- MEMBERSHIP TERM, RENEWAL, AND CANCELLATION
MEMBERSHIP TERM: This membership is provided on an ongoing monthly basis beginning on the date of purchase ("Membership Term").
PAYMENT AUTHORIZATION: Client authorizes Company to charge the payment method provided at checkout for the monthly membership fee on a recurring basis until Client cancels the membership in accordance with the Cancellation Procedure set forth herein.
MONTHLY PAYMENT OPTION: If Client selects the monthly payment option, the current monthly membership fee is $77 USD per month and will be charged on the same day each month as the initial purchase date.
ANNUAL PAYMENT OPTION: If Client selects the annual membership payment option, the membership fee is $684 USD charged annually on the anniversary of the initial purchase date. The annual membership term is for twelve (12) consecutive months from the date of purchase.
CANCELLATION FOR MONTHLY MEMBERSHIPS: If Client selects the monthly payment option, Client may cancel this membership at any time by providing written notice to Company at [email protected]. Cancellation will be effective at the end of the then-current billing cycle for which payment has been made. Client will continue to have access to membership services through the end of the paid period. No refunds will be provided for partial months. To cancel, Client must provide written notice at least 5 business days before the next scheduled payment date. If proper notice is given, Client will not be charged for the following month. If notice is given with less than 5 business days before the next payment date, the cancellation will be effective at the end of the subsequent billing cycle.
CANCELLATION FOR ANNUAL MEMBERSHIPS: If Client selects the annual payment option, Client may cancel at any time by providing written notice to Company at [email protected], but no refunds will be provided for the unused portion of the annual term.

The membership will not automatically renew at the end of the annual term unless Client affirmatively opts in to renewal.
COLLECTION RIGHTS: Company reserves the right to pursue collection of any unpaid amounts owed under this Agreement through lawful means, including but not limited to engaging third-party collection agencies.

SUSPENSION FOR NON-PAYMENT: If Client fails to make any payment when due, Company will provide written notice to Client at the email address on file. If payment is not received within 7 days of such notice, Company may suspend Client's access to the membership until payment is received, without relieving Client of the obligation to pay all amounts due.
NO REFUND POLICY FOR MONTHLY MEMBERSHIPS: Due to the digital and educational nature of this membership, no refunds are offered for monthly membership payments for any reason, including dissatisfaction with the membership content or services. However, if Company materially fails to provide the Membership Services as described on the checkout page at the time of Client's enrollment, Client may request a refund for the current month's payment by providing written notice to Company within 15 days of discovering such failure.
NO REFUND POLICY FOR ANNUAL MEMBERSHIPS: Annual membership payments are non-refundable. Due to the discounted nature of the annual payment option and the immediate access to twelve months of membership services, no refunds will be provided for any unused portion of the annual term, except where Company has materially and continuously failed to provide the Membership Services for a period of 30 consecutive days or more, in which case Client may be entitled to a pro-rated refund for the unused portion of the annual term.
