Any discussions, examples, demonstrations, feedback, or commentary provided through courses, trainings, “Clinical Conversations,” consultations, community discussions, or interactions with instructors, consultants, moderators, or other users are provided solely for educational purposes and do not constitute clinical supervision, consultation, or professional approval. You acknowledge and agree that you may not rely on any content, discussion, feedback, or interaction obtained through the Application or Services as a substitute for formal clinical supervision, professional consultation, or independent clinical judgment. You remain solely responsible for all clinical decisions, client care, ethical obligations, documentation, and compliance with applicable laws, regulations, licensing requirements, and professional standards.
6. Community Features and User Interactions. The Application includes community and social features that allow users to interact, share resources, post content, and communicate with other users (“Community”).

You agree that any dispute you have with another user is primarily between you and that user. To the extent permitted by law, you release TTI, its officers, directors, employees, contractors, instructors, consultants, moderators, and agents from all claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising out of or related to such disputes or interactions, except where such claims arise from TTI's gross negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of these Terms.
- You agree that TTI may, but is not required to, take action in connection with user disputes, including removing content, restricting access, or suspending or terminating accounts. TTI's exercise of discretion in taking or not taking such action shall not, by itself, create an ongoing duty to monitor or intervene in similar situations, provided that TTI complies with applicable law and these Terms.
9. No Confidentiality; Not a HIPAA-Compliant Environment.
- The Application, Services, Community, “Clinical Conversations,” courses, trainings, and communication features are not designed to create a confidential or privileged environment and are not intended to be used for the transmission of protected health information subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) or similar healthcare privacy laws.

11. Moderation and Enforcement. TTI reserves the right, but not the obligation, to monitor, review, moderate, remove, restrict, or disable access to any Community content or user account, at any time and for any reason or no reason, with or without notice. TTI may suspend or terminate access to the Community or Services if it determines, in its sole discretion, that a user has violated these Terms, applicable law, professional standards, or community expectations, or has engaged in conduct that may expose TTI or other users to risk or harm.
12. No Duty to Monitor, Supervise, or Intervene. TTI does not have, and expressly disclaims, any duty to monitor, supervise, assess, intervene in, or take responsibility for the conduct, communications, mental state, emotional condition, or well-being of any user. TTI does not monitor the Community, “Clinical Conversations,” courses, trainings, or other Services for signs of distress, risk of harm, ethical violations, professional misconduct, or compliance with licensing or professional standards, and assumes no responsibility to do so. You acknowledge and agree that TTI has no obligation to respond to, investigate, or act upon any statements, disclosures, posts, or communications made by you or other users, including statements relating to emotional distress, mental health concerns, ethical issues, or potential risk of harm. Nothing in these Terms or in your use of the Services creates any duty on the part of TTI to provide support, intervention, supervision, reporting, or follow-up of any kind.
13. Professional Responsibility and Continuing Education. TTI does not guarantee that participation in any Service will satisfy continuing education, certification, licensure, or professional requirements. You are solely responsible for determining whether any Service meets the standards or requirements of your licensing board, professional organization, employer, or regulatory authority.
14. EMDRIA Attendance Requirements and Certification Eligibility. Certain trainings offered through the Application, including EMDR Basic Training, are approved or governed by the standards of EMDRIA or other accrediting bodies. Participants acknowledge and agree that compliance with all applicable EMDRIA requirements is mandatory to maintain eligibility for credit, certification, or recognition. EMDRIA requires real-time participation in required hours, that attendance must be live, synchronous, and continuous, and partial attendance may result in loss of eligibility for credit or certification. Participants are required to arrive on time, remain present for the full duration of each session, and comply with participation requirements, including camera-on requirements where applicable. Failure to meet attendance, participation, or behavioral requirements may result in forfeiture of eligibility for EMDRIA credit or certification, regardless of payment status. TTI does not guarantee that a participant will qualify for EMDRIA certification or credit, and final determination of eligibility rests with EMDRIA or the applicable accrediting body. However, TTI represents that its training programs are designed to meet EMDRIA standards as of the date of these Terms and will use reasonable efforts to maintain such compliance.
15. EMDR Certification Attendance Policy.
- It is expected that trainees attend consultation sessions with full presence and attention. Consultations must be attended in a quiet, confidential space, similar to a counseling session. Attendance while driving or while in a public space is not permitted.
- Consultation sessions will be scheduled by mutual agreement between you and your consultant. Consultations will be conducted via Zoom. Fees will be paid in accordance with your payment plan as agreed to upon registration.
- A minimum of forty-eight (48) hours’ notice is required for cancellation of both individual and group consultations (though more notice is preferred). If a scheduled consultation is canceled with less than forty-eight (48) hours’ notice, or if you fail to attend a scheduled consultation, you are responsible for the applicable late cancellation fee. This charge will be billed by and paid to TTI through an invoice delivered by email.
- Emergencies and confirmed medical situations should be discussed directly with your consultant to determine whether any exception may apply and to identify the appropriate path forward.
- You may not leave consultation early, arrive late, or step away from consultation sessions to attend to other activities except in cases of emergency or with prior approval from your consultant. Missing more than ten (10) minutes of any consultation session may negatively impact your learning experience and will affect your eligibility for certification credit.
- Arriving late, leaving early, or missing portions of consultation will disrupt both your learning process and that of other participants. If you are more than ten (10) minutes late to a group consultation, your consultant may deny your participation in that session.
- Attendance Expectations.
- Late Arrival, Early Departure, and Attendance Interruptions.

