You agree that, before initiating any chargeback, payment dispute, or claim of unauthorized use with any bank, card issuer, payment processor, or card network (including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Apple, or Google) (each, a "Chargeback"), you will first contact Classward customer support at support@classward.com and provide us with no fewer than fifteen (15) days to investigate and respond to your concern. This pre-dispute resolution obligation is a material term of this Agreement and is intended to enable Classward to address legitimate billing issues directly with you, often faster and with better outcomes than the chargeback process.
21.1 Acknowledgment
You expressly acknowledge that:

- Classward provides a Refund and Cancellation Policy that addresses common billing concerns, including duplicate charges, accidental purchases, and good-faith refund requests;
- Classward maintains records of your account activity, login history, course completions, certificate issuance, CAPCE, NABP, CDPH and other official record submissions, and other usage data, which may be provided to a card issuer, payment processor, or card network as evidence of authorized use and delivery of Services; and
- Failure to use these resources before initiating a Chargeback constitutes a material breach of this Agreement.
21.2 Improper Chargebacks
A Chargeback is "Improper" if any of the following is true:
- You did not first contact Classward at support@classward.com and allow at least fifteen (15) days for response before initiating the Chargeback;
- The Chargeback alleges that the charge was unauthorized or fraudulent, but the account was created using your information, accessed using credentials associated with you, used to access Site Materials, or used to issue any course completion certificate or CAPCE/NABP/CDPH submission in your name or in the name of any person you authorized;
- The Chargeback alleges that you did not receive the product or service, but the records of the account show that the corresponding Services were delivered (including without limitation login activity, course progress, certificate issuance, or CAPCE/NABP/CDPH submission);
- The Chargeback alleges that the subscription was canceled, but Classward's records (including the records maintained by our payment processor) do not show any cancellation event prior to the disputed charge;
- The Chargeback is contradicted by your prior course of dealing or your express acknowledgment of the charge; or
- The Chargeback would, if successful, constitute a windfall to you in violation of the principles of restitution or unjust enrichment.
21.3 Consequences of Improper Chargebacks
If you initiate an Improper Chargeback, you agree that:
- Material Breach. The Chargeback constitutes a material breach of this Agreement, entitling Classward to all available legal and equitable remedies.
- Account Termination. Classward may immediately suspend or terminate your account and all of your Classward accounts, revoke access to all Services, archive or invalidate any course completion records, and notify CAPCE/NABP/CDPH or other accrediting bodies of the cessation of credit. Course completion certificates and CAPCE-reported, NABP-reported, or CDPH-reported credits associated with the disputed payment may be reversed or invalidated.
- Liability for Costs. You shall be liable to Classward for: (i) the full disputed amount; (ii) all chargeback fees, processor fees, and bank fees incurred by Classward in connection with the Chargeback (typically $15-$25 per Chargeback, plus any related card-network fees); (iii) the reasonable cost of staff time to compile and submit a representment package, calculated at a rate of $75 per hour with a minimum of one hour; (iv) reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in collecting any of the foregoing; and (v) interest on the foregoing at the maximum rate permitted by Oregon law from the date of the Chargeback until paid.
- Bar to Future Use. Classward may permanently bar you from creating any future account on any Classward Service.
- Reporting. Classward may report the Chargeback to consumer-reporting agencies, collection agencies, and merchant-fraud-prevention services to the extent permitted by law.
21.4 Evidence
In any Chargeback proceeding, you authorize Classward to disclose to the relevant bank, card issuer, payment processor, or card network the following information for the purpose of demonstrating authorized use and delivery of Services: account creation date and IP address; ToS, Privacy Policy, and Membership Agreement versions accepted (with timestamp and IP address); login history; activity logs; course progress and completion records; certificate-issuance records; CAPCE/NABP/CDPH submission records; payment history; cancellation activity (or absence thereof); and email correspondence between you and Classward. You consent to such disclosure as a necessary incident of the Chargeback process and waive any privacy claim arising from such disclosure.
22. Mandatory Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU AND CLASSWARD TO RESOLVE DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW. IT ALSO LIMITS THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO YOU IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION BY FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURE IN SECTION 22.9.
