The user also understands and acknowledges this disabled function as part of the subscription terms.

The content available at Amedex.com.au/ Amedex app is only an educational tool for medical students and graduates. This is not intended to predict your performance on the AMC MCQ CAT Exam but is designed to help you assess relative strengths and weaknesses in different subjects and systems of medicine.
The Amedex.com.au/ Amedex app has been tested with a wide range of computer configurations; however, due to the rapidly evolving computer industry, changing policies of Application hosts such as Google Play Store, Apple App Store, etc., and unpredictability of various factors affecting our services and functions, Amedex neither does guarantee the functionality of its software on every configuration/ device nor does the predictable function of the software in general. Possible damages to your computer device software or hardware are at your own risk.
To use the amedex.com.au/ Amedex app contents, you need to use device(s) that meet the minimum system requirements both hardware-wise and software-wise. If you cannot use the content or your subscriptions due to such discrepancies, Amedex is not held liable whatsoever and preserves every right to decline any request for refund for that matter asked by the user/ subscriber. You can click here to find these minimum system requirements in the 'FAQ/Technical Issues/ Minimum system requirements' on the website.
Amedex platform is designed to have its optimal function on laptop/desktop computers using either Microsoft Windows (10 or higher) or MacOS operating systems. Although we make a reasonable endeavour to facilitate smooth access to the subscription content on other common devices such as mobile phones and tablets, due to the fast pace of the technology and frequent updates on the operating systems of such devices, we cannot guarantee the proper function of Amedex application on any other devices than laptops or desktop computers meeting the minimum requirements.
An internet connection is required while the amedex.com.au/ Amedex app is in use, and a Wi-Fi internet connection with an unlimited data plan is highly recommended (for both unlimited upload and unlimited download). You agree that we will not be held liable for any data charges, overage fees, or any other miscellaneous fees or costs resulting directly or indirectly from using the Amedex.com.au/ Amedex app on your computer/device.
You agree that you will not attempt, in any way, to copy or capture the contents of any screen. We reserve the right to disable your account without refund if you attempt to copy Amedex.com.au/ Amedex app contents, except those that are provided with the ability to be shared via Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, google+, and other social media.
5- Access to subscription content
You shall be allowed to use the licensed materials for the specific course(s) and materials to which you have subscribed. Each course has its subscription fee and duration. You are not allowed to access the content of courses or other services for which you have not subscribed.
NOTE - once your subscription starts, it cannot be paused or put on hold whatsoever.
6- Orders
Most of the information collected in the registration process will be used to process orders. During the order process, you must provide financial information such as your credit/debit card number, expiration date, CVV2 code, payee name, and billing address. This information is used for billing purposes and to fulfil your order. To properly process your credit/debit card information, we must share your personal and financial information with the merchant bank or payment gateway for authorisation and approval. This process is protected by an enhanced security system provided by the merchant bank or payment gateway provider, not us. Your personal and financial information will be treated and processed under our Privacy Policy for any third party. When you attempt a transaction on the amedex.com.au/ Amedex app, the card processor verifies available funds by placing a hold, or pending charge, on the amount of the intended transaction against your card. The card processor then confirms the accuracy of your remaining information (e.g., your card number, CVV2 code, expiration date, etc.) before processing the transaction. The transaction is declined if you enter an incorrect address or other required details. This is NOT a situation unique to us, but it is how virtually all online transactions are handled. Typically, the card issuing bank takes 2-5 days to clear associated pending charges resulting from failed/declined attempts. We charge for each successful transaction attempt and confirm such on the Amedex.com.au/ Amedex app. Upon each successful transaction on our website, we also send a confirmation email to the registered email address.
