your computer before purchasing any courses.
The entire liability of Amicron and your exclusive remedy shall be, at
Amicron’s sole discretion, the repair or replacement of the Software.
These remedies are not available if the failure of the Software or media
is the result of misuse, abuse or a failure to follow the operating
instructions in the accompanying written materials, or if the media upon

damaged in shipping.
Except for the limited warranty set forth herein, the software is provided
as is. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Amicron
disclaims all warranties, either express or implied, including but not
limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, and non-infringement with respect to the software and the
accompanying documentation. You assume responsibility for selecting the
software to achieve your intended results, and for the installation of,
use of, and results obtained from the software. Without limiting the
foregoing provisions, Amicron makes no warranty that the software will be
error-free or free from interruptions or other failures or that the
software will meet your requirements. Some states and jurisdictions do not
allow limitations on implied warranties, so the above limitation may not
apply to you. The foregoing provisions shall be enforceable to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law.
Under no circumstances and under no legal theory, whether in tort,
contract, or otherwise, shall Amicron or its suppliers be liable to you or
to any other person for any indirect, special, incidental, or

malfunction, or for any and all other damages or losses. In no event will
Amicron be liable for any damages in excess of the list price Amicron
charges for a license to the software, even if Amicron has been advised of
the possibility of such damages. Some states and jurisdictions do not
allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages,
so this limitation and exclusion may not apply to you. The foregoing
provisions shall be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law.
Should the Customer wish to return the Software for a refund, he has
thirty (30) days from the purchased date of the Software to do so.
Customer will be refunded a maximum of $5.99 for the software or the
amount he paid for one course (whichever is less). Software must be returned in its original
packaging, free from defects, in resalable condition. Customer is liable
for the costs of return shipping. Please note that our money-back guarantee does
not cover shipping and handling charges. You will be responsible
for returning any CDs you do not wish to keep, and we will refund
the total of $5.99 or the amount paid for one course (whichever is
less) per customer, minus applicable shipping and
handling fees. Returned CDs must be in their original, resalable
condition with any and all packaging materials originally sent to
customer. Note that we will only refund the maximum sum total of
$5.99 to any
customer, regardless of the number of courses purchased, or the total
amount paid. We do this only to prevent people from frivolously
ordering many courses, copying them, and then asking for their money back.
If you're not sure whether or not you're going to like our product, we
recommend you purchase one of our beginner courses for $5.99 to try us
out. This is the only form of refund we will grant. Once you
submit your order, there are no cancellations.
Customer should test one
of our free sample demo lessons on their computer before purchasing our
product. Demo lessons can be downloaded free of charge from our Web site.
If the demo lessons play correctly on the customer's computer, then our
full product should work as well. If the demo lessons do not play properly
on the customer's computer, then they should seek technical support
before purchasing our product. Amicron will not be liable for
technical support should our product not work on the customer's computer
and they did not try our demo lessons first. Refunds will not be given
under these circumstances. Also, please also note that our money-back
guarantee does not apply to downloaded orders, only those orders
physically shipped on CD.
We make no claims or
guarantees for delivery dates of our software or download availability.
Times given for delivery dates are estimates generated by our web site
based on the number of orders currently waiting to be shipped. Times given
are estimates only. We will not guarantee a delivery date. Customer may
not request a refund for products not received by any specified dates. If
Customer does not receive any titles ordered, we will be happy to ship out
a second copy of their order. We
generally ship orders once a week. However, please allow
six to eight weeks for a shipped CD order to arrive. This is why we
strongly recommend you watch your courses online in our
Web Theater, or download them from
our web site. Additionally, courses purchased for download
may not be available immediately, as some orders may been to be processed manually. This
process is usually automatic, but for special orders may take up to 2
business days, depending on the nature of the order and the number of
orders we currently have to process. Please note that orders paid for with
a check or money order are held for 5 to 7 business days to wait for check
clearance. Any checks returned for non-payment will incur a $25 fee.
Some of our video tutorials or handbooks
may be listed on our order page as "under development." Customers may
pre-order these items, and may receive a discount for doing so. This will
place the customer on a "waiting list" for the item(s) in question. The
customer's credit card will NOT be charged until the item is actually
released and available for the customer. For the customer's convenience,
they will receive the item as soon as its available, and will also be
automatically added to the waiting list for the next item in the series,
if applicable. The customer will be emailed a notification at least 24
hours before any additional items are added to their account, giving
plenty of opportunity to cancel. Customer may be removed from the waiting
list at any time by simply contacting customer service.
Customer may NOT broadcast our software over a closed-circuit television
system or other broadcast television system. Customer may not show our
software lessons to a group of people (employees, students, etc.) as in a
classroom or seminar. Customer may not profit from our Software in any
way, which includes leasing, renting, or showing our lessons to others
