REFUND POLICY  

Once downloaded, the product referenced herein is sold with no refund. In the alternative, once a Student/Buyer is logged in, there is no refund of monies paid. 
 

RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE BUYER 
 

The Buyer must pay the full consideration for this product that the Seller requires as the total price of the product. This consideration includes not only the purchase price, but other obligations that the Buyer accepts as well as potential rights the Buyer agrees to forego. By accepting this Purchase Agreement, the Buyer agrees to receive continuing follow-up contact from the Seller including email, mail, newsletters, product updates, product recall notices, product improvements, telephone calls from the Seller and/or telemarketing organizations and/or pollsters for the purpose of solicitation related to the instant product or any other product or service. Buyer agrees to post-sale contact from joint venture partners of the Seller or from others who have a commercial relationship with the Seller. Buyer agrees that all personal information about the buyer or his or her buying habits and preferences, including address and phone number, may be placed in a general database and agrees that this information may be shared, rented or sold to third parties. However, Buyer shall at all times be fully empowered to sever contact with the Seller by notification using the 'unsubscribe' link in solicitations. Moreover, the Buyer retains the right to refuse specific contact with some third party solicitors and maintain it with others. The Buyer retains the right to have his or her name removed from a general solicitation database. The Buyer's agreement to accept solicitation and contact may be reduced, enhanced, limited or terminated by notification to anyone contacting the Buyer. The burden is on the Buyer to prove that such communication was made to and received by the person making contact. Buyer agrees that Seller is not liable for communications made to the Buyer by parties unrelated to this purchase even though referred by the Seller. Buyer accepts full responsibility for limiting unsolicited contact and Buyer understands that he retains all rights to directly restrict communication or solicitation from any party including the Seller.

The Buyer agrees to allow the Seller to collect, store, and use for marketing purposes all information collected from, provided by or otherwise ascertained by electronic means from the Buyer. The Buyer, specifically, and as part of the consideration paid for this product, waives all right to access, retrieve, or control such information except that the Buyer retains the right to restrict contact as described previously.

The Buyer understands that cookies may be placed on his or her hard drive that will provide information to the Seller and which are necessary for delivering an e-product and which will be able to determine if you retain the right to access the product. Buyer understands that these cookies or other computer codes will reside on the hard drive and will communicate at times with the Seller's computer and thereby transmit and receive information. 

Buyers living in locations that require custom duties and/or VAT taxes to be collected understand that, unless custom duties are collected at the point of sale by the Seller, the Buyer remains responsible for payment of custom duties and taxes at the time the product is received. If it should happen that the Seller's courier or freight account is charged for custom duties and tax, instead of the Buyer paying referenced charges, then the Buyer hereby authorizes the Seller to bill the Buyer's credit card for said charges or for the return of goods if they are refused at the point of destination. 
 

CREDIT CARD CHARGES AND CREDIT CARD FRAUD PENALTIES  

Buyer warrants that he or she is over 18 years of age, not subject to the Child Online Privacy Act, of legal age to enter into contractual agreements in the state in which he is present when he makes this purchase, and is the true and authorized owner of the credit card used to make this purchase. Any Buyer who violates any of these requirements may be liable for civil or criminal prosecution and agrees to pay liquidated damages of an amount the equivalent of US$10,000 per fraudulent transaction, plus actual damages, and agrees that all information collected by this website may be used for prosecution and may be turned over to law enforcement agencies or to credit card companies and merchant service providers.

If the true and/or authorized owner of the credit card attempts to commit fraud upon the Seller, he authorizes each and every credit card company or merchant service provider to disclose to the Seller all information that could be construed as proof of credit card fraud.

Any Buyer who attempts to perpetrate a fraud upon Seller involving the use of a credit card herewith gives authorization for the Seller to access all credit information about the Buyer from credit reporting agencies and also authorizes the Seller to discover all relevant information from any source about the fraudulent practices of the Buyer and to reveal such information to credit reporting agencies, credit card companies, merchant service providers, and law enforcement agencies.

Buyer agrees that if he uses trickery to receive more than one refund, or if he causes a fraudulent dispute claim that results in a chargeback against the Seller's account, that the Seller is authorized to re-charge the Buyer's credit card that was used for the original purchase to the extent that will make the Seller whole. Buyer agrees to, in addition to actual damages, pay to the Seller liquidated damages of an amount equivalent to US$10,000 for every separate fraudulent action Buyer commits.

Buyer warrants an understanding that the Seller is disclaiming all liability from harm of any kind or nature caused directly or indirectly from this product. 

 

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND DISCLAIMER 

Buyer warrants an understanding, as required consideration, that the Seller of this product disclaims all liability for the product or damages resulting from use or installation or reliance upon this product for any reason. Buyer alone accepts full responsibility for allowing others to use this product. Buyer understands that Seller disclaims liability for any information contained in sales or promotional materials or the product itself that is unintentionally misleading or incorrect that might cause damage to Buyer. 
 

Buyer expressly waives any and all claims for consequential, speculative, and unforeseeable damages resulting from the purchase or use of this product or any contact with Seller or Third Parties. 
 

