PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE/MALFUNCTION AGREEMENT

Section A: Applicable to all preparatory courses

By entering into this agreement, I understand and accept responsibility for all property and materials that I may damage intentionally, or unintentionally while on the premises of Prep Nursing. I understand that it is my responsibility to advise Prep Nursing’ staff of any such damage caused, immediately upon becoming aware of it. Furthermore, I understand that I will be responsible for reimbursing Prep Nursing for any such damage, as advised by staff.

Section B: Applicable to those enrolling in the OSCE preparatory course

By entering into this agreement, I understand how to properly operate and maintain the equipment I am using at home, in the laboratory and in the classroom, as depicted in the course manual and explained by the instructor. I understand that during a course, equipment downtime for repairs/maintenance may occur, and there will be no make-up time or compensation of any sort for missed time, as Prep Pharma takes potential downtime into account when constructing a course/service and will ensure that all course objectives will be met by the end of the course.

In the event the lab outage is taking longer than expected, Prep Pharma reserves the right to provide portable equipment or to hold the course in a temporary and/or portable setup instead of the main labs until the main labs reopen, with no liability or compensation required for the duration the portable/temporary setup is used.

I agree to be responsible for any loss or damage to the equipment and its return in the same condition in which it was received, except for the normal wear and tear. If the student is deemed responsible for the loss, or loss of use of the equipment, the student will be liable for the repair, or replacement of the equipment. If the equipment is not returned in good condition, Prep Pharma may charge the renter a fee equal to the cost to restore the Used Equipment to the condition in which it was in at the time the renter initially received it.

MISSING CLASSES OR PARTS OF A COURSE

Missed classes will NOT be compensated for in any way, so please ensure that the student closely adheres to the classroom time. If the student absolutely cannot attend due to a major circumstance, please ensure that the student has an arrangement with a colleague for missed notes, as Prep Nursing does not have the obligation, nor may it have the feasibility, to repeat or replay lectures. It is, however, a good practice to inform the administrative staff of missed lectures regardless, in case there is pre-planned make-up or repeat session(s).

PROPRIETARY AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

As between Prep Nursing and the student, Prep Nursing owns all rights, title and interest in and to the services and program materials. The student acknowledges and agrees that the services and program materials are provided to the student only in accordance with the terms and conditions of this agreement. Except for the limited rights granted in the Agreement. Except for the limited rights granted in this Agreement, all rights are reserved by Prep Nursing.

IDENTIFICATIONS AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS

Prep Nursing may at any point prior to or during a service/course ask for identifying documents to prove the identity of a student or the authenticity of registrations or Student Relations requests. Such documents include government issued IDs/documents and the Nursing Examining Board of Canada profile and number. Prep Nursing will not share these documents with a third party without the consent of the student. Unwillingness or refusal to provide identifying documents is grounds for expulsion with no refund.

DENIAL OF FUTURE REGISTRATIONS

The violation of any agreement entered into with Prep Nursing at any point in time may be grounds for dismissal from Prep Nursing services and grounds for being blacklisted from some or all future Prep Nursing services.

Please be sure of the student’s decision to enrol. Once a registration form is filled in, the student is legally bound and financially committed for the FULL FEES, regardless of attendance or payment status (students on payment plans will still be liable for outstanding fees not yet collected). We have a strict NO REFUND policy outside the terms outlined below. No exceptions will be made.

If the student is unsure of being fully committed to the course, consult with the details below BEFORE the student register.

RESERVATION FEE POLICY

Reservation fees are collected when Prep Nursing does not intend to collect the full fee/tuition for a service, reducing the financial burden on students and providing them more time to acquire funds.

Reservation fees will be associated with a corresponding full fee/tuition due date.

Reservation fees are non-refundable, non-transferable, and non-creditable.

Students are required to pay the full fee, or enter into a binding payment plan agreement, on the full fee/tuition due date. Failure to do so will cause the reservation fee to be forfeited (no refund). The reservation amount will be applied to the tuition/service fee on the tuition due date.

In the event a withdrawal is requested before the start date of the course/service, the penalty will be the reservation fee amount or the standard withdrawal policy amount, whichever is higher (see standard withdrawal policy). This is applicable before and after the full fee due date.

TRANSFERS/CREDITS FROM A DIFFERENT CYCLE/COURSE

Transfers between cycles/courses are not permitted. Only a few extenuating circumstances, such as bereavement, may be considered. Approved cases will be subject to administrative penalties on a case-by-case basis, is limited to one approval per registration, and is subject to price increases and course/service changes.

Please be advised that students transferring from a different cycle/course or registering using a credit from a different cycle/course will not be eligible for a refund request. A student loses their eligibility for a refund on the date a transfer/credit is approved.

STANDARD WITHDRAWAL POLICY

(All deduction amounts are calculated based on full, non-discounted course/service fee)

• 10% will be deducted (or charged in case of a payment plan) as a minimum processing and banking fee for any withdrawal or cancellation.

• Additional processing, administrative (incl. books and class handouts), or transaction fees may be deducted from the refund amount as necessary.

RESALE AND REASSIGNMENT

Reselling Prep Nursing content, handouts, and/or books is not allowed and constitutes grounds for dismissal from Prep Nursing services with no refund.

COURSE FEES

The advertised course fees are subject to change without notice. Any planned change in fees will not impact students who are already registered.

Attaching student responses/recordings or approved amendments to the existing registration may be sufficient.
