If CTO Academy does not have the User email address, CTO Academy will update this page to reflect any changes to the Terms and Conditions.
Below are described the conditions governing the purchase of the Program through the Website and the rights and obligations arising from the subscription of these services.
The purchase of the Program must be carried out according to the instructions described in these Terms and Conditions, as well as any other specific conditions that may be indicated during the purchasing process on the screen or in any other way. Consequently, the Registered User declares to know and accept these mandatory conditions to access the services and/or Program offered on the Website.
The Program is a web-based training program created by CTO Academy comprising theory, analysis, interviews and value-added documents on companies, businesses, etc. In addition, the Program includes other types of benefits, such as webinars; virtual and face-to-face events; participation in directed forums; resolution of doubts in real time and/or others that may be determined by CTO Academy at any given time.
In this regard, CTO Academy hereby notifies the User that CTO Academy is a private company, not linked to any public or private university or educational entity and that the CTO Academy certificates it issues are strictly private.
This implies that the Program does not have, among others, AACSB, AMBA, EQUIS or any other similar certificates.
Therefore, the certificate that CTO Academy issues upon completion of the Program is a private one and is not issued or recognized by any public or private entity other than CTO Academy itself.
Thus, obtaining the aforementioned certificate does not imply recognition or positive assessment of the Program carried out by the User by any third party, including CTO Academy’s collaborators who may have participated in the execution of the Program.
It is mandatory that Users who wish to acquire the Program from CTO Academy must be of legal age or, if not, have the express authorization of their legal representatives to purchase and participate in the Program.
At the time of purchase, the User expressly represents and warrants that he/she has full legal capacity to contract the services provided by CTO Academy or, in the event that he/she requires any type of authorization from a third party, that he/she possesses such capacity and can prove it.
To acquire the Program offered through the Website, the User must first read these Terms and Conditions carefully.
The Program offered on the Website, along with their features and price, will appear on the information screens of each one of them. The price indicated on the screen will be shown in Dollars (for most territories), Euros and/or Pound Sterling (for territories where these currencies are applicable) and will include the applicable indirect taxes, unless otherwise stated.
This price will be the one in force at all times when the User makes the purchase, unless there is a typographical error.
CTO Academy regularly carries out promotional campaigns that may include discounts in the price of the Program, for example, through coupons or discounts. At the time of payment, the User may enter coupon codes, discount codes or any other method established by CTO Academy which may reduce the price of the order in the amount previously established.

The Privacy Policy adopted by CTO Academy determines how the personal data of the Users of the Website will be processed.
The fact that the User accepts these conditions does not imply the automatic acceptance and formalization of the purchase. CTO Academy will send a confirmation message to the email provided by the User in the registration form. However, the purchase will not be considered formalized, in any case, if the User has not proceeded to pay the full price of the Program.
The payment of the price of the Program purchased on the Website will be made by credit or debit card, or in accordance with any other payment methods that may be enabled on the Website at any time.
In order to proceed with the payment, the amount and the reference of the purchase will appear on the screen and the User will be asked to provide certain information, as requested during the purchasing process, which in any case will include, at least, the following: a) Card number; b) Expiry date; c) CVV (three-digit security code printed on the card). CTO Academy may use third party payment platforms and/or tools to manage payments that facilitate the payment of the contracted Program.

Any extension to this timeline will need prior approval from CTO Academy.
CTO Academy will provide the services as proficiently as possible, given the means and technologies currently available. However, the User must be aware that CTO Academy cannot fully guarantee the reliability, continuity, usefulness, absence of failures and/or harmful software, or truthfulness of absolutely all the information and/or services of the Website, nor the usefulness or truthfulness of the content made available through it.

CTO Academy will make periodic reviews of the content and information made available to Users on the Website, but cannot fully guarantee that it is accurate and up-to-date at all times. In the event that the User who has purchased a Program should detect, during the period of access to the Program, or within 12 months after the opening of the Program, any defect such as lack of documentation, content or agenda with respect to what was previously announced by CTO Academy, he/she may contact CTO Academy, indicating the defects and sending graphic evidence of such flaw.
