You must provide accurate, current and complete information during the creation or activation process of your Platform account and keep your information up to date.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your Platform account credentials and may not disclose your credentials to anyone.

Paid subscription fees are charged on a recurring basis (monthly, annually, or as otherwise specified) and are billed in advance.
2.3 Payment Authorization
By providing payment information, you authorize us to charge your designated payment method for all fees incurred. You are responsible for ensuring your payment information is current and valid. If we are unable to charge your method of payment, we may terminate your subscription. You waive any right for an advance notice before your payment method is charged for recurring charges per the terms of your selected subscription.

- Taxes. Subscription fees do not include applicable taxes, including sales, value-added, goods and services, special and harmonized taxes. You are responsible for all applicable taxes arising from or resulting from your subscription to the Platform except taxes levied on the income of Agora and its affiliates. To the extent that Agora charges such taxes, they are calculated using the applicable tax rates based on the billing address you provided. If we do not charge taxes, you are responsible for determining whether taxes are due, and if so, for remitting any applicable taxes to the appropriate tax authorities in your jurisdiction.
3. Digital Tokens
3.1 Digital Tokens
You may earn or purchase digital tokens that can be exchanged for digital assets, special features or other items within the Platform (“Digital Tokens”).
3.2 Nature of Digital Tokens
Digital Tokens are a purely virtual currency used exclusively to acquire rights to Digital Assets or unlock features on the Platform. Digital Tokens:
- Have no monetary value and cannot be exchanged for cash or legal tender;
- Cannot be transferred, sold, or exchanged between users;
- Expire upon account termination or as otherwise specified in these Terms;
- Do not constitute property and confer no property rights;
3.3 Earning Digital Tokens
You may earn Digital Tokens by completing activities on the Platform or by any method designated from time to time by Agora.
The rate at which Digital Tokens are earned may vary by subscription tier and activity type, and we reserve the right to modify earning rates at any time without notice.
3.4 Purchasing Digital Tokens
You may purchase Digital Tokens with real money from Agora and only from Agora. Purchasing Digital Tokens from any other source is prohibited and Agora will not transfer Digital Tokens from one account to another under any circumstances. Digital Token purchases are final and non-refundable.
You may not sell, trade, transfer, or attempt to exchange Digital Tokens outside the Platform. Any such attempt may result in immediate termination of your account and forfeiture of all Digital Tokens without refund.
3.5 No Real-World Value; No Redemption

