Terms & Policies
Applies to the F&B Resources service on aau.vn, operated by AAU Academy (part of PEACH Consulting). Please read before purchasing: placing an order means you agree to the terms below.
1. Terms of use
1.1. Account
- Each account is for one person and signs in with that person's email. You are responsible for keeping your sign-in email secure.
- Do not let others share your account. Accounts showing signs of sharing may be temporarily suspended.
1.2. Product
- F&B Resources are digital products (downloadable Word, Excel and PDF files) with no physical delivery.
- Content is compiled from real operations and is for reference. You adapt it to your outlet and to current legal requirements. AAU Academy is not responsible for business results from applying the resources.
- Resources labeled "Coming soon" have no file yet; launch timing may change.
1.3. Pricing and payment
- Prices are listed in Vietnamese dong and apply at the time of order.
- Payment is by bank transfer via QR code. An order is confirmed only when the full amount is received with the correct transfer content.
- Unpaid orders expire after 48 hours.
1.4. Changes
AAU Academy may update resources, prices and terms. Changes do not affect orders already paid.
2. Membership plans
- The term starts from successful payment: 30 days for the monthly plan; 365 days for the annual and chain plans. Renewing the same plan (or buying a lower plan) while your plan is still active adds the new term to the end of the current one.
- Upgrading to a higher plan (monthly → annual, annual → chain) while the old plan is active: the new plan starts immediately; unused downloads of the old plan remain usable until it expires. No conversion and no cash credit between plans. When you download, the system deducts from the plan that expires sooner first.
- Welcome gift: each new account that completes the assessment receives 3 resources chosen at random from the gift pool (one time only), owned like purchased resources. The gift is independent of membership plans and cannot be converted into cash or downloads.
- Each plan, including the chain plan, is tied to 1 account, the buyer's email. For the chain plan only: downloaded files may be used internally across all outlets of the chain under section 4.
- The does not auto-renew plan, and no automatic charges are made. When it expires, you can buy again if needed.
- Resources use downloads by tier: Basic 1, Advanced 2, System Bundle 3. Premium items are outside the plans and bought separately; annual and chain members get 30% off.
- Downloads: monthly plan 5 per month, annual plan 50, chain plan 150. While your plan is active you can buy 10 extra downloads; extra downloads expire with the current plan period.
- Monthly plan downloads do not roll over to the next month. Annual and chain plan downloads expire with the plan term.
- After a plan expires, files already downloaded remain usable under section 4; only new downloads and updates stop.
- Newly launched resources are exclusive to annual and chain members for the first 60 days.
- The annual plan launch price (for orders paid through 31 Dec 2026) is kept when renewing in later years.
3. Refund policy
Digital resources are unlocked as soon as payment is made, so there is no refund and no exchange once an order is successfully paid, even if you have not downloaded the file or used all your downloads.
