This website is operated by an Osek Patur (sole businessperson) Artiom Svirshchik, business ID 342522612, located at Sderot HaNassi HaShishi 20, Jerusalem, Israel (hereinafter: "the Company").
Nothing in these terms shall derogate from the provisions of any law, including the Consumer Protection Law, 5741-1981 and the regulations enacted thereunder. To the extent that a conflict between these terms and the provisions of the law is discovered, the provisions of the law shall apply.
Every user of the website and/or purchaser of the course (hereinafter: "the Customer" or "the Participant") declares, by the fact of use of the website and/or by making the purchase, that he is aware of and accepts these Terms of Service, and that he and/or anyone on his behalf will have no claim and/or demand against the Company, its operators, or anyone on their behalf, except for claims relating to a breach by the Company of its obligations under these terms.
Wherever in these terms the masculine pronoun is used, it also means the feminine in the literal sense.
2. DESCRIPTION OF THE SERVICE
The Company offers a paid online educational course delivered live over the internet (hereinafter: "the Course"). The Course consists of six (6) live online sessions of approximately sixty (60) minutes each, plus one (1) bonus session held after the Knesset elections, conducted by Dmitry Dubov.

Live sessions are conducted via Google Meet. Course materials, announcements and participant communication are provided through a closed Telegram group operated by the Company.
The Course is delivered in the Russian language. The Course is an information product of a digital nature; no physical goods are sold, shipped or delivered, and accordingly no provisions relating to shipping, delivery or warranty of physical products apply.
3. EDUCATIONAL NATURE AND POLITICAL NEUTRALITY
The Course is educational and analytical in nature. The Company and the lecturer do not campaign for, endorse, or recommend any political party, candidate, bloc or list, and do not advise any Participant how to vote. The Course is not election propaganda and is not affiliated with, funded by, or conducted on behalf of any party, candidate or political body.
All opinions expressed during the Course are the personal professional analysis of the lecturer. Any voting decision is made by the Participant independently and at his sole discretion.
The content of the Course does not constitute legal, financial, or professional advice of any kind. The Company makes no representation that any forecast, scenario or analysis presented during the Course will materialise.
4. RIGHT TO PURCHASE
Any individual over 18 years of age, acting either on his own behalf or on behalf of an eligible legal entity, has the right to purchase the Course. A prerequisite for approving the purchase transaction is that the Customer is qualified to perform binding legal actions. If he is a minor (under the age of 18), or is not entitled to perform legal actions without the approval of a guardian, the purchase will not obligate the Company.
5. PLACING AN ORDER
To have an order carried out quickly and smoothly, the Customer must provide correct and complete details, in particular a valid e-mail address and telephone number, otherwise the Company cannot guarantee that access to the Course will be delivered.
At checkout, the Customer must provide credit card details or an alternative means of payment, select the number of instalments (where offered), and confirm the transaction. After the transaction is confirmed by the credit company or by the financial organisation performing the function of payment gateway, a notification of successful payment will be displayed on screen and a receipt (קבלה) will be issued.
In the event that the transaction is not approved by the financial organisation, the transaction will not be valid and the order will be void and cancelled. The order will be considered complete only upon receipt of approval from the financial organisation, and the Company is not obligated toward the Customer as long as the order has not been so approved.
Purchasing the Course constitutes inclusion in the Company's customer list, which may form part of the Company's direct mail distribution, subject to the Customer's right to unsubscribe at any time.
6. PAYMENTS AND PRICES
Payments on the website are processed by AllPay and/or another payment provider designated by the Company. Payment is subject to the approval of the financial organisation.
Where purchase in instalments is offered, the Customer will be charged by credit card (subject to the credit company's approval) by debiting his account in fixed monthly payments that already include interest, where applicable.
All prices displayed on the website are in New Israeli Shekels (NIS) and are final. The Company operates as an Osek Patur and therefore does not charge VAT on the price of the Course; a receipt (קבלה) is issued for every transaction.
The Course is offered in several tiers, which differ in the level of access provided (recordings and materials only; live attendance and the right to ask questions; or an additional individual session with the lecturer). The tiers available, their content and their prices are as displayed on the website at the time of purchase, and the price displayed at the moment of purchase is the binding price for that transaction.
In rare cases, mistakes in the information about the Course or its price may appear on the website as a result of human error or typographical error. In such cases the Customer will not be able to benefit from the error and will be asked to purchase at the correct price, or the transaction will be cancelled and any amount paid refunded in full.
7. PROMOTIONS AND LIMITED SEATS
The Company may offer the Course at special promotional prices, including limited-time pricing and closed pre-sale pricing for existing subscribers and supporters of the lecturer's channels. The Company does not guarantee that every promotion will apply to all customers, and is entitled to change or cancel any promotion at its sole discretion at any time. The price applicable at the moment of purchase is the binding price for that transaction.
Registration for the Course is open for a limited period announced by the Company, and closes prior to the commencement of the Course. Tiers that include individual sessions with the lecturer are limited in the number of seats and are allocated on a first-paid basis.
8. ACCESS, DELIVERY AND RECORDINGS
Following successful payment, the Company will send the Participant, within 48 hours, the access details for the Course, including an invitation to the closed Telegram group and the Google Meet link for the live sessions.
— Live sessions are conducted via Google Meet. The Participant is responsible for having a device, browser and internet connection capable of joining.
