Terms and Conditions

Passit.ca is owned and operated by Pixel Pros Inc. Read all terms and conditions carefully before using the website. If you do not agree with all terms and conditions contained herein, do not use this site. These terms and conditions also appear when purchasing any Passit Online Study Guide and must be agreed to by clicking the I have read and agree to the above terms, conditions and privacy policy checkbox, before accessing the specific guide.

Single User, Timed Access Only

The right to use any Passit Online Study Guide is strictly based on a single user arrangement. The term single user is defined as restricted access by one user from one computer at a time. A user can access the program from any chosen location provided that only one login is active at any given time (i.e., no concurrent use on different computers). Any user is strictly prohibited from sharing a study guide, selling access to a study guide or otherwise transferring access, in any way including offering to do so or advertising to do so, the right to use a study guide to any other person or organization. Pixel Pros Inc. reserves the right to monitor access dates, times and IP addresses to prevent unauthorized access or misuse of the site. Under no circumstances is multi-user use permitted; i.e., two or more individuals having access to a single study guide. Single-user access is closely monitored and strictly enforced. Pixel Pros Inc. reserves the right to immediately terminate, at its sole and absolute discretion, a user's access upon suspicion of multi-user access. See also Termination.

     The right to use is based on timed access; i.e., a specified time period beginning at point of activation. Access is automatically terminated at the end of that specified period. Timed access varies by individual study guide. A user may purchase an extension of time as outlined in the "Extend Expiry" page from within an ACTIVE guide. A decision to purchase additional days by way of an extension, rather than purchasing another full access period, is at the sole discretion of the user. The non-use of any time-period for a particular study guide does not give rise to a refund or transferral of time to any other study guide.

System Requirements/Web Access

A system check is provided on the website for those purchasing a Passit Online Study Guide. The user is responsible to ensure compatibility before buying. Pixel Pros Inc. will not take responsibility for users experiencing computer difficulties arising from, but not limited to, existing virus damage, hardware failure, software incompatibilities, legacy equipment or equipment that doesn't meet the stated minimum specifications. Further, support will not be provided for requests resulting from a lack of general knowledge in standard computer usage, e-mail abilities and basic browser functionality. The user must also provide a computer with a connection to the Web, and pay any associated fees for such connection.

Confidentiality, Unauthorized Use and Indemnification

Passit Online Study Guides are accessed by way of the user's e-mail address and password. You are responsible to ensure that the password, chosen at point of activation, is kept confidential. A unique e-mail address is required for activation; i.e., two Passit.ca users cannot share the same e-mail address. When granted access to a Passit Online Study Guide, you are responsible for any subsequent use of that study guide, including any unauthorized use by others. You must report any unauthorized use or known breach of security immediately to the Study Guide Administrator. Lastly, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Pixel Pros Inc. from any damages, costs or other matters involving yourself, including the failing of any examination, or involving third parties that result from such use or misuse.

User Conduct

Pixel Pros Inc. reserves the right at all times and without limitation to terminate access if, in Pixel Pros Inc.'s sole determination, the user through conduct or e-mail communication promotes or contains any sexually explicit, illegal, obscene, discriminatory or harassing materials, or any other conduct or communication that is judged unsuitable by Pixel Pros Inc. for any other reason. Any decision regarding termination is at Pixel Pros Inc.'s sole and absolute discretion.

     Pixel Pros Inc. also reserves the right at all times and without limitation to terminate access if, in Pixel Pros Inc.'s sole determination, the user through conduct via e-mail communciation or ANY OTHER communication incuding forums, blogs and other social media, promotes or contains any derogatory, erroneous, nuisance-related, provoking, annoying and/or unprofessional material which is judged unsuitable, unacceptable or unwarranted by Pixel Pros Inc.

     Pixel Pros Inc. also reserves the right at all times and without limitation to refuse any subsequent activation(s) and associated usage of any and all Passit Online Study Guides by persons who have been previously terminated due to unacceptable User Conduct as described above.

     Any refund due to termination involving User Conduct is at the sole and absolute discretion of Pixel Pros Inc.

Study Aid Only, No Content Support

Passit Online Study Guides are study aids only. No support is given for course content. The Study Guide Administrator is only authorized to address e-mail inquiries regarding activation problems, technical hardware/software issues, software malfunciton of the question/answer database and other software-related issues. The "Report a Problem" feature within any study guides is to be used only by users experiencing difficulties with the aforementioned issues. It is NOT to be utilized by users who are having difficulty applying course content interpretation to Passit questions. Any abuse of the "Report a Problem" feature in this regard, is deemed to be inappropriate and a violation of User Conduct for purposes of these "Terms and Conditions" and is subject to immediate termination at the sole and absolute discretion of Pixel Pros Inc.

