Learning and Development Participation Agreement

Version: October 15, 2025

Welcome!

This Learning and Development Participation Agreement (this “Agreement”) governs participation in the Learning and Development Program for Independent Consultants (the “Program”) operated by Catalant Technologies, Inc. (“we” or “Catalant”). By enrolling in a Program course (“Course”), you (“you”) agree to this Agreement. 

You are already an Expert on Catalant’s Expert Marketplace (“Expert Marketplace”).  You acknowledge and agree that (a) your use of the Expert Marketplace will continue to be governed by the Terms of Use for Experts located at https://catalant.com/legal/expert-terms-of-use/ (the “TOU”), which are incorporated herein by reference; and (b) any Expert Services you provide to any Client will continue to be governed by the applicable Project Agreement.  Capitalized terms used in this Agreement that are not defined in this Agreement will have the definitions set forth in the TOU. 

The Program is considered an add-on Service, and this Agreement constitutes supplemental terms as described in the TOU.  This means that this Agreement is in addition to the TOU and does not replace them.  Without limiting the foregoing, we highlight throughout this Agreement certain terms from the TOU that apply to the Program for clarity. 

1. Enrollment

The description of each Course (“Course Description”), such as subject matter, the number of modules in the Course, Course schedule, fees, and enrollment dates, will be posted on the Program website located at https://catalant.com/practical-ai-for-independent-consultants/ (the “Program Site”).  Each Course module is designed and delivered by an instructor who is a subject matter expert on the topic.  Any Course materials (“Course Materials”), such as pre-reads, slides, and handouts, will vary by module and instructor.  

If you would like to enroll in a Course, complete the following steps (“Enrollment”):

• Submit your application online via the Program Site.
• Once your application has been approved for eligibility, you will receive an email with instructions for payment. All payments are processed securely through Stripe. You are not enrolled until you have successfully submitted payment. 
• Once you complete payment, you will receive a receipt confirming payment following checkout.
• Catalant will send you an email confirming your Enrollment and welcoming you to the Course. 

If the Course Description indicates that seats are limited, Enrollment is on a first-come, first-serve basis.  You must adhere to any applicable deadlines provided in the Course Description to secure your Enrollment or other features (e.g., early bird pricing).  Enrollment is non-transferable. 

Following your Enrollment, Catalant will send you an email with instructions for accessing the Course, including session links and any other relevant information. You are solely responsible for ensuring that you have the necessary equipment, software, and internet connectivity to participate in the Course.  Catalant is not responsible for any technical issues arising from your equipment, network connection, or software setup.

Catalant is entitled to substitute an instructor with any other person who, in Catalant’s sole, it deems suitably qualified to deliver the relevant Course.  In the event there are any changes to the Course following Enrollment, Catalant will promptly notify you via email. 

2. Conduct 

As a Course participant, you are expected to engage respectfully during the Course and any interactive components.  We reserve the right to remove any participant for disruptive behavior, misuse of the Program and related materials (including the Course Materials), or a violation of this Agreement, without refund. 

3. Cancellation & Refund Policy

• Term. The term of this Agreement begins on the date you enroll in a Course (“Effective Date”) and continues until your completion of all enrolled Courses, unless earlier terminated by either you or Catalant pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the “Term”). 
• Withdrawal. If you withdraw from the Course after Enrollment, fees are non-refundable.  If your withdrawal is due to hardship, illness, or other inability to attend, you may contact Catalant via email to request recordings and materials (if available) for the missed modules. 
• Cancellation by Catalant.  If any module in the Course is cancelled by Catalant, Catalant will provide you a pro-rated refund for the cancelled module(s).  If the Course is cancelled by Catalant  in full, you will receive a full refund of fees paid for the Course. 

4. Course Materials & Data

• Recording.  You acknowledge that Course modules may be recorded and that your name, voice, or image may appear in those recordings. Catalant may edit and modify the Recordings so long as such editing and modifying does not materially change the content of the Recordings or misrepresent you.  Catalant may publish, display, distribute, and use the Recordings for any  commercial or non-commercial purposes. It is at the discretion of the instructor and Catalant whether a module recording is shared with you as part of the Course Materials. 
• Use of Course Materials.  We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Course Materials solely for your personal, non-commercial use.  You may not copy, share, record, or distribute any Course content (including Course Materials and any recordings), without our prior permission.  In addition, you will comply with any additional terms provided to you that apply to your use of the Course Materials.
• Intellectual Property.  As between you and Catalant, Catalant retains all right, title and interest in and to the Program, Courses, and Course Materials and the related intellectual property rights in each. 
• Data.  The information you provide to Catalant and any Course instructor is subject to our Website Privacy Notice. <link to https://catalant.com/legal/website-privacy-notice/>. Without limiting the foregoing, information you provide to Catalant upon Enrollment may be shared with the Course instructors and other Course participants for purposes of delivering the Program. 
• Participant Materials.  If you provide, submit, or upload any information, data or other materials to Catalant, the instructor(s), or the other Course participants in connection with the Program, you represent and warrant you have all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to do so.  

5. Disclaimers

WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH REGARD TO THE PROGRAM OR ANY COURSE MATERIALS. THE PROGRAM AND COURSE MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS”.  TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

6. Indemnification

Each party will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents from any and all third-party claims arising from or relating to its violation of this Agreement.

7. Limitation of Liability

Catalant does not accept responsibility for acts or omissions resulting from the information or views expressed in the Courses.  Opinions expressed are those of individual instructors and not necessarily those of Catalant.  The Courses are for general information purposes only and may not cover important considerations that apply to you and your business.  Nothing in the Courses or Course Materials should be construed as financial or legal advice. 

THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR INDIRECT OR SIMILAR LOSSES OR DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LITIGATION COSTS, COSTS OR DAMAGES DUE TO LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, REVENUE, GOODWILL, PRODUCTION OR USE, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, OR THE LOSS OR COST OF RECREATING ANY DATA, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PROGRAM, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION OR THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF CATALANT WAS ADVISED OF, KNEW OF OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGES AND EVEN IF THE LIMITED REMEDIES PROVIDED HEREIN FAIL OF THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF EITHER PARTY TO YOU ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PROGRAM WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU BY CATALANT FOR THE COURSE(S).

8. General

In the event of a dispute, the process set forth in Section 11 of the TOU will apply.  In addition, the general provisions set forth in Section 12 of the TOU are incorporated in this Agreement by reference.
