ARBITRATION NOTICE/CLASS ACTION WAIVER: PLEASE REVIEW THESE TERMS OF SERVICE (“TERMS”) CAREFULLY. YOU AGREE THAT DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND DALITE RESEARCH & HEALTH SERVICES LTD WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION (INCLUDING CLAIMS THAT AROSE OR WERE ASSERTED BEFORE THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THESE TERMS), AND YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION OR A TRIAL BY JURY. THESE TERMS EXPLAIN SOME EXCEPTIONS AND HOW YOU CAN OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION. BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL OF THESE TERMS AND HAVE TAKEN TIME TO CONSIDER THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS IMPORTANT DECISION.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Dalite Research & Health Services LTD and its subsidiaries, representatives, affiliates, officers, and directors (collectively, “Dalite Research & Health Services LTD,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your use of Dalite Research & Health Services LTD’s website and service, or services directly related to Dalite Research & Health Services LTD’s website and service, including (without limitation) all websites, mobile applications, and other interactive properties through which such services are delivered, or live events (as defined in other sections below), sponsored or facilitated by Dalite Research & Health Services LTD (collectively, the “Service” or “Services”).
By accessing and/or using our Services, whether or not you register for a membership, you are agreeing to the Terms, the terms and conditions of our Privacy Policy, and any other legal notices or other rules, policies, and procedures relating to the Services that we may publish from time to time (collectively, the “Governing Documents”). Therefore, please carefully review these documents. If you do not agree, do not access and/or use the Services. If there is a conflict between these Terms and any other terms and conditions covering a specific area of the Services, the latter terms and conditions shall control unless they expressly state otherwise.
You can use these Services, at different times, as either a Student or a Tutor or both. When these Terms refer to “Tutors,” they specifically refer to those who use the Service to teach, advise, and/or mentor; upload classes or similar content; or provide other similar services; and who have the opportunity to earn payments from Dalite Research & Health Services LTD or a Dalite Research & Health Services LTD partner for such activity. When these Terms refer to “Students “they refer to those who use the Service for any other purpose, including when you browse the Service or watch classes posted by Tutors. Unless otherwise specified, the use of “you” (or similar words like “your”) and “user” or “users” refers to both Students and Tutors, as applicable.
If you are a Tutor, your access to and use of the Service are additionally subject to the Tutor Rules and Requirements.
In these Terms, the words “including” and “include” mean “including, but not limited to.”
We may, at our sole discretion, modify these Terms at any time. By accessing the Service at any time after such modifications, you are agreeing to such modifications.
If you accept these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that company or other legal entity to these Terms and, in such event, “you” and “your” will refer and apply to that company or other legal entity.

- Subscriptions, Payments, and Cancellation
Subscriptions and Payments
§ Unless you enrolled via a gift card or scholarship, for services that require payments, you are required to make the transaction, and services will be availed to you upon successful payment confirmation, or your account is otherwise suspended or terminated pursuant to these Terms.
§ You agree to provide updated payment information upon request and any time the information you previously provided is no longer valid. We reserve the right to change the timing of our billing, including if your payment method has not successfully settled.
§ If you are located in a country where use and sales tax, goods and services tax, or value added tax is applicable to consumer sales, we are responsible for collecting and remitting that tax to the proper tax authorities. Depending on your location, the price you see may include such taxes, or tax may be added at checkout.
§ Dalite Research & Health Services LTD collects all fees through secure third-party payment processors. Our third-party payment processors accept payments through methods detailed on the applicable payment screen, which may include various mobile payments, and credit cards. Such payment methods are subject to change. Information that you supply to our payment processors is not stored by us or within our control, and is subject to each of our third-party payment processors’ own privacy policies and terms and conditions. Third-party payment processors may charge a fee to process payments and Dalite Research & Health Services LTD is not responsible for any fees charged by them. Dalite Research & Health Services LTD disclaims all liability with regard to any fees or problems you have with third-party payment processors.
§ If you enroll in a Dalite Research & Health Services LTD subscription via a gift card or scholarship, you will not be required to provide a payment method at the time of enrollment and your subscription will end automatically at the conclusion of the subscription period or service provided by your gift card or scholarship. If you wish to continue your subscription beyond that period, you will need to enroll in an automatically renewing subscription and provide a method of payment.
§ Dalite Research & Health Services LTD reserves the right to develop and launch new products or services or make changes to any products or services offered through the Service. If you choose to purchase any additional products or services offered by Dalite Research & Health Services LTD or Tutors, you may be charged additional amounts for such products or services.
§ Dalite Research & Health Services LTD also reserves the right to change the terms of your subscription, including price, from time to time, effective as of the beginning of your next billing period following the date of the change. We will give you advance notice of these changes, but we will not be able to notify you of changes in any applicable taxes. If you do not wish to accept the price change or change to your subscription plan, you can cancel your subscription before the change takes effect.
