Terms of Service · Pinoy Reviewer Hub

1. Agreement to terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“User,” “you,” or “your”) and Bacolod Information Technology Solutions (a sole proprietorship registered with the Department of Trade and Industry of the Philippines), operating the product “Pinoy Reviewer Hub” (the “Service”).

By accessing, registering for, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.

2. About the service

Pinoy Reviewer Hub is an independent educational review platform for Philippine examinations, starting with the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET). It offers practice questions written by our team and aligned to the published Table of Specifications, question packs, timed mock examinations (the Huling Subok pre-board), explanations, flashcards, leaderboards and performance analytics, plus optional AI features such as AI question generation and AI explanations. Other examinations may be offered in the mobile app as their question banks are completed.

The Service is accessible via pinoyreviewerhub.com and our official mobile applications on Google Play Store (Android) and the Apple App Store (iOS). One account works on all of them, and your progress, history and saved questions stay in sync. The Service is operated by Joselito Bacolod, proprietor of Bacolod Information Technology Solutions, based in Metro Manila, Philippines.

3. Eligibility and age requirements

3.1 Minimum age. The Service is intended for users aged 13 years and older. By creating an account or using the Service, you represent that you are at least 13 years old.

3.2 Users under 18 (Minors). If you are between 13 and 17 years old, you may use the Service only with verifiable consent and supervision of your parent or legal guardian, who has:

Read and accepted these Terms on your behalf;
Consented to the processing of personal information described in our Privacy Policy;
Agreed to supervise your use of the Service, including any subscription purchases;
Assumed full responsibility for activity on your account.

We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. Parents or guardians who believe a child under 13 has provided personal information should contact us immediately at pinoyreviewerhub@gmail.com for prompt deletion.

3.3 Subscriptions and minors. Minors may not purchase subscriptions without parental authorization. If a minor purchases a subscription without parental consent, the parent or guardian may request a refund through the platform where the subscription was purchased (Google Play or the App Store).

3.4 Geographic scope. The Service is primarily intended for users in the Republic of the Philippines. If you access from outside the Philippines, you do so at your own risk and remain responsible for compliance with local laws.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts found to violate these eligibility requirements.

4. Independence and disclaimer of affiliation

Pinoy Reviewer Hub is an independent educational platform. It is NOT affiliated with, endorsed, sponsored, or approved by:

Professional Regulation Commission (PRC)
Board for Professional Teachers
Department of Education (DepEd)
Any university, college, or other educational institution
Any other government agency or licensing body

All practice questions and mock examinations are created independently and intended for review and preparatory purposes only. The Service does not guarantee passing or any specific outcome on official examinations.

5. User accounts

5.1 Registration. To access most features, you must create an account by providing accurate, current, and complete information.

5.2 Account security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access at pinoyreviewerhub@gmail.com.

5.3 One account per person. Each user may maintain only one account. Account sharing, account selling, or creating multiple accounts to circumvent service limitations is strictly prohibited and may result in suspension or termination without refund.

5.4 Account termination by user. You may close your account at any time through your account settings or by emailing us. Closure does not entitle you to a refund of any prepaid subscription fees except as provided in our Refund Policy.

5.5 Account termination by us. We may suspend or terminate your account, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent behavior, abuse the refund policy, or pose a security risk. Where reasonably possible, we will provide notice and an opportunity to cure.

6. Subscriptions, billing, and auto-renewal

6.1 Subscription tiers. The Service offers monthly, quarterly, and yearly subscription plans at the prices displayed on our Pricing page. Prices are inclusive of applicable taxes unless stated otherwise.

6.2 AUTOMATIC RENEWAL NOTICE — PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.

All subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled before the renewal date.
Renewal charges will be made using the payment method on file at the then-current published price for your subscription tier.
By subscribing, you expressly authorize Google Play or Apple, as applicable, to charge your payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel.
Google Play and Apple automatically send a renewal notification approximately 24 hours before the renewal charge, as part of their platform policies. We recommend reviewing your subscription regularly through your store account to manage your renewals.

6.3 How to cancel. You may cancel your subscription at any time:

Web: Subscriptions are not yet sold on the web. Manage yours through the store where you bought it.
Android (Google Play):Google Play app → Subscriptions → Pinoy Reviewer Hub → Cancel.
iOS (App Store):Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions → Pinoy Reviewer Hub → Cancel.

Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You retain access to paid features until that date.

IMPORTANT: Deleting your account does NOT automatically cancel your subscription. Subscriptions are managed by the platform where you purchased them (Google Play or the Apple App Store), not by your Pinoy Reviewer Hub account. To stop future charges, you must cancel the subscription through the appropriate platform separately from any account deletion.

6.4 Payment processing. Payments are processed by Google Play Billing (Android) or the Apple App Store (iOS). The web does not currently sell subscriptions; a subscription bought in the app unlocks the same features on the web. By subscribing, you also agree to the terms of the relevant payment processor.

6.5 Failed payments. If a renewal payment fails, Google Play or Apple may retry the charge and may give you a grace period, under their own policies. If the payment still cannot be completed, your subscription ends and access to paid features ends with it.

6.6 Refunds. Our refund policy is described in our Refund Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

6.7 Pricing changes. We may change subscription prices from time to time. Any price increase will take effect at the next renewal after we provide you with at least 30 days’ advance notice through reasonable means (which may include email, in-app notification, our website, or our official community channels). You may cancel before the new price takes effect to avoid the new pricing.

7. Acceptable use

You agree NOT to:

Scrape, copy, reproduce, or redistribute questions, content, or any portion of the Service without our prior written permission.
Use the Service to cheat on, gain unfair advantage during, or otherwise interfere with the integrity of any official examination.
