Below are described the conditions governing the purchase of the Program through the Website and the rights and obligations arising from the subscription of these services.

 

The purchase of the Program must be carried out according to the instructions described in these Terms and Conditions, as well as any other specific conditions that may be indicated during the purchasing process on the screen or in any other way. Consequently, the Registered User declares to know and accept these mandatory conditions to access the services and/or Program offered on the Website.

  1. Procedures for the acquisition of the Program

 

The Program is a web-based training program created by ThePowerMBA comprising theory, analysis, interviews and value-added documents on companies, businesses, etc. In addition, the Program include other types of benefits, such as webinars; virtual and face-to-face events; participation in directed forums; resolution of doubts in real time and/or others that may be determined by ThePowerMBA at any given time.

 

In this regard, ThePowerMBA hereby notifies the User that TPMBA Group is group of private companies, not linked to any public or private university or educational entity and that the TPMBA Group certificates it issues are strictly private, although they may benefit from certain incentives, such as those relating to certain subsidized training in Spain or any other incentive which could be applicable to TPMBA Group in any country in which it offers its products. This implies that the Program do not have, among others, AACSB, AMBA, EQUIS or any other similar certificates.

 

Therefore, the certificate that ThePowerMBA issues upon completion of the various Program is a private one and is not issued or recognized by any public or private entity other than ThePowerMBA itself. Thus, obtaining the aforementioned certificate does not imply recognition or positive assessment of the Program carried out by the User by any third party, including ThePowerMBA’s collaborators who may have participated in the execution of the Program.

 

It is mandatory that Users who wish to acquire the Program from ThePowerMBA must be of legal age or, if not, have the express authorization of their legal representatives to purchase and participate in the Program. At the time of purchase, the User expressly represents and warrants that he/she have full legal capacity to contract the services provided by ThePowerMBA or, in the event that he/she require any type of authorization from a third party, that he/she possesses such capacity and can prove it.

 

To acquire the Program offered through the Website, the User must first read these Terms and Conditions carefully.

 

The Program offered on the Website, along with their features and price, will appear on the information screens of each one of them. The price indicated on the screen will be shown in Euros, in Dollars or in the local currency of each country and will include the applicable indirect taxes, unless otherwise stated. This price will be the one in force at all times when the User makes the purchase, unless there is a typographical error. ThePowerMBA regularly carries out promotional campaigns that may include discounts in the price of the Program, for example, through coupons or discounts. At the time of payment, the User may enter coupon codes, discount codes or any other method established by ThePowerMBA which may reduce the price of the order in the amount previously established.

 

In order to acquire the Program on the Website, the User must select the desired Program and click on the “Purchase” or “Join the Program” button or similar expression and proceed to complete the required information, after which the payment must be made by the User. Before doing so, the User must check the exact characteristics of each Program as described on the Website, with the options the User has chosen for payment in instalments or in a lump sum, access limited by the time indicated or unlimited in time, price, or applicable taxes if any, to assess whether the Program meets his/her needs.

 

In the event that the User has selected the installment payment option (if applicable), the User may choose to pay the purchased Program in installments under the terms and conditions shown on the screen once this option has been selected by the User. For illustration purposes, the information shown to the User will include (i) the duration of the financing; (ii) the interest derived from the financing; (iii) the entity responsible for the financing and with which the User will contract directly; (iv) the period of validity of the financing conditions; (v) the minimum and maximum amount to be financed; and (v) the rest of the specific financing conditions.

 

In the event that the financing is not offered by ThePowerMBA, the User who has chosen this option must enter into a separate contract with the corresponding entity, without ThePowerMBA being a party in such transaction. In such case, the User is fully aware and accepts that he/she freely enters into such contract with such entity and that ThePowerMBA shall at no time be liable for any issues arising from such financing.

 

Subsequently, ThePowerMBA may request the User to enter certain information on the Website, by filling out an electronic form, which must provide all data that are marked as mandatory with an asterisk (*). The Privacy Policy adopted by ThePowerMBA determines how the personal data of the Users of the Website will be processed.

 

The User will receive on screen the conditions of the purchase and must accept them to continue with the purchase. The fact that the User accepts these conditions does not imply the automatic acceptance and formalization of the purchase. ThePowerMBA will send a confirmation message to the email provided by the User in the registration form. However, the purchase will not be considered formalized, in any case, if the User has not proceeded to pay the full price of the Program.

 

The payment of the price of the Program purchased on the Website will be made by credit or debit card, or in accordance with any other payment methods that may be enabled on the Website at any time.

 

In order to proceed with the payment, the amount and the reference of the purchase will appear on the screen and the User will be asked to provide certain information, as requested during the purchasing process, which in any case will include, at least, the following: a) Card number; b) Expiry date; c) CVV (three-digit security code printed on the card). ThePowerMBA may use third party payment platforms and/or tools to manage payments that facilitate the payment of the contracted Program. In particular, in order to guarantee the highest security to the User, ThePowerMBA informs the User that, as an electronic payment system, it has a partnership agreement with the secure online payment platform Stripe, although this may change IN THE FUTURE for operational or similar reasons.

 

In the event that the User chooses the “payment in instalments” option and the Registered User does not make the regular payments agreed upon, ThePowerMBA will proceed to notify the User of said default of payment, granting him/her a reasonable period of time to cure it and if this does not occur, ThePowerMBA will proceed to suspend access to the Program until said payment is made. ThePowerMBA reserves the right to claim the due amounts if it deems that the degree of use of the materials of the Program exceeds the proportion of the amounts paid to the total agreed price.

Regardless of the links established by ThePowerMBA, if any User, entity or website wishes to establish any type of link to the Website, he/she must abide by the following provisions:

  • The link may only be directed to the home page of the Website, unless expressly authorized in writing by ThePowerMBA.

