Enrollment Agreement

The Institute for Integrative Nutrition (“IIN”) and the above named student (“student” or “you”) (collectively, the “Parties”) hereby enter into this enrollment agreement (“Enrollment Agreement”) which sets forth the terms and conditions of your access to and use of (the “Program”) offered by IIN, including but not limited to, IIN’s websites and apps. By accepting this Enrollment Agreement, you agree to the terms set forth herein including the arbitration, class-action waiver, and limitation of liability provisions, and all other terms, rules, policies, regulations, and/or guidelines set forth therein. You also agree to the terms set forth in IIN’s Student Catalog and any other agreements between IIN and the student (together with the Enrollment Agreement, the “Agreements”).

The Course, Tuition, and Fees

  1. The total cost of the Course, as set forth in the table above, must be paid in full at the time of enrollment unless an alternative payment plan is offered by IIN and accepted by the student.  
  2. Tuition and fee charges are subject to change at the school’s discretion. Any tuition or fee increases will become effective for the school term following student notification of the increase.  All dollar amounts referenced herein are in U.S. dollars.   

Withdrawal and Refund Policy. Students can withdraw from the Course at any time by providing written notice to IIN.  Refunds will be made in accordance with the following:

    1. If you withdraw, IIN may keep five percent of the cash price, but not to exceed fifty dollars (non-refundable registration fee), and a pro rata portion of the tuition based upon the lessons or services you have used by your last day of attendance, defined as logging into an instructional module.
    2. IIN may receive or demand the cost of any ancillary goods which you have consumed or wish to retain after withdrawal. 
    3. All refunds will be made within thirty days following withdrawal and the refunded amounts shall be charged back to the credit card on file.

Late Payments and Non-Payments.  In the event that IIN permits a student to pay for tuition and fees on a payment plan, IIN imposes the following policies and fees:

    1. Late payments are subject to a late fee in the amount of $35.00.  All late fees are non-refundable.  
    2. A student who fails to make a timely payment is not in good financial standing until such late payment is cured and may, in IIN’s sole discretion, be suspended or withdrawn from the Course and/or have their outstanding payments accelerated.  IIN may refer a student to a collections agency if a payment is not received within sixty days of being due, and the student may be subject to costs and charges imposed by any such collection agency.  A student who fails to make any payment within forty-five days of enrollment in a Course may be withdrawn from the Course by IIN, in its sole discretion. 

Transfers.  While enrolled in the Course, Students may transfer from one class to another, except transfers are not permitted for the Coaching Intensive Practicum.  A transfer fee of $99 will be charged to a student for each such transfer.  If the Student, following withdrawal, enrolls in a later class than the one from which he or she withdrew, and then subsequently decides to withdraw from the later class, the refund policy will relate to the date and class in which the student used the most lessons or services.

Code of Conduct.  Students are required to comply with the Code of Conduct set forth in the Student Catalog.  IIN, in its sole discretion, may determine whether you have violated the Code of Conduct, in which case, IIN may suspend or withdraw you from the Course, or take other action as IIN deems necessary.

Good Academic Standing: Students who comply with the Code of Conduct and who satisfy all additional requirements set forth in the Agreements will be in Good Academic Standing and continue to have full access to the Course and any other resources or materials IIN may make available. Students who fail to comply with the Code of Conduct or any other requirements set forth in the Agreements will not be in Good Academic Standing and may be suspended or withdrawn from the Course, or subject to other disciplinary action, in IIN’s sole discretion.

Confidentiality: At times, students may be invited and encouraged to share personal and/or private information with others. You agree not to disclose this information to others. By sharing such information you acknowledge that IIN is not responsible for ensuring that others maintain the confidentiality of such information and you agree not to hold IIN liable or otherwise responsible for the disclosure of such information.

Non-Compete: You acknowledge that IIN has invested extensive resources into developing the Course. By enrolling in the Course, you gain access to confidential information that constitutes IIN’s proprietary materials and business methods. As a result, your use of this information to compete with IIN would be unfair and would violate IIN’s legitimate business interests. Accordingly, while enrolled in the Course and for a period of one (1) year from the completion date of the Course, you agree not to compete with IIN by providing the same or similar services as IIN provides, which include, but are not limited to, developing, designing, providing, marketing, or selling a course, curriculum, or materials relating to the subject matter of the Course (“Competitive Services”). Accordingly, you will not own an interest in, operate, serve as a director or officer for, and/or otherwise work (either as employee or independent contractor) for, a school or other organization that provides Competitive Services. You acknowledge and agree that these restrictions are reasonable and necessary to protect IIN’s legitimate interests, and that IIN would not have permitted you to enroll in the Course in the absence of your agreement to comply with such restrictions. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent the student from owning shares in a publicly-traded company that is registered on national exchanges or from coaching individual or group clients.

