Desperation exposes the untrained. But for you, it’s just another data set. The more unpredictable the world becomes, the more predictable your target gets. That’s the edge.
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) were last updated on – Sunday, September 13, 2026.
PI Course’s mission is to improve professional skills through learning.
P.I. course.ca mission is to improve professional skills through learning. We also enable anyone, anywhere, to create and share educational content (instructors) and to access that educational content to learn (students). We consider our platform model the best way to offer valuable educational content to our users. We need rules to keep our platform and services safe for you, us, and our student and instructor community. These Terms apply to all your activities on the P.I. course website, the P.I. course mobile applications, our TV applications, our APIs, and other related services (“Services”).
If you decide to publish a course on the P.I. course platform, you are required to accept the Instructor Terms. We also provide details regarding the processing of personal data of our students and instructors in our Privacy Policy. If you are using the P.I. course as part of your employer’s P.I. course Business Learning and Development program, you can consult our PI course Business Privacy Statement.
If you live in the United States or Canada, by agreeing to these Terms, you agree to resolve disputes with PI course through binding arbitration (with very limited exceptions, not in court), and you waive certain rights to participate in class actions, as detailed in the Dispute Resolution section.
You need an account for most activities on our platform. Keep your password somewhere safe, because you’re responsible for all activity associated with your account. If you suspect someone else is using your account, let us know by contacting our Support Team. You must have reached the age of consent for online services in your country to use PI course.
You need an account for most activities on our platform, including to purchase and access content or to submit content for publication. When setting up and maintaining your account, you must provide and continue to provide accurate and complete information, including a valid email address. You have complete responsibility for your account and everything that happens on your account, including for any harm or damage (to us or anyone else) caused by someone using your account without your permission. This means you need to be careful with your password. You may not transfer your account to someone else or use someone else’s account. If you contact us to request access to an account, we will not grant you such access unless you can provide us with the information that we need to prove you are the owner of that account. In the event of the death of a user, the account of that user will be closed.
You may not share your account login credentials with anyone else. You are responsible for what happens with your account and PI course will not intervene in disputes between students or instructors who have shared account login credentials. You must notify us immediately upon learning that someone else may be using your account without your permission (or if you suspect any other breach of security) by contacting our Support Team. We may request some information from you to confirm that you are indeed the owner of your account.
Students and instructors must be at least 18 years of age to create an account on PI course and use the Services. If you are younger than 18 but above the required age for consent to use online services where you live (for example, 13 in the US or 16 in Ireland), you may not set up an account, but we encourage you to invite a parent or guardian to open an account and help you access content that is appropriate for you. If you are below this age of consent to use online services, you may not create a PI course account. If we discover that you have created an account that violates these rules, we will terminate your account. Under our Instructor Terms, you may be requested to verify your identity before you are authorized to submit content for publication on P.I. course.
You can terminate your account at any time by following the steps here. Check our Privacy Policy to see what happens when you terminate your account.
When you make a payment, you agree to use a valid payment method. If you aren’t happy with your content, P.I. course.ca offers a 36-hour refund or credit for most content purchases due to the nature of the content.
3.1 Pricing
The prices of content on P.I. course.ca are determined based on the terms of the Instructor Terms. In some instances, the price of the content offered on the P.I. course.ca website may not be exactly the same as the price offered on our mobile or TV applications, due to mobile platform providers’ pricing systems and their policies around implementing sales and promotions.
We occasionally run promotions and sales for our content, during which certain content is available at discounted prices for a set period of time. The price applicable to the content will be the price at the time you complete your purchase of the content (at checkout). Any price offered for particular content may also be different when you are logged into your account from the price available to users who aren’t registered or logged in, because some of our promotions are available only to new users.
If you are logged into your account, the listed currency you see is based on your location when you created your account. If you are not logged into your account, the price currency is based on the country where you are located. We do not enable users to see pricing in other currencies.
If you are a student located in a country where use and sales tax, goods and services tax, or value-added tax is applicable to consumer sales, we are responsible for collecting and remitting that tax to the proper tax authorities. Depending on your location, the price you see may include such taxes, or tax may be added at checkout.
3.2 Payments
You agree to pay the fees for content that you purchase, and you authorize us to charge your debit or credit card or process other means of payment (such as Boleto, SEPA, direct debit, or mobile wallet) for those fees. PI course works with payment service providers to offer you the most convenient payment methods in your country and to keep your payment information secure. We may update your payment methods using information provided by our payment service providers. Check out our Privacy Policy for more details.
When you make a purchase, you agree not to use an invalid or unauthorized payment method. If your payment method fails and you still get access to the content you are enrolling in, you agree to pay us the corresponding fees within thirty (36) hours of notification from us. We reserve the right to disable access to any content for which we have not received adequate payment.
3.3 Refunds and Refund Credits
If the course isn’t what you expected, you’re protected.
You can request a full refund within 36 hours of purchase — as long as you haven’t completed more than 20% of the course (watched, read, or otherwise interacted with). Your progress is automatically tracked, and if you’re under 20%, you’re eligible.
