1. Purchase process for online courses in digital format

With the purchase of an online course in digital format, the user will be able to enjoy this product for life. However, if this product were to be eliminated or replaced by another, or if the sales model for RiC products were to change, for example to a subscription model with a price to be paid each month in order to benefit from the products, or if RiC website were to disappear, the customer would only be able to continue to benefit from his product if he asked RiC to send him a link so that he could download his product (a very similar, downloadable version) onto a computer.

Access to the content of the online courses in digital format requires an Internet connection to be used in its entirety, but customers will be able to enjoy documents in PDF format and audio files without being connected to the Internet if they have previously downloaded these PDF or audio files.

The platform may experience temporary errors due, for example, to interruptions in the internet connection or other malfunctions beyond the control of the Seller. The Seller undertakes to do its utmost to ensure that the platform operates correctly but is not held responsible or obliged to compensate the user for these temporary malfunctions.
