In consideration of the mutual covenants, terms, and conditions set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

1. License Grant

a. “Order Form(s)” refers to any receipt, order form, or other confirmation provided to Licensee by Company which specifies the type and quantity of “Seat(s)” purchased from Company. Any Order Forms between Company and Licensee are incorporated herein by reference. “Licensed Materials” means the Company’s designated online course(s) identified on one or more Order Forms, including any associated materials, educational programs, digital training materials, software, and other content provided by or through the Company or its licensors, together with any platform used by Company to deliver the foregoing.

b. Company hereby grants to Licensee during the Term a non-exclusive, and non-transferable license, with the right to sublicense in accordance with Section 1.c, to access and use the Licensed Materials within the United States, solely for an Authorized User’s educational purposes. No license or rights are granted to Licensee by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, other than as expressly granted by Company under this Section 1. Each purchased Seat permits one individual user to access the Licensed Course under the terms hereof.

c. For each Seat purchased under an Order Form, Licensee may grant one sublicense for the applicable Licensed Materials under the license granted in Section 1.b to an Authorized User. All sublicenses must be subject to and consistent with the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement.

2. Participation Not Guaranteed

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the purchase of any Seat(s) by Licensee is an application subject to Company’s online enrollment process and acceptance by Company. Company is under no obligation to accept any application and may deny any application in its sole discretion. A confirmation of a successful checkout on the Company’s website shall not constitute acceptance of the application. If a Licensee is denied, this Agreement shall have no effect and any fees paid by Licensee in connection with the denied application shall be returned.

3. Term

The term of each Seat under this Agreement shall be one (1) year from the date of purchase of such Seat (the “Standard Term”). After the Standard Term, Licensee may renew any such Seat for subsequent terms of one (1) year at Company’s then-current pricing and terms (each a “Renewal Term” and together with the Standard Term, the “Term”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company may, from time to time, offer Seats under limited-time promotional programs (each, a “Founder Cohort”), which may be available for a defined enrollment period and may include modified pricing, terms, or license duration as specified at the time of purchase.

For Seats purchased as part of a Founder Cohort, the applicable license term shall be evergreen (continuing until terminated), rather than subject to a Standard Term or Renewal Term, provided that Licensee remains in compliance with this Agreement and timely pays any applicable ongoing fees. Such Seats shall continue on an ongoing basis unless and until terminated by either party in accordance with this Agreement or as otherwise specified in writing at the time of purchase.

Company reserves the right to establish and modify the pricing, structure, and availability of any Founder Cohort offering in its sole discretion, and participation in any such offering shall not create any obligation for Company to offer similar terms in the future.

4. Cancellation & Termination

a. Either Party may terminate this Agreement in its entirety or any Seat immediately upon notice to the other Party if such other Party (including Licensee through its Authorized Users) materially breaches this Agreement and has not cured such breach, if capable of cure, to the reasonable satisfaction of the other Party within thirty (30) days after notice of such breach from the non-breaching Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement or any Seat shall automatically and immediately terminate, without opportunity for cure, on Licensee’s or the applicable Authorized User’s, respectively, disclosure of the Licensed Materials in breach of this Agreement.

b.

b. During the Term for any Seat, Licensee may, in its reasonable discretion, charge the applicable Authorized User for access to the Licensed Materials.

c. Unless otherwise listed on the Order Form, all Fees and other amounts payable by Licensee under this Agreement are exclusive of taxes and similar assessments.

Licensee shall provide written notice to Company of the name and contact information of each new Authorized User. Seat sharing or group access through shared access credentials is strictly prohibited and is a breach of this Agreement.

b. Company shall provide Licensee with instructions to allow its Authorized Users to be delegated and access any Seats purchased hereunder within three (3) business days of such purchase. During the Term, Company may, in its sole discretion, provide Licensee with updates to the Licensed Materials at no additional charge.

Licensee may purchase a new Seat including any such updates at Company’s then-current Fees, provided that Licensee is in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
