ACCOUNTS AND AVAILABILITY

2.1 Access to Services. You must set up an account to access our platform or our Services. To set up your account, you must provide a valid email address. You have complete responsibility for your account and everything that happens on your account, including any harm or damage (to us or anyone else) caused by someone using your account without your permission.

2.2 User Account. You may need to provide certain information about yourself in order to use certain features that are offered through the Services. Any information provided to or data generated by your activities through the Services will be available to CI in order to assist you with the Services. CI reserves the right to close your account at any time for any or no reason.

2.3 Protection of Account. You agree and understand that you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password, which, together with your username, allows you to access the Services. This means you need to be careful with your password and you cannot share your account login credentials with anyone else. You may not transfer your account to someone else or use someone else’s account. As such you agree to: (1) choose a strong and secure password; (2) keep your password secure and confidential; (3) not transfer any part of your account; (4) follow the law; and (5) to notify CI immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or credentials. We may request some information from you to confirm that you are indeed the owner of your account.
Enrollment

3.1 License to Course. When you enroll in a course, you get a restricted license from CI to view it and perform necessary exercises via the CI platform, but for no other use. Courses are licensed, and not sold, to you. This license does not give you any right to resell or transfer the course in any manner (including by sharing account information with a purchaser or illegally downloading the course and sharing it on torrent sites). As such CI grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and view the courses and associated content for which you are eligible through payment of all required fees, enrollment or registration with our educational or business partners requesting your access to certain Services. The license is solely for your personal, non-commercial, educational purposes, in accordance with these Terms and any conditions or restrictions associated with a particular course or feature of our Services. All other uses are expressly prohibited.

3.2 Restriction on Use. You may not reproduce, redistribute, transmit, assign, sell, broadcast, rent, share, lend, modify, adapt, edit, create derivative works of, sublicense, or otherwise transfer or use any course unless we give you explicit permission to do so in a written agreement signed by a CI authorized representative.

3.3 Revocation of License. When you enroll in a course you will receive a time restricted license. We reserve the right to revoke any license to access and use courses at any point in time in the event where we decide or are obligated to disable access to a course due to legal or policy reasons, for example, if the course you enrolled in is the object of a copyright complaint.

FEES AND PAYMENTS

4.1 Subscription Fees. Some CI courses or Services may be subject to subscription fees listed on the Site. If you are located in a country where use and sales tax, goods and services tax, or value added tax is applicable to consumer sales, we are responsible for collecting and remitting that tax to the proper tax authorities. Depending on your location, the price you see may include such taxes, or tax may be added at checkout. Payment obligations are non-cancelable, and Subscription Fees are non-refundable unless provided herein. The Subscription level cannot be decreased during the Subscription Term.

4.2 Payment. You agree to pay the subscription fees for courses that you purchase by providing us with your debit or credit card. You authorize us to charge your debit or credit card or process other means of payment for those fees. CI works with third party payment processing partners to offer you the most convenient payment methods and to keep your payment information secure. You agree not to use an invalid or unauthorized payment method. If your payment method fails you will not be enrolled in the course you are requesting.

COMMUNICATION & PRIVACY

5.1 Communication. By providing CI with your e-mail address, you agree to receive all required notices from CI electronically, to the e-mail address provided.

Additionally, you agree to receive certain communications in connection with the Services. You agree to keep your contact information up to date.

ARBITRATION / GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE FOR DISPUTES

18.1 Arbitration Agreement. You understand that, in return for agreement to this provision, CI is able to offer the Service at the terms designated, and that your assent to this provision is an integral part of CI's willingness to enter into these Terms, except with respect to imminent harm requiring temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in which case CI may seek such relief in any court with jurisdiction over the parties.

Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by arbitration in San Francisco before one arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and pursuant to JAMS' Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. All awards rendered by the arbitrators shall be binding and final, and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.

18.2 Arbitration disclosures.

All parties to these Terms are giving up the right to sue each other in court, including the right to a trial by jury, except as provided by the rules of the arbitration forum in which a claim is filed, or an agreement between the parties to waive arbitration under this paragraph.
Arbitration awards are generally final and binding; a party's ability to have a court reverse or modify an arbitration award is very limited.
The ability to obtain documents, witness statements and other discovery is generally more limited in arbitration than in court proceedings.
The arbitrators do not have to explain the reason for their award.
The panel of arbitrators will typically include a minority of arbitrators who were or are affiliated with the securities industry.
The rules of some arbitration forums may impose time limits for bringing a claim. In some cases, a claim that is ineligible for arbitration may be brought in court.
The rules of the arbitration forum in which the claim is filed, and any amendments thereto, shall be incorporated into these Terms.
No person shall bring a putative or certified class action to arbitration, nor seek to enforce any pre-dispute arbitration agreement against any person who has initiated in court a putative class action or who is a member of putative class who has not opted out of the class with respect to any claims encompassed by the putative class action until: (i) the class certification is denied; (ii) the class is decertified; or (iii) the customer is excluded from the class by the court. Such forbearance to enforce an agreement to arbitrate shall not constitute a waiver of any rights under this Terms except to the extent stated herein.

MISCELLANEOUS

If any portion of this Terms is deemed unlawful, void, or unenforceable by any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, these Terms, as a whole, shall not be deemed unlawful, void, or unenforceable, but only that portion of this Terms that is unlawful, void, or unenforceable shall be stricken from this Terms. You agree that if CI does not exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy which is contained in these Terms (or which CI has the benefit of under any applicable law), such failure to exercise such right or remedy may not be construed as a waiver of any other rights and remedies of CI. These Terms and the Privacy Policy represents the entire understanding and agreement between you and CI regarding the subject matter of the same and supersedes all other previous agreements.