     No assistance is provided regarding course content, including its interpretation or clarification. However, all study guide questions do include applicable topic/subtopic references (including page numbers for the printed text) in the applicable course. Students should use facilities provided by the OREA Real Estate College and, more particularly, the OREA Instructor Support Line at 1-866-444-5557 (Monday – Friday, 9:30am – 4:00pm) for all content-related issues. Users agree not to copy questions from any study guide for posting in the OREA forum, as this is a violation of copyright and may result in immediate cancellation of access to the applicable study guide.

Ontario Use Only

Passit Online Study Guides are developed for courses offered in Ontario leading to registration as a real estate salesperson or broker. Persons accessing this website or purchasing these study guides from other jurisdictions do so at their own discretion and risk. Information provided relates only to Ontario and the user must determine what may or may not apply within his/her respective jurisdiction.

No Representation Regarding Examination

Passit Online Study Guides offer various study aids to help students in reviewing and recalling course content, and are not in any way a substitute for the course text. Pixel Pros Inc. makes no representation whatsoever regarding whether a student will successfully pass the respective examination conducted by the OREA Real Estate College. The successful completion of any OREA examination is based on personal skills, knowledge and aptitude, the ability to effectively handle a test environment, the particular exam generated from OREA's question database and a thorough and complete understanding of the entire course text. Pixel Pros Inc. accepts no responsibility for and excludes all liability in connection with such matters. The user agrees to hold Pixel Pros Inc. safe and harmless from any associated costs or damages.

     Passit Online Study Guides include a Test Mode. The Test Mode is NOT an examination, nor is it intended to accurately reflect what questions would be included in any examination. Marks given for correct answers in Test Mode are for feedback purposes and personal assessment of knowledge acquired. Marks attained in Test Mode do not, in any way, indicate possible success in the respective course examination conducted by the OREA Real Estate College.

     Passit Online Study Guides (with one exception) include an Exam Simulator. The Exam Simulator provides selected questions from the OREA exam question database, which have been retired from use. Users acessing and using the Exam Simulator acknowledge that this is NOT an examination, nor is it intended to accurately reflect what questions would be included in any examination. Marks attained in Exam Mode do not, in any way, indicate possible success in the respective course examination conducted by the OREA Real Estate College. Users should NOT at any time solely rely on the Exam Simulator for study purposes, as this feature contains a limited exposure to topics, which might be found in an actual examination. The purpose of the Exam Simulator is to assist users by providing access to typical wordings, question structures and other details which may be included in an examination.

Service Disruption/No Access

Passit Online Study Guides are accessed by way of contracted host servers that are highly reliable, but some service interruptions are inevitable. Many factors beyond the direct control of Pixel Pros Inc. and Passit Online Study Guides can result in these disruptions that do not relate directly to our software. Accordingly, Pixel Pros Inc. and Passit Online Study Guides make no warranty or representation that this website and associated guides will not be interrupted or the length of time that such interruptions may last. Persons accessing the online study guides should act prudently by scheduling adequate study times over the access period for the respective guide, thereby minimizing the impact of a service interruption(s) at an inconvenient time. This caution is particularly directed to students who leave online study activities until one or two days before an examination, only to be frustrated should an unexpected service disruption occur.

Performance-Based Feedback

Passit Online Study Guides include selected performance-based tracking devices to assist individual users in self-assessing learning progress while using a specific guide. Collection of this performance-based information, including correct/incorrect answers, is used solely as feedback both via software reporting mechanisms transmitted directly to the user and/or in e-mail communication with the user, where deemed relevant by Pixel Pros Inc. See our Privacy Policy for further details about the collection and use of personal information. Pixel Pros Inc. uses aggregated, non-personal information derived from user database activity to analyze overall trends, improve service, highlight course problem areas for users, enhance the learning process, and perform question reliability/validation analysis when necessary.

OREA College Closing—November 30, 2020

Purchase, activation of, and access to Passit Guides for OREA College courses will end coincident with the closing of the OREA Real Estate College in November, 2020. Study Guides for the new Humber College program will be sequentially introduced when those courses are made available in 2019.
