None of the Submissions shall be subject to any obligation of confidence on the part of AARSH, and AARSH shall not be liable for any use or disclosure of any Submissions.

Unless AARSH indicates otherwise, you grant to AARSH a perpetual, non-exclusive, irrevocable, fully paid, royalty-free, sublicensable and transferable (in whole or in part) worldwide right and license in any and all media, now known or later developed, to use, publish, reproduce, display, modify, transmit digitally, create derivative works based upon, distribute, copy, remove and otherwise exploit Submissions for any purpose whatsoever (including, without limitation, advertising, commercial, promotional and publicity purposes) in AARSH’s discretion without additional notice, attribution or consideration to you or to any other person or entity.

You hereby acknowledge and agree that your relationship with AARSH is not a confidential, fiduciary, or other special relationship, and that your decision to submit any material to AARSH does not place AARSH in a position that is any different from the position held by members of the general public with regard to your Submission.

If at any time AARSH requires a fee for access to portions of the Website or the Website as a whole, AARSH will require you to register and create an account. The decision to provide the information required to create an account is purely voluntary and optional; however, if you elect not to provide such information, you will not be able to access certain content or participate in certain parts or features of this Website. You shall pay all fees and charges incurred through your account at the rates in effect for the billing period in which such fees and charges are incurred, including but not limited to charges for any products or services offered for sale through the Website by AARSH or by any other vendor or service provider. All fees and charges shall be billed to you, and you shall be solely responsible for their payment. You shall pay all applicable taxes relating to the use of the Website through your account, and the purchase of any other products or services. If your payment method fails or your account is past due, we may collect fees using other collection mechanisms. Fees may vary based on your location and other factors, and AARSH reserves the right to change any fees at any time at its sole discretion. Any change, update, or modification will be effective immediately upon posting through the Website.

Certain portions of the Website or the Website as a whole may require a prepaid fee (“Prepaid Fee”), which may be modified from time to time at AARSH’s sole discretion. The Prepaid Fee, and all taxes and other fees related thereto will be paid by you in advance. In no event will you receive any portions of the Website or the Website as a whole if a Prepaid Fee is required unless AARSH receives all fees and charges payable by you, including the Prepaid Fee.

If you cancel your paid service, including but not limited to AARSH’s courses, degree certificate programs, subscription service, audio streaming/downloads, and/or video viewing/downloads, AARSH does not offer any type of refunds.
