Subscription, Billing, and Cancellation

Subscription

Ongoing Subscription: CareerSmart Learning offers a customizable annual subscription, starting at $150.00/year, with an additional $50.00 per year for up to two (2) additional accreditation requirements ($250.00/year). Your CareerSmart Learning subscription will last one (1) year from the date of purchase. You must have Internet access and provide CareerSmart Learning with a current, valid, accepted method of payment (which may be updated from time to time, “Payment Method”) to use the CareerSmart Learning service. We will bill the subscription fee to your Payment Method. You must cancel your subscription before it renews, after one year, if you wish to discontinue services and avoid billing of the next installment’s subscription fees to your Payment Method.
Affirmative Consent and Acknowledgement: By subscribing to a plan with automatic renewal or continuous service, you expressly agree and provide affirmative consent to the terms of renewal, including the renewal frequency, price, and cancellation policy. We will require you to affirmatively opt in (e.g., via a checkbox or button) separately from other terms. We will maintain records verifying that consent for at least three (3) years or one (1) year after termination, whichever is longer.

Billing

Renewal, Billing, & Price Change Disclosures

Prior to confirming your billing information, we will clearly and conspicuously disclose the following:

That your subscription will automatically renew unless canceled
The renewal term/frequency (e.g., annually)
The renewal price (or how it may change) and any associated fees
The method by which you may cancel

If we make any price increase or material change to the subscription terms (other than as otherwise permitted in this agreement), we will notify you in advance (generally 7–30 calendar days before the change takes effect). You may cancel before the change takes effect if you do not wish to continue under the new terms.

Recurring Billing

By starting your CareerSmart Learning subscription and designating a Payment Method and recurring billing, you authorize us to charge you an annual subscription payment at the current rate. Any discount applied to your subscription, if applicable, will be temporary and considered redeemed upon use and billing. Renewal of subscriptions shall be at CareerSmart Learning’s then-current rate, without any discount. You acknowledge that the amount billed each year may vary for reasons that may include changing or adding to the plan to which you initially subscribed, and you authorize CareerSmart Learning to charge your Payment Method for such varying amounts.

Price Changes

We reserve the right to adjust pricing for our service(s) or any components thereof in any manner and at any time as we may determine in our sole discretion. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in these Terms of Use, any price changes to your service will take effect following notice to you.

Billing Cycle

The subscription fee for our service will be billed at the beginning of your subscription and annually on your renewal date thereafter unless and until you cancel your subscription. We automatically bill your Payment Method on your renewal date. Subscription fees are fully earned upon payment. We reserve the right to change the timing of our billing if your Payment Method has not successfully settled. As used in these Terms of Use, “billing” shall indicate a charge, debit, or other payment clearance, as applicable, against your Payment Method. Unless otherwise stated differently, “installment period” refers to your billing cycle.

Payment Methods

You may edit your Payment Method information through your account on the CareerSmart Learning website. If a payment is not successfully settled, due to Payment Method expiration, insufficiency of funds, or otherwise, and you do not edit your Payment Method information or cancel your account (see “Cancellation” below), you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts and authorize us to continue billing the Payment Method, once it is updated, or you agree to promptly pay all such uncollected amounts by another method. This may result in a change to your payment billing dates. For certain Payment Methods, the issuer of your Payment Method may charge you a foreign transaction fee or other applicable fees. Check with your Payment Method service provider for details. CareerSmart Learning is not responsible for any fees charged by the learner’s service provider.

Cancellation

This defense and indemnification obligation will survive this Agreement and User’s use of the Website. This provision is void, inapplicable, and unenforceable within the State of New Jersey.

ARBITRATION AND WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION. EXCEPT AS THE TERMS OTHERWISE PROVIDE, YOU AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND THE COMPANY WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO BRING OR PARTICPIATE IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

Arbitration. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator to resolve a dispute instead of a judge or jury. It results in a final and binding decision that is subject to limited appellate review. By agreeing to arbitration, you waive the right to resolve your dispute through other available processes such as court or an administrative proceeding. An arbitrator must honor the terms in this Terms of Service and can generally award the same damages and relief a court can award under the law, including declaratory or injunctive relief. Certain rights that you might have in court, such as access to discovery, may be unavailable or limited in arbitration.

