ONLINE PRACTICE EXAMS AGREEMENT

By checking the “I accept terms and conditions” checkbox when purchasing our online practice exams (the “Practice Exams”), you hereby agree and accept the terms and conditions described in this Online Practice Exams Agreement (the “Agreement”).

Purpose

Our Practice Exams are a partial study option offered by the Contractors Intelligence School, Inc. (“us”, “we”, or “CIS”). (You and “CIS” may be referred to herein as the “Parties”).

Informational

The information contained on the Practice Exams is being provided to you for informational purposes only, which is to be used as a study tool for the Contractor’s License Exam (the “Exam”). We have made reasonable efforts to provide current and applicable questions on our Practice Exams and endeavor to provide you with valuable supplementary study options.

Test Accuracy

The questions found on our Practice Exams are designed to help you study information and concepts that will be found on the Exam, as well as the way that these concepts are tested.

The score you receive is not meant to and will not correlate to any particular score on the official exam but will give you some insight into which parts of the Exam you may need to work on or that you have adequately prepared for.

No Refunds

The purchase of our Practice Exams is final and there are no refunds under any circumstances or for any reason.

No Guarantee

We do not guarantee that you will pass the exam using only the Practice Exams. The Practice Exams included in your purchase are separate from the courses that we offer and are recommended as a supplemental study tool to help you pass the Exam.  

Only by purchasing a full course do we provide customers with a money-back guarantee.

If you only purchase the Practice Exams, you hereby understand and agree passing the Exam will be entirely dependent on the time you devote to learning the information and practicing by yourself in conjunction with the Practice Exams.  

Inspection

Sample questions for the law and trade sections (20 questions per topic) are available for your inspection before purchasing the Practice Exams. These complimentary sample questions are available to every student creating a free account with CIS.

These sample questions were extracted from the actual exam bank offered by CIS and Contractors Publisher, Inc. Students are encouraged to inspect the sample questions before purchasing the Practice Exams so that you can get a better feel for the types of questions you will be exposed to.  

No Affiliation

CIS is not affiliated, approved, or endorsed by the California Contractor’s State License Board (“CSLB”).

No Reproduction

You are not permitted to reproduce, duplicate, or transmit in any means the questions found within the Practice Exams.

Payment Disputes or Chargebacks

If you submit a dispute or chargeback with your credit card company which translates into non-payment for the Practice Exams, your past-due money owed to CIS will be referred for collection, which may impact your credit score and ability to obtain loans in the future. Should you submit a chargeback or dispute of the Practice Exams, you will be required to pay, in addition to the money owed to CIS, a one hundred and fifty dollar ($150) reimbursement fee for each disputed transaction, for administrative expenses and time spent by CIS in referring your account to a third-party (the “Chargeback Fee”). You hereby acknowledge and agree that this Chargeback Fee is not a penalty but is a fair estimation of the damages that CIS will incur as a result of dealing with your dispute or chargeback. If your dispute or chargeback is referred to a collection agency or attorney, we shall be entitled to recover all costs and fees, including reasonable attorney’s fees, in pursing the past-due balance owed by you.

Disclaimer

CIS MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION AS TO THE SUITABILITY OR QUALITY OF THESE PRACTICE EXAM MATERIALS AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR ANYTHING DONE OR OMITTED IN RELIANCE UPON THESE PRACTICE EXAMS. YOU SHALL HAVE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY FOR FULFILLING ANY REQUIREMENTS OR ACCOMPLISHING ANY OBJECTIVES IF YOU ONLY PURCHASE THE PRACTICE EXAMS AND NOT A FULL COURSE.

CIS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS, AND YOU HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE, ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE, IN NO EVENT WILL CIS BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT OR SIMILAR DAMAGES EVEN IF CIS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR SUCH DAMAGES WERE REASONABLY FORESEEABLE.

IN NO CASE SHALL CIS’S LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE PRICE YOU PAID FOR THE PRACTICE EXAMS.  

GOVERNING LAW

This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

MISCELLANEOUS

The following Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Parties as it concerns the Practice Exams. No other agreements, representations, warranties or other matters, oral or written, purportedly agreed to, represented by, or on behalf of CIS by any of its employees or agents or contained in any sales materials or brochures, shall bind the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. CIS will not be held liable as a result of any changes, data loss or corruption, cancellation, loss of access, or downtime to the fullest extent applicable by the limitation of liability laws. You may not assign your rights or obligations under this Agreement to any third party for any reason. If any term or provision herein is determined to be illegal or unenforceable, the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the terms or provisions herein will remain in full force and effect. Your failure to exercise any of your rights under this Agreement will constitute or be deemed a waiver or forfeiture of those rights.
