You have the right to opt out. Review these Terms in Section 15 below or click here for more information.

To access certain features of our Services, you may need to register for an account (“Account”). As part of your Account, you can create a user profile, sync your activities between devices, and access certain features that are only available to registered members. You can register for an Account by completing the registration process when prompted by our Application. We may reject User IDs (or email addresses) for any reason in our sole discretion, and you may not use them. For example, we may reject User IDs (or email addresses) that are already being used by someone else; that could be construed as impersonating someone else; that belong to someone else; that infringe on the intellectual property or other rights of any person; or that are objectionable. You may only have one active account on the Application at any given time, and you may not allow others to access the Services using your Account.

The Services and these Terms are effective until terminated by either you or us. We may terminate these Terms by notifying you using any contact information we have about you or by posting a termination notice on the Site or in your account. You may terminate these Terms by providing us with written notice of termination using the information in the Contact Us section, including your contact details and any account information or other service credentials. Without limiting any other provision of these Terms, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to deny access to our Services to anyone for any reason, without prior notice or liability, including, without limitation, for engaging in prohibited activities, breach of any representation, warranty or covenant in these Terms, or violation of any applicable law or regulation.
The provisions of these Terms concerning intellectual property protection, authorized use, user content, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification and disputes, and any other provisions that by their nature should survive, shall survive termination.

Even after termination of these Terms, your account, or your access to the Services, any User Content you post or submit may remain on the Site or App indefinitely.
- Premium Features
Some of our Services may allow you to purchase premium features that provide an enhanced experience and/or expanded functionality (“Premium Features”). While we have a variety of applications that offer different types of Premium Features, the provisions of these Terms apply to all of them. We may make improvements and/or changes to, or discontinue offering, Premium Features at any time without notice. We also: (a) reserve the right to change the Premium Features advertised or offered for sale, the prices or specifications of such Premium Features, and any promotional offers at any time without notice or liability to you or any other person; (b) do not guarantee that the information provided about Premium Features (including, without limitation, product descriptions, colors, or photographs) is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free; and (c) reserve the right to modify, cancel, terminate, or not process an order (including an accepted order) if the price or other material information about a Premium Feature is inaccurate or for any other reason in our sole discretion. If we do not process an order for the reasons set out above, we will not charge you or refund the payment method used for the order. Some jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion and disclaimer of certain implied warranties, so some of the provisions of these Terms may not apply to you.
8.1 Purchases and Subscriptions
When you purchase Premium Features through the App, you have the choice of either making a one-time purchase to gain lifetime access to the Premium Features (“Lifetime Access”) or purchasing a monthly or annual subscription to access the Premium Features (“Subscription”). When you purchase a Subscription, we will automatically charge your credit or debit card on file (“Payment Method”) for the term you select (e.g., monthly or annually) until terminated. You may change the frequency of your Subscription or cancel your Subscription at any time through the Google Play Store or other third-party app store (defined below) settings within 24 hours of your next scheduled payment date. By purchasing a Subscription, you authorize us to charge your Payment Method within 24 hours prior to the end of the then-current Subscription term.
To purchase Lifetime Access or a Subscription, you must provide a valid and acceptable Payment Method to the Google Play Store. By submitting such information, you agree and warrant that the Google Play Store has the right to use or provide that information to third parties for payment processing. You may be subject to additional terms and conditions imposed by Google.
8.2 No Refunds
Payments for Lifetime Access and Subscriptions are non-refundable. We do not provide partial refunds or credits for unused terms. After cancelling your subscription, you will continue to have access to premium features until the end of your subscription term.
8.3 Taxes
If we are required by law to charge sales tax on your order, the tax will be automatically added to your purchase price. In rare cases, an error in our tax database may result in an incorrect sales tax charge. If this occurs, you may contact us at any time within two years of the date of purchase to request a refund of the overcharged tax. This refund right is your sole remedy for sales tax errors.
