Terms of Service
Effective October 1, 2026 · Last updated October 1, 2026
Don’t pass the state exam after 3 tries within 2 years? We refund your class. Details
Renew your commission with us every time it comes up, as long as you’re a California notary. Details
1. Agreement
These Terms are an agreement between you and EZNotaryClass.com Inc. (“EZ Notary Class,” “we,” “us”). They cover eznotaryclass.com and all of our classes, products and services (the “Services”). By creating an account, buying anything or using the site, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the Services. You must be at least 18 years old to buy from us.
2. Your account
- Give us accurate information and keep it up to date. The name on your account should match your legal name, because it appears on your Proof of Completion.
- Your account is for you only. Don’t share your login or let anyone else take the class for you. The state requires that you complete the training.
- Keep your password private. You’re responsible for activity on your account.
3. Classes and access
- When you buy the California Notary Class, you get online access to the course videos and included materials (including the Loan Signing class and bonuses listed at checkout) for 2 years from your purchase date.
- After access ends, you can buy an extension if one is offered at the time.
- Proof of Completion is issued once you finish the state-required course time and requirements. Course progress is tracked by our system.
- We may update, improve or reorganize course content at any time, for example to follow changes in California law.
- Live sessions, mentorship and add-on courses are governed by the description shown when you buy them.
4. The state process
Our class prepares you for the California notary exam. We are an approved education vendor (#607272), but we are not the State of California, the Secretary of State or CPS HR Consulting. The state sets exam dates, fees, background checks and who receives a commission. We can’t guarantee you’ll be commissioned, and state fees (exam, fingerprints/Live Scan, bond filing, etc.) are separate from our prices. Exam dates we show on our site come from CPS and can change. Always confirm with CPS.
5. Prices and payment
- Prices are in U.S. dollars and shown at checkout. Sales tax and shipping are added where required.
- Payment is processed by Stripe, PayPal, Affirm or Klarna. If you choose a pay-over-time option, your loan or payment plan is between you and that provider, under their terms.
- If a payment fails, is reversed or is disputed, we may pause access to the class until it’s resolved.
- Promotions and discounts can’t be combined unless we say so and may end at any time.
6. Pass the Test Guarantee
If you complete our Notary Class and do not pass the California notary exam after three attempts within two years of your class purchase, we will refund your class purchase price.
To request it, email [email protected] with:
- photos or scans of each CPS result letter,
- your username and the date you bought the class,
- a photo of your ID (used only to verify your identity and deleted after your refund is resolved), and
- how you paid (card, PayPal, Affirm or Klarna).
The guarantee covers the class purchase price only. It doesn’t cover state fees, supplies, bonds, insurance or add-on products. Because card refunds are sometimes blocked by banks after 30–90 days, we may send your refund by PayPal, Zelle, Venmo, Cash App or a similar service. We’ll contact you to arrange it.
7. Lifetime Renewal Pass
The Lifetime Renewal Pass gives you access to our California notary renewal class each time your commission comes up for renewal, for as long as you hold a California notary commission and we offer a state-approved renewal course. It is personal to you and can’t be transferred. If we ever stop offering renewal classes, we will tell you in advance by email.
8. Supplies, shipping and returns
- Custom stamps and kits: stamps are made with your name and commission number, so we make and ship them after you receive your commission from the Secretary of State. Please double-check the information you give us. Custom stamps can’t be returned unless they arrive damaged or we made a mistake, in which case we’ll replace them free.
- Other supplies (journals, forms): unused items in original condition can be returned within 30 days of delivery for a refund of the item price. Shipping costs aren’t refunded.
- Delivery times are estimates. Contact us within 14 days if something arrives damaged or missing.
9. Bonds, insurance and partners
Surety bonds and E&O insurance are sold and issued by our partner SwiftBonds (and its insurance carriers), not by us. Your purchase, coverage and any claims are between you and them, under their terms. We may receive a referral fee. Other third-party sites or tools we link to are governed by their own terms.
10. Our content
All course videos, guides, forms, quizzes, text and graphics are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright. You may view and download materials for your own personal study. You may not copy, record, share, resell, post or teach from our content without our written permission. We may end access for anyone who does.
11. Acceptable use
Don’t misuse the Services. That includes sharing accounts, trying to get around course tracking, scraping or downloading the course in bulk, uploading harmful code, harassing our staff or other students, or using the Services for anything illegal. We may suspend or close accounts that break these rules, without a refund.
12. No legal advice / results
Our classes are education, not legal advice. Notary laws change, and you’re responsible for following current California law when you notarize. Any examples of what notaries or loan signing agents earn are examples only, not a promise. Your results depend on your own work and the market. Reviews and testimonials reflect individual experiences.
13. Disclaimers and limits
Except for our guarantees above, the Services are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the extent the law allows, we disclaim implied warranties, including merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, and we don’t promise the site will always be available or error-free. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or lost profits, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us for the product the claim is about. Some states don’t allow some of these limits, so they may not all apply to you.
14. Disputes
If you have a problem, please contact us first at 844-EZ-NOTARY or [email protected]. Most issues are solved quickly. These Terms are governed by California law. Any dispute that we can’t resolve informally will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, or in small claims court if it qualifies.
15. Everything else
- We may update these Terms. We’ll change the date at the top, and the version in effect when you bought something applies to that purchase.
- If any part of these Terms can’t be enforced, the rest stays in effect.
- Not enforcing a right right away doesn’t mean we’ve given it up.
- These Terms and our Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us about the Services.

