Firm credit banks

The following section applies to Products purchased as part of a firm credit bank. The credits that you purchase are placed into your credit bank and can be used by any attorney that is linked to your firm account. It is your responsibility to notify us if an attorney is no longer affiliated with your firm or should no longer have access to your credit bank. Credits purchased never expire unless indicated otherwise on your invoice. Credits are debited from your credit bank when an attorney assigns a course to their CLE Cycle from within their account. Live webinars and in-person classes provided through our relationship with NYCLA cannot be used against your credit bank. If the attorney has multiple states selected in his/her CLE tracker, the course will be placed into each cycle and the credits for each state will be debited from your credit bank. We take certain measures to prevent attorneys from assigning too many credits to their CLE Cycle, but it is your responsibility to ensure that your attorneys are using the credits according to the policy of your organization. We provide a free CLE Tracker to each of your attorneys as part of their account. The CLE Tracker helps your attorneys track their progress and requirements for their CLE cycles.

CLE Tracker

After creating an account with us, downloading our app or purchasing any Product(s) from us, you will receive a free annual subscription to our CLE Tracker tool at no additional charge for applicable states for which we maintain the CLE Tracker. Your CLE Tracker subscription will remain available for your access and use even after your CLE product access expires, helping you electronically track and monitor your CLE compliance requirements. However, we do not guarantee the accuracy of the information in the CLE Tracker, and it is solely the responsibility of the attorney to determine their requirements and comply by their applicable deadlines. By continuing your free annual subscription and access to the CLE Tracker, you agree that your business relationship with us remains active, and that you may receive communications related to our Products as set forth in these terms and conditions and our Privacy Policy.

You may terminate your subscription to the CLE Tracker at any time by closing your user account with us, which may be done by sending us an email at info@nacle.com. We may discontinue availability of the CLE Tracker or any feature thereof at any time in our sole discretion and without liability or other obligation to you.

Live webinars and in-person classes provided through our relationship with NYCLA cannot be used against your credit bank. Credits are debited from your credit bank when you approve an attorney’s request for CLE credit by written or verbal confirmation. If the attorney has multiple states selected in his/her CLE tracker, the course will be placed into each cycle and the credits for each state will be debited from your credit bank. We provide a free CLE Tracker to each of your attorneys as part of their account. The CLE Tracker helps your attorneys track their progress and requirements for their CLE cycles.

Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration.

(a) BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU ARE AGREEING WITH US TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT, OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT MAY ALSO BE UNAVAILABLE OR MAY BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION. ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER PRE-EXISTING, PRESENT OR FUTURE, AND INCLUDING STATUTORY, CONSUMER PROTECTION, COMMON LAW, INTENTIONAL TORT, INJUNCTIVE AND EQUITABLE CLAIMS) BETWEEN YOU AND US ARISING FROM OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR THE PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES THROUGH THE SITE OR BY TELEPHONE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION.

(b) The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this Section 12. (The AAA Rules are available at adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section. The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to arbitrability and/or enforceability of this arbitration provision, including any unconscionability challenge or any other challenge that the arbitration provision or the Agreement is void, voidable or otherwise invalid. The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity. Any award of the arbitrator(s) will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

You may elect to opt out of this arbitration provision if you provide us with written notice of your intention to do so within 30 days of your first being subject to these terms and conditions, meaning written notice must be received from you within the earlier of 30 days of your first use of the Site after these terms and conditions have become effective upon you or your first purchase or use of a Product after these terms and conditions have become effective upon you.

The arbitral tribunal may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitral tribunal has no power to consider the enforceability of this class arbitration waiver and any challenge to the class arbitration waiver may only be raised in a court of competent jurisdiction. If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced.

Miscellaneous

No waiver of, or failure to assert by us, any term in these terms and conditions shall be deemed a waiver of such term or a waiver of any other term. If any provision of these term and conditions is held by a court or other tribunal or competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of these terms and conditions will continue in full force and effect.
