When you watch our videos on YouTube, you are also bound by the YouTube Terms of Service, and your data is handled under the Google Privacy Policy. Our handling of any data received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

6. Certificates & Exams

Optional exams and certificates (including WIA CKL credentials) are provided as a learning and assessment tool. Eligibility, scoring, and issuance follow the rules published on the service. Certificates are issued in good faith based on the information you provide; we may revoke a certificate obtained through fraud or misrepresentation.

Core learning content is free. Certain optional features may require payment. Where fees apply, the price and terms will be shown before you purchase. Unless stated otherwise or required by law, fees are non-refundable.

8. Privacy

Your use of the service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains what information we collect and how we use it.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Smilestory Co., Ltd. shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data or profits, arising from your use of or inability to use the service.
