The Fee is paid online in a Student account by any available on the Website payment method. 
In order to pay the Fee in a full-time studying option, a Student is required to submit the amount of net income received in a certain month to his account. The Website will calculate the amount of Fee and you will proceed with payment.

Considering the nature of the services under the Terms and the Services Agreements, the refunds are available in case of overpayment or according to the specific terms of a respective Services Agreement. 
If you make an overpayment of the Fee or fall under the conditions of refund according to a respective Services Agreement, the amount of the overpayment or refund sum shall be reimbursed at your request.
In a full-time studying option, the amount of the overpayment may be counted against the next month's Fee amount. In such a case the next month's Fee amount may be reduced by the amount of the overpayment on your consent.
The decision on the refund of the overpayment or reduction of the amount of next month's Fee by the amount of the overpayment shall be made at our own discretion.  The request for refund may be rejected in case we identify there was no overpayment pursuant to the Agreement.
If you want to make a refund or if you want to set off the overpayment as payment for the next month, you have to contact us at the email address mentioned in a respective Services Agreement.

Any dispute between you and us arising out of the usage of the Website or Services, the formation, performance, interpretation, nullification, termination or invalidation of the Terms, or arising therefrom or related thereto in any manner whatsoever, shall be settled by courts located in Ukraine competent to resolve the dispute according to Ukrainian laws. 
Before bringing a claim against us, you agree to try to resolve the dispute by negotiation. Following this, please send us an email with your arguments. We will try to resolve the dispute informally by answering your email. If a dispute is not resolved within 15 days after submission, you or we may bring formal proceedings.

Miscellaneous
The Terms replace any other arrangements between the Parties as well as all prior versions thereof.

Should any provision of the Terms (a clause or a statement within a clause) be declared invalid or unenforceable, it should not affect the remaining provisions in whole or part.
Our failure to exercise any right or provision in the Terms should not be considered as a waiver of such right or provision of the Terms.