— Recordings of each session are made available to all tiers following the session, and remain available to the Participant for personal viewing for a period of twelve (12) months from the end of the Course.
— Written course materials (handouts, glossaries, quizzes) are provided in digital form via the closed Telegram group.
— Access is personal and non-transferable. Access credentials and links may not be shared with any third party.
Inability to attend a live session for reasons within the Participant's control does not entitle him to a refund, as the recording remains available.
9. CANCELLATION AND REFUNDS
Satisfaction guarantee. A Participant who attends or views the first session of the Course and is not satisfied may request a full refund by e-mail to infoddubov@gmail.com within 24 hours of the end of that session. The full amount paid will be refunded, without a cancellation fee and without any requirement to give a reason.
A refund request shall state the Participant's name and the details of the transaction. Refunds are made to the same means of payment used for the original transaction, within 14 days of receipt of the request.
Upon a refund being made, the Participant's access to the Course, to its recordings and materials, and to the closed Telegram group is terminated, and the licence granted in Section 10 expires.
After the expiry of the 24-hour period described above, the transaction is final and no refund will be given, including where the Participant does not attend the remaining sessions.
The Company may cancel a purchase and refund the amount paid in full where an unusual and obvious error has occurred in the description of the Course or its price, or where circumstances beyond the Company's control prevent the Course from being delivered. In such a case the Customer will not be entitled to any further compensation.
Nothing in this Section derogates from any mandatory right granted to the Customer under applicable law, including the Consumer Protection Law, 5741-1981.
10. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
All rights, including copyright, in the Course — its content, structure, recordings, presentations, handouts, glossaries, quizzes, texts, graphics and the website itself — belong exclusively to the Company and/or the lecturer, and are protected under applicable law.
Upon payment, the Participant is granted a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive and non-transferable licence to access and view the Course content for his own private, non-commercial use only.
Without the Company's prior written consent, the Participant may not:
— record, film, screen-capture or otherwise reproduce the live sessions;
— copy, distribute, publish, upload, broadcast, share or make available the recordings or materials, in whole or in part, by any means including social networks and messaging applications;
— sell, rent, sublicense or otherwise commercially exploit the Course content;
— use the Course content to create derivative works or to conduct any competing training.
Breach of this Section constitutes a material breach of these terms, and entitles the Company to terminate access immediately without refund, without derogating from any other remedy available to it under law.
11. PARTICIPANT CONDUCT
During live sessions and in the closed Telegram group, Participants shall conduct themselves respectfully. The Company may remove from a session or from the group, temporarily or permanently, any Participant who publishes offensive, unlawful, defamatory, racist or inciting content, who conducts commercial or political campaigning, who spams, or who disrupts the conduct of a session. In cases of serious or repeated breach, access may be terminated without refund.
12. RESTRICTED ACTIONS
The Company may prevent a Customer from purchasing the Course in any of the following cases:
— the Customer violated one of the provisions of these Terms of Service;
— the Customer provided the Company with incorrect details when placing an order and/or afterwards;
— the Customer has committed an act or omission that could harm the Company, its staff, its owners, the lecturer, the proper operation of its website, anyone on its behalf, or a third party.
Submitting false information about the means of payment is a criminal offence subject to prosecution.
13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
The Company is not responsible for interruptions, faults or failures of third-party platforms and services used to deliver the Course, including Google Meet, Telegram, the payment gateway and the Customer's internet service provider. In the event that a live session cannot be held or is materially disrupted for such reasons, the Company will hold a replacement session or make an equivalent recording available, and this shall constitute the Company's full liability in respect of that session.
The Company will not be responsible for a delay or failure in performance caused by force majeure or events beyond its control, including war, security events, states of emergency, lockdowns, strikes, or nationwide infrastructure failures. In such events the Company may reschedule sessions, and will announce any change in advance through the channels stated in Section 14.
The Company is not responsible for the uninterrupted operation of the website or for the absolute security of the information on it, although it will act for that purpose, and the user will have no claim arising therefrom.
14. CHANGES TO THE PROGRAMME
The Company may make reasonable changes to the order of topics, the content of individual sessions, or the date and time of a session, in particular in light of developments in the election campaign. Any change of date or time will be announced in advance via the closed Telegram group and by e-mail. The overall scope of the Course — six sessions plus a bonus session — will not be reduced.
Any notification to the Customer will be made by e-mail, SMS or the closed Telegram group in accordance with the details entered by him during the purchase process. Such notice will be considered as received by the Customer within 7 days from the date of sending.
15. PRIVACY AND DATA SECURITY
The Company makes efforts to protect the privacy of its customers. No sensitive information relating to customers' means of payment, account numbers or credit card details is stored by the Company; such details are transferred directly to the server of the financial organisation, thereby preventing access to them by any third party.
The Company undertakes to act in accordance with the provisions of the law, including the Protection of Privacy Law, 5741-1981, the Consumer Protection Law, 5741-1981, and Amendment No. 40 to the Communications Law (Bezeq and Broadcasts), 5742-1982.

The website may contain links to external websites owned and operated by third parties. Those services are not part of these terms, and the Company will not be responsible for the interaction between its users and such third parties.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Israel. The competent courts of Jerusalem shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from these terms.
In the event of any discrepancy between this English version and a translation of these terms into any other language, the English version shall prevail.
