Welcome to Tests.ca! Please note at the outset that we are a private testing organization whose purpose is to assist you in taking the driver’s licence examination in your province.

The adult parent or guardian must confirm to tests.ca that he/she/they are aware of the applicant’s enrollment in the program and that they give permission for same, along with acknowledging their responsibility to pay, according to our normal protocol, any fees that are incurred by the minor.

In that connection, we do not collect information from or accept any form of account relating to  any minor 13 years of age or younger.

1.02    SIGNATURES, ELECTRONIC NOTICES, OTHER CONSENTS

(A)     Digital Signature.  By registering for a Premium account, or by using any of the free tests, you are deemed to have executed this Agreement, the Privacy Policy and other related materials that may be referenced, effective on the date you first registered or used the free tests, whichever occurs first. Pursuant to the U.S. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (the E-Sign Act) (15 U.S.C. § 7001, et seq.), your account registration or starting your first use of our practice test constitutes an acknowledgement that you are able to electronically receive, download, and print this Agreement, the other Terms and Conditions, and any amendments.

(B)      Consent To Use and Receive Electronic Records and Notices.   You may at times be entitled to receive certain records or notices from Tests.ca, such as amendments, notifications, changes, communications, and the like.  To facilitate your use of our Website and services, you give us permission to provide these records to you electronically by email or on the Website instead of in paper form.

We do reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to communicate with you via your email address under which your account is registered.  At the same time, your consent to receive records and notices electronically will remain in effect until you withdraw it.  You may withdraw your consent to receive further records and notices electronically at any time by contacting Customer Support.  If you withdraw your consent, however, we will revoke your access to the Site and the Site Services, and you will no longer be permitted to use the Site or the Site Services.  Any withdrawal of your consent to receive records and notices electronically will be effective only after we have a reasonable period of time to process your request for withdrawal.  Please note that your withdrawal of consent to receive records and notices electronically will not apply to records and notices electronically provided by us to you before the withdrawal of your consent becomes effective.

(C)     Password Security.    When you complete the registration process, you will choose or receive a password that will allow you to access our website and services. You agree to maintain the confidentiality of your password and are fully responsible for all liability and damages resulting from your failure to maintain that confidentiality.  You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your password or any other breach of security. You agree that Our Website cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with password security as discussed herein.

(D)      Keeping Your Address And Email Address Current.  In order to ensure that we are able to provide records and notices to you electronically, you agree to notify us immediately of any change in your email address by updating your Account information on the Site or by contacting Customer Support.

(E)      Duty to Provide Factual, Current and Truthful Information.  You, the Client, hereby acknowledge, understand and agree that you will furnish factual, correct, current and complete information regarding yourself and other requested information. You agree to maintain and promptly update your registration, profile, and other requested information so that it is accurate, complete and updated. If anyone knowingly provides false, untrue, deceptive, inaccurate or incomplete information, Tests.ca has the right in its discretion to suspend or terminate the violating User/Client, and to refuse all current or future use of our services, or any portion thereof, including the processing or completion of any pending transactions and the forfeiture of payments made.

1.03    NO GOVERNMENT AFFILIATION – PROVINCIAL MANUAL GOVERNS.

As stated, we are not owned, operated or affiliated with the Government. Tests.ca is not connected to any provincial or federal government or to any other agency or mechanism that administers, creates, processes or grades driving licence or learner's permit examinations. Our website contains general information regarding the driver's examinations in each Canadian province for informational and educational purposes only. Where we make a definitive statement regarding the test or the motor vehicle laws or regulations in your province, we are referencing your province’s official driver's handbook and/or your province’s motor vehicle laws.  In rare instances, our interpretation of the driver's manual’s wording may be inaccurate in some respect;  you hereby recognize this fact and agree to always rely on the manual and laws in your province as the final word on the official test materials.

