Terms of Service
Effective date: September 2, 2026
1. Agreement
These terms are a contract between you and TradesCE LLC, 1383 2nd Ave, Gold Hill, OR 97525 (“TradesCE”, “we”, “us”). By creating an account or purchasing a course on tradesce.com you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
2. The service
TradesCE provides online continuing-education courses for licensed trade and professional license holders. Course approvals vary by state and profession; each course page states the jurisdictions and license types it is intended for. You are responsible for confirming that a course satisfies your specific license requirements before purchasing — renewal rules are set by your licensing board, not by us.
3. Your account
You must provide accurate information — including your legal name and, where required, your license number — because it appears on completion certificates and board reports. Keep your credentials confidential; you are responsible for activity under your account. Course work must be completed by you personally. Having someone else complete course work on your behalf is prohibited, may violate state law, and will result in account termination without refund.
4. Purchases and access
Prices are shown at checkout and charged at purchase. After purchase, a course is available in your account for twelve (12) months or until you complete it, whichever comes first, unless the course page states a different period or your state’s rules impose one. Refunds are governed by our Refund Policy.
5. Certificates and reporting
Certificates are issued when you meet all completion requirements a course carries (seat time, quizzes, final assessment) as dictated by the relevant board. Where a board requires or offers provider reporting, we report your completed hours to the board. We cannot guarantee how quickly a board processes reported hours, and we are not responsible for a board’s decisions about your license.
6. Intellectual property
Course content — video, audio, text, quizzes, and design — belongs to TradesCE or its licensors. Your purchase grants a personal, non-transferable license to use the content for your own education. Copying, redistributing, or reselling course content is prohibited.
7. Acceptable use
You may not misuse the service: no attempting to bypass seat-time or assessment controls, no scraping or automated access, no interfering with the platform’s operation, and no impersonating another person.
8. Disclaimers
The service is provided “as is.” We work to keep course content accurate and current with state requirements, but course content is educational material, not legal, engineering, or professional advice for any specific situation. To the fullest extent allowed by law, we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
9. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, TradesCE’s total liability for any claim arising out of the service is limited to the amount you paid us for the course giving rise to the claim in the twelve months before the claim arose, and we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of licensure, income, or business opportunities.
10. Termination
You may close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. Records that state boards require us to retain survive account closure.
11. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Oregon, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
12. Changes
We may update these terms; material changes will be posted here with a new effective date. Your continued use of the service after a change means you accept the updated terms. Questions: contact@tradesce.com or (833) 558-7233.
