When you purchase Live Webcast (online) training from Community Brands University, you are purchasing ONE viewing license. This license includes one Internet connection and one phone line connection (if using the teleconference feature). If multiple people are attending from one location, you will be required to pay full registration fees for each attendee. Please read the full disclaimer below for online training:

U.S. Copyright Law protects the program you are attending. Multiple participants at one location are not authorized to share access provided to a single registrant. For each individual who attends, a single dedicated seat license must be purchased, or a group rate must have been previously negotiated with Community Brands. Community Brands reserves the right, at its discretion, to cancel or interrupt access to a Web-based training course without notice, or to invoice and collect the group rate payment for the course from the single registrant if this requirement has been violated. Recordings are prohibited. Please adhere to this license agreement. If it is determined you have multiple people attending a session, you will be contacted immediately for payment for each person attending. You can contact the Learning Services Department at training@communitybrands.com with any questions regarding this policy.