8.4 Free Trials
We may offer a free trial of premium features (a “Free Trial”). We may limit the eligibility, duration, and features of a Free Trial at our sole discretion. You must provide a payment method and select a subscription frequency to access the Free Trial. At the end of the Free Trial, the selected subscription will automatically begin and your payment method will be charged the agreed-upon subscription price.
8.5 For European Economic Area (“EEA”), Switzerland and United Kingdom (“UK”) residents only
Notwithstanding the above, if you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland or the UK, you have 14 days (from the date you signed up for a subscription) to cancel your subscription for any reason and receive a refund, but we may charge you or deduct from your refund the value of any premium features used through your account during that period. If you signed up for a free trial, the 14-day period will start from the date you signed up for the free trial. If we accept your refund request, you will receive a refund back to your original payment method. If we are unable to refund that payment method, your refund may not be completed. We may contact you to obtain new payment information or provide a refund in another manner.
To exercise this right, you must inform us of your explicit decision to withdraw from the contract by writing to [400 ORCHARD ROAD #11-08 ORCHARD TOWERS SINGAPORE (238875)] or emailing us at [email protected].

10.1 Interactive Features and Forums
We may offer message boards, user-generated content, reviews, blogs, games, and other interactive features or services through which users can post or upload User Content or otherwise interact with our Services or certain content within the Services (each, a “Forum”). We do not endorse User Content posted in the Forums, cannot guarantee the accuracy or truthfulness of such User Content, and act only as a passive conduit for such User Content. User Content may include suggested uses of our products that we have not evaluated or approved; we do not recommend such uses. We reserve the right to remove Forum content of any kind at any time and for any reason.
You acknowledge and agree that the Forums are public spaces and that your participation in such Forums creates no expectation of privacy. In addition, you acknowledge that any User Content you communicate in the Forums may be seen and used by others. You understand that our employees, outside contributors, or other users associated with us may participate in the Forums or other aspects of the Service and may use anonymous user names when doing so. Any user who fails to comply with these Terms may be expelled from the Forums and denied future access to the Forums. However, we are not responsible for the User Content that you or others choose to communicate in the Forums, or for your conduct or the conduct of other users. If you choose to make any of your Personal Information or other User Content publicly available on or through the Forums or the Site, you do so at your own risk.

- Third-Party App Stores
You acknowledge and agree that the availability of the Services may depend on the third-party websites from which you download the Services (each, a “Third-Party App Store”). You acknowledge that these Terms of Service are an agreement between you and us, and not with the applicable Third-Party App Store. Each Third-Party App Store may have its own terms and conditions, which you must agree to before downloading the Services from it. These terms provided by the Third-Party App Store may provide us and the Third-Party App Store with additional rights and impose additional obligations or restrictions on you. Please review these terms and it is your responsibility to review and understand them and to ensure that you have the latest version.
If you download an application from the “Google Play” store, you are subject to the Google Play Terms of Service, which can be found at https://play.google.com/about/play-terms/index.html. If you use other third-party services, please consult the applicable Third-Party App Store to determine what additional terms may apply.
- Third-Party Websites
The Services may contain links to websites, social media pages, mobile applications or other services operated by third parties (“Third-Party Websites”). For example, you may be able to share information with Third-Party Websites through links on the Services. If you click on these links, you will leave our website or application. If you decide to access any external links, you do so at your own risk and it is your responsibility to take all protective measures to guard against viruses or other destructive elements. We do not own or operate third-party websites, nor have we reviewed all materials, including goods or services, available through third-party websites. The inclusion of these links on the Service does not represent, warrant or imply that we endorse or otherwise sponsor any third-party website or any materials, opinions, goods or services available therein. Third-party materials accessed or used through third-party websites may also be protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.
These Terms of Service do not apply to third-party websites. Before accessing third-party websites through links provided on the Service or otherwise, you should review the terms and conditions and privacy policies of the third-party websites and understand the rules, policies and practices of those third-party websites.
