Delivery Partner Subscription Terms and Conditions
Welcome to the Edmonton Chamber of Voluntary Organizations (ECVO) Delivery Partner Terms and Conditions. Please take the time to read and understand these terms and conditions (Subscription Terms). They govern your (your or you) use of the ECVO Alberta Board Member Essentials (ABME) electronic, web-based, learning management platform (Site) as a Delivery Partner.
Once you click “I agree”, you agree to the Subscription Terms as a legally binding contract between you and ECVO to deliver ABME on behalf of ECVO through the Site. If you do not want to agree to these Membership Terms, you cannot become our Delivery Partner, nor can you deliver ABME on behalf of ECVO.
Notwithstanding anything contained in these Subscription Terms, you acknowledge that ECVO can reject a request for a subscription or the continuation of a subscription at any time.
In these Membership Terms, Content means all the training materials and resources available on the Site, including tutorials, courses, videos, documents, sample files and user forum content.
Payment Plan
The fees for the subscription (plus any applicable taxes), accepted methods of payment and frequency of billings will be specified by ECVO. All fees, unless noted otherwise, are in Canadian dollars (CAD$).
You agree to pay the subscription fees in full, in advance, for access to the Content and Site for a period of 1 calendar year from date of approval as a Delivery Partner.
Subscription Approval
You will be approved as a Delivery Partner if you have:
- Completed and submitted the online application form;
- Paid the annual subscription fee;
- Had at least one person complete the Certified Trainer Course as determined solely by ECVO; and
- Received a written approval from ECVO as to your Delivery Partner status and assigned a territory.
Delivery Partner Requirements
You must reapply each year to remain a Delivery Partner.
You must only use a Certified Trainer to deliver Content from the Site.
You must pay an annual fee as set out on the application form.
You must always list the ECVO-approved prices for delivering ABME on behalf of ECVO.
You may provide a client discount by providing your clients with a discount code that they can enter when registering as an individual participant in the ABME course through the Site.
Certified Trainers
Certified Trainers must be trained by ECVO and must complete their training as outlined in the Certified Trainer Facilitation Manual. Certification training for one trainer is included in your annual subscription fee. Each additional certification is an additional fee as outlined on our website and must be paid in advance. Certification is not guaranteed. An individual must complete all of the elements as required by ECVO in order to become a Certified Trainer. If an individual does not complete the training for certification, in ECVO’s sole opinion, that individual will not become certified and an alternate individual must be proposed at an additional fee. No refunds will be provided for any reason.

Program Requirements:
- Complete the ABME program

Cancellation of Subscription
You may cancel your subscription at any time. You understand that cancellation of subscription will not result in a refund of any fees. Due to the sensitive nature of materials provided with subscription and the fact that the full value of the subscription vests in you immediately upon access to our Site, no refund of fees will be provided at any time.
Delivery Partner Subscription
Your Subscription is non-transferable. You must not share your username and password with anyone else or allow anyone else to access the Site using your username and password.
You are responsible for every use of the Site that occurs in conjunction with use of your username and password. You must use reasonable efforts to keep your username and password confidential. You must notify us as soon as you become aware of any unauthorised use of your subscription, username or password.
Subscription is based on annual fees which are detailed on the Site’s sign-up page. Your subscription, or access to Content and areas of the Site, will be suspended or cancelled if we do not receive your annual fees by the date provided in your renewal notice.
Availability and Use of the Site & Content
The Site will usually be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We may, however, need to interrupt or suspend your access to the Site or the provision of the Site’s services and Content, for maintenance, technical or other reasons.
When accessing and using the Site and its services and Content, you must comply with directions, instructions or protocols posted on the Site.
We are pleased to be able to offer a wide range of exclusive Content on the Site for your educational and learning needs, which we aim to regularly add to. The Content will be updated, changed or removed from time to time, at our discretion, so we can’t guarantee that specific Content will always be available on the Site.
Rights to Content; intellectual property
Content and Site are the property of ECVO. ECVO owns all Content, and all other rights in the Site including its design, compilation and look and feel.
Your subscription gives you a limited right (a revocable, non-exclusive, territory-limited, annual licence) to use the Content and Site and to deliver ABME on behalf of ECVO as a Delivery Partner. You may offer your services as an ECVO Delivery Partner to individuals or organizations. Any project files, spreadsheets or other assets associated with Content are included to demonstrate the course or tutorial. You may use, modify and manipulate files for your own personal educational purposes, but you must not otherwise exploit the files and the assets in them, or redistribute the files or assets.
You may use the procedures and techniques demonstrated in the Content (that is, the knowledge you gain) only as a Certified Trainer of Content.
The trademarks and logos displayed on the Site and Content are, unless otherwise stated, those of ECVO, and you must not use these without the prior written approval of ECVO.
Fair use and prohibited conduct
You are permitted to download Content to your computer as part of your subscription. But your membership is subject to a ‘fair use’ policy. Our ‘fair use’ policy requires that your use of the Site and the Content must be fair, genuine and reasonable. For example, the total amount of Content you download must be reasonable in light of your status as a Delivery Partner. We will use our reasonable discretion to decide whether a subscriber has complied with the ‘fair use’ policy.
You must not use scripts to automatically mass download Content.
You also must not:
- use a false email address, impersonate others, or misrepresent your affiliation with others;
- insert advertising, branding or other promotional content into the Site or Content;
- attempt to gain unauthorised access to computer systems or materials through the Site;
- engage in automatic gathering of information from or through the Site (such as “spidering”, “screen scraping”, “database scraping” or harvesting of e-mail addresses);
- attempt to interrupt or alter the Site’s operation in any way (for example through sending mass unsolicited messages, “flooding” servers, or introducing a virus, time bomb, trojan horse, worm, cancelbot or other computer routine );
- use the Site or the Content in a way that violates applicable law, that violates third party intellectual property or other rights, or that is, fraudulent, obscene, offensive, or defamatory; or
