  • "Donations": voluntary monetary contributions made through the Site to support scholarships, community programming, and partner grants.

3. Eligibility & Account Responsibility

You represent and warrant that you are at least 13 years old. If you are under 18, you must have parental or guardian permission to use paid Services. Certain Services may require a minimum age of 18; such requirements will be stated on the relevant product page.

If you create an account, you agree to (a) provide accurate, current and complete information, (b) maintain and promptly update your account information, and (c) keep your password and account credentials secure. You are fully responsible for all activities occurring under your account, whether or not authorized by you. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use. We are not responsible for losses arising from unauthorized use if you fail to safeguard your credentials.

4. Services, Course Access & Delivery

We provide digital courses, consults, downloads, community forums and other programs. Courses are typically delivered via Tutor LMS and include multimedia hosted by third parties (e.g., Vimeo). Course pages will describe the scope, price, access duration and any special terms (drip schedules, cohort dates, certificate conditions).

By purchasing a Course you receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access the Course content for your personal, non-commercial use only. You may not distribute, resell, relicense, or make available Course content to third parties unless expressly authorized in writing.

Depending on the Course, access may be lifetime, time-limited, or subscription-based. Access expiration, transferability, and device limits will be shown prior to purchase and in your order confirmation.

5. Consult Services & Deliverables

Consults are educational, coaching, and referral-oriented sessions (e.g., Research-Informed Coaching, Clinical Referral Consult, Group Strategy sessions). Consults may require pre-session intake forms and may include educational resources afterward. Consults do not constitute medical diagnosis or treatment, unless explicitly provided by a licensed clinician under a separate agreement. We may record sessions only with explicit consent.

Scheduling: Consult bookings are made via our scheduling system (e.g., Calendly) or account dashboard, and confirmed via email. You must provide accurate contact information. Invoices and payment confirmations will be sent to the email associated with your account or purchase.

6. Donations, Scholarships & Giving

Donations made through the Site support scholarships, free course seats, community workshops, and grantmaking to partner organizations. Donation receipts are provided according to whether we are a registered tax-exempt organization (see your receipt for tax language). Designated donations to third-party partners will be forwarded with confirmation. We publish an annual giving report describing fund allocation and program impact. Donor information is processed per our Privacy Policy.

7. Payment, Billing & Refund Policy

We use third-party payment processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal). By making a purchase you authorize the processor to charge the payment method you provide. We do not store raw payment card data. Prices are posted on product pages and are subject to change. Promotional offers and discounts are governed by their terms.

Refunds: Refund policies vary by product and are displayed at the point of purchase. Unless otherwise specified, digital product sales are final once access has been granted. For subscriptions, cancelation stops future recurring charges but does not necessarily entitle you to a prorated refund unless specified. To request a refund, contact [Contact Email] with your order details.

Chargebacks: If you initiate a chargeback, we will respond to the processor and may suspend your account pending resolution. Unwarranted chargebacks may be referred to collections and subject you to additional fees.

All Site content, including course materials, text, images, graphics, audio, and code, is owned or licensed by [Site Name] and protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws.

The Site integrates with third-party services including Vimeo (video hosting), Tutor LMS (course system), Stripe/PayPal (payments), Zoom (live sessions), Calendly (scheduling), Google services (Analytics, reCAPTCHA), and social networks.
