The Institute for Integrative Nutrition (“IIN”) and the above-named student (“student” or “you”) (collectively, the “Parties”) hereby enter into this enrollment agreement (“Enrollment Agreement”) which sets forth the terms and conditions of your access to and use of (the “Program”) offered by IIN, including but not limited to, IIN’s websites and apps. By accepting this Enrollment Agreement, you agree to the terms set forth herein including the arbitration, class-action waiver, and limitation of liability provisions, and all other terms, rules, policies, regulations, and/or guidelines set forth therein. You also agree to the terms set forth in IIN’s Student Catalog and any other agreements between IIN and the student (together with the Enrollment Agreement, the “Agreements”).
The Course, Tuition, and Fees
- The total cost of the Course, as set forth in the table above, must be paid in full at the time of enrollment unless an alternative payment plan is offered by IIN and accepted by the student.
- Tuition and fee charges are subject to change at the school’s discretion. Any tuition or fee increases will become effective for the school term following student notification of the increase. All dollar amounts referenced herein are in U.S. dollars.
Cancellation and Refund Policy
This enrollment agreement may be canceled within five calendar days after the date of signing provided that the school is notified of the cancellation in writing. If such cancellation is made, the school will promptly refund in full all tuition and fees paid pursuant to the enrollment agreement and the refund shall be made no later than thirty days after cancellation. This provision shall not apply if the student has already started academic classes.
If the student is not accepted into the training program, all monies paid by the student shall be refunded. Refunds for books, supplies and consumable fees shall be made in accordance with Ohio Administrative Code section 3332-1-10.1.
Refunds for tuition and refundable fees shall be made in accordance with following provisions as established by Ohio Administrative Code section 3332-1-10:
- A student who withdraws before the first class and after the 5-day cancellation period shall be obligated for the registration fee.
- A student who starts class and withdraws before the academic term is 15% completed will be obligated for 25% of the tuition and refundable fees plus the registration fee.
- A student who starts class and withdraws after the academic term is 15% but before the academic term is 25% completed will be obligated for 50% of the tuition and refundable fees plus the registration fee.
- A student who starts class and withdraws after the academic term is 25% complete but before the academic term is 40% completed will be obligated for 75% of the tuition and refundable fees plus the registration fee.
- A student who starts class and withdraws after the academic term is 40% completed will not be entitled to a refund of the tuition and fees.
Fees for consumed items, including Software & Content License and Books & Materials are non-refundable (HCTP only). The school shall make the appropriate refund within thirty days of the date the school is able to determine that a student has withdrawn or has been terminated from a program.
IIN does not guarantee job placement.
Late Payments and Non-Payments.
In the event that IIN permits a student to pay for tuition and fees on a payment plan, IIN imposes the following policies and fees:
- Late payments are subject to a late fee in the amount of $35.00. All late fees are non-refundable.
- A student who fails to make a timely payment is not in good financial standing until such late payment is cured and may, in IIN’s sole discretion, be suspended or withdrawn from the Course and/or have their outstanding payments accelerated. IIN may refer a student to a collections agency if a payment is not received within sixty days of being due, and the student may be subject to costs and charges imposed by any such collection agency. A student who fails to make any payment within forty-five days of enrollment in a Course may be withdrawn from the Course by IIN, in its sole discretion.
Transfers.
Transfers from one cohort to another will be subject to IIN’s sole discretion and, if approved, will result in an additional transfer fee of $99.00. If a student transfers to a different cohort and then later decides to withdraw from that later cohort, the cohort in which the student consumed the most lessons or services will be used for purposes of calculating any refund.
Code of Conduct.
Students are required to comply with the Code of Conduct set forth in the Student Catalog. IIN, in its sole discretion, may determine whether you have violated the Code of Conduct, in which case, IIN may suspend or withdraw you from the Course, or take other action as IIN deems necessary.
Good Academic Standing.
Students who comply with the Code of Conduct and who satisfy all additional requirements set forth in the Agreements will be in Good Academic Standing and continue to have full access to the Course and any other resources or materials IIN may make available. Students who fail to comply with the Code of Conduct or any other requirements set forth in the Agreements will not be in Good Academic Standing and may be suspended or withdrawn from the Course, or subject to other disciplinary action, in IIN’s sole discretion.
Confidentiality.
At times, students may be invited and encouraged to share personal and/or private information with others. You agree not to disclose this information to others. By sharing such information, you acknowledge that IIN is not responsible for ensuring that others maintain the confidentiality of such information and you agree not to hold IIN liable or otherwise responsible for the disclosure of such information.
Non-Compete.
You acknowledge that IIN has invested extensive resources into developing the Course. By enrolling in the Course, you gain access to confidential information that constitutes IIN’s proprietary materials and business methods. As a result, your use of this information to compete with IIN would be unfair and would violate IIN’s legitimate business interests. Accordingly, while enrolled in the Course and for a period of one (1) year from the completion date of the Course, you agree not to compete with IIN by providing the same or similar services as IIN provides, which include, but are not limited to, developing, designing, providing, marketing, or selling a course, curriculum, or materials relating to the subject matter of the Course (“Competitive Services”). Accordingly, you will not own an interest in, operate, serve as a director or officer for, and/or otherwise work (either as employee or independent contractor) for, a school or other organization that provides Competitive Services. You acknowledge and agree that these restrictions are reasonable and necessary to protect IIN’s legitimate interests, and that IIN would not have permitted you to enroll in the Course in the absence of your agreement to comply with such restrictions. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent the student from owning shares in a publicly traded company that is registered on national exchanges or from coaching individual or group clients.
Non-Disparagement.
You agree not to disparage IIN or any of its officers, directors, or employees. For purposes of this section, “disparage” shall mean any negative statement, whether oral or written, whether in print or electronic form, including, without limitation, on any Internet site or web application such as Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, chat forums, communities, and/or message boards. You acknowledge and agree that this provision is a material term of this Enrollment Agreement, and that IIN would not have permitted you to enroll in the Course in the absence of your agreement to comply with this provision. You further acknowledge that if it becomes necessary to commence legal action to ascertain your name from an anonymous post, you will be responsible for all legal and related fees and costs associated therewith.
Course Technology.
The Course will be made available online. The Student Catalog contains additional information regarding the technology requirements necessary to participate in the Course. Students are solely responsible for ensuring they have the appropriate hardware, software, Internet access, and/or other equipment necessary to participate in the Course. IIN may provide you with limited technical support to access the Course, but in no event will such support include providing desktop computer troubleshooting (i.e., computer freezes, browser problems), assistance with third-party websites, or support with non-IIN products.

You agree to comply with any additional instructions and/or restrictions accompanying any Materials.
- IIN, in its sole discretion, may modify the Student IP License at any time, for any reason. By accessing the Course and/or using any Materials you shall be deemed to have accepted any changes to the Student IP License.
