These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Product School, Incorporated, and its affiliates and subsidiaries (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “Product School,” “we,” and/or “us”). Please read these Terms carefully before using the Product School Service (defined below). By using the Product School Services, you: (1) acknowledge that you have read and understood these Terms; (2) represent that you are 18 years of age or older and of legal age to enter into a binding agreement, or, if you are under 18 years of age, you represent and agree that you possess the legal consent of your parent or guardian to access and use the Product School Services; and (3) accept these Terms and agree that you are legally bound by them. If you do not agree to any of these Terms, do not use any of the Product School Services. Your use of the Product School Services manifests your agreement to be bound by these Terms each time you access the Product School Services.
Revisions to Terms
Product School, in our sole discretion, reserves the right to revise and update these Terms at any time, wholly or partially, by posting an updated version. You should visit this page periodically to review the most current Terms because you are bound by them. Your continued use of the Product School Service after a change to these Terms constitutes your binding acceptance of these Terms. The terms “post” and “posting,” as used herein, shall mean the act of submitting, uploading, publishing, displaying, or similar action on the Product School Services. If you do not accept these Terms or their revisions, your sole recourse will be to stop using the Product School Service.
Product School Service
The Product School Service (“Product School Service”) shall mean and refer to the website located at www.productschool.com, as well as all associated software, applications, and all other services under Product School’s control, whether in part or otherwise, used in connection with the services provided by Product School. The Product School Service provides an online platform to enable you to view information online and through other connected devices about classes, courses, workshops, and other education programs and events offered by Product School (collectively, “Courses”). These Courses are at the intersection of technology, design, and business, and the availability of such information resides in Product School’s sole discretion. Together with our members, thought leaders, and seasoned practitioners (collectively, “Instructors”), Product School offers a robust curriculum focused on product management and other practices by which business, design, and technology can be leveraged to create industry-changing products and successful companies. The Product School Service will also permit the community of users of the Product School Service to engage in discussions and communications with one another and with the Instructors.
Sign Up for a Course
You may sign up for a Course using the Product School Service. However, we cannot promise the availability of any Course.
Chat Room Service and Blog Post
You may be able to engage in online chat sessions with other users of the Product School Service, including Instructors. You should exercise caution, good sense, and sound judgment when submitting messages to be posted in a chat room. Think – and read twice – before you post anything. Once something is posted online, it may live in perpetuity, and messages posted today could be highly embarrassing or damaging to your credibility or reputation in the future. Product School makes no representations or warranties with respect to the confidentiality of any posts you make through the Product School Service. You are solely responsible for any comments or materials you post in a chat room and assume all liability arising out of a post. Product School expressly disclaims all liability regarding such posts. If any legal action is taken on Product School as a result of any of your actions, you explicitly agree to indemnify Product School for all costs incurred in the defense of Product School.
Information you Provide to Instructors
Your Instructors may ask for certain information from you, such as your email address, in order to help facilitate the provision of the Course. Instructors are required to use this information only to communicate about Course materials in a professional manner. However, you agree that we are not responsible for any use of this information by an Instructor for other purposes, and Product School disclaims all liability for any action arising out of such other purpose by an Instructor.
Third-Party Services
We use third-party venues and services to help us provide the Product School Service, but such use does not indicate that we endorse them or are responsible or liable for their actions. The Product School Service may link to third-party websites to facilitate its provision of services to you. If you use these links, you will partially or totally leave the Product School Service. Some of these third-party websites may use Product School Content (defined below) under license from Product School. Product School is not responsible, in any manner, for these third-party websites, whether or not Product School is affiliated with such third-party websites. Through our use, we do not endorse the organizations sponsoring such third-party websites or their products or services. You agree that Product School is not responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as a result of any such dealings you may have on or through a third-party website, or as a result of the presence of any third-party advertising on the Product School Service.
Social Sign-On
The Product School Service may allow you to register and log in using sign-on functionality provided by various social networks, such as Facebook. You agree to abide by the social network’s terms and conditions applicable to you. You are solely responsible for any and all compliance with such social network’s terms, or for any privacy issues that may arise as a result of such functionality and assume all liability for any action arising out of such use.
Featuring a Course or Instructor
Product School may feature a Course or Instructor, but we make no representations about the quality of any Courses or Instructors, nor is this a recommendation of a Course or Instructor. Product School does not guarantee the availability of specific instructors for any class. Product School reserves the right to change instructors, without notice, at any time for any reason.
Featuring your Student Work
With your permission, we may promote Product School using the work that you completed as part of completing a Course (“Student Work”), and you grant Product School a nonexclusive license to use your name, in combination with your Student Work, in any and all media, in connection with Product School’s promotional efforts. Our use will be primarily focused on promoting Product School, but Product School reserves the right to use such Student Work as deemed reasonable by us. Product School will include your name and attribute the Student Work to you.
