Terms of Use
Last updated August 1, 2026Educational program
The Contractor Institute provides education, planning tools, document preparation support, implementation guidance, coaching, and referrals. We are not the Contractors State License Board and are not affiliated with or endorsed by CSLB.
No professional relationship
Institute content and support are not legal, tax, accounting, insurance, or investment advice. Individualized regulated advice and services must be approved and delivered by the appropriate independently licensed professional. A referral does not create a professional relationship with the Institute.
No guarantee
Admission, participation, assessment results, curriculum completion, and coaching do not guarantee license eligibility, examination results, license issuance, revenue, profitability, financing, insurance placement, or any other business outcome. You remain responsible for applications, decisions, deadlines, compliance, and the accuracy of information submitted to government agencies and third parties.
Accounts and acceptable use
Member access is personal to the admitted participant. You may not share credentials, publish protected course material, scrape the service, interfere with security, misrepresent program content, or use the service unlawfully. We may suspend access when needed to protect members, content, or operations.
Program content and license
Institute lessons, workbooks, templates, downloads, branding, and portal content are protected materials. Enrollment grants a limited, revocable, nontransferable license for the enrolled member's internal business preparation. It does not transfer ownership or authorize resale, redistribution, or public posting.
Payments and third-party costs
Program fees are shown before checkout. Business Buildout begins with a $5,000 deposit and a required strategy call; the remaining balance and implementation scope are confirmed in writing. Government fees, professional-provider fees, insurance premiums, bonds, software, advertising, and other third-party costs are separate unless expressly stated.
Refunds
Refund eligibility is governed by the posted Refund Policy and any signed program agreement. Rights that cannot lawfully be waived remain in effect.
Educational disclaimer
The separate Educational Disclaimer is incorporated into these terms. Official government instructions and independently licensed professional advice control when they differ from general Institute content.
Electronic records
If you affirmatively consent, we may provide transaction and program records electronically as described in the Electronic Communications Consent. You may request paper delivery or withdraw future consent by contacting admissions.
Changes and contact
We may update the service and these terms as the program develops. Material changes apply prospectively unless law permits otherwise. Questions may be sent to admissions@thecontractorinstitute.com.
