The minimum participation requirement applies separately to each individual course enrollment. Participants enrolled in multiple courses must satisfy the minimum participation period for each course consecutively and not concurrently. For example, enrollment in two courses requires a minimum of eighteen (18) total calendar days of participation, with at least nine (9) focused calendar days dedicated to each course.

The minimum participation period reflects required learner engagement time only and does not include instructor evaluation or feedback time. Instructor review and feedback may require up to seven (7) calendar days from the date coursework is submitted for evaluation.

By registering for a course, participants acknowledge and agree to comply with all applicable course pacing, participation, and evaluation timelines established by PDI and its university partners. This approach supports steady progress, deeper comprehension, and retention of key concepts.

The limitations of liability provided in these Terms inure to the benefit of PDI, the PDI affiliates and/or their respective suppliers.

Remedies

You understand and agree that any unauthorized use of our Platform would result in irreparable injury to us for which money damages would be inadequate, and in such event we will have the right, in addition to other remedies available at law and in equity, to immediate injunctive relief against you. Nothing contained in this paragraph or elsewhere in these Terms shall be construed to limit remedies or relief available pursuant to statutory or other claims that we may have under separate legal authority, including but not limited to, any claim for intellectual property infringement.

U.S. Government Restricted Rights

All Materials supplied by or through our Platform are provided with “RESTRICTED RIGHTS.” Use, duplication, or disclosure by the U.S. Government is subject to restrictions as set forth in FAR52.22724 and DFAR252.227-7013 et seq. or its successor. Use of any of such by the Government constitutes acknowledgment of our and its licensors’ proprietary rights therein. In the event that the Terms, or any part thereof, is deemed inconsistent with the minimum rights identified in the Restricted Right provisions, the minimum rights shall prevail.

Governing Law, Venue and Jurisdiction
