Access to Service
The Service is only available to current members of CHART Healthcare Academy ("CHA") or paid subscribers by logging in to the Service using your username and password (collectively "User ID").

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your User ID and all activities that occur under your User ID. You agree to immediately notify CHA admin at admin@charthealthcareacademy.com in the event that (i) your User ID is lost or stolen, or (ii) you become aware of any unauthorized use of your User ID or of any other breach of security that might affect the Site. CHA is in no way liable for any claims or losses of any kind related to the use or misuse of your User ID due to the activities of third-parties outside of CHA's control or due to your failure to maintain the confidentiality and security of your User ID.

Fees and Payments
Access to the standard membership Service is free for current CHA members.
For GROW members, CHA may charge subscription or other fees, including applicable taxes, if any (collectively, "Subscription Fees"). As applicable, you agree to pay all Subscription Fees incurred in connection with your User ID which are not paid by an organization or agent on your behalf ("Sponsoring Organization") at the rates in effect when the charges were incurred.
All charges incurred in connection with your User Name ID will be billed to the credit card you designate. CHA may change the Subscription Fees then in effect, or add new charges, at any time by giving you notice in advance by e-mail or postings on the Site. The fee options available to you will be presented within the Service. In order to continue your access, you will need to select one of the available new fee options. If you do not select one of these options, your access to the Service will be terminated at the end of the term then in effect.
CHA is not responsible for any charges associated with connecting to the Site or incurred to access the Service, including without limitation all internet or wifi access lines (including data charges, when applicable), telephone, computer and other equipment charges, and fees charged by an Internet access provider or other third-party service for your use of the Service.
CHA will contact you regarding renewal of your subscription. The renewal charge will be the current published rates for the term of your subscription. In the event that you do not renew your subscription prior to the expiration date of your subscription, CHA reserves the right to terminate your access to the Service.
For purposes of identification and billing, you agree to provide CHA with accurate, complete, and updated information required by the Service subscription registration ("Registration Data"), including your name, address, and applicable payment data (e.g., credit card number, e-mail address, and expiration date). You are responsible for determining whether your Registration Data is current and accurate, and, if not, to correct or update your Registration Data. Failure to comply with this provision (including without limitation falsification of any Registration Data) may, at CHA's option, result in immediate suspension or termination of your right to use the Service.
CHA agrees to keep confidential all personally identifiable information, including Registration Data, that you provide to CHA in order to access and use the Service.
You agree to promptly update your Registration Data in the event of any known or suspected unauthorized use of your subscription, or any known or suspected breach of security, including loss, theft, or unauthorized disclosure of your User ID. In the event of a breach of security, you will remain liable for any unauthorized use of your subscription until you update your Registration Data. If your subscription is subject to use without your authorization, follow subscription help instructions to update your Registration Data.
Term and Termination
Your access to the Service will continue until one of the following occurs:
a. GROW membership ends and you have not chosen to subscribe to the Service;
b. your subscription expires without being renewed or is canceled by CHA or by you for any reason; or
c. CHA discontinues the Service.
You may cancel your access to the Service at any time by notifying CHA by electronic mail at admin@charthealthcareacademy.com via means provided within the Service. Annual subscribers who elect to cancel will receive a pro-rata refund that will cover the unused months of your subscription (partial months will not be refunded) from the date in which CHA receives your notice of cancellation. Cancellations by monthly subscribers will take effect on your next monthly subscription anniversary date, which is the day-of-the-month on which you subscribed, but no refund will be given. Any pro-rata amounts will be credited to the credit card to which your subscription is charged. There is no pro-rata refund if your subscription is paid on your behalf by a Sponsoring Organization.
CHA may terminate your access and/or Service subscription at any time. If you are a Service subscriber and CHA terminates your access and/or Service subscription because CHA has reason to believe that you have violated any of the terms of this Agreement, you will not be credited with a refund. Under all other scenarios in which CHA terminates, including if CHA discontinues the Service, you will be credited for the remainder of your subscription in accordance with the terms of the preceding paragraph.
You agree that any termination of your access to the Site or Service shall not result in any liability or other obligation of CHA to you, your agent, or any third party in connection with such termination.
Limitation of Liability
YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT CHA SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA LOSS, OR OTHER LOSSES (EVEN IF CHA HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES) RESULTING FROM: (i) THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE AND/OR SITE, (ii) THE COST OF ANY SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES RESULTING FROM ANY PRODUCTS, DATA, INFORMATION OR SERVICES OBTAINED OR WHICH YOU WERE UNABLE TO OBTAIN OR TRANSACTIONS EFFECTED OR FAILED TO BE EFFECTED, (iii) THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE ANY THIRD PARTY APPLICATIONS CONTAINED WITHIN THE SERVICE, OR (iv) ANY MATTER OTHERWISE RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE.
