AcadAssist disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and freedom from viruses or other harmful components. The platform does not warrant that the services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from defects, or that any errors or defects will be corrected.

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms and Conditions ("T&Cs") are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Ghana. This means that the laws of Ghana will be applied to interpret the meaning and enforce the provisions of this agreement if a dispute arises between you and AcadAssist. We have chosen Ghanaian law because AcadAssist is a Ghanaian company, and our platform is primarily intended for users in Ghana.

Agreement to Arbitrate: We have chosen arbitration as the primary method for resolving any disputes that may arise out of or relate to these T&Cs or your use of the AcadAssist platform. Arbitration is a private process where a neutral third party (arbitrator) makes a binding decision on the dispute. This is different from litigation, which is a court proceeding where a judge makes a decision.

Arbitration Institution and Rules: Any dispute arising out of or relating to these T&Cs shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the Ghana Arbitration Center, a recognized arbitration institution in Ghana. We have chosen this specific institution because they have a strong reputation for fairness, efficiency, and expertise in handling technology-related disputes.

The arbitration shall be held in Accra, Ghana. This location has been chosen for its convenience and neutrality. However, if you and AcadAssist agree in writing, the arbitration may be held in a different location.

Final and Binding Decision: The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on all parties. This means that the decision cannot be appealed to a court of law.

Right to Opt-Out of Arbitration: You have the right to opt-out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of the date you first accept these T&Cs. To opt-out, you must send a written notice to AcadAssist at info.acadassist@gmail.com. Your notice must include your name, address, and a statement that you are opting out of the arbitration agreement. If you do not opt-out within the 30-day period, you will be bound by this arbitration agreement.

Exceptions to Arbitration: This arbitration agreement does not apply to claims for injunctive relief to protect AcadAssist's intellectual property rights. Such claims may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Ghana.

Notifications and Communication

AcadAssist values clear and effective communication with its users. As such, notifications and important communications regarding your account, updates to our services, or other relevant information will primarily be conducted via email.

Email serves as a reliable and efficient method of communication, allowing us to promptly deliver important messages to our users. It also provides users with a convenient means of accessing information and staying informed about any developments related to their AcadAssist account or the platform in general.

When you register an account with AcadAssist, it is essential to provide a valid email address that you regularly check. This ensures that you receive timely notifications and important communications from us. Additionally, we recommend adding our email address info.acadassist@gmail.com to your contacts or safe sender list to prevent important messages from being filtered into your spam or junk folder.

In addition to system-related notifications, AcadAssist may send random promotional emails or SMS messages. Users who wish to opt out of receiving these random promotional communications can contact AcadAssist's support team to be removed from such mailing lists. However, system notifications related to assignments, projects, and account updates are automatic and cannot be disabled as they are essential for service functionality.

We are committed to maintaining transparent and accessible communication channels to facilitate a positive user experience and ensure that our users are well-informed and engaged with the AcadAssist platform.

Assignment and Project Difficulty Classification

At AcadAssist, the difficulty level of both assignments and projects is determined by the expertise and judgment of our experienced experts. Experts assess the complexity and depth of the task and assign an appropriate difficulty level based on their professional judgment and expertise. While various factors contribute to the determination of difficulty levels, including subject matter, length, and depth of research required, the expert's assessment plays a crucial role in accurately classifying the task's complexity.

Fees and Payments

Pricing Structure Based on Difficulty Levels

To provide users with transparency and choice, AcadAssist offers a pricing structure that reflects the difficulty levels set by our experts. Each difficulty level is associated with a predetermined price range, allowing users to compare prices and select the expert that best fits their budget and preferences. Users have the opportunity to view the prices of each difficulty level offered by different experts, along with their bios and ratings, before making a selection. This empowers users to make informed decisions based on their specific requirements and preferences, ensuring that they receive high-quality assistance tailored to their needs.

Default Fee for Early Deadlines

In line with our commitment to prompt delivery and user satisfaction, AcadAssist applies a default fee for both assignments and projects with early deadlines. This fee encourages users to submit their tasks ahead of schedule and facilitates timely delivery of completed work.

Users have the flexibility to choose an expert based on their prices, bio, ratings, and the difficulty level assigned to the task. The default fee for early deadlines serves as an incentive for users to prioritize early submission, ultimately contributing to efficient workflow and the timely completion of tasks without compromising quality.

Computer Science Projects

For computer science projects, users are required to make an initial payment of 30% before work begins. This initial payment is non-refundable once work is accepted and payment is made. Users are encouraged to review their requirements carefully before committing to the service.

Refund Policy

No refund is made once payment has been made unless the expert fails to meet the agreed deadline or there are issues with the solutions or work provided. Refund requests must be submitted within 30 days of the purchase date, and AcadAssist reserves the right to determine the validity of such claims based on the circumstances.
