Terms of Service
Acceptance of Terms of Service
These Terms of Service govern your use of all websites published by the Center for Career Coaching (CCC) and ATN Associates LLC. By using, visiting, or browsing CCC’s websites, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service, you should not use CCC's websites.
Changes to Terms of Service
CCC reserves the right, from time to time, with or without notice to you, to change these Terms of Service in our sole discretion. The most current version of these Terms of Service is posted on the site, and can be reviewed by clicking on the "Terms of Service" link located at the bottom of most of the sites' pages. The most current version of the Terms of Service will supersede all previous versions. Your use of the CCC websites after changes are made means that you agree to be bound by such changes.
Privacy
Any information submitted on CCC's websites is subject to our Privacy Policy, the terms of which are incorporated herein. We respect your privacy and will not rent or sell your personal information to other entities, or in any other way share it.
Membership and Billing
You can find the specific details regarding your billing program with CCC at any time by viewing the payment terms on the registration page you used to register with your program. We reserve the right to terminate any account at any time for any reason.
As a customer of a CCC program, you agree that we are permitted to charge or debit, as applicable, your fees and any applicable tax or other charges you may incur in connection with your use of CCC's services. As used in these Terms of Service, "billing" shall indicate either a charge or debit, as applicable, against your Payment Method. The fee will be billed according to the terms on your registration page (the page where you entered your account information). You shall be responsible for all charges incurred through your account as well as for paying any applicable taxes. We will automatically bill your Payment Method for each billing period on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your membership. If you want to use a different Payment Method or if there is a change in your credit card validity or expiration date, you may edit your Payment Method information by contacting us at info@centerforcareercoaching.com.
Your right to use a CCC program is conditional upon our receipt of payment. If payment cannot be charged to your credit card or if a charge is refunded for any reason, including chargeback, we reserve the right to immediately and without notice, either suspend or terminate your access and account, thereby terminating this Agreement and all CCC obligations hereunder. You are required to pay any amounts still owed to us at the time your account is suspended or terminated. Terminations are not retroactive. If you have an outstanding balance due on any CCC account, you hereby agree that CCC may charge these unpaid fees to your credit card.
You acknowledge that if we offer installments, it is as a convenience and in no way meant to be as a "subscription" program. You are obligated to pay all installments until your balance is fully paid for the full price of the program, whether you choose to continue to participate actively in the program while installments come due or not. You may not cancel your installments for this course, just as you would not cancel the payment plan for an automobile.
No refunds are offered. It is up to you to be sure that this program is a good fit for your needs, and then to do the work required to complete it. Do not sign up if you are not serious about entering this field and working with us, as in any other endeavor or coursework, to succeed.
Use of Materials
As long as your payments are up to date with the program, you may use our materials with your coaching clients. This right applies even after you complete and fully pay for the program. You may add your logo to the materials, and adapt the materials to fit your approach to coaching clients, subject to the restrictions that follow.
You must print on each page of content that uses all or part of our materials, whether in original form or altered by you, the following statement: Adapted with permission from ATN Associates LLC and The Center for Career Coaching
All source materials remain property of ATN Associates LLC and may not be sold, licensed, or franchised by you, or assigned in any other form.
You may only use these materials to improve your clients' understanding of how to be more effective executives, leaders, managers, and business owners. Also, this license only applies to the single individual who purchased the program and may not be assigned in any way.
You may NOT use these materials in any of the following ways:
- To teach or train people how to coach or how to be coaches.
- To teach or train people how to play any advisory role, including but not limited to consultant, trainer, business advisor, executive advisor, or facilitator.

Account Access
For programs that allow you access to a password-protected site, CCC works to make your online experience as customized and personalized as practical. In order to provide you with ease of access to your account, CCC may place a cookie (a small text file) on any computer from which you access CCC's websites. When you revisit CCC's websites, this cookie will enable us to recognize you. This allows CCC to automatically determine your account access privileges while allowing you to navigate the websites without having to repeatedly log in. It also helps us understand and meet your interests and needs; allow tracking and authentication of your use of the message boards; and more accurately collect other information, such as survey data. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password and for restricting access to your computer.

Neither CCC nor any third-party provider of information guarantees the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any content.

General Information
This Agreement and the relationship between you and CCC shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You and CCC irrevocably agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located within the county of Sarasota, in the State of Florida, and waive any jurisdictional, venue, or inconvenient forum objections to such courts. The failure of CCC to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severed herewith and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. The section titles in this Agreement are for convenience purposes only and have no legal or contractual effect. This Agreement is not assignable, transferable or sub-licensable by you except with our prior written consent. However, we may assign this Agreement to any third party whom we choose without your consent. No waiver by CCC of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default.
