Legal Disclaimer

HiraEdu and its subsidiaries (‘HiraEdu’, ‘We’, or ‘Us’) takes pride in offering our users, who are valued customers, state-of-the-art, high quality, online services. However, owing to the unique nature of the services we provide, and the ever-evolving state of technology, it is virtually impossible for us to offer a perfect system. Additionally, HiraEdu’s function in providing these services is that of a facilitator and, as a result, we are highly dependent on data which is submitted to us by others.

These terms of use, together with any policies either incorporated or referenced are collectively the ‘Terms’ as they apply to all content, products and services offered by HiraEdu and its related sites, information sharing, community support platforms and such services and products, including those mentioned as above (collectively the ‘Websites’).

In accessing, utilizing or patronizing our websites, including content, functionality, products and services offered on or through HiraEdu’s network, whether as a guest of registered user, you consent to being bound by said Terms. There may be instances where HiraEdu offers features, services or products with their own terms and conditions, which will apply in addition to these Terms. In such instances, the terms specific to said feature, service or product will prevail over these Terms in the event of any conflict.

In order to make clear to our users what our legal obligations are, we are obliged by law to ask you to read and review this disclaimer carefully, particularly the passages in bold, which pertain to legal requirements in certain states.

This disclaimer is not intended to contravene any requirements laid down in applicable national law nor to exclude liability for matters, which may not be excluded under that law. In countries and states that do not permit exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, HiraEdu’s liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
