Effective date: 6/22/2026 Last updated: 6/22/2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website located at Realestateschool.org, including all related pages, content, courses, applications, and services (collectively, the "Site"). The Site is owned and operated by Gorman Investments, Inc. d/b/a Realestateschool.org ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), 707 Driftwood Lane, Edmonds, WA 98020.

Please read these Terms carefully. By accessing or using the Site, creating an account, or enrolling in or accessing any course, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Site.

---

1. Acceptance and Changes to These Terms

By using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, which may be modified or updated from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice (such as a notice on the Site or by email). Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Site.

Certain features, courses, or services may be subject to additional terms presented to you at the point of access or purchase. Where additional terms apply, they are in addition to these Terms, and in the event of a conflict, the additional terms control for that feature, course, or service.

2. Eligibility and Accounts

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a legally binding contract to use the Site or enroll in any course. By using the Site, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.

To access certain features or courses, you must register for an account. You agree to:

• provide accurate, current, and complete information, and to keep it updated;
• keep your login credentials confidential and not share your account with anyone else;
• be solely responsible for all activity that occurs under your account; and
• notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account.

Accounts are personal to you and may not be transferred, sold, or shared. We may suspend or terminate accounts that contain false information or that are used in violation of these Terms.

3. Courses, Enrollment, and License to Course Content

When you enroll in or purchase a course, you are not buying the course content itself. We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to access and use the course content solely for your own individual educational use, for the access period associated with that course.

Unless we expressly authorize it in writing, you may not:

• copy, reproduce, download (except where a download is expressly offered), record, screen-capture, stream, distribute, publish, or publicly display any course content;
• sell, resell, rent, license, or otherwise transfer access to any course or your account;
• use any course content to teach, train, or instruct others, or to create a competing or derivative course or product; or
• remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice.

Course access periods, formats (including slide-based delivery, downloadable materials, audio, and other features), and availability are described at the point of enrollment and may vary by state, course, and product. We may add to, modify, or update course content, sequencing, and delivery from time to time to maintain accuracy and regulatory compliance.

4. Educational Purpose; No Guarantee of Results; Regulatory Compliance

This section is important. Please read it carefully.

Our courses provide real estate education, including continuing education ("CE") and pre-license instruction. The Site and its content are provided for educational and informational purposes only and do not constitute legal, financial, tax, or professional advice. You should not rely on course content as a substitute for advice from a qualified professional or from the applicable regulatory authority.

You acknowledge and agree that:

• No guarantee of outcome. We do not guarantee that you will pass any licensing or other examination, obtain or renew any license, or achieve any particular result. Outcomes depend on your own effort, preparation, and other factors outside our control.
• You are responsible for confirming requirements. Real estate education requirements differ by state and change over time. You are solely responsible for confirming, with the Washington State Department of Licensing or the appropriate regulatory authority in your jurisdiction, that a given course satisfies your specific licensing or CE requirements before you enroll, and for confirming your own eligibility and standing.
• Course approval. Where a course is approved by a state regulator or accrediting body, that approval is limited to the specific course, state, and approval period indicated. Approval does not extend to other states, courses, or time periods.
• Completion and reporting. Completion of a course requires that you satisfy all applicable requirements, which may include seat-time tracking and enforcement, sequential and gated content delivery, and passing any required assessment at the score required by the applicable state or product. Where we report course completions or issue certificates of completion to a state agency, we will use reasonable efforts to do so accurately and timely based on the information in your account; you remain responsible for ensuring your account information (including your name and license number) is correct and for retaining your own records.
• Academic integrity. You agree to personally complete all coursework and assessments, to not misrepresent your identity or completion of any course, and to not share, distribute, or solicit assessment questions or answers. Misrepresentation of identity or completion may be unlawful, may jeopardize your license, and will result in termination of access without refund.

5. Payment, Pricing, and Refunds

Prices for courses and other products are stated at the point of purchase and are subject to change. You agree to pay all fees and applicable taxes for the courses and products you purchase, and you authorize us (or our third-party payment processor) to charge your chosen payment method.

Refund policy. 

A full refund will be given within 30 days of purchase if the following conditions have been met:

1. The student has completed less than 10 percent of the course.
2. A written cancellation notice has been received within 30 days of purchase.

Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method, ordinarily within 30 days of receipt of cancellation.

No refund will be given after 30 days.

We may refuse, cancel, or limit any order, and may correct pricing errors, at our discretion. We are not responsible for charges imposed by your bank, card issuer, or internet or device provider in connection with your use of the Site.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree that electronic communications, agreements, and notices satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

12. Information Accuracy and Availability

We make reasonable efforts to keep the information on the Site accurate and current but make no warranty as to its accuracy or completeness, and we may make additions or modifications to content, course text, and images at any time. The Site is accessible only through the internet, and we are not responsible for providing you internet access. The Site may be unavailable at times, with or without notice, due to maintenance, technical issues, or other causes.

13. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT, COURSES, AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, COMPANY MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL COMPANY OR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SITE, COURSES, OR SERVICES, WHETHER OR NOT COMPANY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, COMPANY'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITE, COURSES, OR SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO COMPANY FOR THE COURSE OR SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Company and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to your use of the Site, your Submissions, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

16. Termination

We may suspend, revoke, or terminate your access to all or part of the Site, your account, or any course, at any time, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms or any of our policies, or as otherwise necessary to protect the Site, other users, or Company. Upon termination, your license to access course content ends. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination—including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution—will survive.

17. Dispute Resolution; Governing Law; Venue

Informal resolution first. Before filing any claim, you agree to first contact us at support@realestateschool.org and describe your dispute, and to make a good-faith effort to resolve it informally. Many disputes can be resolved this way.

Governing law. These Terms and your use of the Site are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.

Venue. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, you and Company agree that any dispute not resolved informally will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Snohomish County, Washington, and you and Company consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

18. General

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms applicable to specific courses or features, constitute the entire agreement between you and Company regarding the Site and supersede any prior agreements.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later, and no waiver of any provision will be deemed a continuing waiver of that or any other provision.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your account without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or by operation of law.

Force majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
