(“Terms of Purchase”)
This Agreement sets forth the terms of purchase for any course or subscription program of Molly Knight Forde LLC dba Awareness School.
By placing your Order with Awareness School (the “Company”), by clicking “accept,” or by using the Services, you agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree with these terms, you should leave the Company website or the applicable purchase page and discontinue use of the Services immediately.
In these terms and conditions, “We/us/our/[d/b/a]” means Awareness School. “You/your” means you as a user of the Website and/or Customer of the Program/Services.
The Services. The Services are those provided in the Awareness School Courses or subscription programs as described on your checkout page or Order form, which includes instruction and teachings on awareness and meditation (the “Program”). The Program content will be delivered via online modules through the program website, and through live group calls or sessions, and/or as otherwise indicated on your Order form page. If your purchase includes an online Program, Membership or Membership site access, you will use a unique username and password that should only be used by you to access the Content. Sharing log-in information, call-in numbers, passwords, and protected links with non-members is prohibited and will result in removal from the program.
Payment. Payment commitment is required before beginning the Program, as indicated on your Order form, and may be a one-time fee, or a monthly or other recurring fees, as applicable. Please check the details of your Order form or Order page for the information specific to your program. You agree to pay the amount agreed and not to cancel this transaction with your bank or credit card company. The Company is not responsible for any overdraft charges, over-limit charges, or NSF fees charged by your bank or credit card company. Fees for Services may be pre-paid or by installment, as indicated on your Order form. Failure to make an installment payment will result in suspension or termination of the Membership. The Company does not guarantee any specific results from use of the Services. The Company does not make any representations or warranties as to specific outcomes or results.
Refund Policy. We are so confident that you will reap the rewards and benefits of this program if you put it into action that we offer the following refund policy: If for the first two modules of any course, you follow all of the steps and requirements of the Program, and document the actions taken to fulfill all Program requirements and are still not satisfied with the results of your Program, you may request a partial refund. Your completed course work will be required, and we may ask what didn’t work for you so that we can learn and improve our course for future students. The determination of whether your course work is complete, and therefore whether you are entitled to a refund is within the Company’s sole discretion. We have poured tremendous time and resources into creating this Program. Please only enroll in the Program if you are prepared to take action and follow the instruction provided in the Program. After the first two modules, refunds are no longer available. If a program includes a retreat, that retreat value is nonrefundable. There are no refunds for subscription or membership programs.
Confidentiality & Non-Disclosure Agreement. You are free to speak, write and share about your own experiences from the Program, but you agree to keep all information shared by others confidential, including all information shared by others inside of the Awareness School on-line community, which currently exists as a private online forum.
Communications. The Awareness School community is intended to be a supportive, respectful and positive community for all involved. Communicating disrespectfully to any other members of the group constitutes grounds for removal from the Program, which decision shall be in the sole discretion of the Company.
Term. This Agreement will be effective consistent with the term indicated on your Order form or Order page. Failure to pay for the Program or Services consistent with the program requirements will result in termination of the Program prior to the end of the applicable term, and your access to Program materials or ongoing Services will be discontinued. Additional fees may be accrued in the event you continue to access the Program website or continue to use the Services after any failure to pay for said services.