1. Who we are
This policy covers eznotaryclass.com and the courses, products and services we offer (together, the “Services”). The Services are run by EZNotaryClass.com Inc. (“EZ Notary Class,” “we,” “us”), 1112 Montana Ave., #326, Santa Monica, CA 90403. We are a California Secretary of State approved notary education vendor (#607272).

4. Who we share it with
We do not sell your personal information for money. We share it only as described here:

- Advertising and analytics partners such as Google (Google Analytics and Google Ads), Microsoft (Clarity), Meta and OpenAI. They help us measure our ads and show our ads to people who may be interested. Under California law this may count as “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising. You can opt out (Section 7).
- Affiliate partners, so we can credit the partner who referred you.
- Partners you choose to buy from. Surety bonds and E&O insurance are sold by our partner SwiftBonds on its own website under its own privacy policy.
- Legal and safety reasons: to follow a law, court order or government request, or to protect our rights, our students or the public.
- Business transfers: if we are involved in a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that deal and will stay protected by this policy.

7. Opting out / Global Privacy Control
To stop us from sharing your information for advertising, go to Your Privacy Choices and click Opt out. This turns off our advertising and analytics tags in that browser. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as an opt-out automatically. Because opt-outs are stored in your browser, repeat it on each browser or device you use, or email us and we will apply it to your account.
8. How long we keep data
- Account, course and completion records: while your account is open and for up to 7 years after, so we can prove completion and handle guarantee claims.
- Order and tax records: as long as tax law requires (usually 7 years).
- ID copies sent for refunds: deleted within 90 days after the refund is resolved.
- Chat transcripts and support emails: up to 3 years.
- Analytics and advertising data: kept by those partners under their own retention settings (for example, Google Analytics is set to 14 months).
9. Security
We use encrypted connections (HTTPS), trusted payment processors and limited staff access to protect your information. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong password and keep it private.
10. Emails and texts
We send emails about your class and orders. We may also send offers and tips; every marketing email has an unsubscribe link. If you agree to receive texts, message and data rates may apply, and you can reply STOP to stop or HELP for help. Agreeing to texts is never required to buy anything.
11. Children
You must be 18 or older to become a California notary, and our Services are meant for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you think a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.
12. Changes and contact
We may update this policy. We will change the date at the top, and for big changes we will let you know by email or a notice on the site.
