2. BeamGuru.com accounts are designed for a single user only. You will experience lockouts or suspensions if the account is used simultaneously in two or more locations or on more than a pre-determined number of devices or IP addresses per month. This is to protect unlawful use of BeamGuru.com products and software. If regular suspensions occur, extended lockouts and service accessibility may be suspended indefinitely or cancelled altogether.
3. All sales are final and there are no refunds unless under exceptional circumstances (e.g. you never received the account or you find a genuine fault with it). Please read the detailed features list of each product so you know exactly what you are purchasing before you agree to pay. We offer grace periods (see next point) and money back guarantees (point 7 below) on certain accounts. We do not offer refunds or trials to prevent people using the software for their benefit (possibly to complete assignments and homework) and then asking for a refund once they have no use for it anymore.
4. BeamGuru.com offers a 30-day grace period for refunds of annual recurring payments. Likewise a 4-day grace period is available for refunds of monthly recurring payments. The grace period begins at the time of the recurring charge. This is to protect users who have forgotten about their subscription and are charged the subscription fee when they no longer use the service. For this refund to be granted, the user must not have used the product during the grace period and must contact BeamGuru.com Support before the grace period ends.
5. BeamGuru.com has the right to make any changes to the accessibility limits on Free Accounts and free software at any time, without notice.

5. There are literally millions of possible combinations of supports, fixities, loads, members, materials and sections. This makes it impossible to test and ensure accuracy in every single possible scenario. As with any software there may be bugs or errors that cause it to function incorrectly.