Refunds are typically issued back to your original payment method, not as course credit — unless restricted by the platform or payment provider. In some cases, a small processing fee may apply, as we cannot absorb transaction costs on reversed purchases.
This guarantee does not apply to Subscription Plan purchases (see Section 8.4 for details).
After the 36-hour window, refunds are generally not available. However, if a course is removed for legal or policy reasons, you are entitled to a refund regardless of progress. PI Course also reserves the right to issue refunds beyond the 36-hour limit in cases of confirmed fraud or account abuse.
To request a refund, please email support@picourse.ca. As detailed in the Instructor Terms, instructors agree that students have the right to receive these refunds.
If we decide to issue refund credits to your account, they will be automatically applied towards your next content purchase on our website, but can’t be used for purchases in our mobile or TV applications. Refund credits may expire if not used within the specified period and have no cash value, in each case unless otherwise required by applicable law.
At our discretion, if we believe you are abusing our refund policy, such as if you’ve consumed a significant portion of the content that you want to refund or if you’ve previously refunded the content, we reserve the right to deny your refund, restrict you from other future refunds, ban your account, and/or restrict all future use of the Services. If we ban your account or disable your access to the content due to your violation of these Terms or our Trust & Safety Guidelines, you will not be eligible to receive a refund.
Progress tracking and refund eligibility are based on measurable course interaction and completion metrics and are independent of Assigned Professional Development (PD) Training Hours as defined in Section 3.7.
3.4 Gift and Promotional Codes
P.I. course.ca or our partners may offer gift and promotional codes to students. Certain codes may be redeemed for gift or promotional credits applied to your PI course account, which then may be used to purchase eligible content on our platform, subject to the terms included with your codes. Other codes may be directly redeemable for specific content. Gift and promotional credits can’t be used for purchases in our mobile or TV applications.
These codes and credits, as well as any promotional value linked to them, may expire if not used within the period specified in your PI course account. Gift and promotional codes offered by P.I. Course.ca course may not be refunded for cash, unless otherwise specified in the terms included with your codes or as required by applicable law. Gift and promotional codes offered by a partner are subject to that partner’s refund policies. If you have multiple saved credit amounts, P.I. Course.ca may determine which of your credits to apply to your purchase. Check out our Support Page and any terms included with your codes for more details.
3.5 Course Access & Lifetime Use
When you purchase a course, you are granted lifetime access to the course materials included at the time of your enrollment. “Lifetime access refers to the availability of the course on our platform and supports access for as long as the course remains published and technically supported by PI Course.”
This access does not include future courses, updated modules, or newly released content outside of the course(s) you registered for, unless otherwise stated at the time of purchase.
P.I. Course reserves the right to update, replace, or remove content to maintain legal, educational, or technical accuracy, or to retire courses no longer aligned with our platform standards.
3.6 Identity Verification Requirements
All students are required to submit valid government-issued photo identification during the account creation process. This is a mandatory condition of enrollment and access to any course offered by P.I. Course.
If you attempt to bypass, delay, or refuse to complete the identity verification step, you are in direct violation of these Terms of Use. This constitutes a breach of contract, and will result in:
Immediate and permanent suspension of your account
Forfeiture of any payment made
No access to course materials
Refund eligibility may be denied where identity verification is not completed, except where prohibited by applicable law.
This requirement is in place to prevent misuse of powerful investigative skills—such as surveillance, OSINT gathering, and deception detection—which, in the wrong hands, can be used for harassment, stalking, or other unlawful behaviour.
We reserve the right to enforce this policy without exception. Your registration and payment indicate agreement to these terms.
3.7 Training Hours and Professional Development (PD) Hour Definitions
Course Duration means the approximate instructional runtime of the course content made available on the platform, including video lessons, written lessons, and included instructional materials.
Assigned Professional Development (PD) Training Hours means the estimated total time a typical learner would reasonably spend to understand, practice, and apply course content in professional investigative work. Assigned PD hours are not limited to instructional runtime and may include reasonable time spent on review, repetition for comprehension, assessments, and applied practice.
Assigned PD hours are determined based on instructional scope, technical complexity, assessment requirements, and the applied learning necessary to reach functional competency. Individual completion time may be shorter or longer depending on prior experience, learning pace, and engagement.
Assigned PD hours may reasonably include time associated with:
reviewing instructional lessons and demonstrations
re-watching technical or analytical material for comprehension
completing assessments, quizzes, and knowledge checks
applying course standards to simulated or active investigative work
practicing structured documentation, reporting, and decision-making methods
implementing investigative workflows and operational procedures
referencing course material during real investigations as a professional aid
Assigned PD hours are estimates only and do not represent guaranteed completion time for any individual learner. Certificates may reference Assigned PD hours as the verified professional development allocation for the training program, subject to successful completion requirements and platform verification.
Assigned PD hours reflect average engagement and applied learning expectations; individual completion times will vary.
