Can
I try the Course before I pay?
You must pay the Course fee when you
enroll. Our no risk refund policy allows you to obtain a full refund up to three days after you enroll in the
Course if you decide for any reason not to complete all
of the lessons – no questions asked & no risk to you.
(See the Enrollment Agreement for a full description of the
Refund Policy.)
Can
I take breaks and/or review the lessons?
Yes. You can complete the Course in
one sitting, or over several days or weeks—up to 90 days from
the date you enroll. You can start and stop any lesson at your
convenience—when you log back in, you’ll return to the point
where you logged out. You can also go back and review lessons. It’s
up to you.
What
should I do if the Court requires an instructor’s signature?
If your Court requires an
instructor’s signature on a specific form in addition to the
Certificate of Completion, please fax the form to 1-214-504-9958 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 1-214-504-9958 end_of_the_skype_highlighting.
Please provide your return fax number and we’ll return the
signed form to you via fax or, if you don’t have a fax number available,
we will mail it to you.
I
waited too long! Will the Court give me an extension?
Call the Court at the number on your
ticket and ask about the Court’s policy. Some Courts may grant
you an extension request over the phone; others may require you
to appear in person. SAFETY-USA™ has no control over whether you
can obtain an extension of time and has no input regarding this
or any other Court process.
How
can I pay for the Course?

online is the fastest, easiest way. SAFETY-USA™ accepts Visa,
MasterCard, Discover and American Express credit or debit cards.

any reason not to complete all of the lessons.
If you have already completed all of the lessons or
have been Disqualified from the Course at any time during your
90-day Enrollment Period, no refund is available.
I’ve
already paid the Court. Why do I have to pay for the Course?
The administrative fees and fines
imposed by the Court, if any, are separate from the registration
fee SAFETY-USA™ charges for this Course; all must be paid.
Where
can I read the terms under which I can take this Course?
You will find the terms in the
"Enrollment Agreement" for the Course. You’ll need to “Accept"
the terms before beginning the Course.
What
are the minimum system requirements for Course completion?
To help you determine that you can
view and use the Safety-Ed™ Course, we will evaluate some of
your computer settings before you begin the Course. For more
detail about system requirements, please review the SAFETY-USA™ System Requirements.
Do
I need any special software or hardware?
You need a computer with a mouse,
keyboard, speakers and Internet connection—a fast Internet
connection (such as cable or DSL) is best. You will need
Macromedia Flash 7.0 to view the Course, with its video clips
and animation. If you don’t have this software, download Flash 7.0 here free - it’s easy and it
only takes a few moments. You don’t need a printer to take the
Course.

Do
I need an e-mail address?
No, not to complete the Course. But
we recommend that you provide an e-mail address so that we can
send you confirmations of your login & password and payment
information, as well as a confirmation of your completion of the
Course. You can also exchange e-mail messages or chat with our
customer support staff. SAFETY-USA™ will not reveal your e-mail
address to any unrelated third parties.
What
if I lose my connection or have a computer problem?
The Course automatically saves your
progress when you complete each page in the Course, so you won’t
have to start over if you lose your connection to the website,
or if your computer crashes. Just resume the Course when you’re
able—you’ll be returned to the last page you were viewing.
What
if I forget my password?
First, check your enrollment
confirmation—it will list your password if you chose to have us
e-mail it to you. If you don’t have your confirmation, click on Help Me Remember My Password. If that doesn’t work,
contact us at 1-800-980-2170 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 1-800-980-2170 end_of_the_skype_highlighting (Hearing impaired can call 1-800-980-2172 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 1-800-980-2172 end_of_the_skype_highlighting TDD/TTY). We’ll be happy to help you.
I’m
having trouble starting or resuming the Course.
Be sure that you’re entering your
username and password exactly the way you provided it when you
enrolled.
If you’re stuck on a page, click on your
web browser’s “Refresh" button.
It may help to clear your temporary
Internet files, or “cache." If you use Internet Explorer, just
click on “Tools" on Explorer’s toolbar, then choose “Internet
Options" and click on “Delete Files" (including “All Offline
Content"). If you are using Netscape or Mozilla, you’ll find options for
clearing your cache in Preferences—click on the “Advanced" tab
within Preferences, and then the “cache" item for options.

I
just got an error message. What now?
Try logging out and then logging
back in by clicking Resume Course.
Don’t worry, your progress won’t be lost. If the problem
persists, please make a note of the specific error message and
contact us at 1-800-980-2170 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 1-800-980-2170 end_of_the_skype_highlighting (Hearing impaired can call 1-800-980-2172 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 1-800-980-2172 end_of_the_skype_highlighting TDD/TTY).
The
Course pages on the web site are not appearing; what should I
do?
If the Course pages are not loading
completely, you may want to disconnect & reconnect your
Internet connection, restart your computer and log back in. This
type of problem is typically caused by your Internet Service
Provider (“ISP") and heavy Internet traffic. If you continue to
experience problems, we recommend exiting and returning at a later time
to complete the Course when the Internet traffic is not as
heavy.
The
Course is very small on my screen. What can I do to make it
larger?
To maximize the possible viewing
area, first close “Favorites" if they are open on the left side
of the screen.
In Internet Explorer, select from the menu
“View" then “Toolbars." Uncheck extra toolbars that are
selected. This will minimize the “header" area in your Internet
browser.
What
are your hours of operation?
We are available for support 24
hours a day, seven days a week, except Christmas and New Year’s
Day. You can reach us at help@SAFETY-USA.com,
or by phone at 1-800-980-2170 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 1-800-980-2170 end_of_the_skype_highlighting (Hearing impaired can call 1-800-980-2172 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 1-800-980-2172 end_of_the_skype_highlighting TDD/TTY). The SAFETY-USA website is available 24/7.
How
do I use the multimedia pages in the Safety-Ed™ Course?
In most cases, the media elements in
the Safety-Ed™ Course are self-operating – that is, video
elements, sound and animations will play as they’re available
without any additional action by you.
When using video elements, you can
pause/restart playback at any point by using the large “play
button” control element, or adjust the volume using a
video-specific volume controller on the video playback module.
You can view interactive or animated
elements again by using the “Replay” button as available.
