2.4 You can get free access to any of our free Online Courses and associated course materials by signing up for any such course on this Website subject to these Terms and Conditions.
2.5 Subject to clause 2.6, if we grant you access to any of our fee-based Online Courses which require you to pay a one-time fee (i.e. no recurring fees) and which you have purchased access to (subject to clause 3 of these Terms and Conditions), that access is granted for a duration of 36 months (subject to clause 11 of these Terms and Conditions and subject to our Website Terms of Use), starting on the date on which we have granted you access to that course, notwithstanding of the fact if you access the course on that date or not. Our agreement ends after 36 months and we will cease to provide you with access to said online course after 36 months.
An example shall clarify what this means: if we grant you access to an Online Course on January 1st 2020 at 3pm, then we will cease to provide you with access to that course on January 1st 2023 at 3pm.
2.6 Subject to clause 2.5 and 2.7, if we grant you access to any of our fee-based Online Courses which require you to pay a recurring fee (i.e. no one-time fees) and which you have purchased access to (subject to clause 3 of these Terms and Conditions), that access is granted for at the purchased duration as stated on this Website (subject to clause 11 of these Terms and Conditions and subject to our Website Terms of Use), starting on the date on which we have granted you access to that Online Course, notwithstanding of the fact if you access the Online Course on that date or not. When that period ends, you will automatically be charged another periodic Fee (as stated on the website) to maintain your membership with us, unless you cancel your membership at least 14 days before the renewal. Our agreement ends at the end of the period if you cancel the membership and we will cease to provide you with access to the Online Couses, which you have purchased access to, when the period ends.
An example shall clarify what this means: if you subscribe to our Healthy Lions Club on January 1st 2020 at 3pm for the period of one year, we grant you access to all materials and Online Courses included in the Healthy Lions Club for the period of one year.
The yearly subscription then automatically renews on January 1st 2021 at 3pm for the period of another year and we will continue to grant you access to all materials and Online Courses included in the Healthy Lions Club for the period of one year given that you have paid for it.
However, if you cancel your membership at least 14 days before its renewal (in our example: 14 days prior to January 1st 2021 at 3pm), we will cease to provide you with access to the materials and courses included in the Healthy Lions Club on January 1st 2021.

Whenever you pay a recurring fee for a pre-defined duration, you cannot cancel your subscription until all recurring fees have been paid.
An example shall clarify what this means: if you enroll in our Birth Preparation Bootcamp, you can either pay a one-time fee or a recurring fee over a period of 6 months. If you choose to pay a recurring fee, you are obligated to pay the recurring fee until the end of the pre-defined period (in this case: 6 months) has been reached.

2.8 If we grant you access to any of our free courses which you have requested access to (subject to clause 3 of these Terms and Conditions) that access is granted until we revoke it in our own discretion with or without explanation. We owe you no obligation whatsoever and granting you access to any of our free Online Courses does not mean that we impose any obligation on us with respect to anything related to granting you that access.
