EVIDENCE AT TRIAL DOES NOT PROVIDE OR GUARANTEE, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS, ANY VALUE, CASH OR OTHERWISE, ATTRIBUTED TO ANY DATA RESIDING ON EVIDENCE AT TRIAL’S SERVERS.

11. CLE Program Registration

a. Billing Policies. Certain aspects of the Service, such as registration for CLE programs, may be provided for a fee or other charge. If you elect to use paid aspects of the Service, you agree to the pricing listed on program registration pages, as we may update them from time to time. Evidence at Trial may add new services or programs for additional fees and charges, or amend fees and charges for existing services or programs, at any time in its sole discretion. Any change to our pricing or payment terms shall become effective immediately for any future registrations.

b. Attendee Substitutions; Refund Limitations. You must notify Evidence at Trial at least 48 hours in advance of a CLE program’s start date if you wish to send a substitute participant; all substitutions will be granted at the sole discretion of Evidence at Trial. If you are unable to attend or find a suitable substitute, notify Evidence at Trial in writing no later than three days prior to the start of the CLE program and Evidence at Trial will issue you a credit voucher—for the full amount you paid Evidence at Trial to attend that CLE program—that is redeemable only against cost of attendance for future Evidence at Trial CLE programs. For cancellations received in writing more than seven (7) days prior to the conference you will receive a 100% credit to be used at another Evidence at Trial conference for up to one year from the date of issuance.

For cancellations received seven (7) days or less prior to an event (including day 7), no credit will be issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Evidence at Trial will be under no obligation to issue refunds or credits once any CLE program materials have been distributed or made accessible to attendees. You may cancel your CLE program registration at any time; however, there are no refunds for cancellation other than as specified above. In the event that Evidence at Trial suspends or terminates this Agreement, you understand and agree that you shall receive no refund or exchange for any Evidence at Trial Data, any license or subscription fees for any portion of the Service, any content or data associated with your registration(s) or CLE programs (including CLE program videos or other materials), or for anything else.

c. Risk of Loss. All products purchased from or via the Service, including materials distributed in relation to a CLE program, may be transported and delivered to you by an independent carrier not affiliated with, or controlled by, Evidence at Trial.

d. Payment Information; Taxes. All information that you provide in connection with a purchase or transaction or other monetary transaction interaction with the Service must be accurate, complete, and current. You agree to pay all charges incurred by users of your credit card, debit card, or other payment method used in connection with a purchase or transaction or other monetary transaction interaction with the Service at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred. You will pay any applicable taxes, if any, relating to any such purchases, transactions or other monetary transaction interactions.

e. Payments. You agree to pay the total amount listed on the site when you submit a CLE program registration or when someone submits a registration on your behalf. You agree that if you submit registration(s) on behalf of others, you are nonetheless personally responsible for paying the total amount due under the terms of this Agreement. Payments must be received in full prior to the CLE program in question. Group discounts may be made available to individuals who register together on the site or via promotional code submitted at the time of registration, at the sole discretion of Evidence at Trial.

You agree to pay all applicable taxes or charges imposed by any government entity in connection with your participation in the Service.

No other measurements or statistics of any kind shall be accepted by Evidence at Trial or have any effect under this Agreement. We may withhold any taxes or other amounts from payments due to you as required by law.

f. Event Cancellation. You agree that Evidence at Trial may cancel your CLE program registration(s) at any time, for any reason (including without limitation in the case of pricing errors) and in its sole discretion, in which case Evidence at Trial will refund you the amount you paid Evidence at Trial to attend that CLE program, so long as you have not previously submitted a request to cancel that registration and Evidence at Trial has not determined that you have breached this Agreement. Evidence at Trial also reserves the right to modify (including without limitation as to time, location, speakers, or topic) or cancel all or part of any CLE program it deems necessary to modify or cancel in its sole discretion. You will only be entitled to a refund of registration fees in the event that the entire CLE program is cancelled, and only so long as you have not previously submitted a request to cancel that registration and Evidence at Trial has not determined that you have breached this Agreement. In no event will Evidence at Trial be responsible for any costs incurred by registrants or others, including without limitation transportation, airfare, hotel, or other costs. Evidence at Trial reserves the right in its sole discretion to change CLE program dates and times, speakers, content, or venue, and will incur no liability to you or any attendee as a result of such changes.

FEDERAL LAW, SOME STATES, PROVINCES AND OTHER JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF CERTAIN IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

18. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL EVIDENCE AT TRIAL, ITS AFFILIATES, AGENTS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, SUPPLIERS OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THIS SERVICE (INCLUDING ANY CLE PROGRAMS YOU REGISTER TO ATTEND VIA THE SERVICE).

