This user agreement ("agreement") is a contract between you and PRS Review, LLC and applies to your subscription to and use of products and services available through https://www.prsreview.com (collectively the "services"). Purchase of services indicates an implicit agreement with the Terms of Use. If you do not agree or do not intend to abide by these stated Terms of Use, please refrain from purchase or use of PRS Review services.

User Agreement

You must read, agree with, and accept all of the terms and conditions and our privacy policy before you become a subscriber to and user of PRS Review’s services.

We may amend this agreement at any time by posting the amended terms on our website https://www.prsreview.com (hereafter known as the "site"). Except as stated below, all amended terms shall be effective 30 days after they are initially posted on our site. Upcoming changes will also be posted on this page.

In this agreement, "you" or "your" means any person or entity subscribing to and/or using the service ("users"). Unless otherwise stated, "PRS Review," "we," or "our" will collectively refer to PRS Review.

Please read the following terms, conditions, and disclaimers in this agreement carefully before subscribing to our material. Agreeing to the terms of use includes the following:

Age Restriction

In order to use PRS Review services, you need to:

1. Be 13 or older
2. Have the power to enter binding agreement(s) with us without being restricted by any applicable laws

License

In consideration of and subject to your payment of the appropriate subscription fee for the services you subscribe to, and your agreement to and compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement, PRS Review grants to you a non-exclusive, non-sub licensable, non-transferable license, and right to use and access the PRS Review content (the "licensed materials") from multiple devices/locations with non-concurrant login access ("different times"). You are not allowed to access the PRS Review content from multiple devices/locations concurrently (at the "same time"). Access of PRS Review services from multiple devices/locations concurrently will be defined as account sharing, and appropriate action will be taken as defined in the "Restriction Against Transfer" section of this agreement.

System Requirements

You must use a PRS Review recommended version of an operating system, Internet browser, and any other required software to access the licensed materials as specified in our system requirements. System Requirements are updated to account for advancements in technology. PRS Review reserves the right to discontinue support for any system at any time. Compensation will not be provided for inability to use or access the services on discontinued or unsupported systems/devices.

Software Use Terms

The PRS Review software used for the question banks (Qbank) (hereafter collectively referred to as "software") is designed to work with Java Runtime Engine (JRE) 8.0 or higher on Windows and Macintosh. Any attempt to use the PRS Review software with lower versions of JRE constitutes a violation of the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement, and might result in unexpected behavior, for which PRS Review cannot be held responsible or liable for any damages. The PRS Review software is designed to access your computer system's clipboard during use. While a test is in progress, the PRS Review software shall disable all clipboard functions of your computer system (including, but not limited to, copy-paste-print and save-to-disk functions). Furthermore, the PRS Review software shall monitor all processes on your computer to determine if there exists any applications that could be used (intentionally or unintentionally) to copy contents. Simultaneous use of such applications (hereafter referred to as "dubious applications") with the PRS Review software constitutes a violation of this agreement. PRS Review reserves the right to determine which applications are classified as "dubious applications". When such a process or application is found to be active on a user's machine, the administrator will be notified with the process name. The user will also be notified with instructions to disable it on every attempt. In addition, PRS Review reserves the right to disable the launch of any test(s), if any such "dubious application" is found to be active on the user’s computer system. The user will not be able to switch between applications when PRS Review software is running. The user also understands and acknowledges this disabled function as part of the subscription terms.

PRS Review will always keep your account exam performance results confidential and will not provide such information to third parties without your consent. In the event that an educational institution (i.e., medical school or residency program) pays for the "services", the educational institution can request the performance results from PRS Review through your written consent.

The PRS Review software has been tested with a wide range of computer configurations; however, due to the rapidly evolving computer industry and unpredictability of various factors affecting computer systems, PRS Review does not guarantee the functionality of its software on every configuration, nor does PRS Review guarantee predictable behavior of the software in general. You recognize all of the above terms and accept that use of the PRS Review software on your system is done solely at your own risk.

Export Restrictions on International Sales

In accordance with current U.S. export restrictions, PRS Review software may be downloaded by individuals throughout the world except those in the following embargoed countries: Cuba, Iran, Syria, North Korea and Sudan. If you are residing in one of these countries, you may not purchase a subscription or download PRS Review software.

Access to Course Content

You shall be allowed to use the licensed materials for the specific course(s) and material(s) to which you have subscribed. Each course has its own subscription fees and course duration. You are not allowed to access the content of courses that you have not subscribed to.

Reasonable Use

PRS Review products are intended for individual self-study and exam preparation and are sold in the form of subscriptions. The products are designed to facilitate careful review by users of all content contained within the subscriptions in order to deliver maximum benefit and optimal study experience to our typical users (hereafter also referred to as "normal" product usage). "Typical" refers to users with a usage pattern of at least 90% of regular users of any particular subscription. Normal product usage does not include rapid creation of multiple tests without reasonable time for completion, usage of the entire subscription more than 2.5 times (defined as usage of every question contained in the Qbank at least twice, with up to half of the questions in the Qbank being used as many as three times), creation of more than 200 tests during a single pass through of the subscription ("single pass" defined as usage of every question contained in the subscription without any reset), or usage which is suspected to be shared between multiple users on the same device/network.

