Terms of Service

Effective Date: January 1, 2010

Medical challenges require a new set of skills: coping skills.  CopingUniversity.com is here to help you learn the coping skills you need from different perspectives that will shed new light on the problem as well as the solutions.  

The following terms form an agreement between you and A Few Good People, Inc. ("we" or "us"), the operator of the CopingUniversity.com website (the “Site”).  These "Terms and Conditions" (agreement) govern your use of the Site, both as a casual visitor and as a Registered Student (as defined below)

Our site has rules about what you can and can’t do, and what we will and won't do. Those are all outlined below. Please read them carefully because we want to be sure you understand and accept them before you register as one of our students and gain access to our content.

BY USING THE SITE AND BY REGISTERING WITH US YOU SIGNIFY THAT YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, including that you agree to communicate with us electronically and that you consent to our Privacy Policy.  We offer the Site "AS IS," without warranties of any kind.

1. About the Site

CopingUniversity.com is NOT an accredited learning institution and no officially or legally recognized degrees, titles, or designations are awarded or earned.  We use the term “University” as a metaphor for a place of learning, because that’s what we are: a place to learn, in our case, coping techniques and skills.  In addition, we have chosen to remain consistent in our use of the “university” metaphor by using relevant terms such as “curriculum,” “student,” “lesson plan,” etc.

We strive to offer new ideas and perspectives on coping skills.  It is not our intention to prevent, diagnose, treat, or cure any disease or condition, and nothing on our site should be construed in such a manner.  Never change your treatment or lifestyle without consulting your doctor or some other licensed medical professional.

We do not recommend, endorse, or make any warranties as to any tests, physicians, services, products, procedures, opinions, or other information that may be mentioned on this site.

We sometimes partner with non-profit and for-profit organizations in order to support the site and help make it available to more people who will benefit from its use.  We sometimes proudly and prominently display our sponsors’ logos and other identifying information in addition to our own. These terms and conditions apply to all versions of the site, with or without sponsors’ branding.

We may accept advertising on the Site. We try to make good choices in what advertisements we will and won’t accept. Everything we offer on the Site is referred to in these Terms and Conditions collectively as the “Services." Some of the Site is accessible without registering with us, but in order to access full content you must register and agree to these Terms and Conditions.
  

2. Registration

You can view demonstration sections of the Site without registering.  By “Demonstration”, we mean any part of the Site containing information about our content such as lists and descriptions of our content as well as sample excerpts from our content. In order to access any of our programs in their entirety, however, you must register and agree to these terms and conditions.  You may not attempt to impersonate another person, or violate the rights of others.  

Registration is a two-step process. First step: you must fill out the registration form on the Site, after which we will send a confirmation email to you at the address you specified, containing a special link.  Second step: you must then click on the link we sent you in order to verify your email address and complete the registration process.

Once you have completed both steps of the registration process, you are considered a “Registered Student” and will have access to and all content that is available to other Registered Students.

3. Your Personal Information

Our Privacy Policydescribes the information we collect when you and others use this Site. It also describes how we use the personal information you share with us and some of the steps we take to protect your privacy. Our Privacy Policy is part of these Terms of Use.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password. You agree to notify us immediately of any known or suspected unauthorized use of your password or any other breach of security. We cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect the confidentiality of your password.

Every Registered Student is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their unique password. Our system provides a measure of privacy only if the web site address and the Registered Student’s e-mail/password are not shared with others without the Registered Student’s permission