§ Price changes, whether pertaining to subscriptions or other products, may be the result of many factors, including changes in costs related to procuring content or providing the Services, changes to market conditions or the consumer price index, or changes to applicable tax rates. Should these costs go up, we may increase our prices accordingly. Should these costs go down, we may decrease our prices accordingly.
§ You may be offered the opportunity to participate in additional programs, such as a student referral program. If you choose to participate in any such program, you will be subject to the terms of those programs, if any.
A. Free Trials and Other Promotions or Sales
From time to time, we or others on our behalf may offer trials for some services for a specified period without payment or at a reduced rate (a “Trial”). Dalite Research & Health Services LTD reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to determine your eligibility for a Trial, and, subject to applicable laws, to withdraw or to modify a Trial at any time without prior notice and with no liability, to the greatest extent permitted under the law.
For some Trials, we will require you to provide a payment method to start the Trial. At the end of such Trials, we will automatically charge you via that payment method for the applicable paid subscription on the first day following the end of the Trial and on a recurring monthly or annual basis, unless you cancel prior to the end of the free Trial, or before the renewal date, as applicable. By providing your payment details in conjunction with the Trial, you agree to this charge using such payment method. If you do not want this initial charge, or the renewal charge, you must cancel the applicable paid subscription prior to the charge through your payment settings within your Dalite Research & Health Services LTD account profile.
We also occasionally run time-limited promotions and sales, during which time the cost of subscription may be lower. The subscription price we offer may be different when you are logged into your account compared to the price available to users who aren’t registered or logged in, for example because some of our promotions are available only to new users. Promotional or sale prices will typically be limited to a specified period of time (for example, one year for discounts on annual subscriptions). At the end of that period of time, your subscription will automatically renew at the then-applicable full price, unless you cancel prior to renewal by changing your settings on your account profile.
B. Refunds
Please consult our Refund Policy to learn more about whether you might be entitled to a refund for your purchase.
Dalite Research & Health Services LTD has no obligation to consider or grant refund requests, including (i) for subscription plans purchased with a 7-day or longer free trial; or (ii) that otherwise do not follow our Refund Policy. To the extent permissible under applicable law, you are entitled to one refund only. Once a refund for a subscription is confirmed, you will lose all access to your Dalite Research & Health Services LTD membership.
We will not provide refunds to users who have acted in a fraudulent manner or in a way that violates or would violate these Terms or our Community Guidelines (as determined in our sole discretion), including users who have been deactivated for the same.
If you made payments through subscription based systems like through the Apple iTunes Store, our iPhone application, the Google Play Store, or our Android application, please consult the refund policy associated with the service by which you subscribed.
C. Cancellations
You may cancel your Dalite Research & Health Services LTD membership at any time for any or no reason, but if you cancel your membership before the end of the current subscription period, we will not refund any subscription fees or any fees already paid to us or charged to your payment method except in the limited circumstances set forth in Section II.C above. To cancel your recurring subscription, please visit your payment settings within your Dalite Research & Health Services LTD account profile. If you cancel your Dalite Research & Health Services LTD membership, you will lose access to all classes you enrolled in during your Dalite Research & Health Services LTD membership at the end of your billing period.

Live Events

The contract for the purchase or provision of a Ticket to an Event is formed when Dalite Research & Health Services LTD, or a third-party partner acting on Dalite Research & Health Services LTD’s behalf, sends you a confirmation email stating that you have been given a ticket.
You authorize us to charge your payment method for such a transaction, where applicable. By submitting an offer to purchase and providing us, or a third-party partner acting on our behalf, with your payment method at checkout, you authorize Dalite Research & Health Services LTD (acting by its payment processor) to charge that payment method to take payment for your order.

Events may take place in different countries, and Tickets will be sold in Uganda Shillings (Ugx). You shall be responsible for any additional charges to which you may be subject by your credit or debit card provider or bank, or any currency exchange rate fluctuations and Dalite Research & Health Services LTD does not accept liability for these.
Dalite Research & Health Services LTD is not obliged to offer refunds for Tickets purchased for a specific date, should you change your mind about your purchase or fail to attend the Event. Should an Event be canceled, you will be entitled to a full refund of the price paid for any Tickets you purchased for that Event.
A Ticket is a personal revocable license which may be withdrawn, and admission refused, at any time, subject to these Terms and any terms related to the Event or on the Ticket itself. Before you purchase a Ticket, Dalite Research & Health Services LTD or the hosting Tutor will generally inform you of any restrictions which apply to entry. Dalite Research & Health Services LTD will not be responsible for the consequences of any failure by you to abide by such information provided pre-purchase. Ticket holders may also be ejected from an Event at any time if Dalite Research & Health Services LTD employees or an event organizer or those working on their behalf determines that the Ticket holder is acting in contravention of the law, is a safety or security risk, may affect the enjoyment of others at the Event, or may cause damage, nuisance, or injury.
Arbitration Agreement
Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights, including your right to file or participate in a lawsuit in court.
