1. Access, Charges & Termination
Access is provided on a one-time annual purchase basis. Upon successful payment, the User is granted access to the purchased Product(s) for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of purchase ("Access Period"). This is not a recurring subscription — access does not auto-renew and no charges will be levied automatically upon expiry. To continue accessing Products after expiry, the User must make a fresh purchase.
Some parts of the Site are available free of cost, including a limited free trial of select Products for registered users. To access paid content, you must register and complete the purchase process by providing current, complete, and accurate information.
You are granted one (1) login ID and password for your personal or organizational use. Ultimus does not permit:
- Any other person sharing your account and password
- Any part of the Site being cached in proxy servers and accessed by individuals who have not purchased access
- Access through a single account being made available to multiple users on a network, unless an organizational license has been explicitly purchased
If Ultimus reasonably believes that an account is being misused, it reserves the right to cancel access rights immediately without notice. You are solely responsible for all activities that occur under your account and must notify Ultimus immediately of any unauthorized use.
Refund Policy
- Ultimus voluntarily suspends or permanently discontinues the Site, in which case a proportionate refund shall be provided based on the number of days remaining in your Access Period
- Ultimus terminates your access without cause, in which case a proportionate refund shall be made for the unused portion of your Access Period
Any applicable taxes, including GST, shall be levied over and above the purchase fee. Ultimus reserves the right to change or modify its Products or pricing with or without notice, but any such changes shall not affect an Access Period already purchased.