Our practice tests are intended for training and learning purposes only. We do not represent that you will get the same exact questions and answers on the official examination.  The practice tests are intended to give you a good idea of what to expect and what to pay particular attention to while studying the driver’s handbook for your province. The testing that we provide tries to follow as closely as possible the subject matter stressed in the driver's handbooks but the actual test questions can never be assuredly predicted so that the client/customer agrees and acknowledges that the testing and learning techniques are helpful tools but they can never assure certain test questions or answers, nor a certain result on an official provincial examination.

All drivers’ handbooks presented at Tests.ca are also publicly available at the official web sites of provincial government websites.

We are confident that our program mirrors closely the material concepts that will be on your official exam. That is because our experienced experts have spent years continually reviewing each province’s driver's manual to sift the key and changing material for your assistance and preparation. You should, however, always expect to see questions on the official examination that are worded differently from what you have seen before. Fortunately, our experts have incorporated into the Tests.ca program important learning techniques regarding test preparation so that you will know how to read, approach and analyze the official questions in the most effective manner possible.  If you follow the program that we lay out for you and stay focused on learning the material, your chances will be greatly enhanced.

Each account (free or Premium) is for individual use only and is not to be shared among multiple users unless the additional services are duly purchased through Tests.ca. If the account content is accessed more times than an individual average user then Tests.ca reserves the right to block the account from future use.
6. This Agreement does not create any kind of agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchisor-franchisee relationship between us.

Whenever you access a link to another entity that is separate from our Website, you are responsible to read and follow the separate terms and conditions of that entity.

If we decide in our sole discretion that the notice of amendment should be sent to your email address, then we may choose that method of delivery in addition to website posting.  If you continue to use the services after an amendment is published, that is confirmation by you of your acceptance of the amendment(s) or changes. The latest Agreement, with all changes or modifications, will always be accessible on our Website, and for that reason, your continued use of the site is evidence of your acceptance of any updates, revisions, amendments, changes, deletions, additions or modifications to this Agreement.

2.4     OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Our Website may contain our service marks or trademarks as well as those of our affiliates or other companies, in the form of words, graphics, and logos. Your use of our Website or Services does not constitute any right or license for you to use our service marks or trademarks, without the prior written permission of Tests.ca.

Our content in our website and services is protected under Canadian and foreign copyrights. The copying, redistribution, use or publication by you of any such content is prohibited. Your use of our website and services does not grant you any ownership or other rights to our content, trademarks, logos, or other intellectual property.

3.0     PREMIUM SERVICES

(A)     Increase Your Chances With Premium.  We provide a basic service that you can use for free. This includes the basic practice tests, content and functionality. Tests.ca also provides several membership and subscription options that we refer to collectively as “Premium.”  These enhancements include additional practice tests, content and/or upgraded functionality. Your prospects for passing are enhanced significantly when you complete an applicable Premium program as directed.  In fact, your chances are so well substantiated that we even created a program called Pass Guarantee.  These features and the Premium Fee schedules can be viewed on our Website at: https://tests.ca/premium/. The Fees are subject to different membership plans, gift plans and promotions, and the fees and plans may be modified, increased or changed at any time without advance notice. You can access the latest updated information on our Website. Website users who want to add mobile or tablet access will pay an additional fee and may contact our customer help desk. Consult our website for all prices and features of our programs. PDF e-books are available for download as electronic files only.  Tests.ca does not provide paper copies. In addition, the practice tests are available online and there is no behind-the-wheel component included.
(B)     Prices and Payment Method.  All prices appearing on our Website are subject to change without notice. When you open a Premium Account, you authorize Tests.ca to charge the payment method you submitted for all charges that you generate by our services. The different programs and the payment plans, if any, and amounts are set forth on our Website. The automobile and motorcycle operator’s Premium Plan is offered as a one-time upfront payment without renewals, while Commercial Driver's Licence Premium is offered as both an automatically renewed monthly membership and a one-time payment. Again, you may get all of the details and make an informed decision by reviewing the materials on the Tests.ca Website.

