The Services may be delivered to you through the Internet via your browser or app (mobile or otherwise) and may include enrollment ("Enrollment") in one or more online courses ("Course(s)") provided through the Services for use in connection with classes and programs offered by your school, employer, university or other educational institution ("Institution"). While your User Account (defined below) for the Services may continue for an indefinite period of time during which you may enroll in other Courses, your access to those specific Courses provided through the Services is provided on a subscription basis for a limited period of time (each a "Subscription"). The Services may be provided directly by Pearson or accessed through a third party integration with accounts managed by your Institution or an integrated third party service provider ("Third Party Service"). The Services may link to or provide options to access third party websites or applications.

4. Authorized Users and User Accounts

   The Services are available only to individuals, including but not limited to educational institution, administrators and students, who have gained lawful access to the Services directly from Pearson or its Third Party Service provider or through the Institution of which such individual is affiliated ("Authorized User" or "User"). In order to initiate access to the Services, you must register for a user account ("User Account") by providing your first name, last name, valid email address (and in the case of Enrollments, your Institution, educational institution and Course name or code) and designating a secret and unique username and password ("Account Credentials"), as well as any additional information that may be required by your Institution. In some cases, your User Account may already be established for you by your Institution, or by way of direct access from an integrated Third Party Service, such as a learning management system, each of which may have additional terms of use or requirements for account access. Pearson may use your Account Credentials to validate your account prior to providing access to the Services each time you access the Services.

   You may have only one active User Account at any given time. You agree to provide accurate and truthful information when creating a User Account and to promptly update such information should it change.

Pearson is not responsible for limitations of access resulting from any Third Party Service or as the result of certain account settings established by your Institution.

    Pearson may at any time, with or without notice to you, restrict the use and accessibility of the Services and/or discontinue any portion, feature, or content of the Services.

Information and updates about changes to the Services and its availability are posted regularly at Pearson Support.

17. Termination of Access

    1. Trial Access. On a case-by-case basis, Services may be made available to you for a trial review period for up to fifteen (15) days ("Review Period"). During the Review Period, you will be provided access to the Services without charge; however, access to the Services offered for trial review will be terminated if payment is not made prior to the end of the Review Period. Termination of a Service does not automatically terminate your User Account. Further, you expressly acknowledge and agree that if at any time during the Review Period, Pearson, in its sole discretion, determines that you are utilizing the Review Period as a substitute or proxy for a paid Service, it may immediately terminate or suspend your access to the applicable Service for which you’ve been granted a Review Period. In the event of any suspension or termination of your access to such a Service, you acknowledge and agree that: (a) the Service, its functionality, activities, materials, or any results generated by your use thereof may not be available to you or any other person; and (b) neither you nor any other person are authorized to access or use any results generated by your use of the suspended or terminated Course, its functionality, activities, or materials regardless of whether such results are available within the Course or the Services. If your access to a Course is terminated due to you not purchasing a Course Subscription, and then Pearson subsequently reinstates your access to the Course upon later receiving payment, any such reinstated access shall remain subject to the terms of this EULA (unless Pearson provides new terms and conditions to You at the time of such reinstated access, in which case such new terms and conditions shall apply).
    2. Termination by You. Subject to account restrictions that may be imposed by your Institution or a Third Party Service through which access to the Services is provided, you may terminate your User Account at any time by notifying Pearson of your decision to do so. Your satisfaction with the Services is important to us. If you have any concerns or complaints about the Services or wish to terminate your access to the Services, please contact us at Pearson Support.
    3. Termination by Pearson. Pearson may, in its sole discretion, and with or without advance notice, suspend your access to all or any part of the Services, or terminate your rights to use the Services, for any conduct or use (whether by you or anyone else having access to the Services under your Account Credentials) that Pearson reasonably believes violates this EULA.
    4. Effect of Termination. Whether termination is initiated by you, your Institution or Pearson, Sections 12, 14, 17-21, 25 and 28 of this EULA shall survive any such termination. Any User Account information, data, settings or specifications or customizations of a Service or Subscription specific to your User Account may be permanently lost upon termination of a Service or Subscription provided through the Services, whether by you, Pearson or your Institution. User Content and other user information associated with your use of the Services may still be accessible by your Institution or, to the extent it is posted in a public forum, to other Users of the Services for which such information was posted, even after termination.

18. Sole Remedy

    Pearson's entire liability to you, and your sole and exclusive remedy, regarding the use of the Services shall be either restoration of access for which you have subscribed or purchased, or a refund of any fees paid directly by you to Pearson for the particular Service or Subscription. When available, refunds will only be made if requested by you in writing within the first 15 days after Enrollment or registration.
