experience any problems with the payment, you should contact the Payment Processor, which shall be responsible to deal with it. Nevertheless, for informative purposes, we would like to be notified as well of any problem that any User experiences with the payment, thus in such case we encourage you to send us an email at support@instalevel.org, telling us which is the problem.

9. Waiving the Right of Withdrawal 

When you place an Order for a Skill Test and your payment is accepted you are entering into a contract with us. As a consumer you have a legal right to cancel an online contract within 14 days from the day the contract was made (i.e. from the day that you purchased the digital content). HOWEVER, WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER IN OUR WEBSITE, YOU AGREE THAT THE DIGITAL CONTENT, I.E. THE SKILL TEST, WILL BE IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE TO YOU FOR CONSUMPTION AND CONSEQUENTLY THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CONTRACT WITH INSTALEVEL WILL BEGIN IMMEDIATELY AND YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT AS A RESULT YOU WAIVE YOUR AUTOMATIC STATUTORY RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL.