  • The link must be absolute and complete, that is, it must take the user, by means of a click, to the address thepowermba.com and must completely cover the entire screen extension of the Website’s home page. Under no circumstances, unless expressly authorized in writing by ThePowerMBA, may the linking website reproduce, in any way, the Website, include it as part of its web or within one of its “frames” or create a “browser” on any of the Website’s pages.

  • The page establishing the link may not state, in any way, that ThePowerMBA has authorized such link, unless ThePowerMBA has done so expressly and in writing. If the entity providing the link from its page to the Website correctly wishes to include the brand, name, trade name, label, logo, slogan or any other type of identifying element of ThePowerMBA and/or the Website in its web page, it must first have the express written authorization of ThePowerMBA.

  • ThePowerMBA does not authorize the establishment of a link to the Website from those web pages that contain material, information or content that is illicit, illegal, degrading, obscene, and in general, that contravenes morality, public order or generally accepted social norms.

  • ThePowerMBA has no capacity or human or technical means to know, control or approve all the information, content or services provided by other websites that have established links to the Website.

  • ThePowerMBA assumes no responsibility for any aspect of the website that establishes such a link to the Website, specifically, but not limited to, its operation, access, data, information, files, quality and reliability of their products and services, their own links and / or any of its contents, in general.

  1. Dispute Resolution

 

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH US AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF. THIS SECTION 12 OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE REFERRED TO AS THE “ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.”

12.1. Scope of Arbitration Agreement

You agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to your access or use of the Services or as a consumer of our services, to any advertising or marketing communications regarding us or our Website, to any products or services sold or distributed through the Website that you received as a consumer, or to any aspect of your relationship or transactions with us as a consumer of our services will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify, so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis; and (2) you or ThePowerMBA may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the Effective Date of this Agreement.

IF YOU AGREE TO ARBITRATION WITH THEPOWERMBA, YOU ARE AGREEING IN ADVANCE THAT YOU WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN OR SEEK TO RECOVER MONETARY OR OTHER RELIEF IN ANY SUCH CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE LAWSUIT. INSTEAD, BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU MAY BRING YOUR CLAIMS AGAINST US IN AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. IF SUCCESSFUL ON SUCH CLAIMS, YOU COULD BE AWARDED MONEY OR OTHER RELIEF BY AN ARBITRATOR.

12.2. Arbitration Rules and Forum

This Arbitration Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act in all respects. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our email legal@thepowermba.com. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS under its rules and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com (under the Rules/Clauses tab) or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitration fees will be governed by JAMS’s rules. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver of fees from JAMS, we will pay them for you. In addition, we will reimburse all such JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for claims with an amount in controversy totaling less than $10,000. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, video conference, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location.

12.3. Arbitrator Powers

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and ThePowerMBA. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other proceedings or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and this Agreement (including this Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator will issue a written statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which any award (or decision not to render an award) is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator shall follow the applicable law. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The arbitrator’s decision is final and binding on you and ThePowerMBA.

12.4. Waiver of Jury Trial

YOU AND THEPOWERMBA WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND RECEIVE A JUDGE OR JURY TRIAL. You and ThePowerMBA are instead electing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration, except as specified above under “Scope of Arbitration Agreement.” There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited.

12.5. Class Action or Consolidated Action Waiver

ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR AS A NAMED OR UNNAMED MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL LEGAL ACTION. THE USER’S ACCESS AND CONTINUED USE OF THE WEBSITE SIGNIFIES THE USER EXPLICIT CONSENT TO THIS WAIVER. If, however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable with respect to a particular claim or dispute, neither you nor ThePowerMBA is entitled to arbitration of such claim or dispute. Instead, all such claims and disputes will then be resolved in a court as set forth in Section 12.

12.6. Opt Out

You may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you do so, neither you nor ThePowerMBA can force the other to arbitrate as a result of this Agreement. To opt out, you must notify ThePowerMBA in writing no later than 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your email address (if you have one), and a CLEAR statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. You must send your opt-out notice to: legal@thepowermba.com. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may have entered into with us or may enter into in the future with us.

12.7. Survival

This Arbitration Agreement will survive any termination of your relationship with us.

12.8. Modification

Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if we make any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, it will not apply to any individual claim(s) that you had already provided notice of to us.

 

  1. Privacy Policy.

 

Any personal data provided by Users during the use of the Website will be processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy is part of these Terms and Conditions. By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions, the User is also consenting to ThePowerMBA use of the User’s personal information in accordance with ThePowerMBA’s Privacy Policy.

  1. Applicable law and jurisdiction.

 

Purchasing any service and/or Program through the Website shall be governed by Spanish law, which shall apply to those matters not contemplated in these Terms and Conditions regarding interpretation, validity and execution.

In the event of any disagreement or claim between the User and ThePowerMBA in relation to the performance or content of these Terms and Conditions, the parties will negotiate in good faith to attempt to resolve such disagreement or claim within a maximum period of one month from the date either party formally notifies the other of the disagreement that has arisen and/or notifies the claim.

 

Nonetheless, in the event that the disagreement or claim is not resolved within the maximum period indicated and only in cases in which the parties are permitted under these Terms and Conditions to initiate litigation in a court and the regulations foresee the possibility for the parties to submit to a jurisdiction, ThePowerMBA and the User, expressly waiving any jurisdiction that may correspond to them, submit the decision of the matter raised to the Courts and Tribunals of the city of Madrid (Spain). All the above shall apply unless the User is an individual consumer and the User’s local regulations, if applicable to ThePowerMBA, states otherwise.

These terms and conditions (“Terms and conditions”) have been amended on 7 June 2021.
