Effective Date: 03 January, 2023

Welcome to Gemba Academy. Please read these Terms of Use carefully because they are a binding agreement (“Agreement”) between you and Gemba Academy Inc.

This Agreement governs your use of the websites, products and services, and content (collectively the “Sites”) that link to these Terms of Use. You automatically agree to these Terms of Use and to our Privacy Policy simply by using the Sites.

This Agreement in no way creates any agency, partnership, joint venture, or employee-employer or franchisor-franchisee relationship between you and Gemba Academy.

Your Account

You may be required to create an account and specify a password in order to access certain features or content on the Sites. To create an account, you must be at least 18 years old and you must provide truthful and accurate information about yourself. If your information changes at any time, please update your account to reflect those changes.

In some cases, an account may be assigned to you by an administrator, such as your employer. If you are using or logging into an account assigned to you by an administrator, additional terms may apply to your use of the Sites. Moreover, your administrator may be able to access or disable your account without our involvement.

You may not share your account with anyone else. You agree to maintain the confidentiality of your password and are fully responsible for all liability and damages resulting from your failure to maintain that confidentiality as well as all activities that occur through the use of your password. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your password or any other breach of security.

Accounts are non-transferrable. You will notify Gemba Academy of any event, such as acquisition or sale, that changes the access agreed to so that license and account changes can be developed to reflect the new situation.

Use of the Sites

Gemba Academy grants you a nonexclusive, nontransferable, revocable license to access and use our Sites strictly in accordance with this Agreement. Your use of our Sites is solely for internal, personal, noncommercial purposes unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement.

You acknowledge that you have reviewed the minimum system requirements noted on the support page and that you have tested your system by viewing at least one of the videos to make sure it was compatible with your system.

You agree not to use the Sites for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by these Terms of Use or interferes with the Sites or any features on the Sites. If we, in our sole discretion, determine that you have acted inappropriately, we reserve the right to terminate your account, prohibit you from using the Sites, and take appropriate legal actions.

You may provide links to our Sites provided that (a) you do not remove or obscure any portion of our Sites by framing or otherwise, (b) your website does not engage in illegal or pornographic activities, and (c) you cease providing links to our Sites immediately upon our request. The Sites may contain links to third-party websites. That doesn’t mean that we control or endorse those websites or any goods or services sold on those websites.

Fees, Payments, and Refunds

You acknowledge that Gemba Academy reserves the right to charge for use of any portion of the Sites and to change its fees from time to time at its discretion. You represent and warrant that if you are purchasing something from us, will pay the charges incurred by you at the posted prices, including any applicable taxes, and if your initial payment method is dishonored, you will still pay the incurred charges, including any surcharge we may incur due to the dishonored payment.

Subscription Products: You acknowledge that Gemba Academy online subscriptions are recurring and will automatically renew at the end of your subscription period. You may cancel your subscription at any time, and it is your responsibility to cancel your subscription by contacting Gemba Academy by email or phone before your account automatically renews.

Certification Products: Certifications reflect the knowledge and performance of a specific individual, and therefore once started cannot be transferred to another individual to continue or complete.

No refunds will be issued after any purchase or account renewal.