44. Dispute Resolution. We hope to address all of your claims through good faith negotiation and ask that you contact us at the address listed in the Contact section with any issues you may have regarding the Application or these Terms. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or related to these Terms, or the breach thereof, which cannot be resolved by good faith negotiation between the parties shall be settled by binding arbitration by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules in Denver, Colorado. Any resulting resolution may include the award of related fees and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, and may be confirmed and entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. You agree that any dispute resolution shall be conducted on an individual basis and not as a class, consolidated, or representative action.
45. Ethical Standards and Non-Discrimination. TTI is fully committed to conducting all activities in conformance with applicable professional ethical standards, including but not limited to the American Psychological Association's Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct, and all applicable state licensing board requirements. TTI will comply with all legal and ethical responsibilities to be non-discriminatory in promotional activities, program content, and the treatment of program participants. The monitoring and assessment of compliance with these ethical and professional standards shall be the responsibility of TTI's designated Continuing Education Coordinator, in consultation with members of the continuing education committee, if any.
46. Grievance Procedures. Grievances will be reviewed by the Continuing Education Coordinator, members of the continuing education committee, and members of the management team, as appropriate. While TTI makes reasonable efforts to assure fair treatment for all participants and to anticipate potential concerns, there may be occasions in which issues arise that require intervention and/or action by TTI. This procedural description serves solely as a guideline for handling such grievances and does not create any contractual obligation or guarantee of outcome. When a participant, either orally or in writing, files a grievance and requests action on the complaint, the following procedures will apply:
- The grievance will be reviewed by the Continuing Education Coordinator and the Program Manager within five (5) business days.
- If the grievance concerns a speaker, the content presented by the speaker, or the style of presentation, the participant filing the grievance may be asked to submit their comments in written format. The Program Manager will then share the substance of the comments with the speaker while maintaining the confidentiality of the individual submitting the grievance to the extent reasonably possible, though complete anonymity cannot be guaranteed if the nature of the complaint makes the complainant's identity apparent.
- If the grievance concerns a workshop offering, including its content, level of presentation, or the facilities in which the workshop was offered, the Operations Manager will mediate and shall serve as the final arbitrator. If the participant requests action, the Program Manager may, in TTI’s discretion:
- attempt to move the participant to another workshop; or
- provide a credit for a subsequent year’s workshop; or
- provide a partial or full refund of the applicable workshop fee.
Actions described in subsections (b) and (c) above require written documentation of the grievance for record-keeping purposes. Such documentation need not be signed by the participant submitting the grievance. If the grievance concerns a continuing education program in a specific regard, the Program Manager will attempt to arbitrate the issue. All grievances will be reviewed and responded to within five (5) business days.

47. Accessibility and ADA Accommodations. TTI is committed to complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) and applicable state and federal accessibility laws. TTI seeks to provide an inclusive and supportive learning environment and does not discriminate on the basis of disability in its programs, services, promotional activities, or treatment of participants. Reasonable accommodations will be made available to qualified participants with disabilities, provided that such accommodations do not fundamentally alter the nature of the program or impose an undue burden on TTI. Faculty members and trainers share responsibility for ensuring that program facilities, platforms, and learning environments are accessible to the extent required by law. Participants who require accommodations must notify TTI in advance of the applicable training or program. Advance notice is necessary to allow sufficient time to evaluate requests and implement reasonable accommodations. Open communication is encouraged, and TTI will work collaboratively with participants to support accessibility to the extent reasonably possible.
48. Controlling Law. These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado and of the United States. Subject to the arbitration requirement above, to the extent any claims are not subject to arbitration, all claims, legal proceedings, or litigation arising in connection with the Application or Services will be brought solely in the state or federal courts located in Denver, Colorado, and you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of and venue in such courts and waive any objection as to inconvenient forum.
49. Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior understandings, promises, and undertakings, if any, made orally or in writing with respect to the subject matter hereof. You may not assign any of these Terms. We may assign all or any portion of these Terms in our sole discretion. No modification, amendment, waiver, termination, or discharge of any portion of these Terms shall be binding unless executed and confirmed in writing by us.
