Walmart Connect Canada Academy Ad Certification Program Terms & Conditions

Introduction.

As Canada’s number one omnichannel retailer, Walmart Canada Corp.’s (“Walmart”, “we” or “our”) mission through Walmart Connect Canada is to help partners, sellers and suppliers connect more meaningfully with Walmart customers. To help you learn how to drive meaningful results for suppliers and sellers while reaching their customers throughout their shopper journey, we created our Walmart Connect Canada Academy Ad Certification program (the “Program”). 

This comprehensive learning program is designed to educate partners, suppliers, and sellers about the Walmart Connect Canada platform and ad formats to help them achieve optimal results. It’s designed to empower advertisers and partners to become certified experts in our platform and products to help drive results for brands. 

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) are designed to help you understand the terms and conditions governing our Program.

By participating in the Program, you agree to be bound by these Terms and the decisions of Walmart, which are final and binding in all matters.

Confidentiality.

During the course of your participation in the Program, you may receive information relating to Walmart Connect Canada or to the Program that is not known to the general public ("Confidential Information"). You agree that: (a) all Confidential Information will remain Walmart’s exclusive property; (b) you will use Confidential Information only as is reasonably necessary for your participation in the Program; (c) you will not otherwise disclose Confidential Information to any other person; and (d) you will take all reasonable measures to protect the Confidential Information against any use or disclosure that is not expressly permitted under these Terms. For the avoidance of doubt, all testing materials are Confidential Information. You will not disclose, reproduce, copy, transmit, distribute, or make derivative works of any Confidential Information.

Certification.

To obtain a Walmart Connect Canada Academy Ad Certification (“Certification”), you must (a) take the applicable certification assessment(s) and receive a passing score as determined by Walmart Connect Canada, (b) complete any other requirements that may be implemented from time to time, and (c) adhere to all laws, rules, and regulations applicable to the Program, including these Terms (collectively, with (a), the “Certification Requirements”). Certification through this Program can only be issued to the actual individual who meets the Certification Requirements. Third parties, including but not limited to employers, representatives, associates, or agents, are not entitled to the privileges granted to you under these Terms.

Certification Badges.

Once Certification Assessment(s) are passed, individual participants will also receive a digital certification badge (“Badge”), valid for one year from date of issuance, to signify their successful completion of the assessment on a particular topic regarding Walmart Connect Canada, including, but not limited to: Walmart Connect Canada Retail Media, Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, and Sponsored Videos. Individual employees who earn Badges can post them to their personal LinkedIn accounts only. Individuals cannot post Badges to their employer’s owned & operated channels, including but not limited to, their company’s websites or social media (LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok) handles. Companies are prohibited from promoting, reposting, publishing, or sharing Badges earned by company employees on any owned & operated, earned or paid media channels without Walmart Connect Canada’s prior approval.

Walmart Connect Canada reserves the right to audit, disable, and revoke Badge usage and privileges if Badge credentials are misused, misrepresented, or mis-issued. Our Badges cannot be changed, altered, modified, attached, combined, or locked with any company logos (i.e., visually combine the two logos) or other individual credentials. 

Program Participation Termination.

You agree that if for any reason we believe that you have violated these Terms, we may in our sole discretion cancel the results of any Certification Assessment, revoke any Certification (and any Badge associated therewith), terminate your rights under these Terms, and/or otherwise prohibit you from participating in the Program or any other programs offered by Walmart.
