Overview
These terms and conditions ("Agreement") govern your use of
BLSTestCenter.com ("Site"), an online information service operated by
BLS Test Center ("BLS Test Center", "we", "our", "us", etc.).
BLS Test Center knows that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly. By visiting

General Privacy Policy
We will not sell, share, trade, or give your personal information to any third party outside of
BLS Test Center with the following exceptions. We may share your personal information with eCPRVerify National Registry, payment processing networks, certain other organizations described below, and when required by law or by court mandate. This may include your name, email address, phone number, street address, and other information that is generally not publicly available. We may contact you with certification reminders, renewal reminders, or in the case of billing or shipping problems. With the exception of the above,
BLS Test Center will not contact you via email, postal mail, telephone or otherwise, unless it is in response to an inquiry you initiated or to ship an item that you purchased.
Shared Information
When you are certified by
BLS Test Center, your information is shared with eCPRVerify National Registry and when requested by certain other organizations (e.g. staffing agencies, human resources, verification services) that may require your certification status for employment, educational credit, or other reasons. The information shared may include your name, email address, phone number, street address, certificate identification number (also known as your invoice number), certificate date, certificate status, and other information that is generally not publicly available. Employers as well as the public at large can use eCPRVerify National Registry to verify your certificate status. The purpose of the registry is to enable employers to verify CPR certification compliance of their employees. If you do not wish your information to be shared with eCPRVerify National Registry, you may opt-out by writing to us via the Contact Customer Service form.
Information Automatically Logged
As with almost all internet websites, our web server logs your IP address. Your IP address does not personally identify you unless you provide
other information to us, such as when you contact us or order an item.
Personal and Financial Information
We use Authorize.net, Paypal, Square, or other payment processing networks for you to order products and/or services. Financial information is secured at the payment processing network and therefore we do not store any financial data from you. Personal information such as your name, mailing address, email address, and related information are stored to process and/or to ship orders. Personal information from you contacting us via email or the Contact Customer Service form is used to reply to your inquiries.

External Links
This Site may contain links to other websites.
BLS Test Center is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of
such websites.
No Representation, Warranty or Guarantee
All content ("Materials") on this Site are provided "as is" and without any representation, warranty or guarantee of any kind, either express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law,
BLS Test Center disclaims the warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
BLS Test Center does not make any representation, warranty or guarantee regarding the use of, the efficacy of or the results of the use of the Materials, including but not limited to its correctness, completeness, accuracy or reliability.
BLS Test Center does not make any representation, warranty or guarantee as to the content, sequence, accuracy, timeliness or completeness of the Materials or that the Materials may be relied upon for any reason.
BLS Test Center does not make any representation, warranty or guarantee that you or any certified individual will be able to perform CPR or First Aid or use an AED in an actual emergency.
No Reliance
You should not solely rely on the Materials, but should instead seek other opinions before taking or failing to take any action which could lead to injury, harm, death or damage of any kind. CPR, First Aid, and AED procedures should be performed only on persons who require them and generally under the supervision of a licensed professional. Do not attempt or practice CPR procedures on anyone that does not need them. Performing CPR procedures when they are not needed could result in serious injury or death. CPR procedures will not save everyone even when they are properly performed. CPR, First Aid, and AED instruction should not be viewed by children or adults who will not fully understand the Materials and their potential consequences.
No Legal Advice
BLS Test Center does not offer or purport to offer legal advice. Any legal questions should be referred to a legal professional.
BLS Test Center does note the following general principles, which may or may not apply in any particular jurisdiction. A person must give consent to an offer of assistance before the rescuer renders aid. If a person is conscious, the rescuer should ask for consent before rendering help. Consent is implied if the person is unconscious, so badly hurt that the injury is potentially life-threatening or so ill that the person cannot respond. A rescuer should attempt to receive permission to render aid from a parent or guardian if the person is a minor or is mentally or emotionally handicapped. State "Good Samaritan" laws may provide rescuers with legal protection if the rescuer acts in good faith and is not guilty of gross negligence or reckless or willful misconduct. The scope of protection afforded by these laws varies from state to state; the rescuer should be familiar with the laws of any state in which he or she is rendering aid.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless,
BLS Test Center, its subsidiaries and other affiliated companies, all persons involved in the production and operation of the Site and its contents, suppliers and any third-party information providers to the Site from and against all losses, expenses, damages and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees.