(1) Informal Dispute Resolution Procedure. If a Dispute (as that term is defined below) arises between you and Dalite Research & Health Services LTD, Dalite Research & Health Services LTD is committed to working with you to try to reach a reasonable resolution. For any such Dispute, both parties acknowledge and agree that they will first make a good faith effort to resolve it informally before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceeding in arbitration or otherwise. Such informal resolution requires first sending a written description of the dispute to the other party. For any Dispute you initiate, you agree to send the written description of the Dispute along with the email address associated with your account, if applicable, to the following email address: info@daliteresearch.com. The written description must be on an individual basis and provide, at minimum, the following information: your name; a description of the nature or basis of the claim or dispute; the specific relief sought; and proof of your relationship with Dalite Research & Health Services LTD. If the Dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days after receipt of the written description of the Dispute, you and Dalite Research & Health Services LTD agree to the further Dispute resolution provisions below.
This informal dispute resolution process is a prerequisite and condition precedent to commencing any formal dispute resolution proceeding. Failure to engage in this process could result in the award of fees against you in arbitration. The parties agree that any relevant limitations period and filing fees or other deadlines will be tolled while the parties engage in this informal dispute resolution process.
For sake of clarification only, the informal dispute resolution negotiation shall be individualized such that a separate negotiation must be held each time either party intends to commence individual arbitration; multiple individuals initiating claims cannot participate in the same informal dispute resolution negotiation, unless mutually agreed to by the parties. If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you shall also fully participate in the conference.
(2) Mutual Arbitration Agreement. If the informal dispute resolution procedure in Subpart (1) does not lead to resolution, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve Disputes, (except as provided for herein) subject to the terms set forth below and mean Arbitration and Conciliation Act of 2006 rules. If you are initiating arbitration, a copy of the demand shall also be emailed to info@daliteresearch.com. If you are a Dalite Research & Health Services LTD account holder, any demand initiating arbitration, whether filed by you or Dalite Research & Health Services LTD, must include the email address you used to create an account with Dalite Research & Health Services LTD.
Except as set forth below, you and Dalite Research & Health Services LTD agree that by using the Services in any way, you unconditionally consent and agree that any claim, dispute, or controversy (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) you may have against Dalite Research & Health Services LTD and/or its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, and each of their respective current or former members, officers, directors, and employees (all such individuals and entities collectively referred to herein as the “Dalite Research & Health Services LTD Entities”) arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms–including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, and any dispute regarding the payment, non-payment, or the timing of any administrative or arbitrator fees–(each a “Dispute”) will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration in accordance with this Sectio.3 (the “Arbitration Agreement”).
This Arbitration Agreement applies to claims that arose, were asserted, or involve facts occurring before the existence of this Arbitration Agreement or any prior agreement as well as claims that may arise after the termination of this Arbitration Agreement, in accordance with the notice and opt-out provisions set forth herein.
This Arbitration Agreement is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed by the Arbitration Act
The parties understand that an arbitrator and not a judge or jury will decide the Dispute, and that rights to discovery and appeals may be limited in arbitration. The parties further understand that the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation in some instances.
You hereby acknowledge and agree that by agreeing to these Terms and Arbitration Agreement, you and Dalite Research & Health Services LTD are each waiving the right to a trial by a jury to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all Disputes through arbitration, each party retains the right to (i) elect to have any claims resolved in small claims court on an individual basis for disputes and actions within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction, regardless of what forum the filing party initially chose; (ii) bring an action in state or federal court to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” in this context means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets and other confidential or proprietary information, but not privacy or publicity rights) or for defamation; and (iii) seek a declaratory judgment, injunction, or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction regarding whether a party’s claims are time-barred or may be brought in small claims court. Seeking such relief shall not waive a party’s right to arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, and any filed arbitrations related to any action filed pursuant to this paragraph shall automatically be stayed pending the outcome of such action.
(3) Class Arbitration and Collective Relief Waiver. You and Dalite Research & Health Services LTD acknowledge and agree that, to the maximum extent allowed by law, except as set out otherwise in Subpart (6) below, any arbitration shall be conducted in an individual capacity only and not as a class or collective arbitration and the arbitrator may award relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to resolve an individual party’s claim; notwithstanding this acknowledgement and agreement, you agree that any arbitration involving you may proceed on a consolidated basis, but it may do so if and only if Dalite Research & Health Services LTD provides its consent to consolidate in writing.
With the exception of this and Subpart (5) below, if any part of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the rules of Arbitration then the balance of this Arbitration Agreement shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal, or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, this Subpart (3) or Subpart (6) is found to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void, and neither you nor Dalite Research & Health Services LTD shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute.
(4) Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be administered by Section 19 of Arbitration and Conciliation Act 2006 and conducted before a sole arbitrator in accordance with the rules thereunder .
(5) Arbitration Location and Procedure. For Ugandan residents, the arbitration shall be held in accordance with Section 20 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 2006 (ii) at another location you and we agree upon. For non-Ugandan residents, the arbitration shall be held in Kampala City, Uganda (unless otherwise agreed by the parties).
The arbitrator shall apply Ugandan laws, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law. The arbitrator or arbitration body shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity.