Usage of PRS Review subscriptions which is determined not to fall under reasonable use may result in action taken against the account, at PRS Review’s sole discretion. Subscription utilization that is indicative of, or arising from, impermissible business, multiple user, community, or fraudulent use may result in suspension or termination of the subscription in question. PRS Review may contact any user at any time to request clarification of a usage pattern which does not fall under reasonable use.

Order

Most of the information collected in the registration process will be used to process orders. During the order process, you will have to provide financial information such as your credit/debit card number, expiration date, CVV2 code, payee name, and billing address. This information is used for billing purposes and to fulfill your order. To properly process your credit/debit card information, we must share your personal and financial information with the merchant bank for authorization and approval. This process is protected by an enhanced security system. We do not share your personal and financial information with any third parties, except those specified in our Privacy Policy.

When you attempt a transaction on our website, the card processor verifies available funds by placing a hold, or pending charge, on the amount of the intended transaction against your card. The card processor then confirms the accuracy of your remaining information (e.g., your address, CVV2 Code, expiration date, etc.) before processing the transaction. If you enter an incorrect address or other associated detail, then the transaction is declined. This is NOT a situation unique with this website, but it is how virtually all online transactions are handled. Typically it takes the card issuing bank 2-5 days to clear associated pending charges resulting from failed/declined attempts.

We charge for each successful transaction attempt and provide a confirmation of such on our website and send a confirmation email to the registered email address upon each successful transaction on our website. You can also log-in to your account on our website and click on "Payments" section to retrieve a copy of your payment receipt(s).

Refunds

Except as otherwise provided in this agreement or at the sole discretion of PRS Review, no refunds, cancellations, or changes to subscriptions will be allowed. PRS Review reserves the right to refuse a refund if the user is found to be in violation of Terms and Conditions or acting against PRS Review’s interest.

Member Account/Password and Security

You must complete PRS Review’s registration process in order to subscribe to and use the services by providing us with current, complete, and accurate information as prompted by the applicable registration form. You shall be responsible for the accuracy of the data provided and may update your profile data in order to reflect the most accurate current information. You will also choose a password. You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account and for any and all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify PRS Review immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security. PRS Review will not be liable for any loss that you may incur as a result of someone else using your password or account, either with or without your knowledge. However, you could be held liable for losses incurred by PRS Review or another party due to someone else using your account or password.

Ownership

The licensed materials, including all intellectual property rights within the licensed materials (such as copyright) are the sole and exclusive property of PRS Review. By indicating that you accept these terms, you do not become the owner of the licensed materials, but are entitled to use them according to the terms of this agreement.

Subscription Term

You have the right to use and access the licensed materials for the course(s) you have subscribed to for the duration of your subscription period unless an interval of maintenance downtime has been scheduled. Content will be provided as described in the respective product description pages and may change during the course of a subscription period to remain relevant. For Qbank products, the number of questions may vary during the subscription term based on content changes and updates. However, Qbank subscriptions will always have a minimum number of active questions as described in the corresponding product description pages. The subscription period will start immediately after activation unless you notify PRS Review about a desired start date before using any of the licensed content. Subscription(s) cannot be suspended temporarily and reactivated at a later date. You must use the course material within the subscribed period, and no free extensions are offered in exchange for any unused time.

At the end of your subscription period, your right to use and access the licensed materials will expire automatically unless you renew under PRS Review’s current terms and conditions. A renewal will allow you to work on existing Qbank test information for a preset extended period. Renewals are offered as a continuation to a current subscription term but not for later use after this term has expired. You must renew the subscription prior to its expiration date. A renewal will be provided only for the course subscribed. Some courses are offered as a combination package(s), and renewal will only be permitted for individual courses in the package but not for the original combined package. This agreement and your right to use the licensed materials will also terminate at PRS Review’s sole discretion if you fail to comply with any terms or conditions. The Qbank test information will not be reset (deletion of test/performance/usage information) during the subscription period unless it meets the eligibility criteria described below.

Qbank reset eligibility is based on the continuous duration (without any intermediate breaks) of a currently active subscription and does not take previous subscription(s) into account. A reset is a permanent and irreversible purge (deletion) of all your test and performance data from our system. You may perform a reset directly from your account on our website. This option is available for only two circumstances outlined below:

• Purchase of a new subscription: You purchased a brand new subscription (ie, your previous subscription expired and you did not renew) and still have the old information in your new Qbank, or
• Continuous subscription for 180 days (6 months) or more without a reset: For users who have continuously subscribed to a particular course for 180 days (6 months) or more and whose subscription has never been reset, we provide a one-time only opportunity to reset the test information/Qbank. Qbank information cannot be deleted or reset in the middle of a subscription period except in the following two scenarios:
  • If you initially purchased a subscription for 180 days (6 months) or more, or
  • If you have held your active subscription for 180 days (6 months) or more without any intermediate breaks and it has not been reset previously

Renewal of an active subscription does NOT qualify as a new subscription purchase. An eligible Qbank subscription can be reset only once during its active period. Once it has been reset, another reset is not possible regardless of the remaining subscription time or purchase of renewal(s).

Permitted Uses

PRS Review reserves the right to restrict printing for any content in the website. You agree to have access to a computer and the Internet to access PRS Review, but except as provided in this agreement, you may not print out the licensed materials. None of the Qbank contents are allowed for print, copy-paste, or save-to-media/disk, but cumulative performance, score reports, and notes are allowed for printing.
