Terms Of Use

Welcome to JDRefugee.com and our Terms of Use.

This Terms of Use agreement is a contract between you and the parent company of JD Refugee, JD Careers Out There (“JDCOT,” “We,” “Our,” or “Us”). We operate the website found at the address https://JDRefugee.com (the “Site”). This agreement governs your access to and use of the Site, including any content, functionality and services offered on or through the Site (e.g. the JDCOT Career Video Library located at https://jdcareersoutthere.com).

Please take the time to read this Terms of Use agreement despite the dry legal content, because it’s important. By accessing and using the Site, you (“You” and “Your”) accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy, included at the end of this document and incorporated herein by reference. If You do not want to agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, these Terms of Use, or the Privacy Policy, You must not access or use this Site.

1.  WHAT JDCOT IS AND DOES

JDCOT provides educational content and coaching on the topic of careers, career satisfaction, career change and career advancement to help working lawyers, people with law degrees and people earning law degrees. Our content comes in the form of video, live interaction, audio and text. Although the majority of content provided and published by Us will be generated by lawyers (including founder Marc Luber and a wide variety of interview guests), none of it is to be construed as legal advice.

The people featured in the JDCOT Career Video Library videos (“guests”) are expressing their own advice and opinions and not the advice or opinions of their employers (should they have employers). When guests are speaking about a particular career path, unless otherwise specified, they are talking about that career path in general and not describing what it would be like to work in that career path for a specific organization such as their employer or any other firm or company.

We and our guests are sharing advice based on real life experience. Whether delivered by live interaction (e.g. private or group coaching by telephone, teleconferencing, video conferencing, webinar), pre-recorded audio or video, or by text, You are by no means obligated to follow that advice, and You should always use Your reasonable judgment in evaluating any advice and its applicability to Your particular circumstances. Neither We nor Our guests can guarantee Your success, nor are We responsible or liable for any of Your actions.

The same disclaimer applies to the career tests or assessments We provide access to, including but not limited to those known as the MBTI® and MBTI®Complete. These two assessments in particular have been designed to provide valuable information about Your personality and preferences. We are not responsible or liable for any actions or causes of action of any kind arising out of or incidental to Your taking any assessments to which we provide access.

2.  CHANGES TO THESE TERMS AND THE SITE

We may change these Terms at our sole discretion from time to time. When We post modifications to these Terms, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the bottom of this page. The modified Terms shall be effective immediately upon posting. Your continued use of the Site after the posting of the modified Terms constitutes Your continuing agreement to abide and be bound by them, as modified.

We expressly reserve the right to make any changes that We deem appropriate from time to time to the Site or to any information, text, data, databases, graphics, images, sound recordings, video materials, audio clips, logos, software, features, services, and other materials within the Site (all such materials, and any compilation, collection, or arrangement thereof, the “Content”).

By agreeing to these Terms, You warrant that You will access and review this page with sufficient frequency to stay informed of any changes.

3.  PAYMENTS AND REFUNDS

Payment for JDCOT products and services comes in three forms depending on the product or service: a one-time payment, multiple installment payments, or an ongoing subscription. Services like JD Refugee® Coaching with Marc may provide the option of paying a one-time payment or in multiple installments. Same for online classes like the JD Refugee® Program. The JDCOT Career Video Library Membership is a subscription product available via monthly, quarterly or annual subscription (and is often included as a bonus with the purchase of JD Refugee® Coaching and online programs).

When You purchase coaching or online classes in installment payments, You agree to pay every monthly installment payment until the total amount listed at the time of purchase has been paid in full.

Coaching fees are non-refundable.

A 30-day money-back guarantee is available for the online JD Refugee® programs. Registration fees are otherwise non-refundable. JD Refugee® programs are not for tire kickers or test drivers – they are for people who are serious about figuring out their next steps. If You are unhappy with a JD Refugee® program and conclude that it can’t help You, email Marc within the first 30 days of your registration date using the email he provided to you or Contact Us using the Contact tab in the Site’s navigation menu. You will receive a refund if You have completed and submitted to Marc the homework listed in the suggested syllabus, participated in the private “welcome” call, participated in at least one group call (if the package includes group calls), and completed a refund questionnaire.