Any dispute, controversy or claim between you and the Company, its agents, employees, officers, directors, principals, successors, assigns, subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively for purposes of this section, “Company”) arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Website, or the Services (collectively “Dispute”) shall be settled by final and binding arbitration.

Any arbitration will be held before a single neutral arbitrator and will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules and the Consumer Due Process Protocol (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) as currently in effect, and as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. You can find the AAA Rules online at https://www.adr.org/consumer or you can call the AAA at 800-778-7879, or write them at American Arbitration Association Case Filing Services, 1101 Laurel Oak Road, Suite 100, Voorhees, NJ 08043 (the “AAA Notice Address”).

All Disputes shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflict of laws. If there is a conflict between the AAA Rules and this arbitration clause, the arbitrator shall resolve such conflicts so as to preserve the parties’ mutual obligation to arbitrate claims on an individual basis.

Process. You agree to first try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting us in writing at 2650 E. Imperial Highway, Suite 206 Brea, CA 92821. If the Dispute is not resolved within 60 days of submission, you agree that you or the Company may initiate arbitration.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of arbitration:

you or the Company may assert a claim in small claims court in the United States if your claim qualifies, provided that it is brought and maintained solely as an individual claim; and
you or the Company may assert a claim in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

The arbitrator shall have sole authority to and shall address all claims or arguments by both parties, concerning the formation, legality, and enforceability of this arbitration clause, the scope of this arbitration clause, and the arbitrability of any claim or issue arising between you and the Company.

To initiate the arbitration process, send a letter to the AAA and to the Company, 2650 East Imperial Highway with a request for arbitration and a description of your claim. You may also send a copy to the AAA online at https://www.adr.org. The AAA’s rules govern payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees. Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses and an equal share of the arbitrators’ and administrative fees of arbitration.

Arbitration may be conducted at a location that is reasonably convenient for you. Upon request of either party, the arbitration shall be conducted via telephone to the extent permitted by the AAA Rules. The arbitrator will follow these Terms of Service and the award will be final and binding. At the conclusion of arbitration, the arbitrator shall issue a written decision explaining the basis for the award. Any awarded relief shall not exceed what is allowed by applicable law and the Terms of Service. The parties agree that any declaratory or injunctive award may be vacated or corrected on appeal by either party to a court of competent jurisdiction for an error of law or legal reasoning. The parties shall bear their own costs and fees for any appeal. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties.

You agree that this arbitration section shall apply to any dispute or claim with other parties arising out of or relating to the Agreement or Website, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this section, regardless of the date of accrual, except that you or any such third parties may take claims to small court if they qualify for hearing by such a court.

Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties.

If for any reason this arbitration clause is deemed inapplicable or invalid, you and we both waive, to the fullest extent allowed by law, any claims to recover punitive or exemplary damages.

Jury Trial and Class Action Waiver. IF FOR ANY REASON A DISPUTE OR CLAIM MAY PROCEED IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SITE (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY), UNLESS SUCH WAIVERS ARE UNENFORCEABLE.

Except as the Terms otherwise provide, you waive the right to a trial by jury and to the litigation of disputes in state or federal courts of general jurisdiction. You also agree that you may only resolve Disputes with the Company on an individual basis and may not assert a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class action, class-wide arbitration, consolidated or representative action, and expressly waive your right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis.

The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief to you only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim. Other rights that you would have if you went to court, such as access to discovery, also may be unavailable or limited in arbitration.

Other. If any portion of this ARBITRATION AND WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION clause is determined by a court to be inapplicable or invalid, the remainder of the clause shall still be given full force and effect.

To the extent that any other provision of the Terms is found to be inconsistent with rights, duties, and requirements of this ARBITRATION AND WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION clause, or where the application of such a provision would change or render unenforceable any part of this arbitration clause, such provision shall be null and void and the terms of this ARBITRATION AND WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION clause shall control.

IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF A JURISDICTION THAT REQUIRES A SPECIFIC STATEMENT REGARDING RELEASE, THEN THE FOLLOWING APPLIES. FOR EXAMPLE, CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS MUST, AS A CONDITION OF THESE TERMS, WAIVE THE APPLICABILITY OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH STATES, “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.” YOU HEREBY WAIVE THIS SECTION OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY SIMILAR PROVISION IN LAW, REGULATION, OR CODE THAT HAS THE SAME INTENT OR EFFECT AS THE AFOREMENTIONED PROVISION.
