This Acceptance of Terms and Conditions (the “Agreement“) applies to your (“you” or “your”) participation in the Proctor Gallagher Consultant Training Program and its related courses, materials, websites and associated programs (collectively referred to as the “Program”) offered by the Proctor Gallagher Institute, L.P. (“PGI” and collectively referred to with you as the “Parties” and singularly as a “Party”).

  1. Term of Agreement. The term of this Agreement shall be from the time PGI accepts of your enrollment in the Program (the “Effective Date“) until the completion of the Program or, alternatively, upon termination by either Party. Either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving the other Party written notice of termination. Unless otherwise agreed to by PGI or stated herein, termination will not release either Party from any obligations that arose prior to the date written notice of termination was given.
  2. PGI Consultant Certification Requirement. To attend the Program you must: (1) have completed the Thinking Into Results Certification Program and be current with all annual certification dues required by PGI; (2) be a sales team member of an individual that has completed the Thinking Into Results Certification Program that is current with all annual certification dues required by PGI; (3) be enrolled in the Thinking Into Results Certification Program and have paid your full tuition for the certification training; (4) be enrolled in the Thinking Into Results Certification Program and current with your payments under the six (6) month payment plan authorized by PGI; or (5) uncertified TIR consultants that are otherwise recognized by PGI to teach the Thinking Into Results materials and content.
  3. Program Participation Payments. You agree to pay PGI the total amount listed for participation in the Program (the “Program Tuition”). The Program Tuition is the amount you and PGI agreed upon for your participation in the Program. By enrolling in the Program, you agree to pay PGI the Program Tuition, and you further agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. PGI may permit you to pay an initial deposit for participation in the Program or PGI, in its sole and absolute discretion, may agree to other payment arrangements for payment of the Program Tuition. You must pay PGI the full Program Tuition to be eligible to attend the Program. All delinquent, deactivated and/or on hold Program Tuition payment accounts maintained with PGI must be resolved in advance of the Program for you to be eligible to attend. If you fail to make any Program Tuition payment(s) to PGI on an agreed upon date, PGI may deem all sums due by you immediately payable to the company. Additionally, if you fail to make any payment(s) to PGI on an agreed upon date, PGI may suspend your ability to receive products and services related to the Program. Any such suspension, however, does not relieve you of your obligation to pay PGI the full Program Tuition.
  4. Program Materials. PGI may provide you with certain digital or other materials in connection with attending the Program. Unless otherwise agreed to by PGI, any digital or other materials associated with the Program will be added to your online account after you have completed the Program. If you have registered to attend a Program and subsequently canceled any digital or other materials provided by PGI associated with the Program will be added to your online account after you have completed the Program. You may not resell, redistribute, copy, duplicate or otherwise make available to any third party digital or other materials provided to you by PGI related to the Program or your attendance at the Program. Should you decide to cancel your participation in the Program prior to completion without written alternative accommodations approved by PGI, you are required to return directly to PGI all copies of any materials provided to you in connection with the Program and the Proctor Gallagher Consultant Thinking Into Results Certification Program (the “Certification Program”), which expressly includes all digital content capable of being returned (the “Required Returned Materials”).

If you fail to redeem your TIR Ticket Benefit within (12) moths after enrolling in the Certification Training and you do not obtain an extension from PGI to complete the requirement, which includes the payment of all fees associated with such an extension, you may still fulfill the requirement by attending the consultant training at your own cost. You may use your TIR Ticket Benefit to attend a training session and cancel your attendance no less than thirty (30) days before the scheduled start of the training session without penalty, thereby allowing you to redeem your TIR Ticket Benefit at a subsequent training session.
