E-SIGN DISCLOSURE AND AGREEMENT
(Rev. 08/23/2025)
This E-SIGN Disclosure and Agreement (“E-SIGN Agreement”) applies to your use of the
Sylvan Learning websites, including but not limited to sylvanlearning.com and
sylvanlearningfranchise.com (collectively, “Websites”). Please take this opportunity to
review the following disclosures and information about using Sylvan Learning and its
subsidiaries’ (“Sylvan Learning” or “we”) Websites. If you are under the age of 18, you
are not allowed to purchase a Sylvan Learning or use the Websites.
E-SIGN Disclosure and Agreement for Websites
As part of your relationship with Sylvan Learning, we want to ensure you have all of the
information you need to effectively navigate the Websites. Sylvan Learning is required by
law to give you certain information “in writing,” which means you are entitled to receive
it on paper. We may, however, provide some of this information to you electronically,
instead, with your prior consent. This E-SIGN Agreement describes how Sylvan Learning
communicates with you electronically, provides additional detail about the Electronic
Transactional Communications (as that term is defined below) that we provide you, and sets
out hardware and software requirements you need to receive these Electronic Transactional
Communications. Please review this E-SIGN Agreement as it applies to Electronic
Transactional Communications and will be effective until expressly withdrawn by you.
Electronic Transactional Communications
You agree and consent to receive electronically Sylvan Learning initiated transactional
communications, agreements, statements, notices and disclosures (collectively, “Electronic
Transactional Communications”) that we provide in connection with Sylvan Learning’s
products, services and Websites. Electronic Transactional Communications include, but are
not limited to: agreements and policies you agree to (e.g., the Membership Agreement,
Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, the E-SIGN Agreement, and Accessibility Policy), including
updates to or related to these documents (e.g. increases to your Membership Dues or
material changes to agreements).
When you have opted into receiving such Electronic Transactional Communications, we may
provide these Electronic Transactional Communications to you by posting them on the
Websites or by emailing them to you at the primary email address listed in your Sylvan
Learning membership account. Electronic Transactional Communications will be emailed to
the primary email address associated with your membership.
Receipt of Electronic Transactional Communications; Contact Information
Electronic Transactional Communications will be deemed received by you when such
Electronic Transactional Communication is posted or sent to you. You agree that if Sylvan
Learning sends you an Electronic Transactional Communication but you do not receive it
because your primary email address on file is incorrect, out of date, blocked by your
service provider, or you are otherwise unable to receive Electronic Transactional
Communications, Sylvan Learning will be deemed to have provided the Electronic
Transactional Communication to you.
You may not be able to update your information or transact using the Sylvan Learning
online membership portal and Sylvan Learning’s Websites until we receive a valid, working
primary email address from you. If you use a spam filter or similar software that blocks
or re-routes emails from senders not listed in your email address book, we recommend that
you add Sylvan Learning to your email address book so that you can receive Electronic
Transactional Communications by email. (Please note: Websites and emails come from
“@sylvanlearning.com” or “@unleashedbrands.com” domains.)