We do not refund payment processing fees. We use Stripe and PayPal to handle payment processing. They both charge JDCOT a flat rate for each transaction they handle in addition to a percentage of each transaction they handle. If and when JDCOT provides You a refund, JDCOT is returning to you the money that JDCOT actually received from the transaction with You. That money will not include the amount that was taken by PayPal or Stripe (approximately 3% of the total transaction).

In special cases, a spot in JD Refugee® programs may be secured by paying a deposit. When a deposit is paid for a program, if and when that program officially opens, You will be granted access to the program and Your account will be charged the remainder of the program’s registration fee (or the remainder of installment #1 followed by the upcoming monthly installment payments if You chose the monthly installment option). If the program does not open by the advertised date, your deposit will be 100% refunded along with credit card fees. Deposit payments are a commitment to joining a program when it officially opens.

JDCOT Career Video Library Membership subscriptions automatically renew at the end of their term. That term depends on the subscription plan chosen by You the subscriber during the registration process (e.g. monthly, quarterly, annually). You may end your Membership subscription at any time by contacting JDCOT via the Contact tab in the Site’s navigation menu. You will get to finish out your current term and will not be billed again after the date and time stamped on the email containing your termination request.

A 30-day money-back guarantee is available for the JDCOT Career Video Library Membership subscriptions. Membership subscription fees are otherwise non-refundable. If You truly don’t believe You are getting anything useful out of the Membership content, You may cancel your Library Membership subscription in exchange for a refund within your first 30 days of your initial payment. To do so, You would contact JDCOT via the Contact tab in the Site’s navigation menu. As stated above, processing fees will not be refunded.

Library Membership subscription fees and/or renewals do not apply to anyone receiving the Membership as a complimentary bonus as part of their JD Refugee® Coaching with Marc or other JD Refugee® program.

Information We Collect Through Automatic Data Collection Technologies

As You navigate Your way through and interact with Our Site, We may use automatic data collection technologies to collect:

  • Information about Your computer and internet connection such as Your Internet protocol (“IP”) address assigned to Your computer, Your internet service provider, Your operating system, Your location, and Your browser accessing the Site.
  • Information about Your visits to Our Site, including specific pages that You access on the Site or prior to or after visiting the Site, the content of undeleted cookies Your browser accepted from Us, the length of time You spend at the Site, and referring website addresses.

The information We collect automatically will not include personally identifiable information. We use this data as statistical data for purposes including estimating Our audience size and usage patterns, and determining popular areas of the Site. This statistical data helps Us to improve Our Site, provide a better user experience and a better service that is more customized to Our audience. To the extent that You voluntarily provide personally identifiable information to Us, We may connect this information to personally or non-personally identifiable information about You that You provide to Us or We collect from other sources.

Information We collect through automatic data collection technologies may be provided to Us by Our third party Contractors. For example, as with many other websites, Our Contractors include Google Analytics for Site analytics. Additional analytics may come from companies including Our Site’s web hosting company, Liquid Web, as well as Our email communications companies, Aweber and SendGrid.

          • Technologies We use for automatic data collection may include:

  • Cookies

    • Like other commercial websites, Our Site uses a standard technology called “cookies”. Cookies are small information files stored by Your web browser on Your device’s hard drive when You visit a website. Cookies allow for the collection of non-personally identifiable information. Our Site may send one or more cookies to Your hard drive to enable Us to enhance Your user experience with the Site by storing user preferences and tracking user trends. The cookies may be first-party cookies (where the code is created by the actual side You are on) or third-party cookies (where the code is available on that same site but created by a different entity). You may refuse to accept cookies by adjusting the settings on Your browser or internet security program accordingly. If You disable cookies, You may not be able to access the full functionality of Our Site.
    • Pixels / Web Beacons
      Like other commercial websites, Our Site and emails use a standard technology called “pixels” or “pixel tags” or “web beacons”. These are small electronic files that trigger a cookie (first-party or third-party) and permit Us to track how many users have visited specific pages or gather other statistics such as email opens (via Our current Contractor, Aweber).      We may also use this technology in the form of social media pixels (e.g. using the Facebook pixel on Our Site, which may use first-party cookies). These pixels allow social media sites to track their visitors to outside websites like Our Site so they can tailor the advertising messages their users see while visiting their site. These pixels also allow Us to develop, improve and target Our promotional messaging to You both on Our Site and social media sites. We reserve the right to use these technologies in compliance with the policies of the various social media sites. For more information on social media advertising and tracking, as well as opting-out, please see the “Advertising” sub-section below.

