1Who this policy covers

This policy applies to individual subscriptions purchased directly on makeened.io by a person paying with their own payment method.

Institutional licences are not covered by this policy.

Where a school, school group, ministry, education authority, or other organisation licenses Makeen.ed under a signed agreement, the commercial terms of that agreement — including payment schedule, term, renewal, and any refund or termination provisions — govern exclusively. Nothing in this policy varies, overrides, or adds to an executed institutional agreement.

Makeen.ed is operated by SLA Technologies, trading as Smart Learning Arabia, a company licensed in Dubai, United Arab Emirates under commercial licence number 805385, with its registered address at 401 Zarouni Business Center, Barsha, Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. In this policy, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to that company.

2The free tier

Every Makeen.ed account includes a permanent free tier: 3 teaching tasks per month, at no cost. No card details are required to create an account or to use the free tier.

The free tier has no time limit and no end date. Your 3 tasks reset at the start of each calendar month for as long as you have an account, whether or not you ever upgrade.

3Upgrading to a paid subscription

You choose when to upgrade. Nothing is charged automatically.

When you want full access to the task library, you can upgrade at any time from your account. Card details are entered at the point of upgrade, and you are charged immediately for the plan you select — USD 18 for the monthly plan, or USD 180 for the annual plan. There is no trial period on the paid plan and no automatic conversion: we only charge you once you actively choose to upgrade and confirm payment.

  • If you decide not to upgrade, your free tier of 3 tasks per month remains available with no time limit.
  • You can upgrade, cancel, and use the free tier again as many times as you like.

4Subscription and billing

  • Once you upgrade, access to the full task library is charged on the plan you selected: USD 18 per month on the monthly plan, or USD 180 per year on the annual plan (equivalent to USD 15 per month).
  • Your subscription renews automatically on the anniversary of your first charge — monthly on the monthly plan, annually on the annual plan — and continues until you cancel.
  • Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store your full card details.
  • Prices are stated in US dollars and are exclusive of tax. Where VAT applies to your subscription, it is added at checkout and shown before you confirm payment.
  • If a payment fails, we may retry it. If it continues to fail, paid access ends and your account returns to the free tier until payment succeeds. Your account and saved work are not deleted when this happens.

5Cancelling your subscription

You can cancel at any time, and cancelling is straightforward:

  • Cancel from your account settings or email us at info@smartlearningarabia.com.
  • Cancellation takes effect at the end of the billing period you have already paid for. You keep full access until that date, and you will not be charged again — the subscription simply does not renew.
  • When your paid period ends, your account does not close. It returns to the free tier — 3 tasks per month, no card required — and you keep your saved content and history.
  • You can upgrade again whenever you like.

6Refunds

Subscription payments are final. Once a billing period has begun, we do not refund it — in full or pro-rata — whether you cancel partway through, do not use the service, or simply change your mind.

You can cancel at any time to stop future charges (see section 5 above), and you keep access to what you have already paid for until the end of that period. On the annual plan this means the full twelve months: cancelling part-way through a paid year stops the next renewal and leaves your access running to the end of that year, but the remaining months are not refunded.

7When we will always issue a refund

Section 6 states our general position: subscription payments are final. There are a small number of situations where we will still refund you, regardless:

  • Duplicate charges — you were billed more than once for the same period.
  • Charges after cancellation — you were billed after cancelling correctly.
  • Unauthorised transactions — a payment was made without the account holder's authorisation, subject to verification.
  • Sustained technical failure — a fault on our side prevented you from using the paid service for a material part of the billing period, and we were unable to resolve it after you reported it.

These are handled as a matter of course, not as an exception you have to argue for.

8How to raise a billing issue

  • Email info@smartlearningarabia.com from the address on your account, with the date and amount of the charge and a brief description of the issue.
  • We will acknowledge your message within 2 business days and tell you our decision within 5 business days.
  • Where one of the cases in section 7 applies, approved refunds are returned to the original payment method. Your bank or card issuer typically takes a further 5–10 business days to post the funds.
  • We cannot refund to a different card, account, or person.

Before you raise a chargeback, please contact us.

Almost every billing problem is faster to fix directly, and a chargeback can suspend your account while the card issuer investigates.

9Price changes

We may change the subscription price. If we do, we will give you at least 30 days' notice by email before the new price applies to your subscription, and the change will only take effect from your next billing date. If you do not want to continue at the new price, you can cancel before that date at no cost.

10Suspension or termination by us

If we suspend or terminate a paid account for breach of our Terms of Service, we are not obliged to refund the current billing period. If we discontinue Makeen.ed entirely, we will refund the unused portion of any period you have already paid for.

11Your statutory rights

Nothing in this policy limits any right you have under applicable consumer protection law that cannot be excluded by agreement.

12Governing law

This policy is governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates, as applied in the Emirate of Dubai, and the courts of Dubai have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from it.
