Courses, Course Material, and Certificate Policies

9.1 Course Registration: Your registration for a Course or bundle of Courses is specific to the particular Course or bundle of Courses for which you have registered. You may not cancel your registration for a Course or change the Course specified in your registration, except in accordance with CFI’s refund policy, as amended by CFI from time to time, which is available on the Website.

9.2 Changes to Courses and Course Materials: Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms of Service, CFI may at any time cancel or otherwise make unavailable or modify any Course or any Course Material, including any Assessments.

9.3 Assessment Integrity: You acknowledge that Assessments are designed to measure a user’s proficiency or other skills based upon spontaneous, unassisted, original answers provided by the user. If you complete an Assessment, you will provide spontaneous, unassisted answers to the Assessment, and you will not give answers that are memorized or copied from other sources (including answers of another user). You will not encourage or assist any other person to cheat on an Assessment or encourage, engage in or assist any act or omission that might compromise the security of an Assessment or impair the integrity of any Assessment.

9.4 Assessment Confidentiality: To ensure the continued integrity of Assessments, you will maintain the confidentiality of the questions contained in an Assessment and your answers to those questions, and you will not disclose any of those questions or your answers to any other person.

9.5 Assessment Requirements – Computer Skills: You acknowledge that Assessments are administered by computer and require basic computer skills (using a mouse and typing), and you will not be entitled to retake an Assessment or receive a refund of fees if you lack the computer skills required to take an Assessment or if your lack of required computer skills adversely affects your performance on the Assessment.

9.6 Assessment Answers: You hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grant and agree to grant to CFI a non-exclusive, world-wide, unrestricted, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free, fully paid-up, perpetual, irrevocable right and license to use and exploit (including copy, reproduce, publish, republish, translate, upload, post, publicly display, transmit, communicate or make available to the public, or otherwise disclose or distribute), and authorize other persons to use and exploit, your Assessment answers (without disclosure of your name or other identifying information) in any manner and using any and all forms, media and technologies now in existence or developed in the future for any and all purposes, including to advertise, promote and market CFI’s products and services, all without any compensation or attribution to you, and you hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waive and agree to waive in favour of CFI and its successors, assigns and licensees all moral rights and rights of authorship and attribution that you have in, to, or associated with your Assessment answers.

9.7 Irregularities: CFI may in its discretion refuse to score an Assessment, release your results on an Assessment or invalidate your completion of an Assessment if CFI believes that the security of the Assessment or the integrity of your completion of the Assessment have been impaired or compromised for any reason whatsoever, including as a result of administrative errors or cheating or other misconduct by you.

9.8 Certificates: Following your successful completion of the requirements (including all applicable Assessments) for a Course or a bundle of Courses, as determined by CFI in CFI’s sole discretion and subject to these Terms of Service, CFI will grant you a Certificate in respect of the Course or the bundle of Courses. CFI will send or cause to be sent an electronic copy of your Certificate to the email address you provided to CFI.

9.9 Disclosure of Certificate: If you submit a copy of one or more of your Certificates to an institution, association, organization or entity, including a current or potential employer (each an “Authorized Organization”), or if you authorize CFI to disclose a copy of one or more of your Certificates to an Authorized Organization, or if you authorize an Authorized Organization to obtain a copy of one or more of your Certificates from CFI, then you unconditionally and irrevocably consent to CFI disclosing to the Authorized Organization your name and other personal information and a copy of the Certificate, and you agree that CFI is not responsible or liable for the Authorized Organization’s use or disclosure of the disclosed information and the copy of the Certificate.

9.10 No Other Certification: A Certificate granted to you in respect of a Course or a bundle of Courses evidences your successful completion of that Course or bundle of Courses only. Unless otherwise explicitly stated by a credit-granting institution, participation in or completion of a Course or a bundle of Courses does not confer any academic or continuing education credit or any other designation or certification on you.

9.11 Consequences of Breach/Misconduct: Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms of Service, if you breach these Terms of Service or any Other Agreement then, in addition to all other lawful remedies, CFI may in its discretion: (a) cancel your registration for any and all pending Courses; (b) refuse to score an Assessment completed by you; (c) refuse to accept your registration for any future Courses; (d) refuse to give you a refund of fees paid for Courses; (e) invalidate your completion of an Assessment or a Course; and (f) invalidate any Certificate you received in respect of a Course.