Third Party Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Technology

Our Site may contain links to other websites and We may include or offer third party products or services via links, affiliate links or advertisements. The third parties being linked to or serving the content, applications or advertisements may use tracking methods, including cookies, to collect information about You when You use Our website, including how You view or interact with their offers or advertisements. The information third parties collect may be associated with Your personal information or they may collect information, including personal information, about Your online activities over time and across different websites and other online services. They may use this information to provide You with interest-based (behavioral) advertising or other targeted content.

We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used. This Privacy Policy does not apply to and We are not responsible or liable for the content or privacy practices of other companies or other websites. Their privacy policies may differ from Our own. You acknowledge that Your use of and access to other websites that You click through to from Our Site is solely at Your risk. It is Your responsibility to check the privacy notices of these websites to see how they treat Your information. If You have any questions about advertisements or other linked content, You should contact the responsible provider directly. You should also review the “Advertising” sub-section below.

Google Analytics

Google requires that We inform You of the Google Analytics features that We use and how We use them, even if the information may be repetitive from what is already listed in this Policy.

Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. The data they collect is shared with other Google services (e.g., YouTube, which We also use). Google may use that collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.

Google Analytics provides Us information on how You interact with and use Our Site. This data does not identify You, but it may provide Us with key demographic information such as age, gender, and other information about Our visitors and subscribers. This feature also provides Us with data on how long Our visitors and subscribers use Our Site, which pages they use most, and how they found Our Site. We may also use the Google Analytics service for marketing the Site and for placing advertising that is targeted to You on the Site and other sites that You visit.

When You visit Our Site, Google Analytics plants a cookie on Your web browser to identify You as a unique user during subsequent visits to Our Site. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing You by disabling cookies in Your browser. You can learn more about how Google collects and uses data here, and their privacy practices here.

HOW WILL WE USE YOUR INFORMATION?

  • detect, prevent and address technical issues, and
  • perform other functions or those described to You when You submit Your information.

We and Our Contractors may store information We collect about You for as long as is necessary for the purposes indicated in this Privacy Policy. We may also store this information to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable laws, Our legal obligations, and to enforce Our Terms of Use.

We only send emails to people that have authorized Us to contact them, either directly, or through a third party. We do not send unsolicited commercial emails. We are strongly opposed to spam (unauthorized commercial email delivery). Here is a link to the anti-spam policy for Aweber, the Contractor that collects and distributes Our newsletters and email communications.

We will maintain the information You send via e-mail in accordance with applicable federal law. We may retain the content of Your email messages together with Your email address and Our responses.

Advertising

After visiting Our Site, You may see Our advertising on sites such as social media sites including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. This type of marketing that is tailored and targeted to You off of Our Site is sometimes referred to as remarketing or retargeting. Similar to other commercial websites, to accomplish this, We may use technology such as cookies, pixels, and/or Your email address. Any data that is shared with social media companies is only shared for this type of marketing on Our behalf and the companies using it are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose. This data allows Us to improve Our marketing services by showing You Our ads on their sites and having Our ads presented to new audiences based on similar interests to Yours.

For example, Facebook and/or Instagram would link data collected via Us with Your account on their platform, allowing Us to serve You with advertisements on their platform. They call this Custom Audience targeting. They call the similar audience that they would deliver Our ads to a Lookalike Audience.

By using Our Site and agreeing to this Privacy Policy, You are giving Your consent for Your data to be used for the marketing purposes described within this section.

HOW DO WE PROTECT INFORMATION COLLECTED ABOUT YOU?

Data protection is a high priority for JDCOT. We have put in place security measures (including physical, electronic, and corporate practices) to safeguard the storage and communication of the information You provide to Us and the information We collect automatically. These security measures include but are not limited to: working only with reputable third-party vendor Contractors, using password protected directories and databases to safeguard Your information, and SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology to ensure that Your information is fully encrypted and sent across the Internet securely. We use the much-trusted PayPal and Stripe to handle financial transactions so that Your financial information is securely stored and encrypted by them. After a financial transaction on the Site, Your financial information will not be stored on Our servers. Only authorized employees and contractors are permitted access to Your information, and only for appropriate use such as providing service to You or managing Your account. Information is sent via encrypted channels and firewalls are in place to prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access.

