Akawntant is a review and preparation tool only. We make no promises, representations, or guarantees regarding exam results, regardless of how much you use our platform.

No content on our platform, including marketing materials, should be construed as a guarantee of passing the CPALE or any other examination.

We will make reasonable efforts to notify you before or at the time of termination, except where immediate action is necessary for safety or legal reasons.
15.Changes to Terms
We may modify these terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by posting a notice on our website or sending you an email at least 15 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of our services after such changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
