Refund Policy

 

STUDENT’S RIGHT TO CANCEL

You have the right to cancel the enrollment agreement and obtain a refund. Requests for cancellation and refunds may be made in any manner. Students should return course materials to:

Allied Business Schools, Inc.
Attn:  Refund Department

22952 Alcalde Dr.
Laguna Hills, CA 92653
(888) 925-4282
Refunds@alliedschools.com

The refund period ends in conjunction with the initial enrollment termination date (see termination date in the enrollment agreement), even when a course extension is granted.

Shipping charges are non-refundable under all conditions. You are responsible for the shipping cost when returning course materials to Allied Business Schools.

All refunds for cancellations or withdrawals will be paid within 30 days.

Refund Information

Please refer to the following three sections regarding refund information for:

  1. Courses
  2. Online Preparation Materials
  3. Other Materials - including all the materials intended to enhance your learning experience but not required for your course study, such as Real Estate Flashcards, hard-copy textbooks for 100% online courses, et al. When online preparation materials or other materials are provided as a "Materials & Prep Grant" in an enrollment, they are not eligible to be refunded for cash value.

I. Refund Information for Courses:

Within the first five (5) business days after enrollment,
  • If you wish to cancel and you have not submitted any course assignments, you have the right to receive a full refund of all charges, except shipping. In this case, you are asked to refuse all shipments from Allied Schools. If you have already received the course materials, we request you to ship the course materials back to Allied Business Schools promptly.
  • If you have completed at least one assignment in any of the enrolled course(s) within the first five (5) business days after enrollment, you will not be eligible to receive a full refund. In this case, your refund for the course(s) with submitted assignment(s) will be calculated in the same way as "after the fifth business day from enrollment" explained below.
After the fifth business day from enrollment, but before the enrollment termination date (see termination date in the enrollment agreement),
  • If you wish to cancel after the fifth business day but before any assignments are submitted, you are entitled to a full refund minus (1) shipping and (2) a non-refundable 20% portion of the course cost, total not to exceed $200 (10% not to exceed $100 for Nevada Students enrolled in ABS's real estate licensing course), to offset Allied's administrative costs.
  • If you have completed at least one assignment in any enrolled course but no more than 50% of the assignments in the course and you wish to withdraw, you are entitled to receive a prorated refund based on the following formula:
    • Refundable Tuition is the remaining amount after the deduction of (1) shipping and (2) a non-refundable 20% portion of the course cost (total not to exceed $200) (10% not to exceed $100 for Nevada Students enrolled in ABS's real estate licensing course).
    • If you have completed 10% or less of the course, 10% of the Refundable Tuition will be deducted.
    • If you have completed between 10.1% and 25% of the course, 25% of the Refundable Tuition will be deducted.
    • If you have completed between 25.1% and 50% of the course, 50% of the Refundable Tuition will be deducted.
    • The remaining amount after such deduction described above will be the amount owed to you for the course.
  • If you have completed more than 50% of the course and wish to withdraw, you would not be entitled to a refund for the course.

Please return the course materials to Allied Business Schools when canceling or withdrawing from the enrolled course(s). The tax amount paid for the course(s) is only refundable when the course materials are returned.

II. Refund Information for Online Preparation Materials:

If you have accessed Allied's online preparation materials (i.e., creation of one test and answered one question), you are not eligible for a refund for this portion of your enrollment.

If you wish to cancel before accessing Allied's online preparation materials, you are entitled to a refund based on the following guidelines:

  • Within the first five (5) business days after purchase - you are entitled to a full refund for this portion.
  • After the fifth business day but within one year from purchase - you are entitled to a full refund minus a non-refundable 20% portion of the online preparation materials cost (10% not to exceed $100 for Nevada Students enrolled in ABS's real estate online exam prep).

III. Refund Information for Other Materials:

If you wish to cancel the purchase of Allied's other materials (books, Exam Cram DVD, etc.), you are required to ship the unused materials back to Allied Business Schools in order to receive a refund. You are responsible for the shipping cost when returning the materials to Allied Business Schools.

If the returned materials are in perfect condition, you are entitled to a refund based on the following guidelines:

  • If your refund request is made within the first five (5) business days after purchase - you are entitled to a full refund minus shipping for this portion, including tax.
  • If your refund request is made after the fifth business day but within one year from purchase - you are entitled to a full refund including tax, minus (1) shipping and (2) a non-refundable 20% portion of the Other Materials cost.

If the materials are not received by Allied Business Schools within one year of purchase or the returned materials are not in perfect condition, you are not eligible for a refund for the Other Materials.

Any refunds for these Other Materials will be paid within 30 days from the date that Allied Business Schools receives the returned materials that are in perfect condition.

Arbitration Agreement and Waiver of Jury Trial

  • 1. Any dispute I may bring against Allied Business Schools, Inc. (ABS), or any of its parents, subsidiaries, officers, directors, or employees, without limitation, or which the College may bring against me, no matter how characterized, pleaded or styled, shall be resolved by binding arbitration, conducted by the American Arbitration Association, under its Consumer Rules, and decided by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator will decide the case pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, and under the laws of the state of California. Any dispute over the interpretation, enforceability or scope of this Arbitration Agreement shall be decided by the Arbitrator, and not by a Court. I explicitly waive any right I may have to a jury trial, and understand that the decision of the arbitrator will be binding, and not merely advisory.
  • 2. Neither ABS nor I shall file any lawsuit against the other in any court and agree that any suit filed in violation of this provision shall be promptly dismissed by the court in favor of arbitration. Both ABS and I agree that the party enforcing arbitration shall be awarded costs and fees of compelling arbitration.
  • 3. The costs of the arbitration filing fee, arbitrator’s compensation, and facilities fees that exceed the applicable court filing fee will be paid by ABS.
  • 4. I agree that any dispute or claim I may bring shall be brought solely in my individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, representative proceeding, mass action or consolidated action.
  • 5. Any remedy available from a court under the law shall be available in the arbitration.
  • 6. To the extent I have outstanding federal student loan or other third party student loan obligations incurred in connection with my enrollment at ABS, any arbitration award providing monetary damages shall direct that those damages be first paid toward my student loan obligations.
  • 7. I may, but need not, be represented by an attorney at arbitration.
  • 8. The fact of and all aspects of this arbitration and the underlying dispute shall remain strictly confidential by the parties, their representatives and AAA. I agree that any actual or threatened violation of this provision would result in irreparable harm, and will be subject to being immediately enjoined.
  • 9. If I desire to initiate arbitration, Information about the AAA arbitration process and the Consumer Rules also can be obtained at www.adr.org or 1-800-778-7879. I shall disclose this document to the AAA.
  • 10. If any paragraph, sub-paragraph, provision, or clause herein is held invalid, said paragraph, sub-paragraph, provision, or clause shall not affect any other paragraph, sub-paragraph, provision, or clause that can have effect without the invalidated paragraph, sub-paragraph, provision, or clause, and thus is severable one from the other.