Professional skill development is inherently linked to practical field implementation. Accordingly, Assigned Professional Development (PD) hours may include reasonable time associated with the applied use and integration of course concepts within real or simulated investigative environments.
You can only use PI course for lawful purposes. You’re responsible for all the content that you post on our platform. You should keep the reviews, questions, posts, courses and other content you upload. We can ban your account for repeated or major offences. If you think someone is infringing your copyright on our platform, let us know.
You may not access or use the Services or create an account for unlawful purposes. Your use of the Services and behaviour on our platform must comply with applicable local or national laws or regulations of your country. You are solely responsible for knowing of and complying with such laws and regulations that are applicable to you.
If you are a student, the Services enable you to ask questions to the instructors of courses or other content you are enrolled in, and to post reviews of content. For certain content, the instructor may invite you to submit content as “homework” or tests. Don’t post or submit anything that is not yours.
If you are an instructor, you can submit content for publication on the platform and you can also communicate with the students who have enrolled in your courses or other content. In both cases, you must abide by the law and respect the rights of others: you cannot post any course, question, answer, review or other content that violates applicable local or national laws or regulations of your country. You are solely responsible for any courses, content, and actions you post or take via the platform and Services and their consequences. Make sure you understand all the copyright restrictions set forth in the Instructor Terms before you submit any content for publication on PI course.
If we are put on notice that your course or content violates the law or the rights of others (for example, if it is established that it violates the intellectual property or image rights of others, or is about an illegal activity), if we discover that your content or behaviour violates our Terms of Service, or if we believe your content or behaviour is unlawful, inappropriate, or objectionable (for example if you impersonate someone else), we may remove your content from our platform. P.I. course.ca complies with copyright laws.
P.I. course.ca reserves the right to enforce these Terms and our Terms of Service. We may restrict or terminate your permission to use our platform and Services, or ban your account at any time, with or without notice, for any or no reason. This includes violations of these Terms, failure to pay fees, fraudulent chargeback requests, requests from law enforcement or government agencies, extended periods of inactivity, unexpected technical issues, suspicion of fraudulent or illegal activities, or any other reason at our sole discretion. Upon termination, we may delete your account and content, and prevent further access to the platforms and use of our Services. Your content may still be available on the platforms even if your account is terminated or suspended. By using our platform, you agree that we will have no liability to you or any third party for termination of your account, removal of your content, or blocking of your access to our platforms and services.
If a user has published content that infringes your copyright or trademark rights, please let us know. Our Instructor Terms require our instructors to follow the law and respect the intellectual property rights of others.
4.1 Student Conduct Expectations
All students are expected to behave professionally and respectfully within the P.I. Course platform and community.
This includes any communication in course forums, group discussions, live events, or messaging with instructors.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access without refund for behaviour that includes harassment, stalking, doxxing, hate speech, or any conduct that disrupts the learning environment or violates applicable law.
You retain ownership of content you post to our platform, including your courses. We’re allowed to share your content to anyone through any media, including promoting it via advertising on other websites.
The content you post as a student or instructor (including courses) remains yours. By posting courses and other content, you allow PI course to reuse and share it but you do not lose any ownership rights you may have over your content. If you are an instructor, be sure to understand the content licensing terms that are detailed in the Instructor Terms.
When you post content, comments, questions, reviews, and when you submit to us ideas and suggestions for new features or improvements, you authorize PI course to use and share this content with anyone, distribute it and promote it on any platform and in any media, and to make modifications or edits to it as we see fit.
In legal language, by submitting or posting content on or through the platforms, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display, and distribute your content (including your name and image) in any and all media or distribution methods (existing now or later developed). This includes making your content available to other companies, organizations, or individuals who partner with PI course for the syndication, broadcast, distribution, or publication of content on other media, as well as using your content for marketing purposes. You also waive any rights of privacy, publicity, or other rights of a similar nature applicable to all these uses, to the extent permissible under applicable law. You represent and warrant that you have all the rights, power, and authority necessary to authorize us to use any content that you submit. You also agree to all such uses of your content with no compensation paid to you.
Anyone licenced as a PI in Ontario or where a licence is provided to PI course.ca can use PI course to create and publish content and instructors and we enable instructors and students to interact for teaching and learning. Like other platforms where people can post content and interact, some things can go wrong, and you use PI course at your own risk.
Our platform model means we do not review or edit the content for legal issues, and we are not in a position to determine the legality of content. We do not exercise any editorial control over the content that is available on the platform and, as such, do not guarantee in any manner the reliability, validity, accuracy, or truthfulness of the content. If you access content, you rely on any information provided by an instructor at your own risk.
By using the Services, you may be exposed to content that you consider offensive, indecent, or objectionable. PI course has no responsibility to keep such content from you and no liability for your access or enrollment in any course or other content, to the extent permissible under applicable law. This also applies to any content relating to health, wellness, and physical exercise. You acknowledge the inherent risks and dangers in the strenuous nature of these types of content, and by accessing such content you choose to assume those risks voluntarily, including risk of illness, bodily injury, disability, or death. You assume full responsibility for the choices you make before, during, and after your access to the content.
