By providing the Company with your preferred payment method, you represent that you: (i) are authorized to use, and (ii) authorize the Company to charge that payment method (the "Authorized Payment Method") for all fees related to your purchase of the Products (collectively, the "Fees"). Unless otherwise indicated, all Fees are stated and charged in U.S. dollars (USD).

Taxes. You are responsible for all applicable taxes, duties, and governmental charges associated with your purchase, unless the Company is legally required to collect such amounts. If the Company is required to collect sales tax or other transaction taxes, the applicable tax will be added to your order total at checkout.

One-Time Purchases. For Products sold on a one-time purchase basis, the full purchase price is due at the time of checkout unless a payment plan option is offered and selected.

Promotions and Discounts. We may occasionally offer promotions, discounts, limited-time offers, or bonuses ("Promotions"). Promotions are available at the Company's discretion and are not guaranteed to be available at the time of your purchase. The Company reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate any Promotion at any time. Unless otherwise stated, Promotions cannot be applied retroactively to prior purchases and cannot be combined with other offers.

Pricing and Availability. We strive to present accurate Product descriptions, images, and pricing on the Website, but errors may occur. The Company reserves the right to correct any errors in Product listings, pricing, descriptions, specifications, or availability at any time without prior notice. If a Product you purchased was listed at an incorrect price due to a typographical or system error, the Company will notify you and provide the option to confirm your order at the correct price or cancel for a full refund.

Product and Service Discontinuation. The Company reserves the right to modify, suspend, or permanently discontinue any Product or Service, in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason, in its sole discretion. If the Company discontinues a Product or Service:

• Products Already Delivered. If a digital Product has been fully delivered to you (e.g., a template, ebook, or digital download that you have already accessed or downloaded), no refund, credit, or compensation will be issued.

• Live Events Not Yet Held. If the Company cancels a live event and does not reschedule it, the terms in Section 7 (Cancellation and Rescheduling by the Company) apply.

The Company shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of any Product or Service.

• Pursue recovery of the original purchase amount plus any fees or costs incurred by the Company as a result, to the extent permitted by law.

9. License Grant and Intellectual Property

By purchasing Products, you are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Products for your personal or internal business use only (the "License"), subject to the terms below. The Company owns and retains all rights, titles, and interests in and to the Products, including all copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and other intellectual property rights. Nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual property ownership to you. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by the Company.

Digital Downloads. You may modify, copy, edit, print, and adapt the Product for use for yourself and/or your business, provided you adhere to all applicable laws and these Terms. You may not reproduce, give away, publish, sell, license, or distribute the Product (or any modified version) to any third party. Permission to modify does not grant ownership of the underlying intellectual property. If multiple team members need access, you must purchase an additional License for each.

Prerecorded Content. Your License grants you access to view and use course materials for your personal or internal business learning purposes only. You may print or save instructional materials for personal reference, provided all original formatting, copyright notices, and branding remain intact. You may not share, copy, reproduce, record, publish, sell, or distribute course content in any form. Additional team members require additional Licenses.

Course Access Duration. Your access to online course content will remain active for as long as the Company continues to offer the course on its platform. The Company reserves the right to update, modify, or discontinue course content at any time. If the Company discontinues access to a purchased course, you will receive at least 30 days' notice. See Section 4 (Product and Service Discontinuation) for applicable remedies.

Live Events. Your License grants you the right to attend and participate in the live event for which you registered. You may take personal notes in accordance with the Recording and Transcription Prohibition in Section 7. If the Company provides recordings or supplemental materials following the event, the license terms for Online Courses and Prerecorded Content apply to those materials.

General License Restrictions. Regardless of Product type, you may not:

• Resell, sublicense, distribute, or make available the Products (or any portion) to any third party.

• Share your account credentials or allow any other person to access the Products through your account.

• Use the Products to develop, create, sell, distribute, or offer any product, service, or content that is substantially similar to or competitive with the Products or the Company's business offerings. This includes using the Products as a foundation, framework, or reference to build competing templates, courses, programs, tools, or digital products.

• Remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or proprietary notices on the Products.

• Grant master resell rights, private label rights, or any other rights enabling third parties to resell or distribute the Products.

• Make the Products available through any file-sharing, peer-to-peer network, or similar service.

• Use the Products to create derivative products for sale or distribution.

Enforcement and Remedies. If the Company reasonably believes you have violated any License restriction above, the Company may immediately revoke your License and terminate your access to the Products without refund. If you distribute the Products to unauthorized third parties, you agree to pay the Company the then-current retail price of the Product for each instance of unauthorized distribution, as liquidated damages representing a reasonable estimate of the Company's loss. The Company also reserves the right to pursue all other available legal remedies, including claims for actual damages and injunctive relief.

Confidentiality of Product Content. By accessing the Products, you agree to treat the following as confidential and proprietary information of the Company: strategies, frameworks, methodologies, proprietary processes, business models, formulas, systems, and other non-public information contained within or disclosed through the Products (collectively, "Confidential Information"). You shall not disclose, share, distribute, or use Confidential Information for any purpose other than the permitted use of the Products under this License.

This duty of confidentiality survives the termination or expiration of your access to the Products. This provision does not restrict your use of general knowledge, skills, or principles that are commonly known in your industry or that you independently developed without reliance on the Products.