Instructor & Class Availability
Product School books instructors and appropriate classroom space for every in-person cohort and online classroom space for every online cohort. Product School reserves the right to change the instructor or the location or time of cohorts and specific classes and in such event provides notice to students of said change.
Payments & Courses
Product School may charge you fees to attend a Course, the amount of which may be revised by Product School from time to time, reflect a discount if payment is made up front, and vary from region to region, and topic to topic, at Product School’s sole discretion. You agree to pay for all products and services that you purchase through the Product School Service, and you agree that we may charge your selected payment method, either directly, or through the services of a third-party payment processor, for any such payments. Only those payment methods accepted by our third-party payment processor can be used to purchase products, goods, or services through the Product School Service.
Third-Party Payment Processors
Product School currently uses third-party payment processors for electronic commerce. Our third-party payment processor accepts payments through methods detailed on the applicable payment screen, which may include, but is not limited to, various credit cards, and Braintree. Information that you supply to our payment processors is not stored by us or within our control, and is subject to each of our third-party payment processors’ own privacy policies and terms and conditions. Third-party payment processors may charge a fee to process payments. Product School is not responsible, in any manner, for any fees charged by them. Product School expressly disclaims all liability or responsibility regarding any problems that you may have with third-party payment processors.
Availability of Certain Forms of Payment
Product School makes no representations and warranties about the continued availability of any particular form of payment method made available for use with the Product School Service.
Pre-Authorization
When you provide a credit card number to us to activate and/or pay for any fees related to Product School, we, through our third-party payment processor, may seek pre-authorization of your credit card account prior to a purchase in order to verify that the credit card is valid and/or has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your purchase. These pre-authorizations will reduce your available balance by the authorization amount until it is released or reconciled with the actual charge. Please contact your card issuer if you have additional questions regarding when an authorization amount will be removed from your statement.
Timing of Charges
Charges occur within a reasonable time of the transaction, or shortly thereafter, and multiple charges during the same period may be aggregated together.
Recurring Payment Program
Product School offers a recurring payment program for certain Product School Services, which allows you to pay the balance owed for courses in installments. You agree to enroll in this program by selecting any of the installment plan payment options. By enrolling in this plan, you have authorized us to charge your checking/savings account, or credit card, for the amount and at the intervals set forth by us. You can cancel your enrollment in our recurring payment program by notifying us in writing at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the next billing date of your intent to cancel the authorization. To cancel, please notify us in writing at [email protected]. You are responsible for all recurring charges made prior to the effective date of cancellation.
Abandoned Carts
If you enter your email address and then leave a checkout page unattended for 30 minutes, or when you close the webpage and not return to it within 30 minutes, it is counted as an “Abandoned Cart.” Your email address may be used to send you a reminder to complete your subscription purchase or for other marketing purposes.
Disputed Charges
You agree to submit any disputes regarding any charge to your account in writing to Product School within thirty (30) calendar days of such charge, or your dispute is waived and such charge will be final and not subject to challenge. You may dispute a charge by sending an email to us at [email protected].
Fees Charged by Third-Party Payment Processors
As previously stated, the Product School Service uses third parties to process payments. Use of such third-party payment services is subject to their terms and conditions of use. Those third parties may charge fees to process such payments, and Product School is not responsible for any fees charged by them. Again, Product School disclaims all liability with regard to any fees or problems you may have with third-party payment processors.
Tuition and Fees (USD)
The total cost of each course consists of the tuition fee and a non-refundable registration fee. Please note that there is a registration fee for each and every course. The registration fee may vary depending on the location of the course.
Reschedule Fee (USD)
A student may request to reschedule their course start date to another course start date if space is available in the requested course. A reschedule fee of $300 USD will be assessed for any course that gets rescheduled without at least thirty (30) calendar days prior notice. If a course reschedule is requested more than thirty (30) calendar days in advance, no fee will be assessed.
Promotions and Discounts Terms
Product School may offer promotions, discounts, or promotional codes on specific certifications and programs, at its sole discretion. Such promotions are valid only during the specified period of the promotion, apply solely to new course or program enrollments, and may not be combined with other offers unless otherwise stated. Students who enroll in a course or program before the start of any promotional period or discounted rate are not eligible to withdraw or re-enroll in an effort to obtain the promotional rate.
Any cancellation or withdrawal from a course or program that was purchased with a promotional discount will be subject to Product School’s refund policy, which will apply based on the discounted purchase price. To maintain the integrity of our promotional offerings, the system will prevent any re-enrollment attempts solely for the purpose of obtaining a promotion, and any concerns should be directed to our Student Support team for assistance.
Product School reserves the right to modify, suspend, or cancel any promotion at any time without prior notice. Promotions are non-transferable, non-refundable, and may not be combined with other offers unless explicitly stated in the promotional terms.
