No Lifeguard-Pro Lifeguard certification of any kind is a license to practice medicine outside of the scope of practice, provide occupational medical advice, or teach lifesaving, first aid, AED or CPR. The bearer of any Lifeguard-Pro certification (“Cardholder”) is solely liable for all of his/her actions and does not hold Lifeguard-Pro, any of its instructors, employees, or agents responsible for his/her acts, omissions, negligence, battery, or breach of duty. Furthermore, Lifeguard-Pro does not guarantee, warrant, or endorse the products or services of any firm, organization, person or Cardholder. Lifeguard-Pro certification is a certificate of course completion that indicates the cardholder has satisfactorily met the specific requirements of the specific course on that date, but it is not a guarantee of competency, accuracy, or any particular result. Information about certificates is provided by the cardholder, and Lifeguard-Pro is not responsible for any incorrect or outdated information about cardholders. Lifeguard-Pro does not assume any duty to the public for the services, acts or omissions of Cardholders, or for any information about Cardholders or any other person or entity participating in or receiving professional services from Cardholder.

Prior to purchase, buyer must confirm with prospective employer and appropriate government authority that Lifeguard-Pro certification is satisfactory for buyer to work as a Lifeguard at his/her desired place of employment.

PAYMENT REFUND OF IN-PERSON TRAINING SESSION
Course Descriptions. The definition of all certification courses sold by Lifeguard-Pro, its employees, contractors, affiliates, authorized service representatives, instructors, or agents are published on the Lifeguard-Pro Select Your Course webpage; and, all purchases of these certification courses from Lifeguard-Pro are subject to these certification course definitions published on the Lifeguard-Pro Select Your Course webpage.
Type of Good. The Lifeguard-Pro In-Person Training Sessions are services which are not provided by Lifeguard-Pro. Rather, the Lifeguard-Pro In-Person Training Sessions are provided by Lifeguard-Pro certified Instructors acting as independent, third-party, authorized service providers. Consequently, the customer agrees that the customer will legally hold harmless Lifeguard-Pro, its employees, owners, operators, shareholders, or agents for any and all acts, errors, omissions, and/or representations of the In-Person Training Instructor before, during or after the In-Person Training Instructor provides the purchased In-Person Training Session to the customer.
Delivery. The Lifeguard-Pro In-Person Training Session includes an In-Person Training session provided at the location, date and time reserved in writing by the customer and approved in writing by Lifeguard-Pro and/or the In-Person Training Instructor. The In-Person Training Session is deemed to be fully delivered, when the In-Person Training Instructor arrives at the reserved location on the reserved date and time, and the In-Person Training Instructor conducts the In-Person Training Session that the customer purchased. It is the customer’s sole responsibility to ensure that all of the customer’s Lifeguard-Pro certification course candidates participate in the purchased In-Person Training Session. If one or more of the customer’s Lifeguard-Pro certification candidate’s fail to participate in the purcahsed In-Person Training Session at the reserved location on the reserved date and time, neither the customer nor the candidate(s) are entitled to any refund or rescheduled In-Person Training Session. The customer and/or candidate(s) that failed to attend the purchased In-Person Training Session at the reserved location on the reserved date and time may request the In-Person Training Instructor to conduct an additional In-Person Training Session for an additional fee to which the customer and/or candidate(s), and the In-Person Training Instructor agree.
Irrevocable Sale. Because there are travel, administrative, and other costs associated with an In-Person Training Instructor traveling to the customer’s reserved location on the reserved date and time, and conducting the purchased In-Person Training Session, neither a customer nor candidate(s) are entitled to any refund nor rescheduling of the In-Person Training Session.
Possible Refund Exceptions. We realize that exceptional circumstance can take place with regard to the character of the service purchased. Therefore, we will consider granting refunds in the following instances.