When you interact directly with a student or an instructor, you must be careful about the types of personal information that you share. While we restrict the types of information instructors may request from students, we do not control what students and instructors do with the information they obtain from other users on the platform. You should not share your email or other personal information about you for your safety.
We do not hire or employ instructors nor are we responsible or liable for any interactions involved between instructors and students. We are not liable for disputes, claims, losses, injuries, or damage of any kind that might arise out of or relate to the conduct of instructors or students.
When you use our Services, you will find links to other websites that we don’t own or control. We are not responsible for the content or any other aspect of these third-party sites, including their collection of information about you. You should also read their terms and conditions and privacy policies.
P.I. Course training is designed for educational purposes and general professional development. It is not legal advice. Licensing requirements for private investigators vary by jurisdiction, and course completion does not imply or guarantee certification, licensing, or employment. Users are responsible for verifying licensing standards and legal obligations in their region prior to applying course material in real-world investigations.
Training Hours and PD Hours:
Training duration and Assigned Professional Development (PD) hours may vary depending on learner experience, investigative background, learning pace, repetition of material, and the extent to which course concepts are applied in practice.
Course Duration reflects approximate instructional runtime, while Assigned PD Training Hours represent the broader learning engagement reasonably required to understand, practice, and apply investigative concepts in professional settings. As investigative training involves comprehension, reflection, and applied skill development, completion time will naturally differ between learners.
Assigned PD hours are estimates only and are not intended to represent fixed completion time or passive viewing (“seat time”). Full definitions and methodology governing Course Duration and Assigned PD Hours are set out in Section 3.7.
These courses do not provide government licensing, but rather the skills required to get hired and act effectively in the field once licensed.
Licensing requirements for private investigators vary by jurisdiction, and course completion does not imply or guarantee certification, licensing, or employment.
Users are responsible for verifying licensing standards and legal obligations in their region prior to applying course material in real-world investigations.
We own the PI course platform and Services, including the website, present or future apps and services, and things like our logos, API, code, and content created by our employees. You can’t tamper with those or use them without authorization.
All right, title, and interest in and to the PI course platform and Services, including our website, our existing or future applications, our APIs, databases, and the content our employees or partners submit or provide through our Services (but excluding content provided by instructors and students) are and will remain the exclusive property of PI course and its licensors. Our platforms and services are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws of both the United States and foreign countries. Nothing gives you a right to use the PI course name or any of the PI course trademarks, logos, domain names, and other distinctive brand features. Any feedback, comments, or suggestions you may provide regarding PI course or the Services is entirely voluntary and we will be free to use such feedback, comments, or suggestions as we see fit and without any obligation to you.
You may not do any of the following while accessing or using the PI course platform and Services:
This section covers additional terms that apply to your use of our subscription-based collections as a student (“Subscription Plans”). By using a Subscription Plan, you agree to the additional terms in this section. Note that use of PI course Business is not subject to these Terms, but is instead governed by the agreement between PI course and the subscribing organization.
8.1 Subscription Plans
During your subscription to a Subscription Plan, you get a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license from us to access and view the content included in that Subscription Plan via the Services. With the exception of the lifetime access license grant, the terms included in the “Content Enrollment and Lifetime Access” section above apply to enrollments via Subscription Plans.
The subscription that you purchase or renew determines the scope, features, and price of your access to a Subscription Plan. You may not transfer, assign, or share your subscription with anyone else.
We reserve the right to revoke any license to use the content in our Subscription Plans for legal or policy reasons at any time and at our sole discretion, such as if we no longer have the right to offer the content through a Subscription Plan. Additional information on our right to revoke is included in the “Content Enrollment and Lifetime Access” section.
8.2 Account Management
You may cancel your subscription by following the steps outlined on our Support Page. If you cancel your subscription to a Subscription Plan, your access to that Subscription Plan will automatically end on the last day of your billing period. On cancellation, you will not be entitled to receive a refund or credit of any fees already paid for your subscription, unless otherwise required by applicable law. For clarity, cancellation of a subscription does not terminate your PI course account.
8.3 Free Trials & Renewals
Your subscription may start with a free trial. The duration of the free trial period of your subscription will be specified during sign-up. PI course determines free trial eligibility at our sole discretion and may limit eligibility or duration. We reserve the right to terminate the free trial and suspend your subscription if we determine that you aren’t eligible.
We will charge the subscription fee for your next billing cycle at the end of the free trial period. Your subscription will automatically renew according to your subscription settings (e.g., monthly or annually) unless you cancel your subscription prior to the end of the free trial period. For more information on how to view applicable fees and dates of your free trial period, visit our Support Page.
