1.  Term  

Whether you pay annually or monthly, you are purchasing a subscription to the Colorado Bar Association CLE (CBA-CLE) for a commitment of one subscription year (12 months), commencing on the date this Agreement is executed. As the Registered Purchaser of the CBA-CLE Pass, you will have access to CBA-CLE programming and publications, as defined by the type of Pass you purchase, for 12 months after the purchase date. Your annual subscription will be automatically renewed upon your anniversary date, unless you contact CBA-CLE Customer Service ([email protected]) and cancel your pass during the month of your pass renewal. You will receive written notice of your renewal via email (sent to the email address used to purchase the pass or provided to CBA-CLE), at least 45 days prior to your renewal date. 

 
CBA-CLE reserves the right to change the terms of your subscription, including the subscription price, effective at the beginning of your next renewal term following the date of the change. We will give you advance notice of these changes. 

 

2. Purchase of CLE Pass 

You can purchase a pass using either ACH (paying by Electronic Funds Transfer saves CBA-CLE credit card fees and allows us to give more back to our community) or credit card (a 2% surcharge will be added to your purchase total). 

Annual Payment: If you select annual payment, full payment is due at signup and is nonrefundable.  

Monthly Payment: You will be charged on the first day of each month, for a minimum of 12 months. If you fail to make any monthly payment, CBA-CLE may require immediate full payment for the remaining months of the current 12-month term. 

 

3. Access to Courses 

Only the registered passholder will have access to the online courses and written materials during the term of the registered holder's CBA-CLE Pass. The registered passholder will have access to online courses and written materials until the CLE accreditation expiration date of each course. 
 
CBA-CLE may offer special prices for CBA-CLE Basic passholders for programs they select during their 12-month CLE Pass term(s). CBA-CLE Basic passholders can register at the "Basic Passholder” price option for seminars that are held within their 12-month CLE Pass term(s). 

 

CBA-CLE Elite passholders can attend most live seminars and live webinars held at the CBA-CLE Classroom for free. Some exclusions apply, including Book+Program courses, designated third-party seminars, and paid/professional speaker seminars, though some special pricing may apply. CBA-CLE Elite passholders are eligible to receive a discount for designated off-site seminars, institutes, symposiums, retreats, or other programs. CBA-CLE passholders will be responsible for optional function charges offered at a program (such as lunch, add-on activities, printed course materials, etc.) and can only register at the "Elite Passholder” price option (free or reduced fee) for seminars held within their 12-month pass term(s). 
 

4. License and Transferability 

In consideration of the subscription fee, CBA-CLE grants the registered passholder(s) a nonexclusive, nontransferable, limited license to access, retrieve, and view the online seminars and materials while your subscription is in force, and to use them only for purposes of your law practice or legal study. The CBA-CLE pass may not be used by the registered passholder or by any other person or entity to provide access to the CBA-CLE courses and materials to any third party. Only the registered passholder may use the pass. No substitute attendees are allowed for live events, live webinars, and home studies. Any sharing, copying, distribution, display, reuse or resale of the online courses or materials is strictly prohibited. The online courses and materials are copyrighted content. All rights, title, and interest (including intellectual property rights) in the courses and materials belong to CBA-CLE or its third-party contributors. 

 

5. Authorized Holders 

CBA-CLE will provide a unique username and password for the registered passholder to access content through the CLE Dashboard account on the cle.cobar.org website. This username and password may be used only by you and, as applicable, your designated registered passholders. Registered passholders may not disclose this information to anyone else and must treat this information with the same care as your organization's confidential business information. You must communicate these obligations to registered holders and promptly report any known breach to CBA-CLE. 

 

6. E-Mail Notice  

By participating in the CLE Pass subscription, you consent to receiving periodic email notices from CBA-CLE.  

 

7. Disclaimer  

All services and information furnished as part of the CBA-CLE Pass subscription are provided on an “as is" "as available" basis. CBA-CLE expressly disclaims all warranties, including warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. These services and information do not constitute legal advice, and their use is not a substitute for lawyers' or the organization's independent professional judgment. CBA-CLE assumes no responsibility for providing internet access. 

 

8. Non-Liability  

CBA-CLE (including CBA-CLE employees, officers, agents, sponsoring organizations, and contributors) is not liable for any loss, injury, claim, liability, or damage resulting from errors or omissions in the CBA-CLE pass subscription, or any interruption in providing access to the CBA-CLE pass subscription service. CBA-CLE's liability in connection with any other claim shall not exceed the amount of the initial 12-month subscription fee. CBA-CLE shall not be liable for any direct, special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind arising in connection with the use of the CLE pass. 

 

9. Termination; Nonrenewal  

CBA-CLE reserves the right to terminate this Agreement immediately if you or any members of your organization materially breach this Agreement, including but not limited to misuse of the online resources, misuse of the pass for access to programs, or disclosure of usernames and passwords. CBA-CLE reserves the right to change the terms on which it offers the CBA-CLE pass (or to cease offering it). This Agreement (as modified by CBA-CLE and communicated to you) continues to govern usage of the CLE pass while your subscription is in force. Your obligations under paragraphs four (4), seven (7), and eight (8) survive any termination or non-renewal. 

 

10. This Agreement is nontransferable, is the entire Agreement of the parties, is governed by Colorado law, and its provisions are severable. CBA-CLE's failure to enforce any provision does not waive further enforcement rights.
