9. TERMS OF COURSE PURCHASE

Registration
To use the Website, you will be asked to register. You agree (i) to provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by our registration form; and (ii) to maintain and promptly update the information you provide to keep it true, accurate, current and complete.

SoundIntuition is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your account information.

Online Courses
For Online Courses, you understand and agree that:

• courses are purchased for a single student/user;
• they may not be shared with others (e.g., used in a classroom setting); 
• SoundIntuition does not grant continuing education units (“CEUs”) but rather provides CEU opportunities.  These are granted by the applicable governing body (“CEU Body”) that provides and approves the course content, and not SoundIntuition;
• not all courses are eligible for CEUs, and a single course may attract a different number of CEUs from different CEU Bodies; 
• courses requiring test completion must be passed to be eligible to obtain the associated CEUs.  The threshold for a pass is set and governed by the applicable CEU Body that provides and approves the course content, and not SoundIntuition; 
• you are responsible for reading and understanding the CEU units associated with each course;  
• if you authorized SoundIntuition to do so when registering, test results and related information will be shared by SoundIntuition with the CEU Body granting the CEUs for the course without notice to you;
• SoundIntuition does not share failures with the CEU Body, nor does it report how many times you took a test before passing
• once you have registered for a course, you have 30 days to begin the course and related tests -- all courses will expire one year from the date of online publication/release, regardless of when the course is started; 
• once a course is started
  • you have 7 days to complete the course and any tests to earn the CEUs (as applicable).  
  • if you do not do so within 7 days, a failure grade will be assigned and you must re-purchase the course to try again;
  • you have 3 attempts to take any required tests for the course – if you fail three times you must re-purchase the course to try again;
  • failures are counted as an attempt, but as noted above are not reported to the specific CEU Body/ies for the course;
• once a test is started, you must complete it – closing your browser for any reason before completing a  test is counted either as a failed attempt to pass the test; or failure of the course itself if it was a third attempt at taking the test.  

Rewards Program – Points 
Points are assigned at a ratio of one point for every twenty dollars spent on the purchase of SoundIntuition courses. Points can be used to purchase courses, in whole or in part, at a value of one point per dollar. They can be redeemed at any time.

Reports to CEU Granting Bodies
If (but only if) you authorized us to do so when registering, we provide reports regarding courses completed and user information to the CEU body or bodies you specify, automatically on completion and without prior notice to you. 

Customer Feedback 
Upon completion of our courses, please give us your feedback. Our quality assurance team uses this data for proactive continuous improvement.
