Neither the Content nor the User Content (as defined herein) is intended to be, and it is not, a substitute for personal and individualized professional medical advice, diagnosis, and treatment, including but not limited to psychological counseling or rehabilitation services, or the personal and individualized advice of non-medically trained professionals such as mentors or life coaches.

Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health care provider with any questions you may have about your health or mental health or before embarking on a course of treatment. None of the advice, products, remedies, or treatments mentioned on the Web Properties are guaranteed to be safe, appropriate, or effective for you or your specific medical and mental health needs.

6. USER ACCOUNT, PASSWORD AND SECURITY.

To the extent that a User Account is used by you in connection with the Web Properties, the following shall apply:

(a) USER ACCOUNT. To access certain types of features, the Content and the User Content available through the Web Properties, we require the use of a Username and password after setting up a User Account. We use reasonable precautions to protect the privacy of your Username, password, and User Account information. You, however, are ultimately responsible for protecting your Username, password, and User Account information from disclosure to third parties, and you are not permitted to circumvent the use of required encryption technologies, if any. You agree to (i) immediately notify Course Cafe of any unauthorized use of your Username, password, or User Account, or any other breach of security, and (ii) ensure that you exit from your User Account at the end of each session. While we provide certain encryption technologies and use other reasonable precautions to protect your confidential information and provide suitable security, we do not and cannot guarantee or warrant that information transmitted through the Internet is secure, or that such transmissions are free from delay, interruption, interception or error. In order to purchase and download the Content and/or the User Content from the Web Properties, you must enter your Username and password. You agree that payment information, including maintaining and billing fees, can be stored in your User Account.

(b) ACCURATE INFORMATION. In creating and using your User Account for use on the Web Properties, you agree to: (i) provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself on any registration form required for the Web Properties (such information being the “Registration Data”); (ii) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current, and complete; and (iii) maintain and promptly update payment information to keep it true, accurate, current, and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, or if Course Cafe has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, then we have the right to suspend or terminate your User Account and refuse any and all current or future use of your User Account.

(c) NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF USER ACCOUNT. User Accounts and Usernames are non-transferable, and all users are obligated to take preventative measures to prohibit unauthorized users from accessing the Web Properties with his or her Username and password.

7. USER PURCHASES.

Access to the Content and certain areas of the Web Properties will generally be provided on a paid basis (collectively, the “Paid Portions”). Paid Portions may also include any physical materials, such as DVDs and handouts, which complement the Content and the Web Properties. Course Cafe intends to offer the Paid Portions on a course-by-course basis, as well as on a subscription basis. However, Course Cafe reserves the right to grant free trial periods and/or free access to some or all of the Web Properties and the Content at its sole discretion.

(a) CONTENT DESCRIPTIONS. Prior to you purchasing any Paid Portions, Course Cafe will make available to you a reasonable description of the Paid Portions. Although Course Cafe attempts to be as accurate as possible, Course Cafe does not warrant that descriptions of Paid Portions are or will remain accurate, complete, current, reliable, or error-free.

(b) PAYMENT. You agree that you will pay for Paid Portions access that you purchase. Once a User Account has been created, you will have the ability to link the User Account to a valid credit or debit card. You must provide your credit or debit card number, expiration date, card security code, billing address, and any other information that we may require in order to complete any purchase. You agree to provide us with current, complete, and accurate information for your billing information and to promptly notify us if there is any change in your billing address and, where you have paid by credit or debit card, will promptly notify us if there is any change to your card number, or card expiration date or if your card is cancelled (for example, for loss or theft). You agree that Course Cafe may store your credit or debit card information and charge your credit or debit card for any of your current and future purchases. You are solely responsible for all charges and applicable fees (including taxes and any fees assessed by your bank) associated with orders submitted through your User Account. If Course Cafe is unable to charge the full cost of your purchase to the credit or debit card you provide, we may cancel your order, terminate your subscription, or request an alternate form of payment. YOU ARE PROHIBITED FROM ACCESSING OR USING ANY PAID PORTIONS UNTIL YOU HAVE PAID THE FULL COST OF YOUR PURCHASE, AND ANY SUCH UNAUTHORIZED USE SHALL CONSTITUTE, AMONG OTHER THINGS, WILLFUL COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT. Course Cafe’s designated merchant processor will collect your credit or debit card information and related personal information for its use in processing your payment for the Paid Portions purchased through your User Account, and you consent to such use.

(c) PRICING. You understand that the prices for purchasing Paid Portions may change from time to time, but that the Web Properties will reflect current prices in effect at the time of an order by you. Course Cafe does not offer any price protection or price adjustments in the event of a current or subsequent price reduction or promotional offering.

(d) AUTOMATIC RENEWAL. If you purchase a subscription to the Paid Portions, Course Cafe will automatically renew your plan after the expiration of the applicable initial term by charging your credit or debit card for the then current renewal price, unless you cancel or terminate your subscription at least three (3) business days prior to commencement of the relevant renewal period. Course Cafe must receive your request to terminate the automatic renewal of your subscription to the Paid Portions at least three (3) business days prior to the date of renewal in order for the request to be effective. You may terminate your subscription to the Paid Portions and/or terminate the automatic renewal of your access to the Paid Portions at any time by contacting our customer support team on our Contact Page. [insert hyperlink to Contact Page] Your decision to terminate your subscription to use the Paid Portions or to terminate the automatic renewal does not entitle you to a refund for amounts already paid, subject to our Refunds policy as set forth below. If your credit or debit card information has changed and we are unable to process the automatic payment, then your subscription and ability to access the Paid Portions will immediately terminate upon expiration of the original subscription term or at such time thereafter that we may determine in our sole discretion. You agree that you will not knowingly access or use any Paid Portions until you have paid the full cost of your purchase.

