DISCLAIMER

The Company’s Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and Disclaimer are incorporated by reference into this Agreement. Except as modified by this Agreement, each of those agreements and policies shall apply fully to Your participation in the Program.

You understand that David Skinner and Karen Dunn Skinner (each a Consultant and together the Consultants), the Company, and any guests it may include in the Program are not Your employees, agents, lawyers, doctors, managers, therapists, public relations experts, business managers, financial analysts, psychotherapists, accountants, or other professional advisors. The Consultants are not acting in their capacity as lawyers and nothing they say constitutes legal advice or creates a solicitor-client (also known as “attorney-client”) relationship with You.

You understand that the Company and Consultants have not promised, shall not be obligated to and will not: (1) procure or attempt to procure employment or business or sales for You; (2) perform any business management functions, including but not limited to accounting, tax or investment consulting, or advice with regard thereto; (3) act as a therapist providing psychoanalysis, psychological counselling or behavioural therapy; (4) act as a public relations manager; (5) act as a publicist to procure any publicity, interviews, write-ups, features, television, print or digital media exposure for You; (6) introduce You to Consultant’s network of contacts, media partners or business partners. You understand that a relationship does not exist between You and the Company and/or either or both of the Consultants after the conclusion of this Program. If You wish to continue a relationship with the Company and/or either or both of the Consultants, You shall execute a separate agreement regarding that continuing relationship.

FEES

In consideration of Your access to the Program, You agree to pay the fees specified fees for each Program according to the payment plan You select. If You select a multiple payment plan, You must pay the initial monthly payment upon enrolment and then Your selected payment method will be automatically charged each additional payment when it becomes due. You will remain responsible for those additional payments unless You obtain a refund according to the Program’s Refund Policy set forth below. You may not cancel or avoid these payments except through the Refund Policy. In the event that any payment is not made, the Company shall immediately suspend Your access to the Program and reserves the right to pursue you for any payments that are due. All fees are quoted, due, and must be paid in United States Dollars.

METHODS OF PAYMENT

If You elect for an instalment payment plan, You hereby authorize the Company to charge Your credit card or debit card automatically according to the terms set forth in the Fees section above.

Regarding recurring payments and outstanding invoices: If all eligible payment methods We have on file for You are declined for payment of Your monthly fee, You must provide a new eligible payment method promptly or Your program access will be removed.

If You do not request a refund within the terms of the Refund Policy and provide the required coursework at the time of Your refund request, You are required by law to complete the remaining payments of Your payment plan and You understand that Your membership will automatically continue and You authorize Us (without notice to You, unless required by applicable law) to collect any and all outstanding receivables, using any eligible payment method We have on record for Your account.

REFUND POLICY

We want You to be satisfied with Your purchase, but We also want You to use Your best effort to apply all of the strategies in the Program. Where a money-back guarantee has been provided, it is governed by the following terms.

In order to qualify for a refund You must submit proof that You did the work in the course and it did not work for You. In the event that You decide Your purchase was not the right decision, contact our support team at [email protected] by 11:59 pm EST on the 14th day following your purchase (the Refund Deadline) and let Us know You’d like a refund.

To benefit from the money-back guarantee in the case of the Practice Accelerator Course or the Legal Process Improvement Professional Certificate Program, You must include Your coursework with Your request for a refund. If You request a refund and do not include Your coursework by the Refund Deadline, You will not be granted a refund.

The work that You need to submit with Your request for a refund includes ALL of the following items:

1. Complete and attach the Worksheet from Module 1, setting out at least five sentences telling Us specifics about Your goals and objectives for the Program.
2. Complete and attach the Worksheet from Module 2, identifying at least five clients and including at least 3 sentences for each of those clients, describing their respective wants and needs.
3. Complete and attach the Key Process List from Module 2, identifying processes you have or are missing in Your firm, and identify Your target process.
4. Complete and attach a process grid for Your target process.
5. Tell Us why this course was not a good fit for You and Your business needs, and what You expected that You did not get once inside the Program?

We will NOT provide refunds for any request that is received after the Refund Deadline. After that deadline, all payments are non-refundable and You are responsible for full payment of the fees for the Program regardless of whether You complete the Program.

Please note: If You opted for an instalment payment plan and You do not request a refund before expiry of the Refund Deadline, and include the required coursework at the time of Your refund request, You are required by law to complete the remaining payment under Your instalment payment plan.

If We determine that You are entitled to a refund pursuant to this policy, the Company will promptly issue an instruction to its payment processor to issue the refund. The Company does not control its payment processor and will not be able to expedite any refunds.

If You receive a refund of any purchase through this money-back guarantee, that shall immediately terminate any and all licenses granted You to use the material provided to You under this Agreement and the Company’s Terms of Use and relating to the Program for which the refund was issued. You shall immediately cease using the material and shall destroy all copies of the information provided to You, including without limitation: video recordings, audio recordings, transcripts, forms, template documents, slide shows, membership areas, social media groups limited to paying members, and other resources.

All refunds are discretionary as determined by the Company. To further clarify, We will not provide refunds for requests made after expiry of the Refund Deadline, and all Your payments must be made on a timely basis.

If payments are not made on time, You agree to pay interest on all past-due sums at a rate of 1.5% per month or the highest rate allowed by law, whichever is greater.

If You have any questions or problems, please let Us know by contacting [email protected].

MISCELLANEOUS

You agree to absolve and do hereby absolve the Company of any and all liability or loss that You or any person or entity associated with You may suffer or incur as a result of use of the Program and/or any information and resources contained in the Program.