8.4 Payments and Billing
The subscription fee will be listed at the time of your purchase. You can visit our Support Page to learn more about where to find the fees and dates applicable to your subscription. We may also be required to add taxes to your subscription fee as described in the “Payments, Credits, and Refunds” section above. Payments are non-refundable, and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods unless otherwise required by applicable law. Depending on where you are located, you may qualify for a refund. See our Refund Policy.
To subscribe to a Subscription Plan, you must provide a payment method. By subscribing to a Subscription Plan and providing your billing information during checkout, you grant us and our payment service providers the right to process payment for the then-applicable fees via the payment method we have on record for you. At the end of each subscription term, we will automatically renew your subscription for the same length of term and process your payment method for payment of the then-applicable fees.
In the event that we update your payment method using information provided by our payment service providers (as described in the “Payments, Credits, and Refunds” section above), you authorize us to continue to charge the then-applicable fees to your updated payment method.
If we are unable to process payment through the payment method we have on file for you, or if you file a chargeback disputing charges made to your payment method and the chargeback is granted, we may suspend or terminate your subscription.
We reserve the right to change our Subscription Plans or adjust pricing for our Services at our sole discretion. Any price changes or changes to your subscription will take effect following notice to you, except as otherwise required by applicable law.
8.5 Subscription Disclaimers
We make no guarantees as to the availability of any specific content in any Subscription Plan or as to any minimum amount of content in any Subscription Plan. At any point in the future, we reserve the right to offer or cease to offer additional features to any Subscription Plan, or to otherwise modify or terminate a Subscription Plan at our sole discretion. These disclaimers are in addition to those listed in the “Disclaimers” section below.
These Terms are like any other contract, and they have boring but important legal terms that protect us from the countless things that could happen and that clarify the legal relationship between us and you.
These Terms are like any other contract, and they have boring but important legal terms that protect us from the countless things that could happen and that clarify the legal relationship between us and you.
9.1 Binding Agreement
You agree that by registering, accessing, or using our Services, you are agreeing to enter into a legally binding contract with PI course. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not register, access, or otherwise use any of our Services.

These Terms (including any agreements and policies linked from these Terms) constitute the entire agreement between you and us (which include, if you are an instructor, the Instructor Terms).
If any part of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by applicable law, then that provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of these Terms will continue in effect.
Even if we are delayed in exercising our rights or fail to exercise a right in one case, it doesn’t mean we waive our rights under these Terms, and we may decide to enforce them in the future. If we decide to waive any of our rights in a particular instance, it doesn’t mean we waive our rights generally or in the future.
The following sections shall survive the expiration or termination of these Terms: Sections 2 (Content Enrollment and Lifetime Access), 5 (PI course’s Rights to Content You Post), 6 (Using PI course at Your Own Risk), 7 (PI course’s Rights), 8.5 (Subscription Disclaimers), 9 (Miscellaneous Legal Terms), and 10 (Dispute Resolution).
9.2 Disclaimers

Your indemnification obligation will survive the termination of these Terms and your use of the Services.
9.5 Governing Law and Jurisdiction

If you become subject to such a restriction during the term of any agreement with P.I. course.ca, you will notify us within 24 hours, and we will have the right to terminate any further obligations to you, effective immediately and with no further liability to you (but without prejudice to your outstanding obligations to P.I. course.ca).
You may not access, use, export, re-export, divert, transfer or disclose any portion of the Services or any related technical information or materials, directly or indirectly, in violation of any Canadian and other applicable country export control and trade sanctions laws, rules and regulations. You agree not to upload any content or technology (including information on encryption) whose export is specifically controlled under such laws.
9.10 Platform Evolution
P.I. Course reserves the right to evolve its course formats, platform features, and training structures to meet modern standards in investigative education.
This may include adding or retiring content, updating delivery methods, or restructuring programs to maintain platform relevance, effectiveness, or legal compliance.
If there’s a dispute, our Support Team is happy to help resolve the issue. If that doesn’t work and you live in the United States or Canada, your options are to go to small claims court or bring a claim in binding arbitration; you may not bring that claim in another court or participate in a non-individual class action claim against us.
This Dispute Resolution section applies only if you live in the United States or Canada. Most disputes can be resolved, so before bringing a formal legal case, please first try contacting our Support Team.
10.1 Small Claims
Either of us can bring a claim in small claims court in (a) Ontario, Canada.
10.2 Going to Arbitration
If we can’t resolve our dispute amicably, you and P.I. course.ca agree to resolve any claims related to these Terms (or our other legal terms) through final and binding arbitration, regardless of the type of claim or legal theory. If one of us brings a claim in court that should be arbitrated and the other party refuses to arbitrate it, the other party can ask a court to force us both to go to arbitration (compel arbitration). Either of us can also ask a court to halt a court proceeding while an arbitration proceeding is ongoing.
