In certain situations your Login Information may be created for you by your school or district. In that case a so called "Managed Account" is created. A Managed Account can only be created by a User with a valid Account and a valid Voucher.
All responsibilities for the Managed Account are with the creator of such an Account. The manager of a Managed Account is responsible for distributing the Managed Account Login Information to the intended User. A Managed Account does not have a valid email address and all communication with the User of such an Account will go through the manager of the account.

A valid Voucher can be obtained in two ways: either by obtaining a Voucher from the Company (usually purchased through RoboMindAcademy.com), or by being distributed access rights by another User with an Account who has a valid Voucher with one or more valid and previously unused and undistributed access rights.
A Voucher can be obtained through RoboMindAcademy.com. If you do so, a Voucher code which grants access to certain Educational Materials, order summary and order invoice will automatically be send to the email address provided by you once payment of your order is confirmed. If applicable, links to possible downloadable materials like educational packages and the Desktop Client will also be sent by email to the email address provided by you.
When a Voucher or other materials are ordered through RoboMindAcademy.com, your name, address, email address and, in some cases, company VAT information will be required. You agree that you will supply accurate and complete information to in such case. You agree to pay all applicable taxes incurred by you and that you shall be responsible for all taxes associated with your use of the Service, including, without limitation any federal, state, local or foreign taxes or any sales or use taxes.
