3. Contract Formation
(1) The user must register and purchase a paid membership to use the services.
(2) The contract is concluded when the user clicks the “Place binding order” button during the checkout process.
(3) A free trial period of up to 3 days may be granted before the start of the paid subscription. During the trial period, no charges apply unless the user actively chooses to upgrade to the paid plan. The transition to the paid plan is not automatic. After the trial period, the user will be informed and can decide whether to switch to the paid plan.
4. Prices and Payment
(1) The applicable prices are those displayed at the time of the order (including VAT).
(2) Payments are processed through the external provider Stripe. The terms and conditions of Stripe also apply. The user agrees to the Stripe TOS when completing the payment.
(3) The subscription renews automatically unless canceled before the next billing period.
5. Duration and Termination
(1) The membership is for an indefinite period and automatically renews monthly.
(2) The user may cancel at any time via their account or by email. The cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
(3) No partial refunds will be issued for unused time unless a technical issue prevents access to the services. In such cases, the user must notify the provider within 7 days of the issue to request a refund.
6. Right of Withdrawal and Its Expiry
6. Right of Withdrawal and Its Expiry
(1) Consumers have a statutory right of withdrawal of 14 days.
(2) This right expires prematurely if the user:
Explicitly agrees that Helios Careers begins providing services before the withdrawal period ends, and
Acknowledges that the right of withdrawal is lost once the contract is fully performed.
(3) This information is clearly provided during the checkout process.
(4) The withdrawal right applies when the user transitions to the paid plan after the trial period. If the user withdraws within 14 days, this withdrawal is only valid if the service has not been fully rendered. If the user agrees to the service starting before the end of the withdrawal period, the right of withdrawal is lost once the service is fully provided.
(5) For clarity, accessing core features, such as digital course modules, attending a live webinar, downloading exclusive content (e.g., templates or guides), or receiving a personalized service (e.g., resume review), will be considered full or partial use of the service. Once any of these services are accessed, the right of withdrawal will be forfeited.
7. Usage and Community Conduct

(2) The community is intended for respectful and constructive exchange. Offensive, discriminatory, or promotional posts are not allowed.
