Questions
Is this legal advice?
No. The lessons help you read an agreement and ask questions. They do not explain the legal effect of any term. Ask a lawyer about that.
Does the course say what a fair price is?
No. This directory has no price data, and the course gives no prices. It shows you how to compare written terms and total cost.
Does passing the exam mean that a marina storm plan is good?
No. The certificate of completion records that you passed this site's exam. It does not approve a marina or a plan. You review each plan yourself.