22.1 Agreement to Arbitrate
You and Classward agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Services, the Site Materials, the Privacy Policy, the Membership Agreement, the Refund and Cancellation Policy, your account, any purchase or attempted purchase, or any other relationship between you and Classward (each, a "Dispute") shall be resolved exclusively by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect (the "AAA Consumer Rules"), as modified by this Agreement, except as provided in Sections 22.6, 22.7, and 22.9.
22.2 Informal Dispute Resolution
Before initiating any arbitration, you and Classward agree to first attempt to resolve any Dispute informally. If you have a Dispute, you must send a written "Notice of Dispute" to Classward at the address in Section 19, with a copy to support@classward.com, that includes: (a) your name, account email, and contact information; (b) a description of the Dispute, including the relevant facts, dates, and documents; and (c) the relief you are seeking. Classward will send any Notice of Dispute to you at the email or postal address associated with your account. The party initiating the Dispute must engage in a good-faith negotiation process for a period of sixty (60) days following receipt of the Notice of Dispute, including a telephonic or video meeting upon reasonable request, before commencing any arbitration. Compliance with this Section 22.2 is a condition precedent to commencing arbitration, and any statute of limitations or fee deadline shall be tolled during the 60-day informal-dispute-resolution period.
22.3 Arbitration Procedure
To begin arbitration after the informal-dispute-resolution period, you must follow the procedure set forth in the AAA Consumer Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator selected in accordance with the AAA Consumer Rules. The arbitration will be conducted in English. If the value of the relief sought is $25,000 or less, the arbitration will be conducted by telephone or videoconference, on the basis of written submissions, unless either party requests an in-person hearing. Any in-person hearing will be held in Lane County, Oregon, or such other location as the parties agree. The arbitrator's decision will follow this Agreement and will be final and binding, except for a limited right of review under the Federal Arbitration Act. Judgment on the arbitrator's award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
22.4 Arbitration Fees
Arbitration fees and costs will be allocated in accordance with the AAA Consumer Rules. Classward will pay any portion of the AAA filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees that exceeds the fees you would have paid to file the same claim in a state or federal court of general jurisdiction in Oregon. Each party will bear its own attorneys' fees and costs except as otherwise provided by law or by an order of the arbitrator.
22.5 Class Action Waiver
YOU AND CLASSWARD AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, MASS, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE NON-WAIVABLE LAW). UNLESS BOTH YOU AND CLASSWARD AGREE OTHERWISE IN A SIGNED WRITING, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF WARRANTED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM.
22.6 Mass Arbitration Protocol
If, at any time, twenty-five (25) or more similar claims are filed or threatened to be filed against Classward by or with the assistance, coordination, or representation of the same law firm, group of coordinated law firms, organization, or coordinated group of claimants (a "Coordinated Filing"), then the following protocol shall apply, notwithstanding any contrary provision of the AAA Consumer Rules:
- Bellwether Procedure. The first ten (10) claims (selected five (5) by claimants' counsel and five (5) by Classward) shall be designated as "bellwether" arbitrations and shall proceed individually. The remaining claims shall be stayed, and any applicable statute of limitations or fee deadline for the stayed claims shall be tolled, until the bellwether arbitrations are concluded.
- Mediation Following Bellwethers. Following the conclusion of the bellwether arbitrations, the parties shall participate in a single global mediation, lasting no fewer than one (1) full day, before a mediator mutually agreed upon (or, if the parties cannot agree, appointed by AAA) to attempt to resolve all remaining claims.
- Sequenced Filing Fees. Classward's obligation to pay AAA filing fees for stayed claims shall not arise until the conclusion of the bellwether process and the global mediation. If the global mediation does not result in a global resolution, the parties shall confer in good faith on a process for the orderly arbitration of the remaining claims, including procedures for sequencing claims and for further bellwether or mediation phases.
- Severability. If any portion of this Section 22.6 is found unenforceable by a court or arbitrator, the remainder shall remain in full force and effect, and the unenforceable portion shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to render it enforceable.