You agree that your use of third-party websites, applications, services and resources, including without limitation your use of any content, information, data, advertising, products or other materials on or through such third parties, is at your own risk and subject to the terms and conditions of use applicable to such websites and resources.
- Other Policies
These Terms apply only to your access to and use of the Services and do not alter in any way the terms or conditions of any other agreement you may have with us for products, services, programs, or otherwise.
Our use of your personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which you should refer to to fully understand how we use and collect information. If we hire you, these Terms are not considered part of an employment contract or offer of employment.
- Legal Disputes, Arbitration Agreement, and Class Action Waiver
Please read this section carefully because it requires the parties to resolve disputes through arbitration and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us. You understand that without this mandatory provision, you would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. You further understand that in arbitration, the rights to discovery and appeal may be more limited than in court. If you are located in the European Union or the United Kingdom, these provisions do not affect your rights to resolve disputes in your local court or tribunal. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. You may choose to be represented by an attorney in arbitration or to conduct arbitration without an attorney. This arbitration provision shall survive any termination of these Terms.
14.1 Initial Dispute Resolution
We want to resolve your issues without the need for formal legal proceedings. Most issues can be resolved quickly this way. For any dispute with us, you agree to first contact us at [email protected] or by mail to AURORA DL EDUCATION LLC and try to resolve the dispute with us informally to resolve any concerns you have about your use of the Services. Your Notice of Dispute must be directed to you personally and must include, as applicable, your name, email address, and residential address. The Notice of Dispute must also explain the facts of the Dispute as you understand it and tell us what steps you would like us to take to resolve the issue. You agree to use your best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiation, and you agree that a Notice of Dispute containing all of the required information listed above, followed by at least 60 days of good faith negotiations, shall be a prerequisite to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration. A Notice of Dispute shall not be effective unless it contains all of the information required by this paragraph. If you initiate arbitration without providing a valid and compliant Notice of Dispute, you and we both agree that the applicable arbitration provider (or arbitrator, if appointed) must suspend the arbitration until compliance with this paragraph. You and we authorize the arbitration provider or arbitrator to decide immediately whether the party initiating the arbitration has complied with these notice requirements solely based on this Agreement and the Notice of Dispute provided (if any). All statutes of limitations shall be suspended while the parties engage in the informal dispute resolution process required by this paragraph.
14.2 Agreement to Binding Arbitration
In the unlikely event that we are unable to reach an agreed solution within sixty (60) days of the date that you sought informal dispute resolution pursuant to Section 15(a) above, either you or we may commence binding arbitration. Except for class arbitrations (defined below) as provided in Section 15(e), all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to these Terms, other agreements found on the Services, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity of those agreements, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this arbitration agreement, shall be exclusively and exclusively brought by binding arbitration conducted in [Hong Kong] by a single arbitrator or in small claims court in [Hong Kong]. If the arbitrator determines that the location is unduly burdensome for you, the arbitration may be conducted in a new location or by telephone, video conference, or similar means. You have the right to attend an in-person hearing near the place where you reside. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. This provision does not prevent a party from seeking interim relief in aid of arbitration from a court of competent jurisdiction. Any arbitration arising out of or related to these Terms shall be conducted in accordance with the expedited procedures set forth in the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures in effect on the effective date of these Terms, including Sections 16.1 and 16.2 of those Rules.
14.3 No Class Actions
You and we agree that each may bring claims against the other only in its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with yours, and may not preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is held unenforceable, then this arbitration provision shall be void in its entirety. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.
14.4 Seeking Arbitration
If you elect to seek arbitration or initiate a small claims action, you must first send us a written Notice of Claim (“Notice”) by certified mail. Notices to us must be sent to: [ [email protected] ]. If we initiate arbitration, we will send written notice to the email address you previously provided to us (if available). We may also contact you by any other means, including sending messages in your account. The Notice (whether sent by you or us) must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If you and we do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court. Arbitration forms are available for download at www.jamsadr.com. If you are required to pay a filing fee, we will promptly refund the filing fee you paid after we receive notice that you have commenced arbitration, unless your claim is for more than $10,000 or the arbitrator determines that the claim is frivolous, in which case you will be responsible for paying the filing fee.
