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 unlimited attempts at passing the Unit Exams following each chapter/unit of instruction. 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 11 unit exams — one at the end of each chapter — 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 each unit exam. If STUDENT does not pass the unit exam with a score of 70% or higher, STUDENT must repeat the failed chapter/unit from the beginning before re-taking the unit exam again. 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 all unit exams 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.

If your certificate is lost or damaged in the mail, you have thirty (30) calendar days from the date of your completion to request a duplicate certificate free of charge. If you request a duplicate certificate after thirty (30) days from the date of your completion, you will be required to pay a $10.00 duplicate certificate fee.
