Preparation Materials – Refund Policy

Our notes, indices and/or other materials are sold to students enrolled in the NCA Tutor™ program on the condition that they are not to be shared, distributed, or reproduced in any form or fashion. When placing an order, you may be prompted to accept or reject the conditions once again. Lex PD reserves the right to cancel any order placed without reason. In such a case your order will be fully refunded.

Our notes, indices or other materials are sent to you via email electronically, we have no way of getting them back from you. Once your order has been placed, there are no refunds or exchanges on notes, indices, or other materials, regardless of whether you have already received them in your inbox. Please be sure to read the description of the product before making a purchase.

Notes are not to be construed as a substitute for your own studying and reading of course materials. Students should purchase the required textbooks set out in the most up to date NCA Syllabus. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are studying off of the correct materials. From time to time, the National Committee on Accreditation may update their syllabi and it is your responsibility to check that you are studying materials from the latest syllabi. We do not provide free updates to students who purchased notes based on a previous edition of a syllabus and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to provide updated notes once a syllabus is revised. Notes are provided on an "As Is" and "As Available" basis.

Class Enrollment – Refund Policy

In order to enroll in either group intensive classes or exam workshops, or private tutoring, you are required to provide Lex PD with your full name, billing address and contact details. Your personal details are covered by our privacy policy. You will also be required to provide a non-refundable deposit for each intensive class or workshop. The deposit is non-refundable under any circumstances, even if a student requests to simply switch to another class.

Each student who enrolls in our program is required to settle the balance and pay for the entire course before the start of the first class, regardless of whether they attend the class or not. Students who join the classes via video web-conferencing must ensure that they have a strong and consistent internet connection. Lex PD is not responsible if you are unable to connect to the class because of technical difficulties and your money will not be refunded in such a case. Please make sure to test out your internet connection, microphone, and video camera settings well in advance of any classes.

Recording Devices or Software

Lex PD does not permit any of its classes to be recorded, stored, and/or distributed in any form or fashion.

Canceled Courses – Refund Policy

In the event that a course has to be canceled by Lex PD for any reason (e.g. if classroom space becomes unavailable or if an instructor is ill), we will attempt to reschedule the class. If we cannot reschedule the class, your money will be fully refunded to you.
