Our Products are provided for information and entertainment purposes only and for no other purpose. Our Products should not be regarded as or relied upon as being a comprehensive opinion or assessment concerning your psychological well-being or as a full-fledged overview of your relationship status. You should consult your doctor or a certified therapist, psychologist or psychiatrist to receive an accurate assessment and advice (no online test will be able to reflect the nuances of an individual or their cognitive abilities; to be able to address the majority of the population, our surveys and tests are abstract in nature). Any decisions that you make once you have read the content of our Products are for you alone and we will not be liable for the consequences of any such decisions. Our Products are not to be used for taking any decision. Our Products are for personal use only and are not intended for use in any business, employment or recruitment context.

We are not responsible if information made available on this site is not accurate, complete or current. The material on this site is provided for general information only and should not be relied upon or used as the sole basis for making decisions without consulting primary, more accurate, more complete or more timely sources of information. Any reliance on the material on this site is at your own risk. The website contains tests that aim to indicate cognitive abilities and provides some general recommendations of how to improve cognitive abilities. By using these tests you agree that they are provided for public use with no guarantee of validity or accuracy of the results, and are not to be interpreted as diagnostic or indicative of any illness, disability, or malfunction. If you do have any concerns about your results after taking one of the tests, consult your GP for professional advice. This site may contain certain historical information. Historical information, necessarily, is not current and is provided for your reference only. We reserve the right to modify the contents of this site at any time, but we have no obligation to update any information on our site.

Section 5 - Purchase of Digital Content

We offer digital content for purchase on the Website. At the time you place any order for which payment is required you must give authority for payment. We may take payment from you at any time between you placing the order and us providing you the goods (e.g. via email) or you requesting the download of digital content.

Your order is an offer to purchase from us. There will be no contract of any kind between you and us unless and until we actually take payment from you. At any point up until then, we may decline to supply the goods or digital content to you without giving any reason. If we take payment and subsequently fail to provide the goods or make the digital content available to you for any reason we will refund you in full.

The prices payable for the items that your order are clearly set out on the Website. If, by mistake, we have under-priced an item, we will not be liable to supply that item to you at the stated price provided that we notify you before we provide or make available the item concerned.

Payments are made through the Website electronically. When you pay by credit or debit card you consent to us or our payment partners carrying out certain checks which include obtaining authorisation from your card issuer to ensure that you have adequate funds and for security reasons. This may involve validating your name, address and other personal information with your bank or credit reference agencies if necessary.

In the event that we make a change to or cancel an order, we may attempt to notify you by contacting the email and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time the order was made. We reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers or distributors.

You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address and credit card numbers and expiration dates, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.
