2. The Relationship Between ST
Hub, Instructors and Students

courses and the students or users consent to our providing the instructors with such additional
information. ST Hub does not disclose any other information about students or users to instructors, and

disability, or death. You assume full responsibility for the choices you make before, during and after
your enrollment in a course.

are we responsible or liable for any interactions involved between instructors and students or other
users of the Platform. We are not liable for disputes, claims, losses, injuries, or damage of any kind
that might arise out of or relate to the conduct of instructors or students/users.

policies.

payment as ST Hub will not be involved in the payment or refund process between instructors and students
or users.

and it relates to us not having met our obligations under the applicable law to protect your information

9. Termination, Suspending and Stopping Your Use of The
Platform
9.1 By Us
We may suspend or end your use of

a) if you breach the Terms of Use;
b) if you fail to pay your monthly or annual subscription fees as an
instructor;
c) in the event we are unable to identify you or authenticate your identity;
or
d) in other circumstances where we believe that there is a valid reason (such as for
risk or fraud management, or at your request if you suspect fraud or unauthorised access of your
account).
We have no obligation to resume, or to re-activate your access to the Platform,
if suspended. If we permanently end your use of the Platform: (a) the rights granted to you in these
Terms of Use ends, and (b) you must stop use of the Platform and destroy every content downloaded from

email) to let you know.
We may also need to limit, block or stop your usage of the Platform if
we are required to do so by law. You agree to provide us with information that we may request in
order for us to carry out necessary checks.
9.2 By
You
You may stop your use of the Platform at any time. Doing so
will not automatically delete your information that we hold. However, please note that we will
hold your information for a maximum period of 30 days from the date you stop using the Platform. During
the 30 days period, you can access your account to download and save all your information including but
not limited to documents or course materials. Upon expiration of the 30 days, we will delete all your
information and we shall not be liable to you for any loss you may suffer. If you wish to delete all
your information immediately you stop using the Platform, you can contact us at [email protected] and
we can delete it for you. When your user information is deleted, we will continue to hold certain
information about you and your use for as long as it is required to enable us to comply with legal
requirements, and for operational reasons such as issue resolution, complaint handling and “Know Your
Customer†regulation.
10. Changes to these Terms of Use
We may change these Terms of Use at any time and will inform you of a change

We will normally contact you using the email address which you used when
creating your account. We will do this to keep you informed of matters relevant to the Platform, where
we need to in order to comply with our legal obligations - further details are shown in our Privacy
Policy.
Please remember to tell us if your details change. If we discover or suspect fraud
or a security threat, we will need to contact you. Equally, for security reasons, we may block your use

We will contact you in English language and via the Platform, or through your email,

12. Other Important Terms
We may transfer
our rights and obligations under these Terms of Use to another organisation, but this will not reduce
your rights. You shall not transfer your rights or obligations to another person.
If we
fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations, or if we do not enforce our rights against you,
or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not
mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. Any waiver would need to be given by us in
writing.
Each of the conditions of these Terms of Use operates separately. If any court or
competent authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining conditions
will remain in full force and effect.
Please note that these Terms of Use, their subject
matter and formation, are governed by the Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. You and ST Hub both
agree that the High Court of Lagos State will have exclusive jurisdiction over any matter arising from
or connected to the Platform and these Terms.
These Terms of Use, Instructor Policy and our
Privacy Policy are drawn up in the English language. All written communications between you and us
relating to these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy are to be in English.
