3. Upgraded Memberships. Users may have the option to purchase additional features or functionality for their Brick English account ("Upgraded Membership"). Upgraded Memberships may be purchased either by (i) paying a recurring subscription fee; or (ii) pre-payment giving you access for a specific time period ("Pre-Paid Period"). The terms stated below will govern your participation in these programs.

Pre-Paid Membership Term: Upgraded Memberships purchased for a Pre-Paid Period will automatically terminate at the end of the Pre-Paid Period.
Group Orders:A Group Order provides credits towards multiple, individual Pre-Paid Period Upgraded Memberships via a unique upgrade link. The number of upgrade credits will be specified in the Group Order. Purchasers of Group Orders are solely responsible for the distribution of upgrade credits. All upgrades are non-transferable and irrevocable once a credit has been redeemed by an individual user account. Individual accounts which use a Group Order upgrade credit are not associated with any school, business, entity, institution or any other centralized account and the purchaser of the Group Order has no right to or interest in any account to which an upgrade credit has been applied, except where the purchaser of the Group Order and the holder of the account to which an upgrade credit has been applied are the same individual.
Subscription Cancellation by You: If you have purchased a recurring Upgraded Membership subscription, you may end your Upgraded Membership at any time. When you choose to end your Upgraded Membership subscription, your subscription does not renew on the next auto-renewal date. You may continue to enjoy your Upgraded Membership benefits until that date, after which your account will be automatically downgraded. Information on how to end your subscription can be found here.
Cancellation by Us: We may cancel your Upgraded Membership at any time for any reason, with or without prior notice.
Refunds: Except where required by law, Upgraded Memberships purchased directly through Brick English are non-refundable. Upgraded Memberships purchased through other platforms are subject to the refund policies of those platforms. Brick English cannot be held responsible for these platform’s policies.
Price changes: Brick English may change the price for upgraded memberships from time to time. Brick English will communicate any price changes to you in advance and, if applicable, how to accept those changes. Price changes for Upgraded Memberships will take effect at the start of the next subscription period following the date of the price change. As permitted by local law, you accept the new price by continuing to maintain your Upgraded Membership after the price change takes effect. If you do not agree with the price changes, you have the right to reject the change by unsubscribing from the Upgraded Membership prior to the price change going into effect. Please therefore make sure you read any such notification of price changes carefully.

You may access the Premium Content only for your own personal, educational use (“Personal Use”). Each account must purchase its own Content Subscription or enter its own Access Code, and accounts may not be shared by multiple users.
Restrictions: You may not use Premium Content for any commercial purpose. This means you can’t sell it, use it for advertising or marketing purposes, or use it in any other way in connection with a business or profit making activity. You may not post or otherwise make the Premium Content available on any website. You may not share, send, sell, sublicense, or transfer the Premium Content to someone else.
