This user agreement (“agreement”) is a contract between you and The Doctor Trainer LLC, and applies to your subscription to and use of products and services available through www.thedoctortrainer.com (collectively the “services”). Your access to and use of the Service is conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Service.
By accessing or using the Service you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of the terms, then you may not access the Service.
User Agreement
You must read, agree with, and accept all of the terms and conditions contained in this agreement before you become a subscriber to and user of The Doctor Trainer services.
We may amend this agreement at any time by posting the amended terms on our site www.thedoctortrainer.com (the “site” or “the site”). Except as stated below, all amended terms shall be effective 30 days after they are initially posted on our site. Upcoming changes will also be posted on this page.
In this agreement, “you” or “your” or “users” means any person or entity subscribing to and/or using the service (“users”). Unless otherwise stated, “The Doctor Trainer,” “we,” or “our” will collectively refer to The Doctor Trainer LLC.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING USE, CONDITIONS, AND DISCLAIMERS IN THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE SUBSCRIBING TO OUR MATERIAL. AGREEING TO THE TERMS OF USE INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING:
License
In consideration of and subject to your payment of the appropriate subscription fee for the services you subscribe to, and your agreement to and compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement, The Doctor Trainer grants to you a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable license, and right to use and access The Doctor Trainer content (the “licensed materials”) from multiple places/locations/computers at different times. You are not allowed to access The Doctor Trainer content from multiple places/locations/computers at the same time.
System Requirements
You must use a The Doctor Trainer recommended version of an operating system, Internet browser, and any other required software to access the licensed materials.
Access to Course Content
You shall be allowed to use the licensed materials for the specific course(s) and matter to which you have subscribed. Each course has its own subscription fees and course duration. You are not allowed to access the content of courses that you have not subscribed to (e.g., subscribing to ACT Advantage does not mean that you will have access to other materials like SAT Advantage).
Order
Most of the information collected in the registration process will be used to process orders. During the order process, you will have to provide financial information such as your credit/debit card number, expiration date, CVV2 code, payee name, and billing address. This information is used for billing purposes and to fulfill your order. To properly process your credit/debit card information, we must share your personal and financial information with the merchant bank for authorization and approval. This process is protected by an enhanced security system. We do not share your personal and financial information with any third parties, except those specified in our Privacy Policy.
When you attempt a transaction on our website, the card processor verifies available funds by placing a hold, or pending charge, on the amount of the intended transaction against your card. The card processor then confirms the accuracy of your remaining information (e.g., your address, CVV2 Code, expiration date, etc.) before processing the transaction. If you enter an incorrect address or other associated detail, then the transaction is declined. This is NOT a situation unique with this website, but it is how virtually all online transactions are handled. Typically, it takes the card issuing bank 2-5 days to clear associated pending charges resulting from failed/declined attempts.
We charge for each successful transaction attempt and provide a confirmation of such on our website and send a confirmation email to the registered email address upon each successful transaction on our website. You can also log in to your account on our website and click on the “Payments” section to retrieve a copy of your payment receipt(s).
Disclaimer and Refunds
We do not offer refunds for our Services. All purchases are digital products and services and are final. By purchasing products and services, you are agreeing to our no-refund policy. The Service is provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. The Service is provided without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or course of performance.
Member Account/Password and Security
You must complete The Doctor Trainer registration process in order to subscribe to and use the services by providing us with current, complete, and accurate information as prompted by the applicable registration form. You shall be responsible for the accuracy of the data provided and may update your profile data in order to reflect the most accurate current information. You will also choose a password and a user name. You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account and for any and all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify The Doctor Trainer immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security. The Doctor Trainer will not be liable for any loss that you may incur as a result of someone else using your password or account, either with or without your knowledge. However, you could be held liable for losses incurred by The Doctor Trainer or another party due to someone else using your account or password.

The licensed materials, including all intellectual property rights within the licensed materials (such as copyright), are the sole and exclusive property of The Doctor Trainer. By indicating that you accept these terms, you do not become the owner of the licensed materials but are entitled to use them according to the terms of this agreement.

Upon termination or cancellation of your subscription with The Doctor Trainer, your associated data, including any processed output data, will be promptly deleted from our systems. It is your responsibility to ensure any data you wish to retain is properly backed up or saved elsewhere before cancelling your subscription.
Please note that The Doctor Trainer cannot recover data once it has been deleted following the termination or cancellation of a subscription.