4. Digital Asset Licensing
4.1 Acquisition of Digital Assets
You may use Digital Tokens to obtain licenses to digital assets made available through the Platform (“Digital Asset”). When you use Digital Tokens to "purchase" a Digital Asset, you receive a perpetual, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access, download, and use the Digital Asset solely for personal, non-commercial purposes, subject to these Terms. This means you can use the digital asset for your own educational purposes and personal projects, including for showcasing such project publicly, but you may not:
- Use Digital Assets for any commercial purpose or for financial gain;
- Resell, sublicense, distribute, or transfer Digital Assets or licenses to third parties;
- Remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or proprietary notices on Digital Assets;
- Use Digital Assets in any manner that infringes third-party intellectual property rights;
- Use Digital Assets in connection with unlawful, harmful, offensive, or defamatory content;
- Claim ownership of Digital Assets or misrepresent your license rights;
4.2 Ownership
All Digital Assets remain the exclusive property of Agora and/or its licensors or IP rights owners. Your license does not transfer any ownership rights to you. Agora, its licensors and rights owners retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Digital Assets, including all intellectual property rights.
4.3 No Refunds for Digital Assets
All Digital Asset license purchases are final and non-refundable. Once you use Digital Tokens to obtain a license to a Digital Asset, the transaction cannot be reversed, and Digital Tokens will not be returned. Withdrawal rights or other cancellation rights are not applicable on Digital Assets.
4.4 Revocation of License
We reserve the right to revoke your license to use any Digital Asset at any time if:
- You violate these Terms;
- We determine that the Digital Asset infringes third-party rights;
- We discontinue offering the Digital Asset for legal or business reasons;
If we revoke your license to a Digital Asset for legal or business reasons not related to your breach of these Terms, we will credit your Digital Token balance with the cost of the revoked license.
Upon revocation, you agree to immediately cease all use of the Digital Asset. Failure to comply with this clause may result in suspension or termination of your account.
4.5 No Warranty; No Support
Digital Assets are provided "AS IS" without warranties of any kind, including any warranty of non-infringement or fitness for particular purpose.
We do not provide technical support of any kind with respect to Digital Assets.
5. Platform Content
5.1 Right in Content
Content available through the Platform, including text, assets, images, drawings, video sequences, audio content, reviews and logos, is our exclusive property or is used under appropriate license or permission from the owners, holders, or licensees of the applicable rights. Other users may own some content available on the Platform. You may use content available through the Platform only as expressly permitted by the rights owners. Use permissions are stated on the page where content is made available. Most content is not available for commercial use.
You agree that you will not copy, use or share content posted by other users of the Platform without their permission, where applicable.
5.2 Changes to Available Content
We may change the content available on the Platform at our discretion with or without prior notice. Your subscription does not entitle you to any specific content, courses or materials.
5.3 Content Sharing
You are authorized to share some Platform content on social media platforms through sharing features available on the Platform.
If your subscription gives you access to exclusive content not available to the free tiers users, you cannot provide this content to other people to circumvent the subscription terms and conditions. You are not authorized to publish paid-subscriber only content.
6. User Content
6.1 User Responsibility
Some features of the Platform allow you to post content, including comments, on the Platform that can be made accessible to the public or certain members of the Platform (the “User Content”). You are fully responsible for any User Content you post on the Platform and must ensure that you have all necessary authorizations to publish such User Content. You represent and warrant to Agora that you are authorized to share your User Content with the public worldwide and to grant us the license described below. You further warrant that your User Content (a) does not infringe on other people’s or organizations’ rights, including intellectual property rights, privacy rights and image and likeness rights and (b) is not unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar or obscene.
6.2 Rights and Licenses to User Content
By posting User Content on the Platform, you retain all proprietary rights you may have in and to your User Content (not including any rights in Digital Assets or Agora provided content). However, you grant Agora a worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to use, modify, adapt, translate, communicate to the public by telecommunication or otherwise any User Content only to the extent necessary to operate the Platform and provide our services to you and other users.
6.3 User Content is Available Publicly
When you post User Content to the Platform, you agree that depending on our choices, the general public or other members of the Platform may have access to your User Content. Agora does not grant permission to any person to use your User Content other than as necessary to use the Platform. However, Agora does not take responsibility for the actions of other users who may have access to your content through the Platform. You agree that you will not make a claim against Agora because a third party is misusing your User Content based on the fact that this third party accessed your User Content through the Platform. Webpages on the Platform are indexed by search engines and your User Content may be viewable by the public.
6.4 Content Moderation
We may remove any User Content posted in violation of these Terms of Service or if deemed inappropriate at our sole discretion from the Platform. However, we do not systematically approve User Content before it is posted and/or systematically monitor User Content posted on the Platform and we disclaim responsibility for User Content. Consequently, you acknowledge that you may be exposed to inappropriate content on the Platform.
6.5 Fair Use and Storage Policy
The Platform is designed for e-learning and community interaction. While we provide hosting for your User Content, this is subject to "Fair Use." We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to limit, suspend, or terminate access to hosting features if your usage (including but not limited to file size, total storage volume, or bandwidth consumption) is deemed excessive, abusive, or significantly outside the norm of typical educational platform usage.
You agree not to use the Platform as a general-purpose cloud storage, data backup, or content distribution service. We may implement automated technical limits on file uploads or storage at any time without notice to ensure the stability and performance of the Platform for all users.
No Guarantee of Availability. We do not guarantee that User Content will be available, accessible, or stored indefinitely. We may delete, move, or discard User Content at any time, for any reason, without notice. You are solely responsible for maintaining your own backups of any User Content you upload to the Platform. Agora shall not be liable for any loss, corruption, or deletion of your User Content.
6.6 Account Deletion
If you delete your account, you will have the choice to delete your User Content. If you choose not to delete your User Content, it will no longer be associated with your account (anonymized), but will remain available on the Platform and you will not be able to request removal thereafter.
