Chargeback Threats, Reversal of Payment, Payment Cancellations, and Actual Chargebacks

Since we have a clear and explicit refund policy in these Terms of Use that you have agreed to prior to completing the purchase of any of our Programs, Services and Program Materials, you agree that any type of chargeback threat, reversal of payment, payment cancellation, actual chargeback or claim from your credit card company, PayPal, financial institution, or any other payment service will constitute a breach of these Terms of Use on your part.

CONFIDENTIALITY AND PRIVACY

Our Privacy Policy forms part of these Terms of Use and may be found here (hyperlink to Privacy Policy)

Duty to Disclose

Members of the Ontario College of Teachers have an immediate and direct duty to report suspected abuse and/or neglect of children and youth to a children’s aid society. The Teacher is legally obligated to report suspected abuse and/or neglect even if that requires breaching confidentiality. In these circumstances, the Teacher’s obligation as a licensed teacher supersedes any obligations under this Agreement. The Teacher agrees to advise The Academy of the suspected abuse and/or neglect at the same time as they report same to a children’s aid society.

While our teachers may be board-licensed teachers, The Academy is not affiliated with or endorsed by any school board in Canada.

Dispute Resolution

 It is hoped that should we ever have any differences, we will be able to work them out amicably through email correspondence and telephone conference calls. However, should we be unable to seek resolution within a reasonable time as determined in our sole discretion, you agree now that the only method of legal dispute resolution that will be used is binding arbitration before a single arbitrator who practices in the province of Ontario, selected jointly by us. Before seeking arbitration, you must contact us in writing, and include all of your reasons for dissatisfaction with your program, Services or Program Materials. You understand and agree now that the only remedy that can be awarded to you through arbitration is full refund of your payment made to date. No other actions or financial awards of consequential damages, punitive or aggravated damages, or any other type of damages, may be granted to you. We both agree now that the decision of the arbitrator is final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction in Ontario.

By purchasing our Programs, Services or Program Materials, you are agreeing to a modification of the statute of limitations such that any arbitration must be begun within one (1) year of the date of your email referenced above or you waive the right to seek dispute resolution by arbitration or to take any other legal action against us.

You also agree that should arbitration take place, it will be held in the City of Toronto in the Province of Ontario, Canada, as this is where our business is located, and you further agree that the winning party shall be entitled to all reasonable lawyer’s fees and all costs necessary to enforce the decision of the arbitrator.

In the event of a dispute between us, you agree to not engage in any conduct or communications, whether in public or in private including but not limited to on social media, either directly or indirectly, designed to disparage us, our company, or any of our Programs, Services or Program Materials. Where requested by law or arbitration, of course, you are not prohibited from sharing your thoughts and opinions as part of the legal process.
