Welcome to Breath for Life! Breath for Life thanks you for taking the time to review its policies around your course registration before submitting payment. It is your responsibility to read and understand the terms and conditions of your registration. When you are prompted to enter your name, in the space provided in the Registration Form, agreeing to the terms and conditions of your registration, you are entering into a contract with Breath for Life. Whether you register into a course independently or someone else registers you into a course an agreement of the terms and conditions will govern decision making should changes occur to your registration and attendance. Breath for Life is bound to be fair and transparent, based on governing body oversight, and will apply these policies with impartially and equality. Outlined are the terms and conditions of your registration: Please note: Breath for Life reserves the right to update these policies without informing the registrant and the most current policy edit will be applied to any dispute or challenge.
1.	Module Completion is Mandatory	The most important of all priorities is that you complete your modules prior to the in-class skills-development session. If you have started, or completed the Red Cross modules, you will not be allowed into your course. This is an Red Cross stipulation based on OH&S governance (refer to point 6 below).
2.	Punctuality	Being on time for your course is mandatory and it is expected that you arrive on time. Late arrivals disrupt course delivery and based on governing body oversight 100% of course attendance is mandatory for certificates to be issued. If you arrive after the door is locked, for which you exceeded the time-frame around what would be regarded as reasonably late, access to the course you paid for will be denied and you will be regarded as a ‘no show’. No refund/credit, reschedule or accommodations will be considered based on a late arrival. The expectation is that participants arrive before their course starts. Breath for Life opens its doors to the public 1/2 hour prior to the course start time; please arrive early and take advantage of prime parking.
3.	Contact	Breath for Life can be reached by emailing breathforlifeinc@shaw.ca. Priority will be given to emails. Any and all correspondence, regardless of reason or need, must be in writing. Breath for Life’s commitment is to respond to your email within the same business day: If you correspond after business hours, a response will be returned within the next business day. Breath for Life will not answer its phone during registrant intake prior to a course, during sanitization of the facility (this occurs multiple times throughout the day), while in a classroom, when in meetings and most importantly when corresponding to a customer who contacts the office by email; If you contact Breath for Life by email, about your need to cancel, reschedule or postpone your course after business hours, your request will default to the next business day and policies will apply accordingly. Should you decide to leave a message at 780-434-1368 the message provides clear email instructions.
4.	Attendance (no show)	Your registration payment (cost of the course) reserves a seat for you, specific to the date and time of the course you chose. This is a one-time opportunity to attend your course and your registration does not reserve another session for you. If you do not attend (no-show) your course on the day(s) of your course, for whatever reason, no refunds, credits or accommodations will be considered: this applies to informing Breath for Life of your absence on the day of the course, after the course and to arriving late for your course.
5.	Final Sale Status	Final Sale status is given to your registered course: Final Sale means that Breath for Life Inc has no obligations to issue refunds, credits or provide accommodations during this period of time.
6.	Unforeseen Circumstances	If you are unable to attend your course (no-show) for whatever reason and notify Breath for Life of your absence, on the day of the course (final sale window), after the course has started and/or finished Breath for Life will not honor requests for refunds or reschedules. Depending on the course start time, if your arrival results in you being greater than 15 minutes late you will be regarded as a no-show regardless of reason. If you require a future course it will be at the full registration cost.
7	Certification	Breath for Life will submit the course roster to the Red Cross after the completion of the Course. We are prompt and diligent in this consideration. The Canadian Red Cross gives training partners up to 10 business days to submit the course roster. Breath for Life submits the course roster to the Canadian Red Cross in a timely manner – usually upon course completion. On the rare occasion, it may take up to 72 hours for the Canadian Red Cross to populate your certificate to your account (My Profile: My Certifications) and email. Breath for Life does not have access to your certificate and it is up to the registrant to know how to access their certificate for future reference.
8	Safety	To keep our school safe and clean for everyone, shoes worn outside must be removed at the door. Outside footwear is not allowed within the Breath for Life premises. Please bring a change in footwear so that you will be comfortable throughout the day. Breath for Life takes pride in delivering your course in a facility that is cleaned to a very high standard.
9	Material Items	Purchased materials are final sale. You must request your purchased material at the course. If you leave purchased course material behind it will be your responsibility to arrange a pick up time. Any refund requests around forgotten material will be denied. Alternately, you may make arrangements to pick up your material or request shipment of your material at the set rate of $35.00+tax by emailing: breathforlifeinc@shaw.ca. Items left behind will be held in lost and found for no more than 2 weeks. If email communication around the item is not received within this time frame, Breath for Life will either discard the item or donate it.
10	Respect	Breath for Life has the right to work in a respectful environment. Behaviors that are regarded as unkind and disrespectful will not be tolerated. This will result in an immediate dismissal from your course without a refund, credit and/or accommodation. The expectation of respect also applies to email communications. Please communicate politely and respectfully. Respect of Facilities: behaviors that would suggest disrespect of Breath for Life’s facility, property, equipment, etc will also not be tolerated.
11	Accommodations	Special accommodation requests must be made to breathforlifeinc@shaw.ca. This will include the need for a table and other incidentals. Breath for Life will not accommodate late arrivals beyond 10 minutes past the start time and our doors open to the public 1/2 hour prior to the course commencement time. Breath for Life Inc will not accommodate or allow the presence of extra visitors, children or babies while you are taking your course. If a person has dropped you off, there are restaurants in the area for them to enjoy. If you have children, you are required to make the appropriate arrangements so that your loved ones’ needs are looked after in an appropriate space without any expectation placed on Breath for Life. Breath for Life Inc reserves the right to change these policies without notice and any dispute of its policy will default to the latest version.