10.3 The Arbitration Process
Any disputes that involve a claim of less than $10,000 CAD must be resolved exclusively through binding non-appearance-based arbitration. A party electing arbitration must initiate proceedings by filing an arbitration demand with the International Centre for Dispute Resolution® (ICDR®) International Arbitration and Mediation Rules. The arbitration proceedings shall be governed by the ICDR Canada Rules, Consumer Due Process Protocol, and Supplementary Procedures for Resolution of Consumer-Related Disputes. You and we agree that the following rules will apply to the proceedings: (a) the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online, or based solely on written submissions (at the choice of the party seeking relief); (b) the arbitration must not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses (unless we and you agree otherwise); and (c) any judgment on the arbitrator’s rendered award may be entered in any court with competent jurisdiction. Disputes that involve a claim of more than $10,000 CAD must be resolved per the ICDR Canada rules about whether the arbitration hearing has to be in-person.
10.4 No Class Actions
We both agree that we can each only bring claims against the other on an individual basis. This means: (a) neither of us can bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class action, consolidated action, or representative action; (b) an arbitrator can’t combine multiple people’s claims into a single case (or preside over any consolidated, class, or representative action); and (c) an arbitrator’s decision or award in one person’s case can only impact that user, not other users, and can’t be used to decide other users’ disputes. If a court decides that this “No class actions” clause isn’t enforceable or valid, then this “Dispute Resolution” section will be null and void, but the rest of the Terms will still apply.
10.5 Changes
Notwithstanding the “Updating these Terms” section below, if P.I. course.ca changes this “Dispute Resolution” section after the date you last indicated acceptance to these Terms, you may reject any such change by providing P.I. course.ca written notice of such rejection by mail or hand delivery to P.I. course.ca Attn: Legal, 950 Franklin BLVD, Ontario, Canada P.O. Box 33008, or by email from the email address associated with your Account to notices@PI course.com, within 36 hours or every dispute against P.I. Course.ca is rendered unenforceable, now or, in the future of the date such change became effective, as indicated by the “last updated on” language above. To be effective, the notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to reject changes to this “Dispute Resolution” section. By rejecting changes, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between you and P.I. course.ca in accordance with the provisions of this “Dispute Resolution” section as of the date you last indicated acceptance to these Terms.
From time to time, we may update these Terms to clarify our practices or to reflect new or different practices (such as when we add new features), and P.I. course.ca reserves the right in its sole discretion to modify and/or make changes to these Terms at any time. If we make any material change, we will notify you using prominent means, such as by email notice sent to the email address specified in your account or by posting a notice through our Services. Modifications will become effective on the day they are posted unless stated otherwise.
Your continued use of our Services after changes become effective shall mean that you accept those changes, should you not accept any such terms we provide by checking the check boxes provided, this is acceptance of the terms by you. Any revised Terms shall supersede all previous Terms.
The best way to get in touch with us is to contact our Support Team. We’d love to hear your questions, concerns, and feedback about our Services.
Thanks for supporting us!

Thank you for joining P.I. Course. We at P.I. Course (“picourse.ca”, “we”, “us”) respect your privacy and want you to understand how we collect, use, and share data about you. This Privacy Policy covers our data collection practices and describes your rights regarding your personal data.
Unless we link to a different policy or state otherwise, this Privacy Policy applies when you visit or use the P.I. Course and BusinessU websites, mobile applications, APIs, or related services, including BusinessU Open (the “Services”). It also applies to prospective customers of our business and enterprise products.
By using the Services, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. You shouldn’t use the Services if you don’t agree with this Privacy Policy or any other agreement that governs your use of the Services.
We collect certain data from you directly, like information you enter yourself, data about your consumption of content, and data from third-party platforms you connect with PI course.ca. We also collect some data automatically, like information about your device and what parts of our Services you interact with or spend time using.
We may collect different data from or about you depending on how you use the Services. Below are some examples to help you better understand the data we collect.
