3.3 Third-Party Content and Flow-Down Terms
Certain Content made available through the Services is licensed to the Company by third-party providers. Your use of such third-party Content is subject to additional restrictions imposed by those licensors, which are incorporated into this Agreement and which you agree to observe. In particular:

- you must not resell, redistribute, or grant access to third-party Content to any party who is not a bona fide End User under your Account;
- you must comply with United States export control laws, including screening against restricted party lists;

3.4 Changes to Services and Content
We may add, modify, replace, suspend, or discontinue any portion of the Services or Content at any time, with or without notice. Content is updated periodically to reflect changes in industry standards, regulations, or best practices, and prior versions may be withdrawn without notice.
04Orders, Pricing, and Payment
4.1 Pricing
Prices for courses, bundles, and related products are displayed on the Services in United States dollars and are exclusive of applicable taxes, duties, and shipping charges unless otherwise stated. We reserve the right to change prices at any time; however, changes will not affect Orders already confirmed.
4.2 Payment
Payment is processed through our third-party payment processor. By submitting payment information, you represent that you are authorized to use the payment method; authorize the Company to charge the full amount of the Order, including applicable taxes and fees; and agree to keep payment information accurate and current.
4.3 Taxes
You are responsible for all sales, use, excise, value-added, and similar taxes arising from or in connection with your purchase, excluding taxes based on the Company's net income. Where we are required to collect such taxes, they will be added to your Order at checkout.
4.4 Order Acceptance and Errors
Your submission of an Order constitutes an offer to purchase, which we may accept or decline at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to correct pricing errors, typographical errors, and inventory errors, and to limit the quantity of any product or service available to any User. In the event of a material error, we may cancel the affected Order and refund any amount charged.
4.5 Chargebacks
If you initiate a chargeback or payment dispute, we reserve the right to suspend your Account and revoke access to all Content and Certificates pending resolution; void any Certificates issued in connection with the disputed Order; recover reasonable costs of responding to the chargeback, including processor fees; and pursue collection of any amounts determined to be owed. Chargebacks without prior good-faith effort to resolve the dispute directly with us constitute a material breach of this Agreement.
05Refund Policy
5.1 Conditions for Refund
Because Content is delivered digitally and is immediately consumable, all sales are final except as expressly provided in this Section 5 or as required by applicable law. A refund request may be considered if all of the following conditions are met:
- the request is submitted in writing to our support email within fourteen (14) days of the purchase date;
- no Learner on the Order has begun, attempted, or completed the course (a course is considered "begun" upon the first SCORM launch, exam attempt, or Certificate issuance, whichever is earliest);
- no Certificate has been downloaded, issued, printed, or shipped;
- the request identifies a documented technical defect, a duplicate charge, or another good-faith basis for refund.
5.2 Non-Refundable Items
The following are non-refundable under all circumstances:
- any course, Seat, or Certificate for which access has been granted and any SCORM session has been launched;
- any course, Seat, or Certificate issued more than fourteen (14) days prior to the request;
- custom-priced or negotiated enterprise Orders, unless otherwise stated in a written agreement;
- processing, administrative, transaction, or shipping fees;
- physical wallet cards or printed certificates that have been produced or shipped;
- state-specific compliance courses once access has been granted;
- Orders cancelled due to your violation of this Agreement.
5.3 Employer Orders
For Employer Orders, refund eligibility is evaluated on a per-Seat basis. Unstarted Seats may be eligible for refund or credit within the 14-day window; started Seats are not. Bundled discounts may be recalculated if partial refunds bring the Order below the bundle threshold.
5.4 Form of Refund
Approved refunds will be processed to the original payment method within a commercially reasonable time. We may, at our discretion, offer account credit in lieu of a cash refund. Refunds do not include any processor fees, chargeback fees, or taxes that are non-recoverable.
5.5 Sole Remedy
The refund rights set forth in this Section 5 are your sole and exclusive remedy for dissatisfaction with the Services or Content, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
06Course Access, Completion, and Certificates
6.1 Access Period
Each course enrollment includes an access period that begins at purchase and ends on the earlier of Certificate issuance, the expiration date stated at the time of purchase, or the date this Agreement or your Account is terminated. After expiration, Content will no longer be accessible. Employers are responsible for ensuring that Learners complete courses within the applicable access period.
6.2 Technical Requirements
You are responsible for providing and maintaining the hardware, software, internet connectivity, and bandwidth required to access the Services, including a SCORM-compatible browser environment. We are not responsible for interruptions, degraded performance, or failed completions caused by inadequate connectivity, incompatible devices, browser extensions, corporate firewalls, content filters, or third-party outages.
6.3 Examinations and Academic Integrity
Certain courses require passage of a written examination. By attempting an examination, you certify that you are the individual identified on the Account; you are taking the examination yourself without substitution, assistance, or collaboration; you are not using unauthorized materials, tools, or artificial intelligence systems to generate or retrieve answers; and you will not share, post, reproduce, or disclose examination questions, answers, or test banks to any third party. Violation voids the examination, voids any resulting Certificate, and may result in Account termination and legal remedies.
