Seminar Terms and Conditions

The following terms apply to 1) enrollment by persons and/or corporations in seminars and, or classes offered by ABCI, and 2) orders for ABCI’s education materials. These terms, along with any applicable license agreement, are the complete agreement between us regarding the courses or education materials we provide and replace any prior oral or written communications between us. Attendance at a class or your use of any education materials constitutes your agreement to these terms and conditions. Occasionally, we have offerings with additional or different terms and conditions. If so, we will provide those terms and conditions to you. For example, conference terms and conditions are outlined in the conference registration section of the conference website or in the conference brochure for the event.

Seminar and education materials

We list our generally available courses and education materials in various ABCI forms, which we publish from time to time. We may add or withdraw courses and education materials at any time without notice.

Scheduling classes

We will specify the dates of public classes. Private or on-site classes will be scheduled by mutual agreement. We may cancel any scheduled class on notice. If we cancel a class for which you have prepaid, we will refund the price you paid.

Accommodations for students with disabilities

ABCI locations are accessible for students with disabilities. If reasonable accommodations are required for an individual with a disability, please advise ABCI of the accommodations in advance.

Prices and payment

Prices for public classes will be those in effect on the date the class begins. Prices include the use of required education materials and machines. They do not include taxes (where applicable) or student travel and living expenses. ABCI reserves the right to increase prices at any time without prior notification.

Prices for private or on-site classes will be established based on your requirements. Additional charges may apply, such as instructor travel and living expenses, facilities, and remote lab support. You agree to pay amounts due, including applicable taxes and any late payment fees, as we specify in the invoice. Conference cancellation charges will be specified on the conference website or in the conference brochure for the event.

Cancellation charges

You will be charged 50 percent of the full price of a public class if you do not cancel or reschedule your enrollment at least fourteen calendar days prior to the scheduled start date or if you do not show up for the class. However, you may cancel your class enrollment at any time within the three days following your initial or any rescheduled enrollment date without charge.

If you cancel a private or on-site class within seven calendar days prior to the scheduled start date you will be billed the full price of the class; if you cancel between eight and fifteen calendar days prior to the scheduled start date you will be billed 25 percent of the full price; and if you cancel between sixteen and twenty-one calendar days prior to the scheduled start date you will be billed 10 percent of the full price. Cancellation of a private or on-site class more than twenty-one calendar days prior to the scheduled start date may be made without charge.

Conference cancellation charges will be specified on the conference Web site or in the conference brochure for the event.

Self-Paced Virtual Classes and Web-Based Training Classes:

You may not cancel once you submit an order for a Self-Paced Virtual Class or a Web-Based Training Class. Once you submit the order, you are responsible to pay the entire course price.

Online Enrollment: Before you submit your order, review the machine requirements listed in the course description to ensure that your system meets the minimum requirements for this course. After you submit the on-line order form, you should receive a confirmation e-mail with communication about your ID and password, and additional instructions to start the course. You are billed for the course when you submit the order form.

Once you receive your ID and Password, you will be given a period of time to complete the course. Please refer to the course description for specifics regarding your registered course.

ONCE YOU SUBMIT YOUR ORDER, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CANCEL THE ORDER.

Limitation of liability

Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on our part or other liability, you are entitled to recover damages from us. In each such instance, except for the payments referred to in our patent and copyright terms described above, we are liable only for the charges for the class or education material that is the subject of the claim.

This limit also applies to any of our subcontractors. It is the maximum for which we are collectively responsible.

Items for which we are not liable

Under no circumstances are we or our subcontractors liable for any of the following:

  1. third-party claims against you for losses or damages (except as described above in the section entitled “Patents and Copyrights”);
  2. loss of, or damage to, your records or data; or
  3. special, incidental, or indirect damages or for any economic consequential damages (including lost profits or savings), even if we are informed of their possibility.

License

Any machine readable education materials that we provide to you will be subject to the terms and conditions of a license agreement. We will inform you of the applicable agreement.

Warranty

THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES EXCEPT THOSE CONTAINED HEREIN OR IN ANY APPLICABLE LICENSE AGREEMENT. THERE ARE NO IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. WE MAKE NO WARRANTY AS TO RESULTS TO BE ATTAINED BY ATTENDING OUR CLASSES OR USING OUR EDUCATION MATERIALS.

Changes to this agreement

We may modify these terms and conditions on written notice. The modified terms and conditions will apply to your enrollment or order unless you cancel such enrollment or order prior to the effective date.