22.7 Exceptions to Arbitration
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Disputes are not subject to mandatory arbitration: (a) any Dispute that may be brought in a small-claims court located in your county of residence or in Lane County, Oregon, so long as the Dispute remains in small-claims court and is brought only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis; (b) any Dispute concerning the validity, infringement, or enforcement of either party's intellectual property rights; (c) any application by either party for emergency injunctive or equitable relief to prevent or stop irreparable harm pending arbitration; and (d) any Dispute that, by applicable non-waivable law, cannot be subject to mandatory pre-dispute arbitration.
22.8 Severability of Arbitration Provisions
If any portion of this Section 22 is found unenforceable, that portion shall be severed and the remainder of this Section 22 shall remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that if the Class Action Waiver in Section 22.5 is found unenforceable as to any particular claim or remedy (other than in a small-claims action permitted by Section 22.7), then that claim or remedy (and only that claim or remedy) shall be severed from arbitration and brought in court, and the remainder of Section 22 shall remain in full force and effect with respect to all other claims and remedies.
22.9 30-Day Right to Opt Out
You have the right to opt out of this Section 22 ("Mandatory Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver") by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to Classward at the following address: Classward, LLC, 33848 SE Eastgate Cir, Corvallis, OR 97333, Attention: Arbitration Opt-Out, and by sending a copy of the notice by email to support@classward.com, in each case with the subject line or first line stating "Arbitration Opt-Out." The notice must include: (a) your full legal name; (b) the email address associated with your account; (c) your postal address; (d) the date you first accepted this Agreement (or, if unknown, your best estimate); and (e) a clear statement that you wish to opt out of the arbitration provision in Section 22 of the Classward Terms and Conditions. Your notice must be postmarked and emailed no later than thirty (30) days after the date you first accepted this Agreement (or, for users who accepted a prior version of these Terms before May 21st, 2026, no later than thirty (30) days after the date you first accepted this Agreement. A timely and complete opt-out will exempt you from Section 22 only; all other provisions of this Agreement, including the Class Action Waiver in Section 22.5, the venue and jury-trial provisions in Sections 23 and 24, and all other terms, will continue to apply, except that disputes that would otherwise have been arbitrated will instead be litigated in the courts identified in Section 23. Opting out of arbitration will not affect any other agreement you have with Classward or any account or service in any way.
23. Governing Law and Venue
This Agreement and any Dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Services, or your relationship with Classward shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Oregon, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq., governs the interpretation and enforcement of Section 22. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement.
For any Dispute that is not subject to arbitration under Section 22 (whether because it falls within an exception, because you have validly opted out, or for any other reason), or for any action to compel arbitration or enforce an arbitration award, the parties agree that the exclusive venue and jurisdiction shall be the state and federal courts located in Lane County, Oregon, and you and Classward consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and waive any objection based on inconvenient forum.
24. Jury Trial Waiver
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND CLASSWARD IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES, OR YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH CLASSWARD. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO ANY DISPUTE THAT IS NOT SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION UNDER SECTION 22, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DISPUTES BROUGHT IN SMALL-CLAIMS COURT (WHERE JURY TRIALS ARE TYPICALLY NOT AVAILABLE IN ANY EVENT) AND DISPUTES BROUGHT IN ANY COURT FOLLOWING AN OPT-OUT UNDER SECTION 22.9 OR A FINDING THAT SECTION 22 IS UNENFORCEABLE AS TO A PARTICULAR CLAIM.
25. General Provisions
25.1 Entire Agreement
This Agreement, together with the Privacy Policy, the Membership Agreement, and the Refund and Cancellation Policy, constitutes the entire agreement between you and Classward concerning the Services and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, representations, and communications, whether written or oral, on the subject matter hereof.
25.2 Severability
If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be severed and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and the unenforceable provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to render it enforceable while preserving the original intent of the parties to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
25.3 No Waiver
No failure or delay by either party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of that right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise of that right or remedy or the exercise of any other right or remedy. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by the waiving party.
