CREDITS, COURSE COMPLETION, CERTIFICATES OF COMPLETION & CERTIFICATE DATES

Course Purchases & Credits

Courses are purchased individually or in packages. Unless otherwise provided by lawful regulatory authority, the courses you purchase do not expire on Ohio CLE Online. Unless otherwise provided by lawful regulatory authority, if you have purchased a course and have not completed it, it will not expire. You can complete the course at your own pace, although it is strongly suggested that courses purchased in a calendar year should be completed in that year.

Course Completion, Review & Expiration

There is no time limit for completing a course. Once you complete your course, which is defined as obtaining your certificate of completion, our system will allow you to go back and review the course and written materials for one year from the purchase date. At the end of the year, you will lose access to the course.

Certificates of Completion & Certificate Dates

Upon completion, you will be asked to fill out a form, confirming your information and providing feedback on the content provided. Once you’ve successfully submitted all of your information, you will be emailed a certificate or certificates (depending on the type and number of licenses you hold) stating that you are entitled to the continuing education credits.

A course is considered completed once you have viewed a course in its entirety and you have submitted the online evaluation form. You are responsible for fully completing each course and obtaining the certificate before your CLE compliance deadline. Certificates of completion will not be backdated for any reason. The date on your course completion certificate is the date you complete the course completion form and obtain your certificate. The date and time are based on Eastern Time.

If you hold both a law and real estate license, and give us both license numbers, you will be provided with a course completion certificate for each relevant authority

Mailing Certificates

We do not mail certificates. You will have the ability to view and print your completion certificate(s) by accessing your purchased courses in our system.

LATE REPORTING FEES

If you fail to enter your bar/license number or enter an improper bar/license number and this causes us to report your completed courses past your state’s reporting deadline causing us to incur late reporting fees, you agree that we will charge you these fees before we report your credits.

CLOSED CAPTIONING

Closed captions may be available on our streaming video courses. All closed captions were transcribed by a third-party artificial intelligence system. The captions were not manually transcribed but were checked, where practical, for accuracy or completeness by an actual person. We have tried to be as accurate as possible, but some captions may not be complete and may be inaccurate due to poor audio or transcription errors. The captions should not be considered an authoritative record of the recording.

ABOUT THESE TERMS

We may modify these terms or any additional terms that apply to our Services at any time to reflect changes to the law or changes to our Services. Declining acceptance of the new terms could cause you to lose access to the site. Changes will not apply retroactively.

If there is a conflict between these terms and the additional terms, the additional terms will control that conflict.

If any of these Terms should be determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason by any court of competent jurisdiction then such Terms shall be severed and the remaining Terms and Conditions shall survive and remain in full force and effect and continue to be binding and enforceable.

If you do not comply with these terms, and we don’t take action right away, this doesn’t mean that we are giving up any rights that we may have (such as taking action in the future).
