  • Payment Terms. K¹² requires payment by credit card when an order is placed, whether the order is placed over the phone with a K¹² sales representative or whether the order is entered via the K¹² secure website. The customer is required to contact K¹² to inform and resolve all account, service, and billing disputes. If the customer chooses to issue a chargeback via their credit card company, K¹² reserves the right to charge the customer the fees incurred in resolving the disputed charge. If payment is declined by our third party billing processor at any time then the customer's online learning platform can be deactivated immediately at K¹²'s sole discretion. If the customer provides another form of payment, and the payment is secured, then K¹² will reactivate the customer's account and a $25 nonrefundable reactivation fee will be charged to customer's credit card. ANY INTERRUPTION IN PAYMENT CAN RESULT IN THE CUSTOMER LOSING ANY DISCOUNT OFFERED BY K¹². IN ADDITION, NON PAYMENT MAY RESULT IN K¹² REQUIRING THE CUSTOMER TO PAY IN FULL THE BALANCE OF THEIR CONTRACT IN ORDER TO KEEP THEIR ACCOUNT ACTIVE. If collection action is taken to collect funds due to K¹² then the customer is responsible for payment of all costs and fees associated with the K¹² effort to collect unpaid funds. K¹² reserves the right to charge a customer a returned check fee in the amount of $25 per check and per event or in accordance with local statutes.
• INTERNATIONAL ORDERS. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Customer Agreement, refunds for orders from any address outside of the United States will only be made by credit to the same credit card number on which a purchase was made. If that credit card number is no longer valid, for any reason, no refund will be available. Refunds and credits for international customers may be further restricted or unavailable to the extent required by United States law.

SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
• DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND BINDING ARBITRATION.
  • Small Claims Court and Binding Arbitration. Except for disputes that are resolved in Small Claims Court, the parties agree to fully and finally settle all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or related to this agreement, the online learning platform or the Materials only by binding arbitration. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and review is limited, but an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief, and must honor the same limitations in this agreement, as a court would. If an applicable statute provides for an award of attorney's fees, an arbitrator can award them, too, to the extent permitted by law. The parties also agree that, except for disputes that are resolved in small claims court: (1) the Federal Arbitration Act applies to this agreement and any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this agreement, the online learning platform or any Materials and (2) any dispute between the parties will be settled by a neutral arbitrators before the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") or the Better Business Bureau ("BBB"). The complaining party can choose either the AAA's supplementary procedures for consumer-related disputes, an individual action in Small Claims Court, or the BBB's rules for binding arbitration. The arbitrators must apply the federal rules of evidence and either party may have an award reviewed by a panel of three (3) new arbitrators. You can obtain procedures, rules, and fee information from the AAA (www.adr.org), and the BBB (www.bbb.org).
  • Any arbitration award made after completion of arbitration is final and binding and may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction. An award and any judgment enforcing it only applies to the arbitration proceeding in which it was awarded and cannot be used in any other case except to enforce the award itself.
• GOVERNING LAW. This agreement, including its validity or applicability, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its choice of law rules with the sole exception that if the application of Virginia law is held to be invalid due to public policy reasons, then this agreement, including its validity or applicability, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its choice of law rules.
• ABOUT THIS AGREEMENT. A waiver of any part of this Agreement in one instance is not a waiver of any other part or any other instance. You are not permitted to assign this agreement or any of your rights or duties under it. Notices are considered delivered when either party sends them by email or fax to the email address or fax number provided by the other party or 3 days after mailing by first-class mail, return receipt requested, to the most recent address provided by the other party. If any part of this Agreement, including any part of its arbitration provisions, is held invalid for any reason, the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired. You agree not to sell or otherwise transfer the online learning platform account password or any Materials. This Agreement and the documents to which it refers form the entire agreement between us on their subjects. You may not rely on any other documents or statements on those subjects by any sales or service representatives. This Agreement is not for the benefit of any third party. You represent that you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to accept this Agreement.
