INOSYS will not sell your personal data to third parties. Data may be shared with trusted service providers operating on INOSYS's behalf, subject to appropriate data protection agreements.

13. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

  • Platform Availability. INOSYS provides the Platform on an “as is” and “as available” basis. INOSYS does not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from viruses or other harmful components. INOSYS may perform maintenance, updates, or modifications that temporarily limit access to the Platform.
  • No Educational Warranty. Courses and programmes on the Platform are provided for educational and informational purposes. INOSYS does not guarantee any specific learning outcome, career result, or professional qualification from completion of any course.
  • Limitation of Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, INOSYS, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, and licensors shall not be liable for:
    • any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages;
    • any loss of profits, revenue, data, business, or goodwill; or
    • any damages arising from your use of or inability to use the Platform, even if INOSYS has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

In no event shall INOSYS's total liability to you for all claims arising under or in connection with these Terms exceed the total amount you have paid to INOSYS in the 12 months preceding the claim.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability. In such cases, INOSYS's liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless INOSYS, Cosmos Origin LLC, and their respective officers, directors, employees, partners, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with:

  • your breach of these Terms; or
  • your violation of any applicable law or the rights of any third party.

15. Account Suspension and Termination

INOSYS reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account and access to the Platform, with or without notice, if:

  • INOSYS reasonably believes your account has been used fraudulently or in a manner that harms the Platform or other users;
  • you fail to pay any fees due; or
  • INOSYS is required to do so by applicable law or a regulatory authority.

Upon termination, your right to access the Platform ceases immediately. INOSYS may delete your account data in accordance with its data retention policy, subject to any legal obligations to retain such data.

You may close your account at any time by contacting support@inosys.org. Closing your account does not entitle you to a refund of any fees already paid, except as provided under the Refund Policy.

16. Changes to the Platform and Terms

INOSYS reserves the right to modify, update, or discontinue the Platform, or any feature or service thereof, at any time with or without notice.

  • Arbitration. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally within 30 days, the parties agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration and Conciliation Act (as amended by the Arbitration and Mediation Act 2023) of Nigeria. The arbitration shall be conducted in Abuja, Nigeria, in the English language.
