Affiliate Program Terms & Conditions

We may revise and update these Terms of Use from time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them, and apply to all access to and use of the Services thereafter. However, any changes to the dispute resolution provisions set out in Governing Law and Jurisdiction will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have actual notice before the date the change is posted on the Site.

Your continued use of the Services following the posting of revised Terms of Use means that you accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check this page from time to time so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.

We reserve the right to withdraw or amend the Services, and any product, service or material we provide on or through the Services, in our sole discretion. From time to time, we may restrict access to some parts of the Site, or the entire Site, to users, including registered users.

You are responsible for both:

• Making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to the Services.
• Ensuring that all persons who access the Services through your internet connection or your account are aware of these Terms of Use and comply with them.

To access the Services or some of the resources it offers, you may be asked to provide certain registration details or other information. It is a condition of your use of the Services that all the information you provide on is correct, current, and complete. You agree that all information you provide to register with the Services or otherwise, including, but not limited to, through the use of any interactive features on the Virtual Academy, is governed by our Privacy Policy, and you consent to all actions we take with respect to your information consistent with our Privacy Policy.

If you chose, or are provided with, a user name, password, or any other piece of information as part of security procedures related to the Services, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any other person or entity. You also acknowledge that your account is personal to you and agree not to provide any other person with access to Services or portions of the Services using your user name, password, or other security information. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your user name or password or any other breach of security. You also agree to ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information.

We have the right to disable any user name, password, or other identifier, whether chosen by you or provided by us, at any time if, in our opinion, you have violated any provision of these Terms of Use.

VMT. The VMT offers you the opportunity to map a perpetrator’s pattern using information from one or more of your cases. Should you choose to use it, the VMT facilitates and supports your assessments, interventions, and outcomes of the case. The VMT includes eight steps, each focusing on a different mapping activity. During each step, you will enter information about your case. For each of your active cases, you will be able to:

You may choose to purchase items through our E-Store, register and pay for courses through our Virtual Academy, or purchase any subscription services offered by us.

Amount to be Charged. You agree to pay the fee specified when you register and pay for courses in the Virtual Academy, purchase items in the E-Store, and/or purchase any subscription services (plus any applicable taxes or other charges noted at checkout). Any agreement you have with your payment provider governs your use of your specified payment method.

Subscriptions. Your failure to terminate your subscription prior to the conclusion of your initial term to use the Services reaffirms that we are authorized to charge you for the renewal of the subscription. We may submit those charges for payment, and you will be responsible for such charges. This does not waive our right to seek payment directly from you.

Billing Authorization. You may be asked to provide a payment method (such as a credit, charge or debit card number) that we accept in order to register and pay for courses in the Virtual Academy, purchase items in the E-Store, purchase any subscription services, along with other payment information. This information is collected, processed and stored by a third-party payment processor, e.g., Stripe. You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use all payment method(s) that you provide in register and pay for courses in the Virtual Academy, purchase items in the E-Store, and/or purchase any subscription services. Your authorizations in this section also apply to our third-party payment processors and any other companies who act as billing agents for us, e.g., Stripe. You hereby authorize us to charge your specified payment method in accordance with the terms provided when you register and pay for courses in the Virtual Academy, purchase items in the E-Store, and/or purchase any subscription services and/or to place a hold on your payment method with respect to any unpaid charges for your registration. You authorize the issuer of your selected payment method to pay any amounts described herein without requiring a signed receipt, and you agree that these Terms shall be accepted as authorization to the issuer of the payment method to pay any amounts described herein, without requiring a signed receipt from you. You authorize us to continue to attempt to charge and/or place holds with respect to all sums described herein, or any portion thereof, to your payment method until such amounts are paid in full. You agree to provide updated payment information upon request and any time the information you previously provided is no longer valid. You acknowledge and agree that neither Safe & Together, nor any third party vendor, will have any liability whatsoever for any insufficient funds or other charges incurred by you as a result of attempts to charge, and/or place holds on, your specified payment method as contemplated by these Terms. If you provide a debit card number instead of a credit card number, you authorize all charges described herein to be applied to such debit card unless and until you provide a credit card number.

Third-Party Payment Processors. You agree to pay us, through our third-party payment processors, all charges at the prices then in effect that were presented to you at the time of registration/purchase. You agree to make payment using the payment method you provide when you set up your account. We reserve the right to correct, or to instruct our payment processors to correct, any errors or mistakes, even if payment has already been requested or received.
