Terms of Use
The following are the terms of use between you ("STUDENT") and GetDefensive.com
("GD"). By accessing, using, and/or browsing this site,
you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms
of this agreement.
Use of the GetDefensive.com Web Site:
Falsification of documents submitted to the court is a crime and is punishable by
law. By registering for the GD course and receiving a Certificate of Completion,
STUDENT states that he/she studied all of the material in the GD course, completed
all of the quizzes at the end of the chapters, and completed and passed the final
examination at the end of the course. If GD discovers that STUDENT has willfully
misrepresented himself/herself, has cheated, or has attempted to circumvent the
security validation mechanisms, STUDENT will be stopped from taking the course with
no refund of the registration fees. STUDENT also may be prosecuted for perjury and
other criminal acts.
Charges and Terms of Payment: By registering
for the course, a fee in the amount of $25.00 will be charged to STUDENT.
This includes access to all educational materials in the course as well as all quizzes
and three attempts at passing the final exam. It also includes the price of the
Certificate of Completion upon passing the course and the mailing of the certificate
via US Mail. However, there will be additional charges for the expedited shipping
of the certificate, which will vary based on the type of delivery method selected.
All fees must be paid in full before STUDENT begins the course. STUDENT may pay
by credit card, check, or money order.
Course Schedule: This course is
comprised of 11 chapters of instruction and a final exam to be completed in
6 hours, at a minimum. Sharon Naim is the Instructor for this
course (#CP021). GD will be available to STUDENT 24
hours a day, 7 days a week. This availability may be affected by circumstances
such as, but not limited to: system, site, or connectivity failure over which GD
has no control.
Grading and Progress Policy: STUDENT
agrees that he/she may not be certified or given credit for the course unless STUDENT
scores 70% or higher on the final exam. Alternative testing techniques for
students with reading, hearing, or learning handicaps and policies for re-testing
students who score less than 70% will be a) a review of material; b) translation,
if necessary and possible; and c) re-testing, verbally if necessary.
STUDENT will be asked a minimum of 40 content validation questions throughout the
course, not including the final exam questions.
Timers: STUDENT is required to spend
a minimum amount of time on each chapter of the material, which will be specified
in each section and chapter by a page timer. Page timers
may not be circumvented by clicking the quit icon. If STUDENT exits the course before
the page timer has expired, he/she will not be given credit for the page content.
Cancellation and Refund Policy:
A full refund will be made to STUDENT, prior to attempting the final exam, if he/she
cancels the enrollment contract within 3 business days of registering. This does
not include Saturdays, Sundays, or Holidays. If STUDENT has not successfully completed
the course within 180 days, his/her registration will be terminated without notice,
and he/she will not be eligible for a refund. All registration fees paid are due
and refundable when the course of instruction is discontinued by GD, preventing
STUDENT from completing the course, or the enrollment of STUDENT was procured as
a result of any misrepresentation in the advertising and promotional materials of
GD, or any misrepresentation made by the owner or employee of GD.
Any refund will be made within 30 days of the effective date of termination.
Completion and Certificate Policy: STUDENT
understands that he/she must complete all sections of the course material and pass
the final exam with a score of 70% or higher in order to receive his/her Certificate
of Completion. GD is prohibited from issuing a uniform certificate of course completion
if STUDENT has not met all of the requirements for course completion, and STUDENT
should not accept a uniform certificate of course completion under such circumstances.
Hardware and Software Requirements: GD
prescribes minimum hardware and software requirements for completing the course.
Minimum browser requirements include the use of Microsoft Internet Explorer
(MSIE) 6.0 or greater, Netscape version 4.8 or greater, or any other browsers that