4.0     REFUND/CANCELLATION POLICY AND PASS GUARANTEE

(A)      Pass Guarantee:   We are so confident of the results of our powerful learning and testing techniques that we devised a way for customers who do not pass the official knowledge exam to receive a full refund under certain limited, specified conditions.  The Pass Guarantee will be provided only to a customer who meets the following conditions and qualifications:

1. The customer must enable Pass Guarantee protection on the website when prompted (immediately after logging into their Premium account for the first time), and successfully pass every practice test for his or her provicne/territory on Tests.ca.
2. The customer must fail their official knowledge test administered by their provincial testing centre and provide a true and correct copy of official proof of failure.
3. The customer must  email us at [email protected] and request a refund under the Pass Guarantee program within 30 days of purchasing a Premium account. We will decide in our sole discretion whether an individual who requests a Refund is entitled to one. Any changes in the foregoing procedures will be instituted at our sole and exclusive discretion and will be published online at our Website and on this page. We reserve the right to modify the conditions for Pass Guarantee at our sole discretion but we will strive to give notification on the Website or herein so that our customers will know the rules. We reserve the right to discontinue this program without advance notice at our sole discretion.

(B)     Refund Policy:    Tests.ca also has a discretionary Refund Policy for Premium customers. You hereby acknowledge and agree that, despite reference to a refund policy, that Tests.ca has a standard no-refund policy. Like most website businesses, we do not grant refunds because the economic cost of opening, establishing, processing and maintaining a customer’s account is formidable. Therefore, we issue refunds only in rare, meritorious cases, in our sole and exclusive discretion. We sometimes issue a refund where a technical problem has arisen in the delivery or quality of the product or service to the customer. However, you must contact us first and attempt to resolve the obstacle first. If the problem could have been easily resolved and you do not timely contact us about it, then we will not consider a refund.  A technical problem that could justify a refund if it cannot be quickly fixed in certain situations is:

1. Non-delivery of the product: due to some mailing issues of your e-mail provider or mail server, or some technical glitch on our side, you might not receive a delivery email from us. In this case, contacting us for assistance will often resolve the problem.
2. Major defects: although all the PDF products (Cheat Sheets) are thoroughly tested before release, unexpected errors may occur. Such issues must be reported directly to our technical support department, which usually will result in a resolution, correction and/or re-issuance of the product where we deem it to be justified and appropriate.
3. Product not-as-described: such issues must be reported to our technical support within 14 days from the date of the purchase. Clear evidence must be provided proving that the purchased product is not as it is described on the product description page.

Complaints which are based merely on the customer's false expectations or wishes are not honored.  By way of example and not by way of limitation, there is no obligation to provide a refund or credit in the following situations:

1. You changed your mind about the service;
2. You bought the service by mistake;
3. You do not have sufficient expertise to use the service.
4. You need return of your money for some other purpose.

Once a request for refund is received, Tests.ca will review it. If we in our sole and exclusive discretion believe that a refund, either partial or total, is warranted, we will issue the amount that we determine within 14 business days. Once the refund is issued, the customer's Premium account will be downgraded to a free account.  Please note that when purchasing a product or service through our website you, as a customer, are considered to be aware of our Refund Policy statements and all of the within Terms and Conditions that may be applicable.

(C)     Cancellation policy.   Customers may cancel their Premium membership and/or subscription at any time by emailing [email protected] and providing their membership name and e-mail address. If a refund is requested, include your reason for the request. If you cancel your subscription plan after you have paid your current month’s payment, no refund is provided. No refunds are provided for our withdrawal of payments from your automatic renewal program, and as stated below, it is up to you to take steps to stop the automatic payments from recurring. You can do this within our Website. In order to prevent the next upcoming automatic renewal withdrawal, you must inform us of the cancellation within 5 days prior to your subscription renewal date and at the same time you must take the steps to disengage the auto renewal function by going onto our Website and following instructions. Therefore, in order to assure that you are not charged by auto renewal during a transitionary period, you must act in advance, as stated, and prior to the funds being withdrawn by the automatic renewal process. Once the funds are withdrawn, a request for a refund is invalid and not honored.