6.4 Certificate Issuance
Upon successful completion of a course and, where applicable, passage of the required examination, a Certificate will be made available for download through your Account. Certificates are issued in the name provided on the Account at the time of completion; you are solely responsible for ensuring that name is correct and matches the legal name of the Learner. Replacement Certificates issued due to name errors caused by User input may be subject to an administrative fee.
6.5 No Guarantee of Regulatory Sufficiency or Third-Party Acceptance
You acknowledge that the Company makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee that any course or Certificate (a) satisfies the training requirements of any specific federal, state, local, provincial, or international regulation as applied to your specific workplace, role, or industry; (b) will be accepted by any employer, general contractor, client, insurer, government agency, regulatory authority, or third-party compliance verifier; (c) will result in any specific business outcome, including prequalification, contract award, audit clearance, Experience Modification Rate (EMR) reduction, insurance premium reduction, incident prevention, or legal defense; or (d) is a substitute for hands-on, site-specific, task-specific, or equipment-specific training required by law or industry standard.
Employers and Learners are solely responsible for determining what training is required for their workplace, verifying that the courses they purchase satisfy those requirements, supplementing online training with any required site-specific or hands-on training, and maintaining the records necessary to demonstrate compliance.
6.6 Validity Periods and Recertification
Certificates carry validity periods set by the underlying course, regulation, or industry standard, and typically require periodic recertification. It is the Learner's and Employer's responsibility to track validity periods and obtain recertification before expiration. The Company may provide expiration reminders as a courtesy; however, reliance on such reminders is not a substitute for your own recordkeeping.
07Employer Accounts, Learners, and Data
7.1 Employer Responsibility
Employers that purchase Seats, invite Learners, assign courses, or otherwise administer training through the Services are responsible for providing accurate Learner contact information; obtaining all necessary consents, notices, authorizations, and disclosures required under applicable laws (including employment, privacy, and data protection laws) before transmitting Learner information to the Company; the lawful assignment of courses appropriate to each Learner's role; enforcing their own acceptable-use, integrity, and confidentiality policies with respect to Learners; and paying all fees incurred by their Learners.
7.2 Employer Representations and Warranties
Each Employer represents and warrants that it has the legal right to transmit Learner information to the Company for the purposes contemplated in this Agreement; it has provided any notices and obtained any consents required under applicable law; its Learners are bona fide employees, contractors, or individuals with a legitimate business relationship with the Employer; and it will not use the Services as a reseller, aggregator, or broker of training to unrelated third parties.
7.3 Learner Data
Learner personal information submitted by or on behalf of an Employer will be processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy and this Agreement. Progress, completion, and Certificate data generated within an Employer Account is visible to the Employer's designated Admins. Learners who are invited by an Employer acknowledge that the Employer may view their progress, scores, completion dates, and Certificate status, and that this Agreement applies to them. Employers are the controllers of their Learner data for purposes of applicable privacy laws; the Company acts as a processor or service provider with respect to that data.
7.4 Employer Indemnification Regarding Learners
Employer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company from any claims brought by Learners, former Learners, or third parties arising out of the Employer's use of the Services, the Employer's internal policies, the Employer's communications with Learners, or the Employer's assignment, administration, or enforcement of training.
7.5 Account Admin Changes
Where an Employer Admin leaves the Organization, becomes unavailable, or loses authority, the Employer is responsible for promptly notifying the Company, removing the individual from the Account, and designating a replacement. The Company may rely in good faith on instructions from any individual authenticated to an Employer Admin Account and shall have no liability for acting on such instructions.
08Physical Products and Fulfillment
8.1 Wallet Cards and Printed Certificates
Certain courses include a physical wallet card or printed Certificate. Physical fulfillment is performed after successful completion and, where applicable, successful examination. Shipping times are estimates and are not guaranteed. The Company is not responsible for delays caused by carriers, customs, addressing errors submitted by the User, or force majeure events. Risk of loss passes to you upon delivery to the carrier.
8.2 Shipping Addresses
You are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address. Reshipment due to address errors is at your expense.
8.3 Damaged or Lost Shipments
Claims of damaged or lost shipments must be submitted in writing within thirty (30) days of the estimated delivery date. Replacement is the Company's sole obligation and your sole remedy.
09Intellectual Property
9.1 Ownership
The Services, all Content, and all associated intellectual property rights are and shall remain the exclusive property of the Company and its licensors. All rights not expressly granted to you in this Agreement are reserved. No title or ownership is transferred to you by virtue of your use of the Services or payment of any fees.
9.2 Trademarks

The Company complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If you believe that Content on the Services infringes your copyright, please submit a notice to our designated agent at the contact information set forth in Section 23.

