Terms of Service

The terms under which CouchCertified provides DESE-approved professional development courses.

Last updated: [DATE]

1. Who we are

CouchCertified LLC (“we”, “our”, “us”) provides DESE-approved, self-paced professional development courses to teachers.

2. Your account

You are responsible for keeping your password confidential. One person, one account. Sharing an account voids your enrollment and certificate.

3. Course access

Enrollments do not expire. You may complete a module at your own pace. The DESE-approved certificate is issued only after passing every Knowledge Check, submitting every reflection, and passing the Final Exam.

4. Payment and refunds

Prices are listed in USD on the pricing page. Payment is processed by Stripe. See our refund policy for the full terms; the short version is full refund within 7 days if you have completed no more than one Section.

5. Intellectual property

Course content (video, text, quizzes, exams) is owned by CouchCertified. You may not redistribute, republish, or resell course content. You may use your DESE certificate for license-renewal purposes.

6. Acceptable use

No bots, no scraping, no automated quiz-taking, no account sharing.

7. Disclaimer

CouchCertified courses are PDP-bearing. Whether your state accepts DESE-approved PDPs toward your license renewal is your responsibility to verify with your licensing body.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, CouchCertified’s liability is limited to the amount you paid for the course in question.
