11. Subscriber Agreement and Subscription Terms

11.1 Subscription Access. The Site may offer paid subscription plans that provide access to selected publications, articles, educational materials, live programs, recorded content, continuing professional education (“CPE”) offerings, and other subscriber benefits. The specific benefits available to a subscriber may depend on the subscription plan, program schedule, publication schedule, and content made available by the Site from time to time.

11.2 CPE Offerings Included in Subscription. Eligible CPE courses, sessions, articles, or programs may be included as part of a paid Site subscription. Unless expressly stated otherwise, these CPE offerings are included as subscription benefits and are not separately purchased by the subscriber.

11.3 No Guarantee of CPE Credit by Subscription Alone. Subscription to Site does not, by itself, entitle a subscriber to CPE credit. CPE credit is awarded only when the subscriber satisfies all applicable requirements for the specific program, including registration, attendance, monitoring, participation, completion, evaluation, review question, or other requirements established by the Site or applicable CPE standards.

11.4 Subscriber Responsibility for CPE Eligibility. Each subscriber is responsible for determining whether a Site CPE offering satisfies the requirements of the subscriber’s state board of accountancy, licensing authority, employer, professional organization, or other applicable body. The Site may provide certificates of completion or other documentation where appropriate, but the subscriber remains responsible for maintaining CPE records and confirming the acceptability of any claimed credit.

11.5 Registration, Attendance, and Participation. Access to CPE offerings may require advance registration, even when the offering is included in the subscription. To receive CPE credit, the subscriber must attend and participate in the manner required for the program. Failure to satisfy applicable requirements may result in no CPE credit being awarded.

11.6 Cancellation or Rescheduling of CPE Offerings. The Site may cancel, postpone, or reschedule any CPE offering for operational or business reasons, including low registration, presenter availability, technical issues, emergency circumstances, scheduling conflicts, or other reasons. If the Site cancels or reschedules a CPE offering, subscribers may be offered access to the rescheduled offering or another eligible CPE offering, subject to availability.

11.7 No Refund for Missed or Cancelled Individual CPE Offerings. Because CPE offerings are included as part of the subscription and are not separately purchased, cancellation or rescheduling of an individual CPE offering, or a subscriber’s failure to attend or complete an individual CPE offering, does not entitle the subscriber to a refund, credit, or extension of the subscription term, unless expressly required by law or separately agreed in writing.

11.8 Subscription Fees and Renewal. Subscription fees, billing periods, renewal terms, and payment procedures are described on the applicable order page, checkout page, invoice, or written agreement. Unless otherwise stated, subscription fees are charged in advance and are nonrefundable once the subscription period begins. If automatic renewal applies, the subscription will renew according to the terms disclosed at the time of purchase unless canceled in accordance with the Site’s cancellation procedures.

11.9 Subscription Cancellation. A subscriber may cancel the subscription according to the Site’s stated cancellation process. Unless otherwise stated, cancellation stops future renewal charges but does not provide a refund for the current subscription period. Cancellation of registration for an individual CPE offering does not cancel the subscriber’s Site subscription.

11.10 Changes to Subscriber Benefits. The Site may add, modify, suspend, substitute, or remove subscriber benefits, including publications, articles, program topics, presenters, schedules, formats, recordings, or CPE offerings, at any time. The Site does not guarantee the availability of any particular article, author, presenter, course, topic, session, recording, or CPE program.

11.11 Personal Use and Access Restrictions. A Site subscription is for the individual subscriber’s personal professional use only, unless a separate written agreement provides otherwise. Subscribers may not share login credentials, transfer subscription access, permit another person to attend under their registration, distribute subscriber-only materials, reproduce protected content, or allow another person to claim CPE credit through their subscription.

11.12 Relationship to Other Terms. These Subscriber Agreement and Subscription Terms are part of these Terms and Conditions. In the event of a conflict between this Section 11 and another provision of these Terms and Conditions regarding subscription benefits or included CPE offerings, this Section 11 will control unless a separate written agreement states otherwise.