You grant the Company a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, transferable, sublicensable license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, display, and distribute your User Content solely for the purpose of operating, providing, improving, and promoting the Services.
10.2 Prohibited Conduct
In addition to the restrictions in Section 3.2, you shall not impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation; harass, abuse, or threaten others; post or transmit unlawful, obscene, discriminatory, or harmful content; collect or harvest information about other Users; use the Services to send unsolicited commercial communications; interfere with the security or integrity of the Services; or engage in any activity that, in the Company's judgment, may harm the Services, the Company, or other Users.
11Privacy
Our collection, use, and disclosure of personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference. By using the Services, you consent to the processing described in the Privacy Policy. Where Employers submit Learner information, Section 7 applies in addition to the Privacy Policy.
12Third-Party Services and Links
The Services may contain links to, or rely on, third-party websites, services, or content, including payment processors, SCORM delivery platforms, email providers, and analytics providers. The Company does not control and is not responsible for the availability, content, privacy practices, or terms of any third-party service. Your use of any third-party service is at your own risk and subject to the third party's terms.
13Disclaimers
13.1 "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." The Services and all Content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, with all faults and without warranty of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, licensors, and suppliers (the "Company Parties") expressly disclaim all warranties, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, quiet enjoyment, and any warranties arising from course of dealing, usage, or trade practice.
13.2 NO WARRANTY OF UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. The Company Parties do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-free, free of viruses or other harmful components, or compatible with your hardware or software, or that defects will be corrected.
13.3 NO WARRANTY OF REGULATORY SUFFICIENCY OR OUTCOMES. Without limiting Section 6.5, the Company Parties do not warrant that any course, Certificate, or training record will satisfy any particular legal, regulatory, contractual, or compliance requirement, will be accepted by any third party, or will prevent injury, incident, citation, loss, or liability.
13.4 NOT LEGAL OR SAFETY ADVICE. Content is provided for general educational purposes only and does not constitute legal, medical, engineering, or professional safety advice. You must not rely on Content as a substitute for consultation with qualified professionals familiar with your specific circumstances. Safety training requires hands-on, site-specific, and supervised application; online training alone is not sufficient to demonstrate competency in many regulated activities.
13.5 THIRD-PARTY CONTENT. The Company Parties make no warranties regarding third-party Content and disclaim all liability for the accuracy, availability, or fitness of such Content.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. To the extent such exclusions are prohibited, the relevant warranties are limited to the minimum scope and duration required by law.
14Limitation of Liability
14.1 EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the Company Parties be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, business opportunity, use, data, reputation, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Services, or any Content, whether based on contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, statute, or any other legal theory, and whether or not the Company Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
14.2 EXCLUSION OF PERSONAL-INJURY-TYPE DAMAGES. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company Parties shall not be liable for any bodily injury, death, property damage, workplace incident, OSHA or other regulatory citation, fine, penalty, insurance loss, or litigation expense arising out of or relating to the use, misuse, or reliance upon any Content, Certificate, or training record. Responsibility for workplace safety rests with the Employer and the individual performing the work.
14.3 CAP ON LIABILITY. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the aggregate liability of the Company Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Services, or any Content, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount paid by you to the Company for the specific Order giving rise to the claim during the six (6) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred United States dollars ($100). Multiple claims shall not expand this cap.
14.4 BASIS OF THE BARGAIN. You acknowledge that the fees charged by the Company reflect the allocation of risk set forth in this Agreement and that the Company would not enter into this Agreement without these limitations. These limitations will apply even if any limited remedy fails of its essential purpose.
14.5 JURISDICTIONAL LIMITS. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. To the extent such limitations are prohibited, the Company Parties' liability is limited to the minimum extent permitted by law.
15Indemnification
You shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company Parties from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising out of or relating to: your access to or use of the Services or Content; your breach or alleged breach of this Agreement; your violation of any law or third-party right; User Content submitted by you; your assignment, administration, or enforcement of training to Learners; any Employer's collection, disclosure, or use of Learner information; any workplace incident, injury, or regulatory action connected in any way with training delivered through the Services; or any unauthorized use of your Account.

16Term and Termination
16.1 Term

16.4 Effect of Termination
Upon termination, your right to access the Services and Content immediately ceases; we may delete or retain User Data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law; outstanding fees become immediately due; any Certificates already issued remain valid subject to their own validity periods, except where termination is due to fraud, cheating, or other material breach, in which case such Certificates may be revoked; and provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including Sections 3.2, 4.5, 9, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 22.
