Enrollment Agreement
I, the applicant whose signature appears on the Application Form
that is/was part of this electronic brochure (the "Application"), acknowledge and
agree as follows, as a condition to my admission to THE BERKELEY REVIEW's MCAT
preparation course:
1. Acceptance in Course.
Although I
have indicated which session(s) of THE BERKELEY REVIEW's MCAT preparation course
I would prefer to attend on the Application, I understand that THE BERKELEY
REVIEW may, at its sole discretion, enroll me in a session other than one that I
have selected, deny me admission to THE BERKELEY REVIEW's MCAT preparation course
entirely, or take any other action on my application that THE BERKELEY REVIEW
deems appropriate. If I am admitted, the specific session of the THE BERKELEY
REVIEW's MCAT preparation course to which I am assigned is referred to in this
Agreement as the "Course."
2. Payment.
I understand that I am obligated to pay the Full Course
Tuition set forth on the Application. I understand that if I elect not to pay
the Full Course Tuition at the time of my application and instead pay the
Required Deposit set forth on the Application in order to reserve my place in the
Course, I am obligated to pay the balance of the Full Course Tuition on or before
(a) the date of the first class session of the Course, or (b) if I apply after
the first class session of the Course, the date of the first class session of the
Course following the date of my application. I understand that $125 of my
payment (whether Full Course Tuition or Required Deposit) is a non-refundable
administrative fee and that I am responsible for any assigned late fees. I
understand that THE BERKELEY REVIEW will not accept any application that is not
accompanied by payment of either the Full Course Tuition or the Required Deposit
set forth on the Application. I understand that if my check is not honored by
the bank on which it is drawn, I may be liable for damages of three times the
amount of the check (in addition to the face amount of the check) and other costs
as allowed by California Civil Code Section 1719. The minimum fee for a check
which is not honored by the bank on which it is drawn is $50.
3. Withdrawal and Refunds.
I understand that if I wish to withdraw
from the Course, I must provide THE BERKELEY REVIEW with written notice of my
intention to withdraw, and that I must mail my written notice via the US Postal
Service to: The Berkeley Review, PO Box 40140, Berkeley, CA 94704. Notification
of withdrawal by any other means (e.g., phone, email, or handing my
notification directly to an instructor or an employee of THE BEREKELEY REVIEW) will NOT be
accepted. Refunds are calculated based on the US Postal Service postmark date. I
understand that all Course materials collected must be returned in their original
condition to THE BERKELEY REVIEW before a refund will be granted. If all Course
materials are not returned, a book fee of $400 will be deducted before a refund
is issued. I understand that I shall be entitled to a refund as follows:
a. If THE BERKELEY REVIEW receives my written notice of
withdrawal prior to the first class of the Course, THE BERKELEY REVIEW shall
refund to me all amounts that I have paid up to the date that THE BERKELEY REVIEW
receives my notice of withdrawal, less the $125 non-refundable administrative fee
and any assigned late fees or book fees.
b. If THE BERKELEY
REVIEW receives my written notice of withdrawal during the first three (3) weeks
of the Course, THE BERKELEY REVIEW shall refund to me all amounts that I have
paid up to the date that THE BERKELEY REVIEW received my notice of withdrawal,
less the sum of (a) the $125 non-refundable administrative fee and any assigned
late fees or book fees, plus (b) an additional $125 administrative fee for each
week of the Course that has commenced as of the date that THE BERKELEY REVIEW
received my notice of withdrawal.
c. If THE BERKELEY REVIEW
receives my written notice of withdrawal at any time after the conclusion of the
third (3rd) week of the Course, I shall not be entitled to any refund. I
understand that the refund policy described in this paragraph 3 is for voluntary
withdrawal from the Course only, and that if I am expelled from the Course for
any reason, I shall not be entitled to any refund whatsoever.
4. Rules and Regulations/Expulsion.
I understand that THE BERKELEY
REVIEW may make, and I agree to obey, reasonable rules and regulations for the
conduct of classes and other aspects of the Course. I understand that if, in THE
BERKELEY REVIEW's discretion, my behavior violates those rules and regulations or
otherwise interferes with the orderly conduct of the Course, I may be expelled
from the Course.
5. Right to Repeat Course/No Warranties.
I understand that THE
BERKELEY REVIEW makes no warranties, express or implied, as to my ultimate
performance on the MCAT after completing the Course. I further hereby waive any
claim that I may now or in the future have against THE BERKELEY REVIEW, including
(but not limited to) any claim relating to my performance on the MCAT, the
conduct of the Course, the content of materials distributed during the Course, or
events occurring before, during, or after class sessions of the Course. I agree
that if I am dissatisfied with my performance on the MCAT after completing the
Course, THE BERKELEY REVIEW's sole liability to me shall be to provide me with
the opportunity to attend another session of THE BERKELEY REVIEW's MCAT
preparation course at a reduced rate to be established by THE BERKELEY REVIEW at
its sole discretion. I further agree that THE BERKELEY REVIEW shall have no
obligation to allow me to attend another session of the MCAT preparation course
at a reduced rate as described in the previous sentence unless (a) I first
present to THE BERKELEY REVIEW for inspection my original official MCAT score
report, (b) I attended at least 90% of the class sessions of the Course, (c) the
official score report that I present to THE BERKELEY REVIEW is for the MCAT
administration that I selected on the Application, (d) the session of THE
BERKELEY REVIEW's MCAT preparation course that I am seeking to attend at a
reduced rate is one of the sessions offered to prepare for the MCAT
administration immediately following the MCAT administration that I selected on
the Application, (e) there is, at THE BERKELEY REVIEW's sole discretion, space
available in the session to accommodate me, and (f) I have not previously
attended a session of THE BERKELEY REVIEW's MCAT preparation course at a reduced
rate pursuant to this paragraph 5. The minimum fee for repeating the Course
within the first year after initial enrollment is $475. The minimum fee for
repeating the Course during the second year after initial enrollment is $675. The
minimum fee for repeating the Course during the third year after initial
enrollment is $875. The minimum fee for repeating the Course during the fourth year after initial
enrollment is $1,075. After the fourth year the full course tuition must be paid in
order to enroll in THE BERKELEY REVIEW. Course materials ARE NOT included in the
repeat fee.
6. Copyrighted Materials.
I understand that the
materials that I will receive during the Course are protected by all applicable
copyright, trademark, and unfair competition laws and that any unauthorized use
of those materials (including, without limitation, copying or redistributing
them) without the written consent of the copyright or trademark owner could
subject me to civil or criminal penalties, or both.
7. Collection/Attorneys' Fees.
If THE BERKELEY REVIEW is required
to assign any claim under this Agreement for collection, I agree to pay, in
addition to any other sum that I am required to pay under this Agreement, any
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by THE BERKELEY REVIEW in such collection
efforts. In the event of any action or proceeding arising under or relating to
this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all of its
costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees
incurred in any such action or proceeding, or in the appeal or enforcement of any
judgment attained therein) incurred in connection therewith, regardless of
whether the action or proceeding proceeds to final judgment.
