Scheduling and Communication

Group Calls. A schedule of our Program group calls will be shared with you during your enrollment in the Program or shortly thereafter, including the call-in-/login information to participate in the call. Please plan to come to the group calls on time.

NOTE: If you miss a group call, there will be no make-up dates for the call; rather, you may access the recording which will be shared with Program participants following the call.

Call Recordings. All Program calls will be recorded. Recorded group calls will be shared with the group participants within 48 hours following the call. By participating in the Program and speaking at any time during any call, you are consenting to the recording of your voice, image and/or name and likeness.

Investment and Payment

Investment: You agree that you are financially willing and able to invest in this Program by choice, and that by so doing, you are not incurring any economic hardship in any way.

If paying in full, your investment is $ 997 and must be made upon enrollment in the Program.

If paying in installments, payment of the first of 2 installments in the amount of $498.50 must be made upon enrollment in the Program, and 1 subsequent monthly payment in the amount of $498.50 will be due in 1 month increments from the date of the first payment.

Payment Authorization and Receipt: If paying by PayPal, debit card, or credit card, you give us permission to automatically charge your credit card or debit card as payment for your Program without any additional authorization, and you will receive an electronic receipt. If I choose to provide you with a Paypal invoice instead, you are required to manually pay it by the date due on the invoice or your Program will be put on hold until payment is made.

Please note that chargebacks are not permitted and you are agreeing that upon enrollment and by participating in this Program for any length of time, you will make payment in full.

Missed Payment: If payment is not received by the date due or there is a problem with the payment transaction or method, you will be notified by e-mail and then have a 3 day grace period to make the payment following the due date, otherwise your Program will be put on hold. If no payment is made within the 3 day grace period, your access to the Program will automatically terminate and you will no longer be granted access.

Refund Policy: It is my intention for you to be happy with your Program. However, because I have invested considerable time and effort in your Program, if you decide to withdraw at any time for any reason, you are still fully responsible for making all Program payments, and no refunds will be provided.

Confidentiality

Confidentiality Related to Group Calls. Confidentiality is important to me. At the same time because this is a group setting, you are aware that when you participate in a group call or interact with any group members by any means during the Program, including in the group forum, you are voluntarily sharing and disclosing information which may be seen, heard, collected and used by others, and therefore, I cannot be responsible for any unauthorized use of any or all of the information that you share with other group participants, whether during the calls, online, in private conversations, or in any other manner.

Disclaimer: I have used care in preparing the information provided to you, but this Program and my Program materials are being provided as self-help tools for your own use and for informational and educational purposes only.

Nothing related to this Program is intended to be considered medical, mental health, legal, financial, or religious advice in any way.

For specific questions related to a medical or mental health situation, consult your own medical or mental health professional.

You agree to hold me free of all liability and responsibility for any actions or results for adverse situations created as a direct or indirect result of specific information or recommendations that you receive through this Program.

Other Important Terms

Termination. If either of us want to terminate the Agreement at any time, we both agree to notify the other at least 3 days in advance by e-mail. Even after termination by either of us, all of the terms of this Agreement, including all of the Investment, Refund Policy, and Intellectual Property terms, will still apply to both of us now and in the future.

Notice: All correspondence or notice required regarding the Program shall be made to each of us at the respective e-mail addresses in the signature block below. Should your e-mail address, billing or contact information change at any time throughout the Program, it is your responsibility to provide your updated information to me within 3 days of any change.

Force Majeure. In the event that any cause beyond my reasonable control, including, without limitations, “acts of God”/nature, war, curtailment or interruption of transportation facilities, threats or acts of terrorism, State Department travel advisories, labor strikes or civil disturbances, unforeseen or foreseen human-initiated circumstances, health or travel restrictions, quarantines, lockdowns or precautions imposed by any government entity or agency, local, state or federal law or ordinance, or other instances, make it inadvisable, illegal, or impossible for me to perform my responsibilities or obligations under this Agreement, either because of unreasonable increased costs or the risk of injury, I will not be liable for a reasonable period of delay or for the inability to indefinitely fulfill my responsibilities and obligations.

Entire Agreement, Assignment, Survivability and Waiver. This Agreement contains our entire agreement. This Agreement may be modified or amended at any time so long as the amendment is in writing and signed by both of us. You may not assign your rights or obligations under this Agreement to anyone else, and the obligations under this Agreement shall survive indefinitely unless otherwise stated in this Agreement. If I choose to waive or not enforce one or more terms of this Agreement, it does not in any way limit my right to later enforce every part of this Agreement. If any section of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, all other sections shall be held in full force and effect.

Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed according to the laws of the County of Fairfield and in the State of Connecticut.

Dispute Resolution. Should we ever have any differences, it is hoped that we could work them out amicably through e-mail correspondence. However, if we are unable to reach resolution in 14 days, we agree now that that the only method of legal dispute resolution that will be used is binding arbitration before a single arbitrator, jointly selected by both of us, unless we both agree otherwise in writing.

You understand and agree now that the only remedy that can be awarded to you through arbitration is the full refund of your Payment made to date. No other actions or financial awards of consequential damages, or any other type of damages, may be granted to you. We both agree now that the decision of the arbitrator is final and binding and may be entered as a judgment into any court having the appropriate jurisdiction.

You also agree that should arbitration take place, it will be held in the County of Fairfield in the State of Connecticut where my principal place of business is located, and the prevailing party shall be entitled to all reasonable attorneys’ fees and all costs necessary to enforce the decision of the arbitrator.

Non-Disparagement. You agree to not publicly or privately make any negative or critical comments about the Program, my business or me, or to communicate with any other individual, company or entity in a way that disparages the Program or harms my reputation in any way, including on social media at any time. In arbitration or when required by law, of course, you are not prohibited from publicly sharing your thoughts and opinions.

By signing this Agreement, you acknowledge that you have read, understand, agree to and accept all of the terms in this Agreement. Electronic signatures of this Agreement are permitted and enforceable. You agree that you have had the opportunity to ask any questions prior to signing, and your signature indicates that you agree with all of the terms of this Agreement.