25.4 Assignment
You may not assign or transfer this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without Classward's prior written consent. Any attempted assignment or transfer in violation of this Section is null and void. Classward may freely assign or transfer this Agreement, in whole or in part, without notice or consent, including in connection with any merger, acquisition, sale of assets, reorganization, or by operation of law. This Agreement is binding on and inures to the benefit of the parties and their permitted successors and assigns.
25.5 Force Majeure
Classward shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance arising from causes beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, fires, floods, earthquakes, civil unrest, war, terrorism, governmental actions, labor disturbances, internet or telecommunications failures, denial-of-service attacks, or third-party service provider failures.
25.6 No Third-Party Beneficiaries
Except as expressly provided in Section 5.2 with respect to Apple, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of you and Classward and confers no rights upon any third party.
25.7 Relationship of the Parties
Nothing in this Agreement creates any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales-representative, or employment relationship between you and Classward. You have no authority to bind Classward in any way.
25.8 Headings; Construction
Section headings are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. The words "include," "includes," and "including" shall be construed as if followed by the words "without limitation." Each party acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to consult with counsel of its choice and that any ambiguity in this Agreement shall not be construed against either party.
25.9 Governmental Use
If you are accessing the Services on behalf of any United States government entity, the Services are "Commercial Items" as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. § 2.101, consisting of "Commercial Computer Software" and "Commercial Computer Software Documentation" as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. § 12.212. Use, duplication, or disclosure by the U.S. government is subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

REFUND AND CANCELLATION POLICY
Classward, LLC | Effective Date: May 21st, 2026
This Refund and Cancellation Policy ("Policy") governs the cancellation of memberships and refund eligibility for purchases of products and services (collectively, "Memberships") sold by Classward, LLC ("Classward," "we," "us," or "our") through any Classward brand or property, including EMTprep, EMT-CE, PharmRenew, PharmTechReview, PhlebCE, PhlebReview, CPRreview, MArenew, CMAreview, and EKGce (each, a "Service"). This Policy is incorporated into, and forms part of, the Terms and Conditions Agreement and the Membership Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Policy have the meanings given to them in the Terms and Conditions or Membership Agreement.
By purchasing any Membership, you agree to be bound by this Policy in the form effective at the time of your purchase.
1. How to Cancel
1.1 Self-Service Cancellation of Auto-Renewing Memberships
Auto-Renewing Memberships (such as EMTprep monthly and quarterly subscriptions) can be canceled at any time through the self-service customer portal accessible from your account dashboard. To cancel:
1. Log in to your account on the applicable Service.
2. Locate the "Manage Subscription" link on your dashboard.
3. Click the link to open the secure customer portal (powered by Stripe).
4. Select "Cancel Subscription" and confirm.
Cancellation through the customer portal is available twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, takes effect immediately on auto-renewal, and requires no human intervention or gatekeeping. Upon cancellation, you will receive an email confirmation, and your account dashboard will reflect that auto-renewal has been turned off and that your access continues through the end of the then-current billing period.
1.2 Cancellation by Email
You may also cancel an Auto-Renewing Membership by emailing support@classward.com from the email address associated with your account, with the subject line "Cancel Subscription." Email cancellations are processed during business hours and may not be effective immediately upon receipt. We strongly recommend the self-service portal because it provides immediate, dated, automatically logged confirmation.
1.3 In-App Purchase Cancellation
Auto-Renewing Memberships purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store cannot be canceled by Classward; they must be canceled through your Apple ID or Google account subscription settings. Please refer to Apple's or Google's instructions for managing in-app subscriptions.
1.4 Effect of Cancellation
Upon timely cancellation of an Auto-Renewing Membership:
• Your auto-renewal is immediately turned off, and you will not be charged on the next renewal date.
• You retain access to the Service through the end of the billing period for which you have already paid. For example, if you cancel a monthly Membership on the 10th and your billing date is the 20th, you will retain access through the 20th.
• Cancellation alone does not entitle you to a refund of amounts already paid. Refund eligibility is governed by Section 2 of this Policy.
• Your account remains active for record-keeping purposes (including without limitation CAPCE compliance, completion certificates, and other regulatory records) unless you affirmatively request account deletion as described in the Privacy Policy.
