Version 1.0 · Effective date: [to be set] · Operated by [legal entity name], Commercial Registration [number], [address], Sultanate of Oman ("Pharmino", "we", "us"). Contact: [support email], [phone].

Please read these terms carefully. By creating an account you enter a binding electronic agreement with Pharmino, valid under the Electronic Transactions Law (Royal Decree 69/2008). If you don't agree, don't create an account.

1. Who can register

1. You must be at least 18 years old and have full legal capacity to enter a contract.
2. The details you give us (name, email, date of birth, phone) must be true, complete and your own.
3. One person may hold only one account. Accounts are personal to the named student.

2. Your account

1. You are responsible for everything done through your account and for keeping your password and verification codes secret.
2. Your account may only be used by you, on your own devices. We limit how many devices and sessions can be active at once.
3. Tell us at once at [support email] if you think someone else has used your account.

3. Our content and your licence

1. All videos, PDFs, slides, notes, mock exams, questions, answers, explanations, audio, images and software on the platform ("Content") belong to Pharmino Academy or its licensors and are protected by the Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Law (Royal Decree 65/2008, as amended by Royal Decree 132/2008) and international treaties.
2. When you enrol, we give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to view the Content online, through the platform only, for your own exam preparation, for your course's access period.
3. You get no ownership of any Content. Everything not expressly allowed is forbidden. The limited free uses in Article 20 of the Copyright Law do not cover sharing, copying or posting Content online.

4. What you must not do

Without our written permission you must not, directly or through anyone else:

1. share, send, upload, post, sell, rent or otherwise distribute any Content, in whole or in part, by any means, including Telegram, WhatsApp, Google Drive, social media, email, USB drives or printed copies;
2. download or try to download Content, including with download managers, browser extensions, scripts or by extracting stream or cache files;
3. record, film or photograph Content, including screen recording and filming the screen with another device;
4. take screenshots or copies of PDF pages, slides or questions;
5. remove, hide, crop, blur or change any watermark, forensic code or ownership notice (these are rights management information under Article 40 of the Copyright Law);
6. bypass, disable or interfere with any security or technical protection measure (Article 40 of the Copyright Law), or use bots, scrapers or automated tools;
7. share your account or let anyone else use it, or use the platform on behalf of a group;
8. sell, rent or transfer your account or enrolment;
9. reproduce, translate, adapt or teach from the Content in any course, class, group or commercial activity.

5. How we detect breaches

Every video and PDF carries visible and hidden watermarks that identify the account it was shown to. We also record sign-ins, IP addresses, devices and viewing activity to protect the Content (see section 9). Leaked material can be traced to the account it came from.

6. Agreed compensation for breaches

Under Article 267 of the Civil Transactions Law (Royal Decree 29/2013), you and Pharmino agree in advance the compensation payable for the breaches below. Each amount is our genuine pre-estimate of the loss a breach causes Pharmino, mainly lost course sales and the cost of tracing and removing leaked material, which is hard to measure exactly. The amounts are set far below the up to 10,000 OMR per act of infringement that Article 43 of the Copyright Law allows a court to award. Each amount applies per breach and, where marked, per item.

1. Repeat breaches. A repeat of the same breach within 12 months is charged at double, up to 1,000 OMR per breach.
2. Notice and your reply. We will tell you the breach, show you the evidence and the amount, and give you 14 days to respond before the amount becomes payable.
3. Payment. Amounts are due within 30 days of our written notice to your registered email. Unpaid amounts may be claimed through the competent courts with legal costs.
4. Court review. We understand a court may adjust these amounts under Article 267. Agreeing them does not stop us claiming a higher amount where our proven loss is greater.

7. Conduct, and what happens to your account

The following lead to action on your account rather than compensation:

Any breach of these terms may also lead to suspension or closure of your account without refund.

8. Reporting to the authorities

Copyright infringement for financial gain and circumventing technical protection are criminal offences under Article 52 of the Copyright Law (imprisonment of 3 months to 2 years and/or a fine of 2,000 to 10,000 OMR, doubled for repeat offences), and the Public Prosecution may act without a complaint (Article 49). Unauthorised access, fraud and impersonation online are offences under the Cybercrime Law (Royal Decree 61/2026). We may report suspected offences to the competent authorities. This is separate from, and in addition to, section 6.

9. Your personal data

We process your name, email, date of birth, phone number, IP address, device information and learning activity to create and run your account, deliver courses, prevent fraud and protect our Content, in line with the Personal Data Protection Law (Royal Decree 6/2022) and its Executive Regulations (Ministerial Decision 34/2024). We ask for your consent to this separately below. We don't sell your data. You can ask to see, correct or delete your data, or withdraw consent, at [privacy email]. Full details: Privacy Policy [link].

10. Payments and refunds

1. Prices are shown in Omani rials and include any applicable tax. Payments are processed by our payment provider.
2. Refunds: [refund policy to be confirmed, for example a full refund within 7 days of purchase if you have watched less than 10% of the course]. Nothing in these terms limits your rights under the Consumer Protection Law (Royal Decree 66/2014).
3. Course access lasts for the period shown on the course page.

11. Exams and results

Pharmino is an independent training provider. We are not affiliated with OMSB, Pearson VUE or any licensing authority, and we don't guarantee that you will pass any exam.

12. Liability

To the extent the law allows, our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing limits liability that cannot be limited under Omani law.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We'll email you about important changes at least 14 days before they apply, and ask you to accept them again.

14. Law, language and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the Sultanate of Oman, and the competent courts of Muscat have jurisdiction. These terms are issued in Arabic and English; if they differ, the Arabic version prevails.
