When you purchased or opted-into any Offering on our Website, you were given reasonable notice that these Terms of Use existed. By purchasing and accessing any Offering you implicitly agree to abide by these Terms of Use, confirm you are aware of any disclaimers, and acknowledge and agree to our Privacy Policy.

By purchasing or accessing any Offering, you further warrant to us that you are at least 18 years old or the applicable age of majority in your jurisdiction. Purchasing or accessing our Offering if you are a minor is a violation of use, and we reserve the right to terminate your access if it is discovered you are a minor.

FEES & REFUNDS
All fees are listed on our Website in USD. We reserve the right to change our fees at any time and without notice to you.

REFUND / MONEY-BACK POLICY AND GUARANTEE
Our Offerings provide a unique opportunity to be coached and mentored by multiple Beginex industry practitioner mentors on the key aspects of UX career transition at a way more affordable price point compared to most traditional UX career transition programs and bootcamps. The program is based on real client projects, is very hands-on and quite rigorous, which helps deliver strong results and career transformations to our participants.

Because the alumni have done so well, the program is also covered by a money-back guarantee: get to 3 case studies, follow our guidelines weekly and land a UX role within 6 months of formally declaring and starting your job search or get your tuition + extra $500 back (the detailed guidelines are covered in the Career Development and Job Search Guidelines document provided to alumni and available upon request).

During the initial basics learning phase and prior to the core program commencement, a customer can receive a full refund. Our program is not for uncommitted or unmotivated individuals. It is key to protect the integrity and overall experience of the group and invite only those who are committed to fully showing up and taking action. After the core program commencement, a participant is eligible for a 75% refund of total tuition prior to credits and excluding the deposit, if a participant withdraws within the first week. An exception to that is if there are extreme circumstances (i.e. medical, etc.), in which case, Beginex reserves the right to review the situation, ask for proof if applicable, and then provide a full or partial refund, if approved. In addition to that, if approved, a participant can also receive credit toward a future program if they must pause early in the program.

After the first week, if a participant just changes their mind and chooses not to complete the program and/or stops pursuing their UX career transition goal and quits their search, then the participant will no longer be eligible for a refund and tuition will be due.

If a participant is offered the deferred until hired option, tuition will not be due until they land a UX role for up to 6 months since they formally start the job search (one will have up to 2 months after the program or partner client project to declare their job search). If the participant follows our guidelines weekly for 6 months after the program and is still not hired into a UX role (extremely unlikely), they will no longer owe any tuition. If the participant changes their mind and does not complete the program and/or stops pursuing their UX career transition goal and quits their search, tuition will be due.

BEGINEX UX CAREER ACCELERATOR PROGRAM PAYMENT DETAILS AND PAYMENT PLAN OPTION

  • Client understands the cost of the BUXCAP is payable in full, or via a payment plan option (unless agreed otherwise), which Client will select at the time of purchase and enrollment (all options are subject to approval and availability):
  • BUXCAP: A one-time payment of four thousand, nine hundred ninety five U.S. dollars ($4,995) payable up front, in full; OR
  • Pay about half of tuition ($2,495) upfront (the remainder of the tuition will be due two months after the program start date).
  • Payment plan: pick anywhere from 3 to 15 (or more if offered / agreed) installments for the remaining tuition balance (after the deposit) as well as $15 per installment fees.
  • Payment plan - shorter term options: if a client already made the deposit, the same payment method on file can be used for the payment plan (in case client prefers to use a different payment method, Beginex can send the client an invoice / payment page upon client’s request). The first payment will be due at least one week before the start date of the program client enrolled in, unless specified otherwise, and, for client’s convenience, the following installments may be charged automatically each month on the same day.
  • Client agrees to render payment via credit card on Beginex’s sales and checkout page for BUXCAP. Client understands they are responsible for the full payment and agrees to pay the sum requested electronically, via Beginex’s Website or a designated third-party payment processor of Beginex’s choosing, in full.
  • If Client elects to purchase BUXCAP via the offered payment plans, Client agrees to abide by the rules and payments as explained on Beginex’s website/sales/registration pages and in other communication or on third-party platforms of Beginex’s choice. Client understands and agrees that following the first payment, subsequent payments may be automatically deducted utilizing the same mode of payment that was used to make the initial payment and Client specifically authorizes Beginex to automatically process their credit card when payment is due.

Client’s decision to cease use of BUXCAP for any reason does not eliminate Client’s responsibility to complete the payment plan as agreed upon. Payment in full is required regardless of use, happiness with product, or immediate results.
  • Beginex reserves the right to cancel Client’s access to BUXCAP should they fail to make additional payments in accordance with the payment plan as agreed upon. Should this occur, Client understands she is not entitled to a refund of funds already issued to Beginex in exchange for work completed thus far, and it is up to the sole discretion of Beginex whether Client is to have continued access to any materials made available to Client during the program up until payments were missed. Should this occur, Client (the program participant) will be deemed ineligible to showcase any projects, case studies, the overall work experience or any skills, credentials or certificates obtained through the program and its featured organizations (due to breach of payment and general contract).
  • If Client and Beginex have not agreed upon a payment plan, Client understands one is not available, and agrees to provide payment in full, upfront, in the manner(s) designated on Beginex’s website/sales/registration pages and in other communication.