Non-Disparagement: You agree not to disparage IIN or any of its officers, directors, or employees. For purposes of this section, “disparage” shall mean any negative statement, whether oral or written, whether in print or electronic form, including, without limitation, on any Internet site or web application such as Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, chat forums, communities, and/or message boards. You acknowledge and agree that this provision is a material term of this Enrollment Agreement, and that IIN would not have permitted you to enroll in the Course in the absence of your agreement to comply with this provision. You further acknowledge that if it becomes necessary to commence legal action to ascertain your name from an anonymous post, you will be responsible for all legal and related fees and costs associated therewith.

Course Technology.  The Course will be made available online. The Student Catalog contains additional information regarding the technology requirements necessary to participate in the Course. Students are solely responsible for ensuring they have the appropriate hardware, software, Internet access, and/or other equipment necessary to participate in the Course.  IIN may provide you with limited technical support to access the Course, but in no event will such support include providing desktop computer troubleshooting (i.e., computer freezes, browser problems), assistance with third-party websites, or support with non-IIN products.

Intellectual Property.  

    1. You acknowledge and agree that the Course and any resources or materials relating to the Course, including all concepts, techniques, methods, handouts, materials and/or other information (collectively, the “Materials”) constitute the sole and exclusive property of IIN.

IIN reserves all ownership rights to the Course and Materials, including any copyrights, trade names, trademarks, trade dress, logos, or service marks therein. You agree not to reproduce, copy, duplicate, distribute, lend, sell, or otherwise transfer or disclose to any other individual or party, the Materials, without the express prior written consent of IIN, which such consent may be withheld in IIN’s sole and exclusive discretion.  You agree to comply with any instructions and limitations regarding use of the Materials contained herein or otherwise provided to you by IIN.

    3. IIN, in its sole discretion, may modify the Student IP License at any time, for any reason.  By accessing the Course and/or using any Materials you shall be deemed to have accepted any changes to the Student IP License.
    4. The Student IP License may be terminated if:
      1. IIN or Licensee provide notice of termination, at any time, for any reason;
      2. Licensee withdraws or is withdrawn or suspended from this Course or any other course offered by IIN or its affiliates;
      3. Licensee fails to remain in Good Financial or Academic Standing with respect to this Course or any other course offered by IIN or its affiliates;
      4. Licensee violates any provision of the Agreements or any other terms and conditions applicable to any products and services offered by IIN or its affiliates.
      5. Upon termination of the Student IP License, for any reason, Licensee shall immediately cease and desist from using any of the Materials.
    5. Students and graduates of IIN’s Health Coach Training Program (“HCTP”) continue to be bound by any HCTP IP Terms of Use, which are incorporated by reference herein.  
    6. You grant IIN and its affiliates a worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free, nonexclusive, sub-licensable, transferable license to use, reproduce, create derivative works of, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, transfer, transmit, distribute and publish content you submit in connection with the Courses (the “IIN IP License”). The IIN IP License applies to the distribution and the storage of your content in any form, medium, or technology now known or later developed. You acknowledge that, any content you would like to retain as your exclusive intellectual property, or that you wish to keep private, should not be posted or otherwise shared by you in connection with the Courses.

Student Benefits.  In addition to the Course and Materials, IIN may, in its discretion, provide you with additional benefits, including technological support, and/or invitations to attend live seminars, conferences, webinars, or other events (“Live Event(s)”) (collectively, “Student Benefits”).

    1. By attending a Live Event, you acknowledge and agree that any photographs, audio, or video recordings (the “Media”) of the Live Event taken by or on behalf of IIN are the exclusive property of IIN, and IIN has the exclusive right to print, display, publish, exploit, disseminate, and otherwise utilize the Media, whether or not you, your likeness, and/or your voice is captured in the Media, and without any fees, royalties, or payments of any kind owed to you. You waive all rights and release and discharge IIN from any claim, demand, or cause of action for defamation, invasion of privacy, infringement, or any other rights relating to the use of the Media.
    2. Your access to and use of Student Benefits is subject to you being in Good Financial and Academic Standing and being in compliance with the Enrollment Agreement, Student Catalog, and any other agreement with IIN.  Student Benefits are subject to change and/or termination, at any time, with or without notice to you.

Complaint or Grievance Procedure. All student complaints should be first directed to the school personnel involved.

Severability. Any provision of the Enrollment Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating or otherwise affecting the remaining provisions of the Enrollment Agreement in that or any other jurisdiction.
