7. Your rights

If you are in the EU/EEA or UK you have the right to access, correct, or erase your personal data, to restrict or object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw any consent you have given. Contact us at support@mextexams.com for any data request.

Terms of Sale

Right of Withdrawal & Refunds

Purchases give you immediate access to digital content. At checkout, our Merchant of Record (Creem) collects your express consent to begin delivery immediately and your acknowledgement that you thereby lose the EU 14-day right of withdrawal. Accordingly, once access begins, all sales are final and non-refundable.

This change-of-mind waiver does not affect your statutory rights if the content is faulty, inaccessible, or materially not as described. In that case you remain entitled to a legal remedy — contact support@mextexams.com and we will investigate promptly. Refunds, where due, are processed by Creem as Merchant of Record.
