Refund Policy

As outlined in the terms of service, which was agreed upon at purchase, the enrollee is responsible to testing computer equipment. Computer must be tested prior to enrollment. Test computer at https://sprucerealestateschool.com/testvideo/. The test confirms the computer software will properly play on the user’s computer prior to enrollment. Make note to test video playback, a COMPUTER running chrome browser is required. DO NOT USE A MOBILE DEVICE TO TEST YOUR COMPUTER. Once enrolled, the educational software used within the course is reported by some users to function on mobile devices. However, there may be some limitations. This program was developed for DESKTOP PC or LAPTOP, either Macintosh or Windows based. Some third party apps like “puffin browser” allow the interactive lectures to work well on a mobile device. We recommend using a desktop or laptop device for the tested /developed reliability one might expect. Also, agreed in the terms of service is that the enrollee acknowledged that it is necessary to take and pass a background check for the West Virginia Real Estate Commission to consider your application. There are many requirements that must be met to get your real estate license. Spruce School of Real Estate only meets the education requirement.

Spruce School of Real Estate Responsibilities

"Academic enrollment term" is defined as regularly established divisions of a school year, each with an established starting and ending date

The learner is enrolling in a “home study” online course. The learner's academic enrollment term is a 3 month term which starts the day you sign up and will run for 90 calendar days thereafter. You will remain “subscribed” to the resources the site provides for a FULL YEAR, which gives you access to materials AFTER your enrollment term ends so that you might refresh at your own pace and review materials for the state real estate licensing exam as needed. However, 3 months is the “enrollment term” that is officially in place. This is referring to 90 calendar days from the date you first signed up and paid. This use of wording is important for the following refund breakdown.