The safety and security of Your information also depends on You. You are responsible for keeping Your passwords for accessing password-protected parts of Our Site confidential, whether You created the passwords or We gave them to You. We ask You not to share Your password with anyone. This also applies to passwords for any online community we offer that is not located on Our Site.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. For example, email is not even recognized as a secure medium of communication. Although We have taken these and other steps, We do not covenant or guarantee that Your information will always remain secure from cyber-attack, other criminal events, or any circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures either at Our Site or those of Our Contractors. For any and all of these reasons, any transmission of personal information is at Your own risk.

LOCATION OF THIS SITE

This Site is hosted and operated in the United States. However, We and Our Contractors may, in Our effort to provide the Site, store Your information, including personal information, in the United States, or We may transfer it to, and store it within, other countries.

Those who access or use the Site from jurisdictions outside the United States do so at their own choice and risk and are solely responsible for compliance with local law. If You are not a resident of the United States, You acknowledge and agree that We may collect and use personal information about You outside Your home jurisdiction, and that We may store personal information about You in the United States or elsewhere.

We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that Your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Please note that the level of legal protection provided in the United States or other non-European countries from which You may access Our Site may not be as stringent as the standards under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Economic Area (EEA) or the privacy laws of some other countries, possibly including Your home jurisdiction.

YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR)

If You are within the European Economic Area (EEA), You are entitled to certain information and have certain rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We aim to take reasonable steps to allow You to correct, amend, delete, or limit the use of Your personal data. We may ask You to verify Your identity before responding to any such requests.

In certain circumstances, Your rights include:

  • The right to be informed of what information We have about You by contacting us.
  • The right to access, update, rectify or delete the information We have about You.
    When possible, You can take this action Yourself. For example, You can Unsubscribe yourself from Our emails and edit which of Our email lists You participate in via links at the bottom of Our emails. As another example, You can change Your own password for logging in to the Site. When You can not perform these actions Yourself, please contact Us to request help.
  • The right to object to and seek restrictions on Our processing of Your data.
  • The right to the portability of Your data.
    You have the right to be provided with a copy of the information We have about You in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
  • The right to withdraw consent.
    For situations where We relied on Your consent for the processing of Your personal data, You have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
  • The right to lodge a complaint about Our collection and use of Your personal data with a supervisory authority that has jurisdiction over issues related to the GDPR.

We require only the information that is reasonably required to enter into a contract with You. We will retain any information You choose to provide to us until the earlier of: You asking us to delete the information, Our changing to a different data provider, or Our deciding that the value in retaining the data is outweighed by the costs of retaining it.

What Legal Basis Does JDCOT Have For Collecting & Processing Your Information?

If You are in the European Economic Area (EEA), Our Site must have a legal basis for collecting and processing Your personal information. Our legal basis is as follows:

  • Your consent
    As stated above, for situations where We relied on Your consent for the processing of Your personal data, You have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. In some cases, such as Our email communications, You can withdraw consent Yourself via the links at the bottom of each email. When You are unable to withdraw consent Yourself, You can do so by contacting Us via the form on Our Contact page.
  • Contracts
    To complete a new contract or fulfill an existing contract, personal data processing is necessary. For example, when You purchase a product or service on Our Site, that transaction forms a contact between Us and You. We then need to fulfill that contract by providing You with access to the product or service and all that comes with it. The pre-contractual sales process may also require the processing of personal data when, for example, You request more information from Us and We then communicate with You.
  • Legitimate interest
    A legitimate interest for processing Your personal information exists when You submit the information with the reasonable expectation that it will be processed and there is no undue impact on You that would override Our interests. We have a legitimate interest in, amongst other things, sending You information that You request, providing responses to Your questions, direct marketing to You, market research, network security, fraud prevention, and providing You with access to the Site and its features.

For more information with respect to GDPR, please contact Your local data protection authority in the European Economic Area (EEA).
