Account Registration and Usage Guidelines

To access HydraNode's services, users must create an account, ensuring that all information provided is accurate and updated when necessary. Users are fully responsible for all activities conducted under their accounts and are expected to maintain the confidentiality of their credentials. If unauthorised access to an account occurs, it is imperative that users notify HydraNode immediately. While we strive to secure our platform, HydraNode is not liable for any loss or damage resulting from a failure to safeguard account information.

Users must not share their account credentials with unauthorised individuals and are expected to uphold HydraNode's community standards by maintaining a respectful and secure learning environment. This includes refraining from sharing answers or seeking unauthorised assistance during practice or mock exams, attempting to manipulate AI systems to gain an unfair advantage, and violating any applicable local, national, or international laws. These guidelines ensure that all users can learn and develop their skills in a productive and fair environment.

HydraNode reserves the right to suspend or terminate any accounts violating these guidelines or involved in behaviour detrimental to the community. Additionally, users must only use their accounts for personal learning and must not exploit our services for commercial purposes without explicit authorisation.

Payment and Billing

When purchasing HydraNode's services, you must provide accurate and up-to-date financial information relevant to your chosen payment method, which may include credit card details. Payments are processed through a secure third-party provider, Stripe, which manages all financial transactions per its own Terms of Service. HydraNode does not process or retain any of your financial information directly. By using our platform, you agree to comply with Stripe's Terms of Service, which govern the handling and security of your payment information.

Subscription payments must be made in advance, either monthly or annually, based on your chosen plan. Subscription fees are non-refundable except where required by local regulations. Users can cancel their subscriptions at any time, and their plan will remain active until the end of the current billing period. It's your responsibility to manage subscription settings and ensure timely payments to prevent service interruptions.

We recommend that users periodically review their billing details to confirm their payment method remains accurate and updated. In cases of declined payments or insufficient funds, HydraNode reserves the right to suspend or terminate service access until payment issues are resolved. Users will receive notifications regarding billing status, and if assistance is needed, our customer support team is available to provide guidance.

HydraNode is committed to protecting your personal information and employs industry-standard encryption protocols to maintain data integrity and security. By using our platform, users consent to the collection of data such as quiz results and user feedback, which are utilised to personalise the learning experience.
