Third Party Information & Services:
You may be able to access, review, display or use third party services, resources, content or information (“Third Party Materials”) through the Site. Such Third Party Materials may also include links to other websites, services or resources on the Internet, and other Third Party Materials may also contain links to the Site. By way of an example and not as a limitation, as part of the Site, Zack Academy will permit you to access information and services from businesses and entities that are not owned or operated by Zack Academy. In such instances, Zack Academy acts only as the link between you and such businesses. The purchase, payment, warranty, guarantee, delivery, maintenance, and all other matters concerning the services or information received from or provided to such businesses are covered by their customer agreements, terms, and policies, which are solely between you and such businesses and entities. Zack Academy makes no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, regarding the services or information received from such third parties, and the fact that Zack Academy makes such information and services available should not be construed as an endorsement of the business or entities, or the services and information they provide. Your ability to access or link to Third Party Materials or third party services (including, but not limited to SNSs) does not imply any endorsement by Zack Academy of Third Party Materials or any such third party services. By using the Site you are directing the Site to present to you the Third Party Materials that you have selected. When you access third party websites, you do so at your own risk and you acknowledge that content displayed through any such website is the sole responsibility of the entity that makes it available. Third Party Materials and websites are not under our control, and you acknowledge that we are not responsible or liable for the content, functions, availability, accuracy, legality, appropriateness or any other aspect of such websites or resources. The inclusion of any such link does not imply endorsement by, or any association with, Zack Academy. You further acknowledge and agree that we shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any such information or services available on or through any such website or resource.

Travel, Lodging, and Other Expenses:
Zack Academy and its service providers reserve the right to postpone or cancel courses prior to the scheduled course date. Zack Academy must postpone courses when student registration does not reach the minimum required amount. In the event of a postponed course, we will provide you with alternative dates to transfer into. If you must book your travel arrangements (i.e., airline travel) more than one (1) week prior to the class start, please contact Zack Academy to ensure that the course has met minimum registration requirements prior to making your travel arrangements.

Tardiness, Early Departures, and In-Class Certification Examination Assistance:
Planned tardiness or early departures must be communicated to Zack Academy prior to the course start date and time. If you arrive after the posted course start time it is at the instructor's discretion to deny or grant entry to the class, and you may be subject to a 25% rescheduling fee or may be required to forfeit the training fees in its entirety. For classes that require certification examinations, the instructor may read the examination questions and answers to students but under no circumstances can the instructor write the answers on behalf of any student. This service is provided at the discretion of the instructor and is ultimately mandated by the certifying body (i.e. EPA, OSHA, local States, etc.) and is not under direct control of Zack Academy. All decisions made in class by the instructor with regards to this policy are final and any student that cannot complete the certification exam is not eligible for a refund. Students are encouraged to call and inquire about any writing or comprehension disabilities prior to purchasing a course, as this is the only way to guarantee a student's situation can be accommodated.

Relationship with GBCI, USGBC, & LEED:
Zack Academy is not associated with the GBCI, USGBC, or LEED and none of the aforementioned entities endorse Zack Academy in any way. Zack Academy will issue a Certificate of Completion to students upon successful completion of any of our seminars. The Certificate of Completion acknowledges only your successful completion of the course; it does not guarantee that you can take the Green Associate Exam. Only the GBCI admits applicants to take the exam. Zack Academy does not administer any of the LEED exams.

The RRP Project Binder was developed by an independent third party.

The RRP Project Binder is based on the EPA's Federal mandate and may not align with the State Programs that have been developed independent of the EPA's Federal mandate.