(e) REFUNDS. If for any reason you are unsatisfied with your purchase of access to the Paid Portions, you may request a refund within 30 days from the date of the purchase (the “Refund Period”). We reserve the right to decline any refund if we determine in our sole discretion that you are abusing our refund policy. To request a refund during the Refund Period, please contact our customer support team on our Contact Page, [insert hyperlink to Contact Page] and we will refund the purchase price or subscription renewal price of Paid Portions, as applicable. You agree to contact our customer service representatives before attempting to dispute charges with, or obtain a refund from, your credit or debit card company and/or related financial institution. The Refund Period commences from the date and time of purchase (or renewal) as indicated on the receipt provided to you by us or our billing provider at the time of purchase. Any refund request received outside of the 30 day time period, or any refund request after your first refund request, may be denied in our sole discretion. We accept no responsibility for any late refund request that is not received by us (due to any reason whatsoever) during the applicable 30 day Refund Period. Upon submitting a refund request with our customer service representatives, you will receive a confirmation message by email. It is your responsibility to retain a copy of this confirmation message. If you do not receive a confirmation message within 72 hours of submittal of your refund request, it is your responsibility to notify us that you did not receive a confirmation message. If you purchase a subscription plan for Paid Portions for multiple periods (e.g., a three month plan) and you decide to cancel during such period, we will refund you the difference, if any, between the amount you paid and the amount you would have incurred if you were subject to our standard pricing in effect during such time and not subject to our special pricing offered through any subscription plan. All refunds will be processed by us within a reasonable period of time to the same credit or debit card as was used to complete the purchase, or by company check if such payment method is not available. Once the refund is processed by us, it may take up to one week or longer for the refund to be credited back to your account. You should contact us if you do not receive your refund within 60 days of your request. Refunds will only be issued for Paid Products and shall not include shipping and handling charges, if any. Course Cafe has the right to refuse any refund if Course Cafe believes, in its sole discretion, that you have violated these Terms.

(f) FRAUDULENT CHARGES. You agree to promptly report all fraud and misuse of your credit or debit card that is used to purchase Paid Portions from us. You agree to indemnify and hold Course Cafe harmless from any and all claims, fines or other damages imposed by any credit card company or other entity due to chargebacks which are the result of your fraudulent actions.

(g) CHARGEBACKS. If a chargeback is received, we may discontinue any or all services associated with your account and discontinue your access to the Paid Portions regardless of the amount or the specific purchase disputed. Course Cafe may deny any or all future orders from you due to a chargeback history associated with your Course Cafe account. If you have any questions or concerns regarding a Course Cafe purchase or charges listed on your account or billing statement, please contact us immediately to review your account. For any chargebacks submitted by you as fraudulent, we will require documentary evidence from your credit card company stating that the charge was fraudulent and that your credit card and/or credit card numbers were stolen or otherwise falsely obtained and used. Failure to provide this information may result in us disputing the chargeback. You agree to pay all costs incurred in the enforcement of the terms and conditions of these Terms against you and in collection of any unpaid or overdue amounts due, including bank fees, reasonable attorneys' fees and any other costs.

8. OBJECTIONABLE MATERIAL.

You acknowledge that in using the Web Properties and accessing the Content and/or the User Content, you may encounter material that you deem to be disturbing, offensive or objectionable. Course Cafe will use its best efforts to provide descriptions of its courses, other Content and/or User Content to limit exposure to potentially upsetting Content and/or User Content. However, you agree to use the Web Properties at your sole risk and Course Cafe shall have no liability to you for material that may be disturbing, objectionable or offensive to you.

A repeat infringer is a user of the Web Properties who has been notified of infringing activity more than twice and/or has had User Content removed from the Web Properties more than twice. Course Cafe also reserves the right to decide whether User Content is appropriate and complies with these Terms for violations other than violations of intellectual property law, such as, but not limited to, obscene or defamatory material. Course Cafe may remove such User Content and/or cause the termination of a User Account for uploading such material in violation of these Terms at any time, without prior notice and at its sole discretion. You acknowledge and agree that Course Cafe may disclose your identity in connection with any claim of an intellectual property violation.

User Content is also subject to Course Cafe’s Privacy Policy [insert hyperlink to Privacy Policy]. Course Cafe will use best efforts to keep the identity of the author of any User Content confidential, referring only to User Content by Username. HOWEVER, COURSE CAFE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THE IDENTITY OF THE AUTHOR OF USER CONTENT WILL BE KEPT CONFIDENTIAL. USER CONTENT ITSELF WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY OBLIGATION OF CONFIDENTIALITY ON OUR PART, NOR WILL WE BE LIABLE FOR THE USE OR DISCLOSURE OF ANY USER CONTENT.
