Closing Your Account
You can close your account at any time for any reason, and we can too.
When your account is closed, all your information will be permanently deleted.

We may suspend our Service to you at any time, with or without cause. If we terminate your account without cause, we’ll refund a prorated portion of your monthly/or annual prepayment. We won’t refund or reimburse you if there’s cause, like a violation of these Terms.
If you have a free Individual Account and don’t log in for 6 or more months, we may treat your Account as “inactive” and permanently delete the Account and all the data associated with it.
Once terminated, we will make reasonable commercial efforts to permanently delete your account and all the data associated with it, including your Tests and Protocols from our Website. While this information may be temporarily retained in residual backups, we cannot recover your data once you have closed your account.
You are solely responsible for properly closing your Account by deleting your user account at any time at the bottom of the My Account page, which will also automatically delete all your data, and cancel any paid subscriptions.
Changes
If we need to change or update these Terms, we’ll let you know in writing, since they will immediately apply to your use of Video Learning Squad.
We may change any of the Terms by posting revised Terms of Service on our Website and/or by sending an email to the last email address you gave us. Unless you terminate your account within ten (10) days, the new Terms will be effective immediately and apply to any continued or new use of Video Learning Squad. We may change the Website, the Service, or any features of the Service at any time.
Username and Password
You are responsible for your username and password—do not share or lose them!
You’re responsible for keeping your account username and password confidential. You’re also responsible for any account that you have access to, whether or not you authorized the use. You’ll immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your accounts. We’re not responsible for any losses due to stolen or hacked passwords.
We don’t have access to your current password. You can change your password at any time under account settings. If you have forgotten your password, you can use the “forgot password” option on the login page to reset your password. If you have forgotten the email address you used to sign up, we will do our best to help, but cannot change the email address of an account or otherwise change access to an account.
Payment: Monthly and Annual Plans
You pay monthly or annually for the use of Video Learning Squad. Our charges for monthly/annual plans are posted on the pricing page of our Website and may be changed from time to time. Your membership price will not change if the Service price changes unless you cancel your membership and sign up again at a later date.

You must provide a valid credit card to use paid features of Video Learning Squad.
As long as you’re a User or have an outstanding balance with us, you’ll provide us with valid credit card information and authorize us to deduct the monthly or annual charges against that credit card. You’ll replace the information for any credit card that expires with information for a valid one. Anyone using a credit card represents and warrants that they are authorized to use that credit card, and that any and all charges may be billed to that credit card and won’t be rejected.
If we’re unable to process your credit card order, we’ll try to contact you by email. If we still cannot process your order, the platform will limit access to the programs, but will not delete your account. You will then need to upgrade with a valid credit card to restore access to paid features.
Payment: Trials
We offer trials to help you decide if Video Learning Squad is right for you. Trials do not require credit cards and you can cancel if you are not interested.
Payment: Refunds
Refunds are not available under most circumstances. That is why we offer free trials!
We’ll give you a refund if we stop providing our Service to you for a reason that’s not laid out in these Terms. You won’t be entitled to a refund from us under any other circumstances unless we determine that good cause exists.

If you wish to bring an action against Us for any act or omission relating to or arising from the Terms, Website, or Service, such action must be brought within one year from the date of the alleged conduct giving rise to the cause of action, or the shortest time permissible under state law. Failure to bring such action within such time shall bar all claims against Us for such act or omission.
Choice of Law
We’re in California and our local laws apply. The State of California’s laws, except for conflict of laws rules, will apply to any dispute related to these Terms or the Service.
ARBITRATION
(a) In the event of any claim or dispute between You and Us arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement (or the interpretation, breach, termination, or enforceability thereof), Website, or Service, such claim or dispute shall be exclusively and finally settled, adjudicated and determined by binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Service (“JAMS”) in effect at the time of the lawsuit, with no right to a court or jury trial (whether such rights exist or not), and no right to an appeal. The arbitration shall be venued in Orange County, California.
The arbitrator shall apply California case and statutory law in effect at the time of the arbitration. Judgment upon the written award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed, rendered and entered in any court of competent jurisdiction and shall have the full force and effect of a judgment of that court. All fees and costs of the arbitration shall be split by the parties unless inconsistent with the law. The arbitrator shall award the recovery of the legal fees and costs of the prevailing party, including the costs and fees of the arbitration, from the non-prevailing party. The provisions of the California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1280 et. seq., which pertain to depositions and discovery in arbitration proceedings, are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement and shall be applicable to the arbitration. In no event shall a claim be arbitrated that otherwise would be barred by the statute of limitations in a judicial proceeding under the law governing this Agreement. Should any party refuse or fail to appear or participate in any arbitration proceeding, the Arbitrator hereby is empowered, authorized and instructed to decide all submitted controversies in accordance with whatever evidence is presented.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, the parties also agree that a restraining order, injunction, writ of possession, attachment or other equitable relief (collectively, “Extraordinary Relief’) may be applied for from a court of competent jurisdiction by any party pending the resolution of the dispute. The arbitration shall then proceed in regard to all other issues and matters, or the arbitration shall be stayed pending outcome of the Extraordinary Relief sought, in the discretion of the court or the arbitrator. Any such proceedings seeking such Extraordinary Relief shall be without prejudice to any party’s rights under this Agreement to obtain relief in arbitration with respect to such matters and shall not constitute a waiver of such party’s rights under this Paragraph.
Class Action Waiver
Any arbitration under these terms and conditions will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class/representative/collective actions are not permitted. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT A PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN EACH’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PUTATIVE CLASS, COLLECTIVE AND/ OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, SUCH AS IN THE FORM OF A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION AGAINST THE OTHER. Further, unless both You and We agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
Force Majeure
We’ll do our best to keep Video Learning Squad running 24/7, but some outage events are beyond our control.
We won’t be held liable for any delays or failure in performance of any part of the Service, from any cause beyond our control. This includes, but is not limited to, acts of God, changes to law or regulations, embargoes, war, terrorist acts, riots, fires, earthquakes, nuclear accidents, apocalypse, floods, strikes, power blackouts, volcanic action, unusually severe weather conditions, and acts of hackers or third-party internet service providers.

Even if this Agreement is terminated, the following sections will continue to apply: Our Rights, Your Rights, Compliance with Laws, Limitation of Liability, No Warranties, Indemnity, Choice of Law, Arbitration and Class Action Waiver, Severability, and Entire Agreement.