- 72-Hour Cancellation Notice. The customer and/or candidate(s) notified Lifeguard-Pro and/or the In-Person Training Instructor in writing at least 72-hours in advance of their reserved In-Person Training Session that the customer and/or candidate(s) were cancelling the reserved In-Person Training Session in its entirety. In this case, the customer or candidate(s) are entitled to a full refund of all In-Person Training fees. The customer nor candidate(s) will be entitled to any refund for their purchased Lifeguard-Pro Home-Study Course(s). The customer and/or candidate(s) will be entitled to renegotiate a new purchase of a new In-Person Training Session. However, the same price and benefits of the cancelled In-Person Training Session might not apply to any new or rescheduled In-Person Training Session.
- Instructor Did Not Provide Training. The In-Person Training Instructor was unable or unwilling to provide the purchased In-Person Training Session to the customer and/or candidate(s) on the reserved date.
LIMITATIONS OF THE LIFEGUARD-PRO CERTIFICAITON
RELEASE OF LIABILITY. The buyer, student, the student’s heirs, and legal designees agree to hold harmless Lifeguard-Pro, its owners, employees, agents, contractors, and instructors from any and all acts, errors, and omissions committed by the student while serving as a certified Lifeguard, WATER SAFETY SWM INSTRUCTOR, CPR cardholder, First Aid cardholder, or cardholder of any other Lifeguard-Pro certification. You understand that completion of this certification course does not guarantee employment with any employer. Employers may re-test prospective Lifeguard employees to whatever standard the employer deems necessary for employment or require Lifeguard employees to possess advanced training or certifications from only specific organizations or individuals. An employer’s refusal to hire the student as a Lifeguard or the student’s failure to secure employment as a Lifeguard will not entitle the student to any refund of the Lifeguard-Pro course tuition. Lifeguard-Pro does not guarantee certification acceptance in any jurisdiction or employment by any employer. Lifeguard-Pro certification does not indicate Lifeguard-Pro’s endorsement of the cardholder (student). Rather, it only signifies that the cardholder (student) has successfully completed the Lifeguard-Pro certification course.
Throughout the entire duration of the Lifeguard-Pro certification you are purchasing, the cardholder/certificant must: (1) Continuously improve, maintain and hone his/her certification course knowledge and skills; (2) Conduct himself/herself responsibly and professionally at all times while using this Lifeguard-Pro certification for employment or any other purpose; (3) Learn, obey and enforce all applicable laws, regulations, and rules governing the safe operation of any aquatic facility where he/she will use his/her Lifeguard-Pro certification for employment or other purpose; (4) Immediately cease any employment and immediately obtain the appropriate knowledge and training, if he/she becomes aware that he/she is not adequately prepared to properly respond to all foreseeable emergencies at his/her workplace; (5) Not commence using his/her Lifeguard-Pro certification for employment or other purpose, until he/she has participated in a thorough employer-lead orientation, and a comprehensive employer conducted review of all his/her Lifeguard-Pro certification knowledge and skills, which shall include, but not be limited to, facility orientation, review of all Lifeguard-Pro certification skills and knowledge, practice of emergency response procedures, practice with available emergency response equipment, and emergency response practice with fellow employees and/or staff; (6) Rehearse his/her Lifeguard-Pro certification course knowledge and skills for no less than 4.0 hours of on-site in-service training per month at his/her place of employment where he/she is using his/her Lifeguard-Pro certification as a condition of your employment or service; and, (7) On a monthly basis, review, refresh and practice all skills and knowledge contained in his/her Lifeguard-Pro certification course (including, but not limited to, course textbooks, course exams, course videos, course notes, and course physical skills). During the period that his/her Lifeguard-Pro certification is valid, if Lifeguard-Pro receives credible information that he/she has not conducted himself/herself in accordance with the conditions set forth in this paragraph, Lifeguard-Pro may immediately suspend or terminate his/her Lifeguard-Pro certification, without granting him/her a refund or the right to appeal the suspension or revocation of his/her certification.