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EVIDENCE AT TRIAL ASSUMES NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY (I) ERRORS, MISTAKES, OR INACCURACIES OF CONTENT; (II) PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, RESULTING FROM YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF OUR SERVICE; (III) ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR USE OF OUR SECURE SERVERS AND/OR ANY AND ALL PERSONAL INFORMATION STORED THEREIN; (IV) ANY INTERRUPTION OR CESSATION OF TRANSMISSION TO OR FROM THE SERVICE; (V) ANY BUGS, VIRUSES, TROJAN HORSES, OR THE LIKE THAT MAY BE TRANSMITTED TO OR THROUGH OUR SERVICE BY ANY THIRD PARTY; (VI) ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN ANY CONTENT OR FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE INCURRED AS A RESULT OF THE USE OF ANY CONTENT POSTED, EMAILED, TRANSMITTED, OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE; AND/OR (VII) INFORMATION SUBMITTED VIA THE SERVICE OR THE DEFAMATORY, OFFENSIVE, OR ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF ANY THIRD PARTY.

THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW IN THE APPLICABLE JURISDICTION.

SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS AGREEMENT GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE. THE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS, AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

The Service is controlled and operated from facilities in the United States. Evidence at Trial makes no representations that the Service is appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who access or use the Service from other jurisdictions do so at their own volition and are entirely responsible for compliance with all applicable United States and local laws and regulations, including but not limited to export and import regulations. You may not use the Service if you are a resident of a country embargoed by the United States, or are a foreign person or entity blocked or denied by the United States government. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, all materials found on the Service are solely directed to individuals, companies, or other entities located in the United States.

19. Governing Law, Arbitration, and Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver

a. Governing Law. You agree that: (i) the Service shall be deemed solely based in California; and (ii) the Service shall be deemed a passive one that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over us, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than California. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of California, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences with respect to the substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16). The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Los Angeles County, California for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as set forth in the Arbitration provision below, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that Los Angeles County, California is the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for trial court proceedings in the event that the arbitration provision below is found to be unenforceable.

b. Arbitration. READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM EVIDENCE AT TRIAL. For any dispute with Evidence at Trial, you agree to first contact us at [email protected] and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the unlikely event that Evidence at Trial has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, “Claims”), by binding arbitration by JAMS, Inc. (“JAMS”), under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS, except as provided herein. JAMS may be contacted at www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration will be conducted in Los Angeles County, California, unless you and Evidence at Trial agree otherwise. If you are using the Service for commercial purposes, each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. If you are an individual using the Service for non-commercial purposes: (i) JAMS may require you to pay a fee for the initiation of your case, unless you apply for and successfully obtain a fee waiver from JAMS; (ii) the award rendered by the arbitrator may include your costs of arbitration, your reasonable attorney’s fees, and your reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses; and (iii) you may sue in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction without first engaging in arbitration, but this does not absolve you of your commitment to engage in the informal dispute resolution process. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing Evidence at Trial from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, Intellectual Property Rights or other proprietary rights.

c. Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver. WITH RESPECT TO ALL PERSONS AND ENTITIES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY HAVE OBTAINED OR USED THE SERVICE FOR PERSONAL, COMMERCIAL OR OTHER PURPOSES, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND EVIDENCE AT TRIAL ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND.

20. General Assignment. This Agreement, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by Evidence at Trial without restriction. Any attempted transfer or assignment in violation hereof shall be null and void.

21. You agree that any electronic or printed materials that you receive or purchase will only be printed, if at all, for your personal use. You agree not to make additional copies and/or distribute materials to any third parties.

Evidence at Trial may provide notifications, whether such notifications are required by law or are for marketing or other business related purposes, to you via email notice, written or hard copy notice, or through posting of such notice on our website, as determined by Evidence at Trial in our sole discretion. Evidence at Trial reserves the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to our Users, provided that you may opt out of certain means of notification as described in this Agreement. Evidence at Trial is not responsible for any automatic filtering you or your network provider may apply to email notifications we send to the email address you provide us. Evidence at Trial may, in its sole discretion, modify or update this Agreement from time to time, and so you should review this page periodically.

Deposition Skills Clinic Online (2-Pay)

“If you don't know where you are going, you'll end up someplace else.” – Yogi Berra

Depositions are the building blocks for successful trial presentations. Far beyond the mere discovery of facts and collection of admissions, effective depositions lay the groundwork for winning evidentiary battles at both the summary judgment and trial stages of a case. Not knowing the questions that establish (or challenge) that a writing is a business record can have devastating effects in a case. Hearsay statements that might otherwise be admissible had the questioner asked about its effect on the listener can be the difference between a motion in limine being granted or denied. The Deposition Skills Clinic is a must-attend seminar for all business litigators.   

Attorneys who complete Online Deposition Skills Clinic will receive 4 MCLE Credit Hours (California).