When you create an account and use the Services, including through a third-party platform, we collect any data you provide directly, including:
|
Account Data |
In order to use certain features (like accessing content), you need to create a user account which requires us to collect and store your email address, password, and account settings. To create an instructor account, we collect and store your name, email address, password, and account settings. As you use certain features on the site, you may be prompted to submit additional information including occupation, government ID information, verification photo, date of birth, race/ethnicity, skill interests, and phone number. Upon account creation, we assign you a unique identifying number. |
|
Profile Data |
You can also choose to provide profile information like a photo, headline, biography, language, website link, social media profiles, country, or other data. Your Profile Data will be publicly viewable by others. |
|
Shared Content |
Parts of the Services let you interact with other users or share content publicly, including by posting reviews about content, asking or answering questions, sending messages to students or instructors, or posting photos or other work you upload. Such shared content may be publicly viewable by others depending on where it is posted. |
|
Educational Content Data |
When you access content, we collect certain data including which courses, assignments, labs, workspaces, and quizzes you’ve started and completed; content purchases and credits; subscriptions; completion certificates; your exchanges with instructors, teaching assistants, and other students; and essays, answers to questions, and other items submitted to satisfy course and related content requirements. If you are an instructor, we store your educational content which may contain data about you. |
|
Student Payment Data |
If you make purchases, we collect certain data about your purchase (such as your name, billing address, and ZIP code) as necessary to process your order and which may optionally be saved to process future orders. You must provide certain payment and billing data directly to our payment service providers, including your name, credit card information, billing address, and ZIP/postal code. We may also receive limited information, like the fact that you have a new card and the last four digits of that card, from payment service providers to facilitate payments. For security, PI course.ca does not collect or store sensitive cardholder data, such as full credit card numbers or card authentication data. |
|
Instructor Payment Data |
If you are an instructor, you can link your PayPal, Payoneer, or other payment account to the Services to receive payments. When you link a payment account, we collect and use certain information, including your payment account email address, account ID, physical address, or other data necessary for us to send payments to your account. In some instances, we may collect ACH or wire information to send payments to your account. In order to comply with applicable laws, we also work with trusted third parties who collect tax information as legally required. This tax information may include residency information, tax identification numbers, biographical information, and other personal information necessary for taxation purposes. For security, PI course.ca does not collect or store sensitive bank account information. The collection, use, and disclosure of your payment, billing, and taxation data is subject to the privacy policy and other terms of your payment account provider. |

Data About Your Accounts on Other Services |
We may obtain certain information through your social media or other online accounts if they are connected to your PI course.ca account. If you login to PI course.ca via Facebook or another third-party platform or service, we ask for your permission to access certain information about that other account. For example, depending on the platform or service we may collect your name, profile picture, account ID number, login email address, location, physical location of your access devices, gender, birthday, and list of friends or contacts. Those platforms and services make information available to us through their APIs. The information we receive depends on what information you (via your privacy settings) or the platform or service decide to give us. If you access or use our Services through a third-party platform or service, or click on any third-party links, the collection, use, and sharing of your data will also be subject to the privacy policies and other agreements of that third party. |
|
Sweepstakes, Promotions, and Surveys |
We may invite you to complete a survey or participate in a promotion (like a contest, sweepstakes, or challenge), either through the Services or a third-party platform. If you participate, we will collect and store the data you provide as part of participating, such as your name, email address, postal address, date of birth, or phone number. That data is subject to this Privacy Policy unless otherwise stated in the official rules of the promotion or in another privacy policy. The data collected will be used to administer the promotion or survey, including for notifying winners and distributing rewards. To receive a reward, you may be required to allow us to post some of your information publicly (like on a winner’s page). Where we use a third-party platform to administer a survey or promotion, the third party’s privacy policy will apply. |

We use tools like cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to gather the data listed above. Some of these tools offer you the ability to opt out of data collection.
We use cookies, which are small text files stored by your browser, to collect, store, and share data about your activities across websites, including on PI course.ca. They allow us to remember things about your visits to PI course.ca, like your preferred language, and to make the site easier to use. To learn more about cookies, visit https://cookiepedia.co.uk/all-about-cookies. We may also use clear pixels in emails to track deliverability and open rates.
PI course.ca and service providers acting on our behalf (like Google Analytics and third-party advertisers) use server log files and automated data collection tools like cookies, tags, scripts, customized links, device or browser fingerprints, and web beacons (together, “Data Collection Tools“) when you access and use the Services. These Data Collection Tools automatically track and collect certain System Data and Usage Data (as detailed in Section 1) when you use the Services. In some cases, we tie data gathered through those Data Collection Tools to other data that we collect as described in this Privacy Policy.
PI course.ca uses the following types of Data Collection Tools for the purposes described:
You can set your web browser to alert you about attempts to place cookies on your computer, limit the types of cookies you allow, or refuse cookies altogether. If you do, you may not be able to use some or all features of the Services, and your experience may be different or less functional. To learn more about managing Data Collection Tools, refer to Section 6.1 (Your Choices About the Use of Your Data) below.
We use your data to do things like provide our Services, communicate with you, troubleshoot issues, secure against fraud and abuse, improve and update our Services, analyze how people use our Services, serve personalized advertising, and as required by law or necessary for safety and integrity. We retain your data for as long as it is needed to serve the purposes for which it was collected.
We use the data we collect through your use of the Services to:
We share certain data about you with instructors, other students, companies performing services for us, PI course.ca affiliates, our business partners, analytics and data enrichment providers, your social media providers, companies helping us run promotions and surveys, and advertising companies who help us promote our Services. We may also share your data as needed for security, legal compliance, or as part of a corporate restructuring. Lastly, we can share data in other ways if it is aggregated or de-identified or if we get your consent.
We may share your data with third parties under the following circumstances or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy:
We use appropriate security based on the type and sensitivity of data being stored. As with any internet-enabled system, there is always a risk of unauthorized access, so it’s important to protect your password and to contact us if you suspect any unauthorized access to your account.
PI course.ca takes appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of your personal data that we collect and store. These measures vary based on the type and sensitivity of the data. Unfortunately, however, no system can be 100% secured, so we cannot guarantee that communications between you and PI course.ca, the Services, or any information provided to us in connection with the data we collect through the Services will be free from unauthorized access by third parties. Your password is an important part of our security system, and it is your responsibility to protect it. You should not share your password with any third party, and if you believe your password or account has been compromised, you should change it immediately and contact our Support Team with any concerns.
