COURSE EXPIRATION, ON DEMAND CREDITS, LIVE WEBINAR CREDITS, ON DEMAND 3 and 12 MONTH UNLIMITED SUBSCRIPTION PLANS, COURSE COMPLETION, REVIEW & EXPIRATION, CERTIFICATES OF COMPLETION & CERTIFICATE DATES
All Courses Expire
Courses are only good for credit for a set period of time. This can range from less than one year to five years depending on your state's rules. We do not guarantee that you can take any course you sign up for since all courses eventually expire. You must get a certificate before the course expires if you want credit for that course. If you don't take a course and get a certificate before it expires you will get credited to your online account so that you can take a different course.
On Demand versus Live Webinar Credits
On Demand credits are used for online on demand courses and can not be used to add Live Webinars to your account. Only Live Webinar Credits can be used to add Live Webinars to your account.
On Demand and Live Webinar Regular Credits
On Demand and Live Webinar Credits purchased from a course, state bundle, or custom bundle expire after seven years on Attorney Credits. If you have credits for unused courses in your account they will expire after seven years. On Demand Credits can be used at any time to add online courses and Live Webinar Credits can be used at any time to add live webinar courses. Please note that courses do expire see below.
On Demand 3 Month, 12 Month, and Lifetime Unlimited Subscription Plans
On Demand three month and 12 month unlimited subscription plan credits are valid for 90 days or 365 days from date of purchase regardless of whether they are used or not for on demand courses only. Courses must be finished within 90 days or 365 days of the purchase. After 90 days or 365 days you will lose access to any courses you have added to your account, lose the ability to complete any courses previously added to your account, and incomplete courses and material regardless of if the courses were from a previous purchase or the unlimited purchase. Three month and 12 month subscription plans can be renewed. The Lifetime Unlimited Subscription Plan is valid for one user, for your lifetime only, and will not be transferred to another user.
Unlimited Subscription Plans Do Not Include State Reporting Fees
Some states charge us reporting fees when we report your completed courses. We collect this fee for the following states: Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Tennessee and Utah. However, in some states such as Indiana, Mississippi, and North Carolina the attorneys are responsible for paying these fees directly to their state when obtained through our site. State fees are subject to change without notice if a state changes their fee or adds a fee. You will be charged the current rate for your states.
Lifetime Unlimited Subscription Plan Limitations
The Lifetime Unlimited Subscription Plan includes access to all of our on-demand courses and any future on-demand courses offered for your states. The Lifetime Unlimited Subscription Plan may be terminated if Attorney Credits is purchased by another entity, Attorney Credits no longer exists, or if Attorney Credits no longer sells or offers CLE. If any of these events happens within the first five years of your initial purchase and Attorney Credits or the entity that purchases Attorney Credits no longer offers CLE or Lifetime Unlimited Subscription Plans, you will be refunded the pro-rated amount to your credit card based on the one year subscription plan rate not to exceed the total amount you paid for the Lifetime Unlimited Subscription Plan.
Course Completion, Credit Usage, Review & Expiration
There is a three year limit for completing a course or using your credits from a course, state bundle, or custom bundle purchase.
Unlimited Plan purchases are limited to completing courses before their plan time expires. Once you complete your course, which is defined as obtaining your certificate of completion, our system will allow you 365 days to go back and review the course and written materials. After these 365 days, you will lose access to the course.
All courses eventually expire based on state rules. You will be removed from a on demand course if it expires and your online account will be credited. You will also be removed from a Live Webinar if you don't obtain a certificate of completion the same day as the Live Webinar. You can use these On Demand and Live Webinar credits to add other courses to your account. If you ordered an USB bundle and a course expires before you complete it, credits are automatically added to your account. We will not ship additional USB thumb drives. You can use these credits to add courses from our online on demand course catalog.
Certificates of Completion & Certificate Dates
You will be able to download or email your certificate of completion upon completing each individual course. A course is considered completed once you have viewed or listened to a course in its entirety, you have fulfilled your state verification method, and you have submitted the online evaluation form. You are responsible for fully completing each course and obtaining the Certificate before your CLE compliance deadline. Certificates of Completion will not be backdated for any reason. The date on your course completion certificate is the date you click Get Certificate and obtain your certificate. The date and time are based on Pacific Time. Please be aware if you do not click Get Certificate and obtain your certificate on the date you finish your course, the date on your certificate will be the date you actually click these buttons and obtain the certificate on our site. For example: You listen to a CD or watch a download course on January 1, but you don't log in to the site and obtain your certificate until January 5, the date on your certificate will be January 5. The site does not allow for backdating of certificates.
If you are licensed in multiple jurisdictions you may be able to obtain multiple certificates of completion for various states by completing one single course. Please make sure that you have included all states that you are licensed to practice in when you create your Attorney Credits user account (or you can add additional states by editing your account on the User Info page). We are not responsible for issuing multiple certificates of completion for different states if you are not signed up for these states in your user account at the time of course completion, or if you didn't check the appropriate state boxes on the Enrolled Courses page. Some courses may also only be accredited in a limited number of states and you will not be eligible to receive multiple certificates of completion if the course is not accredited in the state you need. If you need additional state certificates, we may be able to add them for you if the course is approved in that state, however, we do not guarantee that we will be able to. If you took a course in a state with no verification required and the additional state requires verification we can not add the additional state certificates. We can only add additional state certificates if you completed the courses within the last 30 days and the course is/was still valid in the additional state. Late reporting fees of $25 per course may apply.
Some states require that we can verify you are taking a course. If your state requires this, we will prompt you when you stream our courses, or if you download a course there are embedded codes that you will need.
FREE TRIAL CONDITIONS
Free Trial
The seven day free trial is available to new customers only. If you make a new account to get a free trial, our system will not detect duplicate courses between accounts and we are not liable if you fail to get credit because you previously took a course. During the free trial you get full access to your courses however, certificates will not be issued until you upgrade to a paid account. If one or more of your states has state reporting fees, these fees will be added to your cart automatically as you add courses to your account. If you fail to upgrade your account before your free trial expires you lose access to all courses and any progress you have made on any course. Certificates for courses completed during the free trial will not be issued until you upgrade to a free account. Since certificates are not issued until you upgrade to a free trial, the certificate date for any course completed will reflect the actual date the certificate is issued and may not be the actual date you completed the course. For example, during the trial period you complete a course on day one of the trial, January 10th for example. You don't upgrade until January 16th, the date on the certificate will be January 16 and will not be backdated.
Mailing Certificates
As an add-on service, we will mail you your certificates. The cost to mail certificates is:
LATE REPORTING FEES
If you fail to enter your bar number, enter an improper bar number, not check off a state, or fail to have a state in your account and this causes us to either have to do a special report for you we may charge $25 per course to report. If we have to report your completed courses past your state's reporting deadline causing us to incur late reporting fees, you agree that we will charge you these fees before we report your credits. These fees may be $25 per course.
STATE FEES
Some states charge us reporting fees when we report your completed courses. We collect this fee for the following states: Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Tennessee and Utah. However, in some states such as Indiana, Mississippi, and North Carolina the attorneys are responsible for paying these fees directly to their state when obtained through our site. State fees are subject to change without notice if a state changes their fee. If a state adds or increases their state fee after your purchase, you will be required to pay the new state fee even though it was lower when you made your purchase.
CLOSED CAPTIONING
If you are hearing impaired, closed captioning is available on our streaming videos. All closed captions were transcribed by a third party system that provides highly accurate captioning. However, the captions should not be considered to be an authoritative record of the recording. Detailed outlines and written materials are also available for all courses as an additional resource if you are hearing impaired.
