Terms of educational use, updated November 5, 2026
Use Arcade Academy as a study tool, not as clinical guidance.
These terms describe how Arcade Academy may be used, what an exam unlock includes, how refunds work, and how to reach support.
Core responsibilities
Keep the workspace personal, educational, and secure.
Creating or using an account means following these product boundaries.
- Use Arcade Academy for education
- Arcade Academy is a study workspace for personal educational use. It is not medical advice, a diagnostic system, emergency guidance, or a substitute for accredited education, supervision, or clinical judgment.
- Protect your account
- Provide accurate account information, keep access credentials private, use a strong unique password, and follow secure verification and recovery flows.
- Do not upload patient information
- Do not enter protected health information, identifiable case details, another person's private information, or files you are not authorized to store.
- Respect content boundaries
- Use platform content and personal study tools lawfully. Do not try to bypass access controls, interfere with the service, or access another student's private workspace.
Educational content has limits.
Arcade Academy does not promise that using the service will produce a particular examination result. Study metrics, streaks, achievements, accuracy, and topic patterns are practice feedback only. They are not a measure of readiness for clinical practice.
Educational material can become incomplete or outdated. Check source and review information, report concerns, and rely on your program faculty and current authoritative guidance for clinical learning and patient care.
Arcade Academy is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the NCCPA. References to the PANCE describe the intended study context and do not imply sponsorship or approval.
Payments and refund policy
Unlocking an exam is a one-time payment.
Some exams offer a free set of sample questions and can be unlocked for a one-time payment of $19.95 (USD) per exam. The price is shown on the unlock button before you pay.
- Unlocking an exam opens its full question bank in every game, its flashcard decks, and its study resources on the account you were signed in to when you paid. It is not a subscription: you are charged once, nothing renews, and the unlock does not expire while the exam is offered and your account exists.
- The exam guides, the sample questions, and the daily game stay free. Unlocking one exam does not unlock any other exam.
- Payments are processed by Stripe. Arcade Academy never sees or stores your card details; Stripe sends your receipt to the email you enter at checkout.
- To ask for a refund, email our support team (a contact address is coming soon) from, or quoting, the email address on your Stripe receipt, and say which exam it was for. A refunded payment returns to the original payment method, and the exam locks again on your account when the refund is issued. A payment reversed through a chargeback also locks the exam.
- Deleting your account ends its unlocks. Unlocks cannot be moved to another account.
Service operation
Access and features may change as the workspace develops.
The application may add, revise, pause, or remove features and content to improve safety, reliability, or the study experience. Access may be limited when needed to protect users, data, or the service from misuse.
Contact support
For questions about these terms, a payment or refund, or your account, email our support team (a contact address is coming soon). Write from the email address on your account so we can find it.
