11. Definition
1. An “Online Course” is a form of distance learning that allows individuals to enhance their knowledge and skills on a specific subject through internet￾based resources. To complete an online course, you must have an email account and internet access. There is no requirement to attend physical classes or visit an educational institution. Upon successful completion, you will typically receive a digital certificate. Some online courses may necessitate an online assessment for completion. Online courses are accessible through the use of an “Online Course Code.”

2. An “Online Course Code” is a unique digital code that can be redeemed on the respective websites of specific online course providers. Redeeming an Online Course Code on the provider’s website will either automatically enroll you in the designated course or credit your account on the provider’s website, allowing you to enroll in the purchased course. Your access to any Online Course Code purchased through us will be provided via a unique digital code delivered to your registered email address.

12. Limitations of Online Course Codes
1. Online Course Codes cannot be used or accessed through the Raines Africa website. To utilize Online Course Codes and access online courses, you must visit the relevant online course provider’s website.

2. Internet connectivity is essential for using Online Course Codes and accessing online courses. Subsequent use and access may be subject to specific usage restrictions imposed by the online course provider’s website.

13. Ordering Online Course Codes
1. When ordering Online Course Codes from us, you are essentially purchasing the right to access an online course from the respective online course provider’s website. If your order is accepted by Raines Africa, the delivery will be electronic and take place over the internet, as described below:

1. After Raines Africa accepts your order and receives confirmation of payment, we will obtain your Online Course Code from the relevant online course and deliver it to your registered email address. Please refer to section 12.4.1 for delivery speed information.

2. It’s essential to note the following restrictions:
1. Online course providers often limit the number of times an Online Course Code can be applied to a single application to reduce the risk of fraud. You acknowledge that the use of an Online Course Code may be blocked after the first application to prevent fraud.

2. Access to the online course may be denied if you have already completed the course, or if Raines Africa has removed it based on your “return” of the online course (if possible, in accordance with Raines Africa’s Returns Policy for Online Course Codes).

3. Raines Africa does not guarantee that online course providers will make their online courses available for download and use indefinitely. Raines Africa accepts no responsibility or liability for any situation where an online course becomes unavailable. However, if you report such an issue within 6 months of receiving the Online Course Code, you may be entitled to a full refund of the purchase price.

3. We do not charge delivery fees for the electronic delivery of Online Course Codes. However, you may incur costs (e.g., internet service provider fees) associated with accessing and using the online course, and we will not be liable for any such costs incurred by you.

4. Practical considerations regarding Online Course Codes:
1. The Online Course Code is your unique code provided by the online course provider for a specific online course.

2. When utilizing the Online Course Code on the online course provider’s website, you may be required to sign up and register, which is in no way affiliated, associated with, or linked to Raines Africa.

3. If you encounter any issues related to the use of your Online Course Code, please report them to us so that we can assist you in resolving the problem.

14. Return of Online Course Codes: Please refer to our Returns Policy for details.

15. Illegal Use of Online Course Codes:
1. By purchasing any Online Course Code and accessing online courses, you acknowledge and agree to the provisions of sections 12.6.1-12.6.3.

2. You hereby acknowledge and agree to these Terms and Conditions and undertake not to engage in any “Illegal Activities.” You also indemnify Raines Africa from any loss, damage, or expenses it may incur or claims made by third parties against Raines Africa resulting from your participation in Illegal Activities related to any Online Course Code sold by Raines Africa.