You have certain rights around the use of your data, including the ability to opt out of promotional emails, cookies, and collection of your data by certain third parties. You can update or terminate your account from within our Services, and can also contact us for individual rights requests about your personal data. Parents who believe we’ve unintentionally collected personal data about their underage child should contact us for help deleting that information.
You can choose not to provide certain data to us, but you may not be able to use certain features of the Services.
If you have any questions about your data, our use of it, or your rights, contact us at privacy@picourse.ca.com.
You can access and update your personal data that PI course.ca collects and maintains as follows:
We recognize the privacy interests of children and encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children’s online activities and interests. Individuals younger than 18 years of age, but of the required age for consent to use online services where they live (for example, 13 in the US or 16 in Ireland), may not set up an account, but may have a parent or guardian open an account and help them access appropriate content. Individuals younger than the required age for consent to use online services may not use the Services. If we learn that we’ve collected personal data from a child under those ages, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
Parents who believe that PI course.ca may have collected personal data from a child under those ages can submit a request that it be removed to privacy@picourse.ca
If you live in California, you have certain rights related to accessing and deleting your data, as well as learning who we share your data with. If you live in Australia, you have the right to make a formal complaint with the appropriate government agency. Users outside of the United States should note that we transfer data to the US and other areas outside of the European Economic Area.
Users who are California residents have certain rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, (“CCPA”). If you are an eligible California user, included in these rights are:
CCPA has a specific definition of a “sale” and while PI course.ca does not, in the traditional sense, sell your personal information or the personal information of any of our users, we do use cookies that make non-personally identifiable information available to select third-parties. To opt out of such a “sale,” click on the “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” link at the bottom of this page.
To exercise any of these rights under CCPA, please email privacy@picourse.ca or write to us at PI course.ca, Attn: Privacy/Legal Team, 600 Harrison Street, 3rd floor, San Francisco CA 94107. CCPA allows you to designate an authorized agent to make these requests on your behalf. For your protection, we may require that the request be sent through the email address associated with your account, and we may need to verify you and/or your agent’s identity before fulfilling your request.
Additionally, for more information about the personal information we collect and how we collect it, please see the sections above entitled “What Data We Get” and “How We Get Data About You.”
To learn about the business and commercial purposes for which your personal information is collected and the categories of service providers who have access to your personal information, please see the sections above entitled “What We Use Your Data For” and “Who We Share Your Data With.”
As a California resident, you also have the right to request certain details about what personal information we share with third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes. To submit your request, send an email to privacy@picourse.ca with the phrase “California Shine the Light” and include your mailing address, state of residence, and email address.
Since there is no widely accepted standard for the browser-initiated Do Not Track signal, we do not currently recognize or respond to Do Not Track signals.
PI course.ca does not sell its users’ personal information or personal data. Nonetheless, Nevada residents have the right to submit a request that we do not sell your covered personal information, which you can do by emailing privacy@picourse.ca or writing to us at PI course.ca, Attn: Privacy/Legal Team, 600 Harrison Street, 3rd floor, San Francisco CA 94107.
If you are located in the EEA or UK, you have the right to request access to your data in a portable format and to request the rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, or objection to processing of your personal data. You also have the right to obtain a free copy of the Standard Contractual Clauses referenced in Section 7.5. You may use the information in Section 6.2 to submit your request. Additionally, if you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority.
Personal data is also processed outside of the UK, Switzerland, and the EEA by our PI course.ca group companies, or our service providers, including to process transactions, facilitate payments, and provide support services as described in Section 4. We use Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission to facilitate transfers of personal data from the EEA to third countries and have entered into data processing agreements with our service providers and PI course.ca group companies to restrict and regulate their processing of your data. By submitting your data or using our Services, you consent to this transfer, storage, and processing by PI course.ca and its processors.
In order to provide the Services to you, we must transfer your data to Canada and process it there. If you are using the Services from outside Canada, you consent to the transfer, storage, and processing of your data in and to the Canada or other countries.
When we make a material change to this policy, we’ll notify users via email, in-product notice, or another mechanism required by law. Changes become effective the day they’re posted. Please contact us via email or postal mail with any questions, concerns, or disputes.
From time to time, we may update this Privacy Policy. If we make any material change to it, we will notify you via email, through a notification posted on the Services, or as required by applicable law. We will also include a summary of the key changes. Unless stated otherwise, modifications will become effective on the day they are posted.
As permitted by applicable law, if you continue to use the Services after the effective date of any change, then your access and/or use will be deemed an acceptance of (and agreement to follow and be bound by) the revised Privacy Policy. The revised Privacy Policy supersedes all previous Privacy Policies.
Any capitalized terms not defined in this policy are defined as specified in PI course.ca’s Terms of Use. Any version of this Privacy Policy in a language other than English is provided for convenience.