1.5 No Cancellation of One-Time Purchase Memberships
One-Time Purchase Memberships (such as EMT-CE recertification packages and individual courses on PharmRenew, PharmTechReview, PhlebCE, PhlebReview, CPRreview, MArenew, CMAreview, and EKGce) do not auto-renew, and therefore there is nothing to "cancel." Refund eligibility for One-Time Purchase Memberships is governed by Section 2 of this Policy.
2. Refund Eligibility
Classward applies the following refund framework. Specific eligibility depends on the type of Membership, time elapsed since purchase, level of usage, and (for CE products) whether any CAPCE submission has occurred.
2.1 Refund Window for Auto-Renewing Memberships
(a) Initial Purchase or Most Recent Renewal — Within 7 Days, Minimal Usage
If you request a refund within seven (7) days of an initial purchase or of the most recent auto-renewal charge, and your usage of the Service in the relevant billing period has been minimal (defined as: no more than one (1) login session, no completed course modules or practice examinations, and no certificates issued), Classward will issue a full refund of the disputed charge to the original payment method, and your access to the Service will end as of the refund date.
(b) Within 30 Days, Pro-Rated Refund Where Eligible
If you request a refund between eight (8) and thirty (30) days after an initial purchase or most recent auto-renewal charge, and you have used the Service beyond minimal usage but have not exhausted its principal benefit (e.g., have not completed a CAPCE-reported course, generated a certificate, or completed a substantial portion of practice content), Classward may, in its discretion, issue a pro-rated refund based on the time elapsed and the value of any features used. A pro-rated refund is not guaranteed and is evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
(c) After 30 Days
Refunds are not generally available more than thirty (30) days after the charge in question. You may, however, cancel your Membership at any time as described in Section 1 to prevent further auto-renewal charges.
2.2 Refund Window for One-Time Purchase Memberships (CE and Course Bundles)
(a) Within 7 Days, No Course Activated
If you request a refund within seven (7) days of purchase and you have not activated, started, or completed any course or course module within the purchased package, Classward will issue a full refund.
(b) Partial Refund After Limited Course Activation
If you have activated, started, or completed a portion of the purchased package but have not exhausted its principal benefit, Classward may, in its discretion, issue a pro-rated refund equal to the purchase price minus the published list price of the activated, started, or completed courses. For example, if you purchased a recertification package for $199 and have completed two (2) self-paced courses with a published price of $8 each, a pro-rated refund of $199 − $16 = $183 may be available, subject to the further conditions of this Section 2.2.
(c) No Refund After CAPCE Reporting
Once a course completion has been reported to CAPCE, the corresponding credit is deemed delivered and is not eligible for refund. This is a fundamental and irrevocable consequence of accredited continuing education. Once CAPCE has received the report, the credit is associated with your continuing education record at CAPCE and the National Registry, where Classward has no authority to revoke or reverse it.
(d) After 30 Days
Refunds are not generally available more than thirty (30) days after the date of purchase, except as provided in Section 2.4 below.
2.3 Duplicate Charges
If you believe you have been charged twice for the same Membership in a single transaction or on the same calendar day, please contact support@classward.com promptly. Upon verification, Classward will refund the duplicate charge to the original payment method. Duplicate charges should be raised with Classward by email and not through the chargeback process. Most duplicate-charge issues are resolved within a few business days. Initiating a chargeback for a duplicate charge that could have been resolved by email may be deemed an Improper Chargeback under Section 21 of the Terms and Conditions, with the consequences set forth therein.
2.4 Discretionary Refunds
Classward may, in its sole and absolute discretion, issue refunds outside the timeframes, conditions, or amounts described in this Policy as a one-time goodwill gesture. Any such discretionary refund: (a) shall be non-precedential and shall not constitute a waiver, modification, or amendment of this Policy; (b) shall not give rise to any right or expectation of similar treatment in the future or by any other Member; and (c) shall not constitute an admission of liability, fault, or any failure to deliver the Services. Classward expressly reserves the right to decline any refund request that is not within the express criteria of this Policy.