Refunds, Cancellation and No Show Policies
You should contact the Student Success Department directly at [email protected], not Instructors or any other staff member, for any rescheduling, cancellation, withdrawal, and/or refund requests and questions. As part of the refund process, students should fill out the refund form and book a call with our Student Success Team. Product School may modify its refund policy at any time, with or without specific notice to you; provided, however, that the published refund policy in effect at the time of the student’s enrollment shall apply to such enrollment period despite any subsequent change in the policy.
Student-Initiated Withdrawal: The student notifies the institution in writing of the student’s withdrawal or as of the date of the student’s withdrawal, whichever is later. The notification is effective when Product School receives notice, or the date the notice is mailed, whichever is sooner.
Administrative Withdrawal: The institution terminates the student’s enrollment for failure to maintain satisfactory progress; failure to abide by the rules and regulations of the institution; absences in excess of maximum set forth by the institution; and/or failure to meet financial obligations to the School. If the student has failed to attend or make up 12 clock hours of instruction, the student will be administratively withdrawn effective as of the 12th hour missed.
Specific cancellation, refund, and withdrawal policies may vary. Please, refer to your enrollment agreement and/or the Student Success department for any questions you have regarding the cancellation, refund, and withdrawal policies that may apply to you.
For the purpose of determining the amount of the refund, the date of the student’s withdrawal shall be deemed the last date of recorded attendance or/and day that you had access to the course material. You will be responsible for 100% of the tuition cost in case you are administratively withdrawn.
If the student obtains a loan to pay for an educational program, the student will have the responsibility to repay the full amount of the loan plus interest, less the amount of any refund.
Late Fee
If a student holds an outstanding balance after the course end date, a one-time $75 USD late fee will be applied, as well as a 1.5% interest charge on the total due will be applied each month thereafter.
Cancellation Policy
The student has the right to cancel enrollment agreements, without any penalty or obligation with respect to the tuition fee, through attendance at the first class session (or access to your class materials) or seven (7) calendar days after enrollment, whichever comes later, in which case Product School will only keep the ]. Cancellation is effective when the student provides a written notice of cancellation to the Student Success team. This can be done by email. The written notice of cancellation need not take any particular form and, however, expressed, it is effective if it shows that the student no longer wishes to be bound by the Enrollment Agreement. If the Enrollment Agreement is canceled the school will refund the student any money paid, less the non-refundable application fees per course, within thirty (30) calendar days after the notice of cancellation is received.
Withdrawal Policy
You may withdraw from the Product School at any time after the cancellation period (described above) and refunds are determined in accordance with the Refund Policy stated below. For the purpose of determining a refund under this section, a student shall be deemed to have withdrawn from a course of instruction when any of the following occurs:
Student-Initiated Withdrawal: The student notifies Product School in writing of the student’s withdrawal or as of the date of the student’s withdrawal, whichever is later. The notification is effective when Product School receives notice, whichever is sooner.
Administrative Withdrawal: Product School terminates the student’s enrollment for failure to maintain satisfactory progress; failure to abide by the rules and regulations of Product School; failure to behave with respect to instructors and fellow students, as deemed so by Product School staff and/or the instructors themselves; absences in excess of maximum set forth by Product School; failure to meet financial obligations to the Product School; and/or failure to present good behavior not being disruptive in the classroom, at your instructor’s or Product School’s discretion. If the student has failed to attend or make up 25% of instruction, the student will be administratively withdrawn effective as of the 12th hour missed.
Students who withdraw due to an emergency, such as personal or family illness or national service, may be re-enrolled into another Product School course following approval by the Student Success Team.
Make-Up Class Policy
We understand that it may be necessary to make up for a class, and this is why we allow each student to make-up missed classes via video recordings, up to a maximum of one (1) weekend or two (2) weeknight classes. Please note that Product School is not obligated to accommodate every request.

Copyright Policy
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe, in good faith, that materials posted on the Product School Service infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send Product School a “Notification of Claimed Infringement” requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. Please send this notification to [email protected]. The notice must include the following information:
The date of your notification;
A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the works that have been allegedly infringed;
Identification of the copyrighted work alleged to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works located on the Product School Service are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works);
Identification of the specific material alleged to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity and information reasonably sufficient to allow Product School to locate the material on the Product School Service;
Your name, address, telephone number, and email address (if available);
A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
If you believe, in good faith, that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send Product School a counter-notice to 548 Market Street, PMB 22502, San Francisco, CA, 94104 and all emails should be addressed to [email protected].
Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.loc.gov/copyright/ for details. Consult your legal advisor and see 17 U.S.C. § 512 before filing a notice or counter-notice as there are penalties for false claims under the DMCA.
If a counter-notice is received by Product School’s copyright agent, Product School may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing such person that it may reinstate the removed content in ten (10) business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member or user, the removed content may (in Product School’s discretion) be reinstated on the Product School website ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days, or more, after receipt of the counter-notice.
