Introduction
The website www.lsbcaglobe.com and
LSBCA GLOBE applications (collectively referred to as the “Platform”)
and the information, services and other materials contained therein are
provided and operated by London School of Business and Certified

designed higher education and industry-relevant global professional
qualifications (“Programs”).
Please review our Terms of Use, Privacy
Policy and other policies available on the Platform (collectively
referred to as the “Terms”) that govern the use of the Platform and
Programs. Each Program may have a separate set of terms dealing with
refunds, deferrals, payments, etc. governing such Programs, and our
corporate clients may have executed separate written agreements with us,
which, in the event of a conflict, will supersede these Terms to the
extent of the conflicting provisions.
These Terms shall apply to
LSBCA GLOBE hosted WhatsApp groups, Facebook groups, Instagram pages,
Facebook pages, email/SMS/phone communications and other
social media forums hosted by LSBCA GLOBE, as well as the
audio/video conferencing solutions used by LSBCA GLOBE which shall be
deemed to be part of the ‘Platform’ by reference. You acknowledge that
certain parts of the Platform, as mentioned above, are provided by
third-party service providers, and you agree to abide by their terms and
conditions.
LSBCA GLOBE shall not be responsible for any disruption of services caused by such third-party service providers.
Please
note that the use of the Platform and Programs constitutes an
unconditional agreement to follow and be bound by the Terms. Although
you may "bookmark" a particular portion of the Platform and thereby
bypass these Terms, your use of the Platform still binds you to these
Terms.
We may change these Terms from time to time without prior
notice. You should review this page regularly. Your continued use of the
Platform and Programs after changes have been made will be taken to
indicate that you have read and accepted those changes. You should not
use the Platform or Programs if you are not happy with any changes to
these Terms.

Thereafter, upon the payment of your program fees (full or part payment-

you by LSBCA GLOBE confirming your admission and payment. An email
confirmation for your payment will also be sent on your registered email

Owing to certain
exceptional circumstances, if LSBCA GLOBE has granted you access to a
Program pending payment, and LSBCA GLOBE does not receive payments
within the stipulated time periods, LSBCA GLOBE may, at its owns
discretion, withdraw your access to the Program without giving any prior

You agree that you will never divulge or share access to
your User Account with any third party for any reason. You also agree