3. Pre-Dispute Resolution Obligation
Before initiating any chargeback, payment dispute, or claim of unauthorized use with any bank, card issuer, payment processor, or card network, you must first contact Classward customer support at support@classward.com and provide us with at least fifteen (15) days to investigate and respond to your concern. This pre-dispute obligation is a material term of the Terms and Conditions (see Section 21 thereof) and is intended to enable Classward to resolve legitimate billing concerns directly with you, often faster and with better outcomes than the chargeback process.
If you skip this step and initiate a chargeback for a matter that could have been resolved by contacting customer support, the chargeback may be deemed an Improper Chargeback under Section 21 of the Terms and Conditions. The consequences of an Improper Chargeback include: immediate account termination, archival or invalidation of course completion records, notification to CAPCE of cessation of credit, liability for chargeback fees and reasonable representment costs, and a permanent bar from creating future accounts on any Classward Service.
4. How to Request a Refund
To request a refund within the windows described in Section 2:
- Send an email to support@classward.com from the email address associated with your account.
- Use the subject line "Refund Request" followed by the brand of the Service and the order or charge identifier (for example, "Refund Request — PhlebCE — Order #12345").
- Include in the body: (a) the date and amount of the charge; (b) the reason for your request; and (c) any relevant information about your usage of the Service.
- Allow up to five (5) business days for review and response. We may request additional information to verify identity, account ownership, or eligibility.
Approved refunds are processed to the original payment method. Depending on your card issuer, the refund may take an additional five (5) to ten (10) business days to appear on your statement after Classward has issued it.
5. Refunds for Apple App Store and Google Play Purchases
Classward is not the merchant of record for In-App Purchases made through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and cannot directly issue refunds for those purchases. Refund requests for In-App Purchase subscriptions or one-time purchases must be submitted directly to Apple or Google through their respective support channels.
• Apple App Store: Visit reportaproblem.apple.com or contact Apple Support to request a refund.
• Google Play: Visit play.google.com/store/account/subscriptions or contact Google Play Support to request a refund.
If Apple or Google denies your refund request, you may contact support@classward.com to discuss whether a discretionary refund or account credit may be available, but Classward is not obligated to issue refunds for In-App Purchases under this Policy.
6. Special Circumstances
6.1 Death or Long-Term Incapacity
In the event of a Member's death or documented long-term incapacity, Classward will work in good faith with a duly authorized representative of the Member to cancel any Auto-Renewing Membership and, where appropriate, to issue a pro-rated refund for any remaining unused portion of a paid period. Classward may require reasonable documentation, including a death certificate or court order establishing authority.
6.2 Service Discontinuation
If Classward discontinues a Service in its entirety in a manner that materially deprives you of the benefit of an active paid Membership, Classward will, at its option, either: (a) provide a substantially equivalent replacement Service; or (b) issue a pro-rated refund for the unused portion of the affected Membership. This Section 6.2 does not apply to routine modifications, suspensions, or discontinuations of individual features or content within a Service.
6.3 Confirmed Identity Fraud
If you believe a Membership was purchased without your authorization through identity fraud (i.e., the use of your personal or payment information by a third party without your consent and not by anyone authorized by you to use such information), please contact support@classward.com immediately so that we can investigate. Confirmed identity fraud, supported by documentation reasonably acceptable to Classward, will result in a full refund of unauthorized charges, account closure, and (where applicable) reporting to applicable accrediting bodies of the cessation of any credit issued under the fraudulent account.
7. No Stacking of Remedies
If Classward issues you a refund for any charge, in whole or in part, you agree not to also pursue, and you waive your right to pursue, any chargeback, claim of unauthorized use, or other dispute with any bank, card issuer, payment processor, or card network for the same charge. Pursuing duplicate remedies for the same charge constitutes an Improper Chargeback and a material breach of the Terms and Conditions.
8. Changes to This Policy
Classward may modify this Policy from time to time in accordance with Section 2 of the Terms and Conditions. Material changes will be notified to active Members by email at least thirty (30) days in advance and posted on the applicable Service with an updated effective date. Your purchase or maintenance of a Membership after the effective date of any modification constitutes your acceptance of the modified Policy. The Policy applicable to a particular charge is the version in effect at the time the charge was made.
