This Program is intended and only suitable for individuals aged eighteen (18) and above.
The Company reserves the right to offer additional Program elements, from time to time, for any subgroup of participants. These additional Program elements are a bonus, not a part of the services included in the base version of the Program. The selection of the participants who may participate in any additional Program elements is at the sole discretion of the Company.
Payment

You agree to the following fees and payment schedule you selected at checkout for the Program:
A one-time payment of Five Thousand Dollars (USD $5,000.00), or
Twelve (12) monthly installment payments of Four Hundred Twenty-Five Dollars (USD $425.00).

If you selected the first installment payment option at checkout, you agree that recurring monthly payments of Four Hundred Twenty-Five Dollars (USD $425.00) will be automatically charged to your card on the same calendar day each month, totaling Five Thousand Dollars (USD $5,000.00). If, for example, you join on June 18th, your card will be charged again on July 18th, August 18th, and so on until the full 12 months is reached. (This payment plan has an added nominal rate because of the longevity payment transaction fees and additional customer service processing).

If paying by debit card or credit card, you give us permission to automatically charge your credit or debit card for all fees and charges due and payable to the Company, without any additional authorization, for which you will receive an electronic receipt. You also agree that the Company is authorized to share any payment information and instructions required to complete the payment transactions with its third-party payment service providers (e.g., credit card transaction processing, merchant settlement, and related services).

If payment is not received when due, the Company reserves the right to terminate your access to the Program and all Content, as defined below, immediately and permanently.
If you fail to make any payment in a timely manner or voluntarily withdraw from the Program at any time or for any reason, you will remain fully responsible for the full cost of the Program and all payments in any installment plan you have chosen. The Company reserves the right to charge a late fee on all balances more than thirty (30) days overdue. You agree to reimburse the Company for all collection and/or legal fees and expenses necessitated by lateness or default in payment.
Refunds

However, because of the extensive time, effort, preparation, and care that goes into creating and providing the Program the Company has a no refund policy. Unless otherwise provided by law, you acknowledge that the Company does not offer refunds for any portion of your payment for any of our Program and no refunds will be provided to you at any time.

By using and/or purchasing the Program, you understand and agree that all sales are final, and no refunds will be provided.
The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine how to discipline a participant who violates these TOU. Therefore, if a participant disagrees with how the Company disciplines another participant and requests a refund, the Company will deny such request.
Furthermore, if a participant violates these TOU, the Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to offer the participant another opportunity to abide by these TOU. If a participant disagrees with the Company offering another participant a second opportunity to follow these TOU, no grounds for a participant to receive a refund would be created, and any request for a refund on this basis shall be denied.

If, in the Company’s sole right and discretion, you persist with behaviors or actions that violate these TOU, the Company may terminate your access and participation in the Program without notice and without refund.

As mentioned above, the Company may offer additional Program elements for a subgroup of participants. The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to offer participation in these additional Program elements to specific participants. If a participant is denied participation in or removed from these additional Program elements, no grounds for a participant to receive a refund would be created and any request for a refund on this basis will be denied.

Since we have a clear and explicit refund policy in these TOU that you have agreed to prior to completing the purchase of the Program, we do not tolerate or accept any type of chargeback threat or actual chargeback from your credit card company or payment processor. If a chargeback is placed on a purchase or we receive a chargeback threat during or after your purchase, we reserve the right to report the incident to all three credit reporting agencies or to any other entity for inclusion in any chargeback database or for listing as a delinquent account, which could have a negative impact on your credit report score. The information reported will include your name, email address, order date, order amount, and billing address.
