By browsing, accessing, or using the platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Use.

Description of Services

We provide Visitors and Registered Users with access to the Services described below. 

Visitors can view all publicly-available content on Change Up Learning.

Registered Users have purchased one or more courses or an annual subscription. Registered Users can do all the things that Visitors can do, and can access content exclusive to Registered Users including but not limited to creating, accessing, managing, and updating their accounts; participating in professional development courses; participating in contests; posting comments on discussion boards; and accessing resources and any other content available upon logging into Change Up Learning. Registered Users designated as administrators for their companies (“company administrator” hereafter) can also access and use tools on the administrator dashboard.

Change Impact is under no obligation to accept any individual as a Registered User and may accept or reject any registration in its sole and complete discretion. In addition, Change Impact may deactivate any account at any time, including, without limitation, if it determines that a Registered User has violated these Terms of Use.

  • Infringes any copyright, trademark, right of publicity, or other proprietary rights of any person or entity; or
  • Is threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, libelous, deceptive, fraudulent, invasive of another’s privacy, tortious, sexually explicit, promotes violence, or contains hate speech (i.e., speech that attacks or demeans an individual or group based on ability, age, ethnicity, gender/gender identity/gender expression, national origin, pregnancy status, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and/or veteran status); or

Pricing and Subscription Fees/Credits

Visitors and Registered Users will abide by the following:

Pricing: Pricing for Change Up Learning courses, subscriptions, and premium services is posted on publicly-accessible pages of the platform. Pricing may be changed at any time, although a Registered User’s annual subscription fee will not change during the subscription period. Annual subscriptions renew automatically with ample notice provided to the Registered User and/or company administrator.

Subscription Fees and Credits: Annual subscriptions must be prepaid unless otherwise indicated by Change Impact in writing. While a Registered User or their company administrator may not cancel a subscription until the subscription year has ended, the purchaser can receive credits to use toward another subscription. This effectively allows a company that has purchased an annual subscription for an employee who can no longer use the platform due to termination or role change to transfer the remaining time on the subscription to another employee. No refunds will be issued for any Registered User account unless Change Impact fails to provide access to the platform.

We may analyze data on Registered Users to improve Change Up Learning and/or to generate research findings. To conduct such analyses or research, we may work with a third party, however, we would only share de-identified and/or aggregated data that cannot be traced back to any Registered Users.

If your employer purchased access to Change Up Learning for you, your Change Up Learning company administrator does not have access to your account or answers to course check-ins (i.e., quizzes) or reflection questions. However, your Change Up Learning company administrator will have access to course progress completion data and can request Practice email open and click-through data.

All disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator selected jointly by the parties, whose decision will be final, except for a limited right of appeal under the FAA.

We may, without waiving any other remedies under these Terms of Use, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim, equitable, provisional, or injunctive relief that is necessary to protect our rights and property pending the outcome of the arbitration referenced above. You hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to the personal and subject matter jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in the State of New York, County of Nassau for purposes of any such action by use.
