Corporate Seat Purchase Policy

1.  Seat Purchase

  • Corporate buyers purchase seats on a per-course basis. Pricing varies by course and is defined at the time of purchase.
  • The number of seats and applicable courses are specified in the purchase agreement.
  • Seats are non-transferable across courses unless otherwise agreed in writing.

2.  Cancellation & Substitution Window (Days 1–7)

  • Buyers may cancel any or all unused seats within 7 days of purchase for a full refund.
  • Partial cancellations are permitted — buyers may retain some seats while canceling others within this window.
  • After 7 days, all purchased seats are fully owned by the buyer. No cancellation refund is available regardless of whether seats have been filled.

3.  Seat Status, Usage & Expiration

Seat Status

  • A seat is active from the date of purchase and remains active for 6 months.
  • Seats are filled by enrollment. A seat is considered filled when a learner has been identified and has accepted placement in a cohort that has either already started, or is scheduled to start within the next 30 days.

Expiration

  • Any seat that has not been filled and specifically assigned to a cohort by the 6-month expiration date is forfeited without refund.
  • Expired seats cannot be reassigned, refunded, or reinstated under any circumstances.

4.  Seat Reassignment

  • If a learner is unenrolled or drops a course through the standard drop process, the seat returns to the buyer’s available pool and may be reassigned to a new learner.
  • Reassigned seats retain the original 6-month expiration date — the expiration clock does not reset upon reassignment.
  • If a learner drops after the seat’s 6-month expiration date has passed, the seat cannot be reassigned, refunded, or reinstated. The seat agreement has lapsed regardless of prior enrollment status.

Note: Seat expiration is based on the original purchase date. Reassignment of a seat does not reset or extend the expiration clock.

5.  Transfer Policy

  • Each seat holder is entitled to one (1) transfer within the designated transfer window.
  • The transfer window is defined as [INSERT TRANSFER WINDOW, e.g., 30 days prior to cohort start].
  • Transfers apply to the individual seat holder and do not extend the seat’s expiration date.

6.  Standard Drop

  • A standard drop returns the seat to the buyer’s available pool for reassignment, provided the seat has not expired.
  • No seat refund is issued upon a standard drop.
  • If the seat’s 6-month agreement period has already elapsed at the time of the drop, the seat is non-assignable and permanently forfeited.

Note: A drop and a withdrawal are distinct actions with different outcomes for seat availability. Buyers should ensure learners and administrators understand this distinction prior to taking action. See the Buyer Reference Guide for plain-language definitions.

7.  Withdrawal

  • Withdrawals are governed by the standard withdrawal policy.
  • Upon withdrawal, the enrollee retains access to course content.
  • The seat is not refunded and is not available for reassignment following a withdrawal.

8.  Extenuating Circumstances

  • Exceptions to this policy may be considered in documented extenuating circumstances, including but not limited to medical emergencies, company closure, or force majeure events.
  • All exception requests must be submitted in writing to [DESIGNATED AUTHORITY].
  • Requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and are not guaranteed.
  • Approved exceptions do not establish precedent for future requests.
  • Any exception granted will be documented and retained on file.
