Real estate licensing in New Jersey, New York, and Florida has its own age, residency, and background requirements. Completion of a Course does not guarantee eligibility for licensure. You are responsible for confirming your eligibility with the applicable state real estate commission before enrolling.
3. Accounts
To purchase Services and access the LMS, you must create an Account and provide accurate, current information. You agree to keep your Account information up to date.
You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials. Do not share your Account with anyone. The Company is not liable for losses or damages caused by your Account credentials being shared, misused, or accessed by another person without your authorization.
If you believe your Account has been accessed without your permission, contact the Company immediately at info@recareercenter.com so we can suspend the Account and address any unauthorized activity.
The Company may suspend or terminate an Account at any time for violation of these Terms, non-payment, fraud, abusive conduct, or any other lawful reason. Where reasonable, we will provide notice and an explanation, but we reserve the right to terminate without prior notice when warranted.
4. Orders, Pricing, and Payment
No part of the Website constitutes a contractual offer. When you place an Order, you are making an offer that the Company may accept or decline at its sole discretion. A binding agreement is formed only when the Company sends you an order confirmation email or grants Account access to the purchased Course.
All prices are listed in US dollars and are subject to change. The price in effect at the time you place your Order is the price that applies to that Order.
Payment is due at the time of purchase unless a Payment Plan is in place. The Company accepts cash and major credit cards.
If a Course or Service is listed in error or with an incorrect price, the Company reserves the right to cancel the Order, refund any amount paid, and notify you.
5. Payment Plans
Payment Plans may be available for tuition and fees on selected Courses. Payment Plans require:
• A non-refundable deposit at the time of enrollment;
• A valid credit or debit card kept on file for scheduled payments;
• Payment of the remaining balance within two (2) weeks unless a different schedule is agreed to in writing.
Service fees are non-refundable.
Students with a balance outstanding for two (2) months or more may be removed from class rolls and lose access to the LMS until the balance is paid. Students with a balance outstanding for twelve (12) weeks or more without an alternative arrangement may be removed without refund of the deposit, and the Company will no longer track hours or permit the student to take the school exam until the balance is resolved.
Students removed for non-payment must reapply and pay all fees in full, including a new deposit, to resume coursework.
All Payment Plan modifications must be submitted in writing to info@recareercenter.com. The Company reserves the right to refuse modifications.
6. Refunds and Cancellations
All refund and withdrawal requests must be submitted in writing to management@recareercenter.com. Each request must state that you have read and understand this refund policy. A member of the management team will contact you within four (4) business days during regular business hours.

Where a credit is issued instead of a refund, the credit must be used within six (6) months of the original purchase date. Credits are not redeemable for cash and cannot be refunded after that period.
If a Course is transferred to a different Course at a lower price, the difference will remain as an account credit subject to the same six-month limit.
6.3 Class Transfers
On a case-by-case basis, the Company may permit a class transfer to a new person. Transfers are at the Company’s discretion and must be requested in writing.
6.4 Payment Disputes and Chargebacks
If a student disputes tuition or initiates a chargeback after purchase, the Company will deactivate the student’s dashboard and stop tracking hours until the dispute is resolved. The Company reserves the right to submit documentation, including the student’s personal information and Course records, to the payment processor or financial institution to respond to the dispute.
7. Class Schedule, Cancellations, and Make-Ups
The Company publishes its class schedule up to six (6) months in advance at recareercenter.com/schedule. Schedules are subject to change.
If a class is canceled by the Company for any reason, the affected chapter or session may be made up the next time it is offered with a live instructor, regardless of the schedule format the student selected. The class rotation will not be changed because of a cancellation or holiday.
Insufficient enrollment may cause a class to be canceled or postponed. Students should check the schedule regularly for updates.
Class cancellations, postponements, and removals will be posted under “Announcements” on the CFREEConnect Dashboard and at recareercenter.com/schedule.
In the event of inclement weather or other emergency, schedule changes will be posted on the Website and on the dashboard. The Company is not responsible for travel, transportation, parking, accidents, or any other costs or losses associated with traveling to 14 Bergen Street, Hackensack, NJ.
8. Classroom Conduct and NJREC Rules
All students are expected to maintain a respectful environment toward instructors, staff, and other students. Disruptive behavior will not be tolerated.
• At the instructor’s discretion, any student causing a disruption may be removed from class. Repeated or serious infractions are grounds for expulsion. No refund, credit, or reenrollment will be given for a student dismissed for disruptive conduct.
• Cell phones, smart watches, and personal electronic devices must be turned off or silenced during class.
• Recording of any class, by audio or video, is strictly prohibited as required by the New Jersey Real Estate Commission (NJREC) and Company policy.
• Live online students may use Zoom chat for class-related questions only. Sharing inappropriate content, links, or other disruptive material in chat will result in removal from class.
• In-person students are provided with coffee, tea, water, and candy. These items are for student consumption during class. Taking quantities beyond personal consumption is grounds for losing in-person class privileges.
9. Course Approvals and No Guarantee of Licensure
CFREE Courses are approved by the New Jersey Real Estate Commission, the New York Department of State, and the Florida Real Estate Commission as applicable to each Course at the time of approval. Approvals, course content requirements, hour requirements, and exam standards are set by each state regulator and are subject to change. The Company will update Courses as required to maintain approval, and changes may be applied to Courses already in progress.
Completion of a Course does not guarantee that you will pass any state, school, or licensing examination, obtain a real estate license, secure employment, earn any specific income, or be approved by any state authority. Licensing decisions are made solely by the applicable state regulator.
10. Books, Materials, and Shipping
All sales of books, study materials, and merchandise are final. No refunds will be issued on Materials.
• If a book is shipped to you, you are responsible for entering the correct shipping address. The Company is not responsible if an incorrect address is entered by the student.
• Additional fees may apply if a package is returned to sender or needs to be re-shipped because of an address error.
• The Company is not responsible for items lost, stolen, or damaged in transit. Claims for lost, stolen, or damaged items must be filed with the shipping carrier within 30 days of the original shipment date.
• If a package is shown as delivered to the address you provided, the Company reserves the right to charge for shipping, handling, and any associated costs if a replacement is requested.
• The Company does not ship to PO Boxes.
Transcripts are not provided during or after the Course. Students who require proof of completion should retain their certificate of completion issued by the LMS.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or lost-profit damages, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
