Access to Course Content: You shall be allowed to use the Licensed Materials for the specific course(s) and matter to which you have subscribed. Each course has its own subscription fees and course duration. You are not allowed to access the content of courses that you have not subscribed to. Subscribing to one course (like QBank for MCCEE) does not mean that you will have access to all materials (like MCCQE Part 1 QBank).

Refunds: Canada QBank will refund your full subscription if a written request is made to Canada QBank within the first three (3) days of a subscription. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in the sole discretion of Canada QBank, no refunds or cancellations or changes to subscriptions will be allowed.

Offer void if you did not complete the MCCEE or MCCQE Part 1.
