Links to Third-Party Websites and Portals

The Websites may contain links to other websites. These links are for your convenience only, and IRD makes no representations or endorsements whatsoever regarding such other websites. For example, IRD makes no representations regarding, and accepts no responsibility for, the quality, content, nature or reliability of third-party websites accessible by hyperlink from the Websites or of websites link to the Websites. This includes any websites maintained by any third-party payment processors. When you link to those websites, you leave the Websites.

Further, we have no control over the business practices of policies of operators of such sites including those of any third-party payment processors.

You further acknowledge and agree that IRD shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with your use of or reliance upon any goods, services, or materials available on or through such link, site, or resource.

Dispute Resolution

Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to the relationship of the parties or these Terms, or the breach or termination thereof, shall be finally settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Arbitration Rules. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator, which shall be final and binding on the parties, may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

The Arbitral Panel. The arbitral panel shall consist of a single neutral arbitrator to be agreed upon by the parties within twenty (20) days of respondent’s receipt of the request for arbitration, or to be appointed by the AAA in default of such an agreement. Whether the decision-rendering body consists of a single arbitrator or a panel of arbitrators, such body is referred to herein as, the “Arbitral Panel.” The seat and place of the arbitration proceedings shall be Marin County, California, United States of America. The arbitration shall be held, and the award shall be rendered, in the English language.

Procedure. The Arbitral Panel shall apply such rules of procedure as it thinks appropriate under the circumstances; provided, however, that both parties shall be entitled to representation by counsel, to appear and present written and oral evidence and argument, and to cross-examine witnesses presented by the other party. The Arbitral Panel shall not have or exercise the powers of an amiable composter. The arbitral award shall be in writing and the Arbitral Panel shall provide written reasons for its award. The Arbitral Panel shall have no authority to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages, except as may be required by statute. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor the Arbitral Panel may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties.

Individual Claims. You agree that any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to the relationship of the parties or these Terms, or the breach or termination thereof, shall be brought solely on an individual basis, and you agree that these Terms do not permit class arbitration or any claims brought as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative arbitration proceeding. The Arbitral Tribunal may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. In the event the prohibition on class arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable, then the remaining portions of the Terms herein governing Dispute Resolution will remain in full force and effect. For the avoidance of doubt, any dispute arising with respect to or regarding the interpretation of this paragraph shall be adjudicated by the Arbitral Panel.

Enrollment Help & Cancellation/Refund Policies

As a nationwide leader in reading and writing skills instruction, the Institute of Reading Development is committed to giving all students the same, enriching program experience. Enrolling in a program means that your child will have a great time learning the skills he or she needs to succeed.

To help, we provide many options for families who enroll in a program and then encounter scheduling obstacles or changes:

Classroom and Online Programs

• Make-up Classes – If you cannot attend a regularly scheduled class, we can arrange a make-up in another class. We use the same curriculum in all our programs, and every teacher is knowledgeable, encouraging, and highly trained, so your child won’t miss a beat! Go ahead and enroll now to secure your spot in the program with the best schedule for you, then contact us to arrange convenient make-up lessons.
• Cancellations – Similarly, if a class is cancelled, we will offer you a make-up. If your entire program is cancelled for any reason, you will have the opportunity to transfer into a different online program at no additional cost.
• Credits – If you need to withdraw completely before your program begins, you will receive a full course credit for a future reading program that may be used by any member of your family or transferred to a friend.
• Refunds – Enrollments may be fully refunded before a program begins if requested within 10 days of your payment. If you have already received program books and materials, you will be responsible for returning them in undamaged condition.

To take advantage of any of these flexible options, please call 1-800-903-0651. We’ll make sure that your child receives the full benefits of the program in which you enrolled.

• Gift credits do not expire. 
• Unredeemed gift credits may be refunded within 10 days of purchase.
• Purchases of gift credits cannot be combined with loyalty rewards, reenrollment discounts, or additional student discounts.
