Effective date: September 23, 2026
Last updated: September 23, 2026
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern access to and use of courses.dianesweeney.com, including its online courses, accounts, downloads, group-management features, and related services (collectively, the “Course Site”). The Course Site is operated by Diane Sweeney Consulting (“Diane Sweeney Consulting,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
By accessing the Course Site, creating an account, purchasing or enrolling in a course, or accepting course access assigned by an organization, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Course Site.
1. Eligibility and Authority
The Course Site is intended for adult educators, school and district personnel, and other professional learners. You must be at least 18 years old or the age of legal majority where you live to make a purchase. If you use the Course Site on behalf of a school, district, organization, or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
2. Accounts and Account Security
You agree to provide accurate, current information and to keep it updated. You are responsible for safeguarding your username, password, and account access and for activity occurring through your account. Course accounts and individual seats may not be shared or transferred unless we expressly authorize it. Notify us promptly at info@dianesweeney.com if you suspect unauthorized access.
3. Purchases, Payments, and Refund Terms
Prices, taxes, course-access terms, and any applicable refund or cancellation terms are presented at checkout, in a quote, invoice, order form, proposal, or other written purchase agreement. Those purchase-specific terms are incorporated into these Terms. Payments may be processed by a third-party payment provider, and your use of that provider may be subject to its terms and privacy policy.
If a school, district, or organization purchases multiple seats, the purchasing organization is responsible for payment and for assigning seats only to authorized users. Except where prohibited by law or stated otherwise in purchase-specific terms, unused, unassigned, or partially completed access does not automatically create a right to a refund or credit. Contact info@dianesweeney.com with billing or refund questions.
4. Course Access and Availability
Course access begins and continues for the period described at purchase, in the applicable order documents, or in communications assigning access. We may make reasonable updates to course content, features, presentation, and technology. We may temporarily interrupt access for maintenance, security, updates, circumstances outside our reasonable control, or to protect the Course Site and its users. We do not guarantee that every feature or third-party resource will remain available indefinitely.
5. Limited License and Permitted Use
Subject to these Terms and payment of applicable fees, we grant each authorized participant a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to access the purchased or assigned course for educational and professional-development purposes during the applicable access period.
You may download or print course materials only when the Course Site makes them available for that purpose. Downloaded materials may be used by the authorized participant for personal professional learning and, where the material expressly permits it, for noncommercial educational use within the participant’s school or organization. Any separate license or permission stated on a particular resource controls if it conflicts with this section.
Unless we or the applicable copyright owner give written permission, you may not reproduce, republish, sell, sublicense, distribute, publicly display, record, scrape, systematically download, modify, remove ownership notices from, or create derivative commercial products from course content. You may not share login credentials, course videos, restricted downloads, or paid course access with another person.
6. Acceptable Use
You may not:
- Use the Course Site unlawfully, fraudulently, or in a way that infringes another person’s rights.
- Attempt to bypass access controls, security measures, course requirements, or account restrictions.
- Interfere with, damage, overload, probe, scan, or introduce malicious code into the Course Site.
- Use automated tools to access, copy, scrape, or extract content or data except as expressly permitted by us.
- Impersonate another person, misrepresent affiliation, or use another participant’s account.
- Upload or submit unlawful, infringing, harmful, discriminatory, harassing, or malicious material.
7. Group and Organizational Accounts
A school, district, organization, or designated group manager may purchase, assign, and administer course seats. Authorized administrators may be able to view participants’ enrollment, progress, completion status, quiz results, certificates, or related reports. The purchasing organization is responsible for selecting authorized administrators, assigning seats appropriately, protecting administrative access, and informing participants about its own use of course-reporting information.
If your access was provided by an organization, that organization may control or request changes to the assigned seat, subject to applicable law and its agreement with us. Questions about an organization’s internal use of reports should be directed to that organization.
8. Participant Submissions and Feedback
You retain ownership of original material you submit through course activities. You grant us a limited license to host, process, display, and use that material as needed to operate the Course Site, provide support, document participation, and fulfill our obligations. Do not submit confidential student records, sensitive personal information about students or colleagues, or material you do not have authority to share.
If you voluntarily provide suggestions or feedback about the Course Site or courses, we may use that feedback without restriction or compensation, provided we do not publicly identify you without permission.
9. Intellectual Property
The Course Site and its original courses, text, videos, graphics, branding, software, organization, and other content are owned by or licensed to Diane Sweeney Consulting and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Third-party excerpts, books, articles, videos, and resources remain the property of their respective owners and may be subject to separate terms.
10. Third-Party Services and Links
The Course Site may link to or embed services operated by others, including payment, video, audio, form, document, and social-media providers. We do not control third-party services and are not responsible for their availability, content, security, or practices. Your use of a third-party service is governed by its own terms and privacy policy. A link or embed does not necessarily mean we endorse every statement, product, or practice of that provider.
11. Accessibility
We aim to make the Course Site and course materials accessible. If you encounter an accessibility barrier or need information in an alternative format, contact info@dianesweeney.com. We will make reasonable efforts to provide assistance or an accessible alternative.
12. Educational Information; No Guarantee of Results
Course content is provided for general educational and professional-development purposes. Individual results depend on many factors, and we do not guarantee a particular professional, instructional, student-learning, employment, credentialing, or financial outcome. Unless expressly stated, course completion does not confer academic credit, professional licensure, or certification by a governmental or licensing authority.
13. Disclaimers
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Course Site and course materials are provided “as is” and “as available.” We disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation or that all content will always be complete, current, or suitable for every context. Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty or right that cannot legally be excluded.
14. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Diane Sweeney Consulting and its owners, employees, contractors, and licensors will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, goodwill, or business interruption, arising from or relating to the Course Site or course materials. Our total liability for claims relating to a particular purchase will not exceed the amount paid to us for that purchase during the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim. These limitations do not apply where prohibited by law or to liability that cannot legally be limited.
15. Suspension and Termination
We may suspend or terminate access if we reasonably believe you violated these Terms, failed to pay an amount due, created a security or legal risk, infringed intellectual-property rights, or misused the Course Site. When practical, we will provide notice and an opportunity to address the issue. Upon termination, your right to access restricted course content ends, but provisions that by their nature should survive—including intellectual-property, disclaimer, liability, and governing-law provisions—will remain in effect.
16. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms to reflect changes in our services, practices, or legal obligations. We will post revised Terms on this page and update the “Last updated” date. Material changes will apply prospectively, and we will provide additional notice when required by law. Continued use after revised Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
17. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except to the extent another law must apply. Before filing a formal claim, you and Diane Sweeney Consulting agree to make a good-faith effort to resolve the matter informally by written notice. Unless applicable law requires otherwise, any legal proceeding arising from these Terms or the Course Site will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction located in or serving Denver, Colorado.
18. General Terms
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms or transfer course access without our written permission. We may assign these Terms in connection with a business reorganization or transfer. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any applicable purchase-specific written terms constitute the agreement concerning the Course Site. If purchase-specific written terms conflict with these Terms, the purchase-specific terms control for that purchase.
