CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY
Courses with In-Person Training. Cancellations made at least five (5) business days before the course start date are eligible for a full refund.

All authorized refunds will be processed via check.
Physical Product Cancellations. Physical product orders may be canceled before being delivered to a common carrier for shipment. Once delivered to the common carrier, orders are deemed to have shipped and may not be canceled.
Assessment Cancellations. Assessment cancellations must be made at least five (5) business days before the scheduled assessment date to be eligible for a refund. Any preparatory work already completed will be charged at a rate of $150.00 per hour. These charges will be deducted from any prepaid funds before calculating the refund amount.
Physical Product Returns. We do not accept returns for perishable items. Defective physical products will be exchanged for the same or similar products. Refunds are not given for defective product claims.
Transaction Fees. A transaction fee equal to the greater of ten percent (10%) of the refund amount or $50.00 USD will be charged for all refunds issued for credit card payments. For all other payment types, a flat fee of $50.00 USD will apply to all refunds.
Subscriptions and Renewals. Subscribers are responsible for monitoring their renewal payments. MissionCIT will email subscribers about upcoming renewals five (5) days before charging their credit card. Subscribers may cancel their subscription at any time up to one (1) day before the next renewal charge. For charges under $50.00, no refunds will be issued. For charges exceeding $50.00, MissionCIT may, at its discretion, issue a refund by check for the amount paid, minus a $50.00 handling fee.
Force Majeure. If MissionCIT is unable to deliver a Course or Product due to a Force Majeure Event as defined in the Force Majeure section of these Terms, MissionCIT will use commercially reasonable efforts to reschedule. If the Force Majeure Event prevents delivery for more than ninety (90) days, either party may terminate the order, and MissionCIT will refund Course fees paid for the undelivered portion, less non-recoverable costs already incurred.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF INJURY, MEDICAL, AND HEALTH RISKS
The User acknowledges and agrees that public safety related training involves inherent risks of injury. User voluntarily assumes all risks associated with participation, including but not limited to injuries, property damage, or any other harm arising from User’s presence on, in, or use of MissionCIT or third-party training equipment, apparatus, ride-alongs, or any devices used for public safety, fire, or EMS related training.
To the fullest extent permitted by Connecticut law, User agrees to release and hold harmless MissionCIT and its Partners from any and all liability for injuries, damages, or losses suffered by the User arising from ordinary negligence in connection with such participation.

For students enrolled in fire service training courses, User acknowledges being a trained or trainee fire service professional undertaking training in furtherance of professional duties, and that this release supplements but does not replace the NFPA 1582 medical evaluation attestation and the assumption of risk provisions required under the Enrollment Agreements executed in connection with course enrollment. In the event of any conflict between this section and the Enrollment Agreements, the Enrollment Agreements shall control.
The User understands that participation in First Responder courses involving in-person training may result in close contact with other students and instructors, and potential exposure to diseases, human blood, or bodily fluids. User agrees to practice precautions as advised by course materials and instructors. User hereby releases and agrees to hold harmless MCIT, its Partners, and their respective employees and agents from any and all damages resulting from such contact, to the fullest extent permitted by Connecticut law, excluding gross negligence and willful misconduct.
The User acknowledges that participation in public safety training — including EMS, Fire Service, and Emergency Management courses — involves physical activity and associated risks. User certifies that their physical condition will allow them to participate without risk to themselves or others, and acknowledges that this self-certification supplements the NFPA 1582 departmental attestation required under the Enrollment Agreements for Live Fire Training. User agrees to adhere to all instructions and safety precautions, including compliant use of Personal Protective Equipment as directed by course materials and instructors when required.
User also acknowledges that course materials may contain content that the User finds disturbing due to the nature of First Responder activities. User releases and holds harmless MissionCIT and its Partners from any claims for emotional distress arising from such content, to the fullest extent permitted by Connecticut law.
If the User is an Agency, Department, Company, Corporation, or other Entity acquiring training for its employees, contractors, or affiliated members, the User assumes responsibility for risks associated with MissionCIT training and agrees to all terms herein on behalf of its organization and staff.
MEDIA USE AND PUBLICITY RELEASE

FORCE MAJEURE
Neither Party shall be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under these Terms — except for payment obligations already due — to the extent caused by circumstances beyond that Party’s reasonable control, including acts of God, fire, flood, severe weather, epidemic, pandemic, governmental action, civil unrest, terrorism, war, labor disputes, or utility failure (“Force Majeure Event”).

DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND GOVERNING LAW
Governing Law. These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Connecticut without regard to its conflict of laws principles.
For students enrolled in Live Fire training courses, disputes arising directly from training activities, injuries, or the Enrollment Agreements shall be resolved exclusively under the dispute resolution provisions of the Enrollment Agreements.”
Negotiation. In the event of any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or any Product or Service, the Parties shall first attempt to resolve the matter through good faith negotiation for a period of thirty (30) days from the date one Party provides written notice of the dispute to the other.
Arbitration. If the dispute remains unresolved after the negotiation period, it shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect, before a single neutral arbitrator. The seat of arbitration shall be Shelton, Connecticut, or such other location as the Parties may agree in writing. The arbitrator’s award shall be final, and judgment may be entered upon it in any court having jurisdiction. The Parties shall share the costs of arbitration equally unless the arbitrator determines otherwise. The arbitrator shall determine the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision. This arbitration provision shall survive the termination of these Terms.
Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may seek emergency injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction without first exhausting the negotiation or arbitration process, where necessary to prevent irreparable harm.
Venue for Court Proceedings. To the extent any dispute proceeds in court — including for enforcement of an arbitration award or for injunctive relief — each Party irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Superior Court of the State of Connecticut, Judicial District of Ansonia-Milford at Derby, and waives any objection that such court is an inconvenient forum.
Class Action Waiver. Any arbitration or legal action under these Terms will take place on an individual basis. Class arbitrations and class, representative, or collective actions are not permitted. Each Party may bring claims against the other only in its individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any putative class, collective, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding unless both Parties agree otherwise.
Jury Trial Waiver. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE. THIS WAIVER APPLIES ONLY TO PROCEEDINGS IN COURT AND DOES NOT AFFECT THE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS ABOVE.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
i. Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and, for students enrolled in Live Fire Training, the Enrollment Agreements, set forth the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, statements, or proposals relating to such subject matter.

v. Severability. The provisions of these Terms are intended to be severable. If any provision is held to be unenforceable under any rule of law, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
vi. Assignment.