(D)     Cessation of Services Upon Cancellation or Failure to Pay.   We will cease to provide services on your subscription renewal date if you have either notified us of a cancelation prior to that date or if you fail to provide pre-payment for the renewal of the next 30-day period of service, or if you withdraw the authorized pre-payment from your payor.

(E)      Recurring Subscriptions and Automatic Renewal of Premium Account.  If you select a Service with an auto-renewal feature (“Recurring Subscription”), such as but not limited to CDL Premium Monthly, you authorize Tests.ca to maintain your account information and charge that account automatically upon the renewal of the Service you choose, with no further action required by you. In the event that Tests.ca is unable to charge your account as authorized by you when you enrolled in a Recurring Subscription, Tests.ca may, in its sole discretion, bill you for the Service and suspend your access to the Service until payment is received. It is your responsibility to cancel the service auto-renewal once it is no longer needed. If you subscribed on our website, you can cancel auto-renewal by contacting Support at [email protected] or by going to Settings in your account. If you subscribed using one of our apps, you can cancel the subscription on your device. At the discretion of Tests.ca, we may be unable to provide a full or partial refund in the event that you are charged by our automatic renewal function for services not used.

4.1     CHARGEBACKS

AS STATED, WE HAVE A NO REFUND, NO CHARGEBACK POLICY.  Although partial or total refunds may be paid at Tests.ca’s discretion under very limited circumstances, the rule in most instances is that we do not issue refunds and we prohibit and may penalize your use of chargeback procedures with your payment service. If you have an issue with a charge or payment to us, you hereby agree to contact us first for clarification of the charge before you contact your credit card company to request a dispute or reversal of the charge. Therefore, if you want to use the service, you hereby agree that chargebacks are not to be used under any circumstances.  You shall not make any chargebacks and/or deny or reverse any payment made by you regarding a bill owed to Tests.ca,  and you shall reimburse us for any loss or damage that we incur because of any such action by you or your financial institution or representative, including reimbursement to us of reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred in collecting the amount owed. You promise to pay promptly all your debts to Tests.ca, and you agree that we shall have all rights of collection stated herein.  You understand and acknowledge that the use of chargeback procedures could result in your preclusion from using our free services as well as our premium programs.

4.2     RESOLUTION OF CONFLICTS PROCEDURE

Tests.ca is committed to providing a great service to our customers. We therefore expect to resolve any issues between us in a mutually satisfactory manner. Most disputes or disagreements are minor, and they are resolved in-house between us on an informal basis. When you have an issue, you may communicate directly with a representative of the company. If the initial contact does not resolve your issue, then put it in writing and send to [email protected].  We will review again and respond within 48 hours. We will continue to discuss the issue if we are still at an impasse. This will be a process of mediation where we will informally try to find an acceptable ground for both sides of the issue. If there is no possibility of a resolution, you will have the option of bringing a civil action in a court of applicable jurisdiction and venue, but you understand and agree to be limited by the damages cap listed below.

5.0     DISCLAIMERS – NO WARRANTIES AND NO LIABILITY FOR LOSSES

Although there are limitations to our liability, your satisfaction is very important to us. We encourage you to contact us at any time that you feel that our services are not in accordance with our mutual agreement. We hope to avoid conflicts by having our courteous, proactive administrative staff assist you every step of the way and try to accommodate your expressed needs within reasonable standards accepted in the industry. 

However, you, the Client, affirm that you understand and agree that the intensity of competition online is great, and we must limit our potential liability to the maximum degree allowed by law.  Therefore, you agree to the following limitations, and if you do not, you will cease the registration process and exit the site. Your continued use of the site indicates your voluntary understanding and agreement to the following limitations, waivers, disclaimers, hold harmless provisions and to other such provisions contained elsewhere in the Terms and Conditions.
