Terms and Conditions

By using our Online Driver Improvement subscription service, you agree to the following Terms and Conditions

The following terms and conditions (“AGREEMENT”) are established between a 247drive customer (“STUDENT”) and 247drive (“COMPANY”).  STUDENT acknowledges and agrees to abide by the terms and conditions set forth here.  This AGREEMENT constitutes the entire contract between COMPANY and STUDENT.  No verbal assurances or promises not specifically enumerated within this AGREEMENT shall bind COMPANY or STUDENT.

Course Eligibility:

  • The age restriction for the Virginia Online Driver Improvement Course has been eliminated—all drivers regardless of age may attend a Virginia Online Driver Improvement Course.
  • Any customer holding a commercial driver’s license in Virginia or any other state is ineligible to attend a Virginia Online Driver Improvement Course.  This computer-based driver improvement clinic will not satisfy a driver improvement clinic requirement.  The customer must satisfactorily complete a clinic that provides classroom instruction.
  • A Virginia driver improvement course (either online or in-classroom) does NOT fulfill the requirement for the 3 Exam Failures.

Driver’s license applicants who fail the knowledge exam or road skills test three times must successfully complete the applicable knowledge or in-vehicle component of a driver education course before they can take the examination a fourth time.  Classes taken at a driver improvement clinic do not meet this requirement.

  • STUDENT’s access is subscription-based (10 days, 20 days, or 30 days).
  • STUDENT may purchase additional subscription access.  A subsequent purchase while a current subscription is active will result in the extended purchase being added to the remaining days in the current subscription.
  • STUDENT must complete the online course and take and successfully pass the final exam within subscription period.
  • Access will be revoked immediately following expiration of STUDENT’s course subscription regardless of STUDENT progress.
  • Course and final exam access may be extended (based on STUDENT’s selection of subscription period) with purchase of additional subscription after subscription access has been revoked.
    • Course access has a definitive start date/time (time of purchase) and end date/time (determined by access length of purchase).  Course and/or final exam access will NOT be extended or shifted to a different access period with a different access start/time and end date/time if STUDENT has not accessed any portion of the course.
  • If STUDENT’s purchase of the course subscription is disputed (dispute initiated through a bank), STUDENT’s access to the course materials and final exam will be revoked immediately pending the outcome of the dispute regardless of STUDENT progress.
    • STUDENT acknowledges and agrees that STUDENT’s access may be re-instated (at COMPANY’S discretion) after the dispute is resolved if any access time in the subscription remains prior to access expiration.
