Technical Requirements

Participants are responsible for maintaining internet connectivity and compatible devices necessary to access programs. We are not liable for technical issues on the participant's end that prevent service access.

Fees and Payment

Program fees are specified during enrollment and must be paid according to the agreed schedule. Payment plans may be available for eligible participants. All fees are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.

Service Provided "As Is"

Our services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied.

No Employment Guarantees

Velorium provides educational services only. We make no representations regarding employment, advancement, or income potential. Career outcomes depend on numerous factors including market conditions, individual effort, prior experience, and circumstances beyond our control.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Velorium's liability is limited to the amount of fees paid by the participant for the specific program giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits or opportunities.

Severability

If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full effect. The unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.
