Membership Terms

• Enrolling in a membership entitles you to a maximum of the aforementioned benefits and does not imply a minimum. In other words, students who do not use all of the services are not eligible for a partial refund.
• Membership is not transferable between parties, it may be transferred between years (but never across parties AND between years).
• AccountingTraining does allow installment plans for those who are unable to pay the full membership fee. The membership and installment payments are not directly correlated – in other words, an installment plan with 3 payments does not mean you’ll get 1/3 of the services provided. You’ll always have access to 100% of the course even with a partial payment.
• Installment Payments are expected to be paid on time in full, without an equivalent value of delivered of service. In other words, if you choose to accept less services, you are still eligible for making your installment payments because the benefits have been available to you out of goodwill from the initial installment payment made.
• Failure to pay installment payments on time, will incur a $100 administration fee for each missed installment payment, in addition to a 19.99% interest accrued monthly. Failure to pay an installment payment will also result in your account suspended with 48 hours of a missed installment.
• We reserve the right to report your liability with us to a credit agency/collections agency.
• Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) students agree to abide by the rules of the profession as stipulated in the respective provincial Member Rules of Professional Conduct. The rules are virtually identical between provinces, and thus here is an example: http://www.icao.on.ca/resources/membershandbook/1011page2635.pdf
• We do reserve the right to report students behaving unethically, illegally or immorally to the ethics committee at the respective provincial member institute as defined in the Member Rules of Professional Conduct. This includes instances of non-payment by a student for fees owed to AccountingTraining (installments or additional billables).
• Memberships terms may change at any time without warning.