Hearing: If your claim is for $10,000 or less, we agree that you may elect to have the arbitration conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, by telephone or video hearing, or by an in-person hearing as provided by the JAMS Rules. If your claim is for more than $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the JAMS rules. If the arbitration is conducted solely on the basis of submitted documents, the arbitrator will make and deliver an award within six (6) months after the arbitrator is selected, unless the arbitrator extends that time. Except as expressly provided herein, the payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS rules.
Award: If the arbitration awards you damages in an amount that is at least $100 greater than our last recorded settlement offer, we will pay the greater of the damages awarded or $2,500.
Injunctive Relief: Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and we both agree that you or we may sue in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights or in other circumstances where injunctive relief is appropriate. If a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator finds any part of these Terms to be unenforceable, then that part shall be of no force and effect, and the remainder of these Terms shall remain in effect. No express or implied waiver by either party of any breach or default under these Terms will constitute a continuing waiver of such breach or default and will not be deemed a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default.
Confidentiality: The parties shall maintain confidentiality of the arbitration proceedings and award, including hearings, except as necessary to prepare for or conduct the substantive arbitration hearing or to apply for preliminary relief in court, to challenge the award, or to enforce the award, or as otherwise required by law or judicial decision.
14.5 Exception – Large-Scale Arbitrations Before NAM.
Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to have the arbitration administered by a Hong Kong arbitrator, if 25 or more arbitration claims are filed and those claims involve the same or similar subject matter and common legal or factual issues and are filed by the same or coordinated counsel for the parties, you and we agree that those claims will constitute a “class arbitration.” If a class arbitration is commenced, you and we agree that the class arbitration will not be governed by the JAMS Rules and will not be administered by a Hong Kong arbitrator. Instead, the class arbitration shall be administered by National Arbitration & Mediation (“NAM”), a nationally recognized arbitration provider, and governed by the NAM rules in effect at the time the class arbitration is filed (as modified by this Agreement), including the NAM Supplemental Dispute Resolution Rules for class filings, but excluding any rules that permit arbitration to be conducted on a class basis (collectively, the “NAM Rules”). The NAM Rules are available at www.namadr.com or by calling 1-800-358-2550. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, you and we both agree that if either party fails or refuses to commence a mass arbitration before NAM, you or we may seek an order from a court of competent jurisdiction compelling compliance with this Agreement and compelling the conduct of a mass arbitration before NAM. Pending the resolution of any such request by a court, you and we both agree that all arbitrations that constitute a mass arbitration (and any obligation to pay arbitration fees) shall be suspended. You and we both acknowledge that any failure by either party to comply with this paragraph will cause irreparable harm to the other, and you and we both agree that a court may enter an order suspending the arbitration (and any obligation to pay arbitration fees) until the court resolves any disagreement with this paragraph.
14.6 Governing Law and Rules
These Terms and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to conflict or choice of law rules. The parties acknowledge that these Terms evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce.

If we receive proper notifications of claimed copyright infringement, our response to those notices may include removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing material and/or terminating or suspending users. If we remove or disable access pursuant to such notices, we will make a good faith attempt to contact the provider of the allegedly infringing content so that they may file a counter-notification under the DMCA. Our policy is to accommodate, rather than interfere with, the standard technological measures used by copyright owners to identify or protect their copyrighted works, measures that we deem reasonable under the circumstances. In addition, we may terminate the accounts and access of any repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. If you are a copyright owner or a legal agent for a copyright owner and you believe that any User Content on the Services infringes your copyrights, you may submit a takedown notice to us by sending an email to [email protected] with the subject line “DMCA Notice” and including the following:
