The access to the online materials of the course or package will remain open during the restriction time and will be extended until the last day of the package (after added extended time). For single courses, the access to the online materials will remain until 3 months from the date of delivering course after the restriction is removed.
2. If the student has received the access to the online materials of the course or package but has not started the practical portions, they will have one of the following choices:

After the student withdraws from the course or package and receives the partial refund, if in the future decides to resume the course or package again, the non-refunded amount will be used as a credit for the new purchase, however, the price of the course or package will be calculated based on the current price in case if the price has increased.

The other 50% of the payment can be used as a credit towards the future courses if the student decides to take other courses within one year from the cancellation of the package. This credit is also transferable to other individuals with the consent of the student.

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial website and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared. – See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf

The international applicants who wish to attend the courses physically in Canada are welcome to apply for receiving Canadian visa and CBAM head office will provide a letter of support for processing the application.
This letter can be submitted to any Canadian embassy worldwide. If any embassy requires verification or any phone interviews with the head office, the CBAM will also provide a representative for performing the interview for verification or any further requirements of the embassy.
Please note that the letter of support for Visa application is only issued if the applicant pays the full payment of the course or package that he or she has applied for. We are not able to provide the letter if the applicant has only paid the deposit for the course or the package.
In case the visa is accepted, the full payment of the package or course is non-refundable even if the applicant decides not to attend the courses.
In case the visa is rejected, we will require a copy of the rejection letter and a copy of the passport of the applicant (the first page and also the page that the stamp of rejection appears). After verification of the rejection of applicant with the embassy, CBAM will refund the full payment back to the applicant minus the fee for online materials (please check the price of online materials which is listed in the Refund Policy section of this page). The fee for the online materials will remain in the applicant’s account as a credit, if in the future the student or someone that the student is introducing to CBAM will use the credit for any CBAM courses or packages. In this cases, the access to the online materials will expire 3 months after the date of the rejection letter.
The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.
In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:
We will notify you via email within 7 business days
We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States’ consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online. We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.
It’s also important to note that we allow third-party behavioral tracking