Buyer expressly agrees that no matter what may happen because of his or her purchase of this product, or no matter what damage may be allegedly or actually caused by the use of this product, or no matter the harm or damage that may result directly or indirectly from the purchase of this product, for any reason whatsoever, that the absolute maximum extent of Seller's liability shall be an amount no greater than the purchase price of the product, judgments, laws, regulations, and precedents to the contrary not withstanding and that payments thereof issued by Seller to Buyer at Buyer’s address or credit card of record shall automatically generate a fully binding General Release in favor of Seller without any signature or affirmation required.

SPECIFIC DISCLAIMERS AS TO 'RESULTS CLAIMS', 'INCOME CLAIMS', OR 'EARNINGS CLAIMS' IN SALES AND PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS OR PRODUCT 
 

If claims about results from using this product or if claims about income or earnings resulting from the use of this product are made, such claims are true for the persons who made the claims, including claims made by the Seller about its own experience with the product. 
 

However, Buyer cannot simply rely on these statements as being duplicable by Buyer because many factors affect results, including just dumb luck. Some people buy this product to make money and, in fact, make no money. Some people buy this product and never read it or attempt to implement any of the moneymaking ideas. Some folks seemingly take to it like a duck to water and can't stop making money. Nothing promoted on this website should be construed as a 'Get rich quick' scheme. The products Buyer is buying to learn how to make money or products that Buyer is buying to re-sell, have all been proven money-makers. The income and earnings statements, if any, tend to reflect the more successful cases and Buyer should not construe this as being the 'average' or usual success story. As is true in much of life, real success usually requires real work. Learning about the internet is not terrible work and it can produce very livable income if Buyer is willing to learn his or her craft and work at it steadily. Even part-time efforts may bring in some extra money each month. But it requires learning skills that Buyer may not have a background to easily learn and will certainly require constant education and, perhaps, even psychological motivation to keep Buyer directed toward his or her goals. 
 

If the product Buyer is purchasing is a physical product promoted for a particular purpose and if the promotional materials make claims about the results from the use of this product, Buyer hereby warrants his understanding that there exists some probability that the product will not deliver those same results to any particular Buyer. Buyer warrants his clear understanding that results from the use of the product can and do vary and one subject to many things including Buyer’s circumstances, commitment, and effort, and even subject to economic conditions generally, all of which are out of Seller’s control.

If the product Buyer is purchasing is a membership or a product ‘plan’ that claims to produce specific benefits or results or that otherwise involves a recurring fee, the Buyer has a right to terminate the membership or ‘plan’ upon notice to the Seller. In this case, the promotional materials describing the membership and the ‘plan’ and the remedy for dissatisfaction shall be controlling. If the promotional materials say that part of a fee is not refundable, then it is not. 
 

Where this disclaimer and claims made in sales and promotional materials or the product are in conflict, this Purchase Agreement shall be controlling except, and unless, the Seller deliberately and specifically misled Buyer. The sole burden is on the Buyer to substantiate any deliberate deception. Buyer accepts the obligation to reimburse the Seller for all court costs, investigation costs, attorney fees, and all litigation-related costs in the event Buyer brings suit or administrative claims against the Seller and does not prevail in court or at arbitration.
 

No warranties are made whatsoever about the amount of money, if any, that Buyer will earn from this material or product or service and Buyer warrants an understanding that Buyer's only course of action is to test this product and material for the extent of the refund period and request a refund if Buyer is not satisfied prior to its expiration. 
 

Buyer, again, warrants an understanding that in any event, for any reason, no matter the amount of damages claimed, as a material part of the consideration for purchase of this product, the maximum amount of liability shall be the purchase price of the product.

LEGAL COMPLIANCE/APPLICABLE LAW  

Seller hereby notifies Buyer and Buyer accepts that Seller is not and cannot ever be responsible for knowledge of or compliance with all of the potentially applicable codes, regulations, statutes, and case law variation in each and every jurisdiction around the world. It is therefore Buyer’s sole and exclusive responsibility to know, understand, and comply with his own local jurisdiction statutes, rules, and regulations with respect to purchasing and/or using Seller’s products and services.

Viewer, visitor, member, subscriber or customer agrees that the applicable law to be applied shall, in all cases, be exclusively that of the nation state wherein the Seller is domiciled, any and all conflict of law theories, statutes, precedents, or court rules to the contrary notwithstanding. 

NOTICE 

Buyer herewith agrees to receive Notice of Changes, Litigation, Service of Process, Cancellation, Termination, and Modification of service or product at the email address provided to Seller on the ordering page. Further, Buyer agrees that the right to contact Buyer concerning legal notice shall not be terminated by previously submitted 'unsubscribed' notices and specifically agrees that any notification to cease contact shall not be binding upon the Seller in regards to Notice of Change, Litigation, Service of Process, Cancellation of Product or Service or Membership or Subscription, Termination of a program, product or website, or Modification of the terms of service or product. Additionally, the Buyer grants Seller irrevocable right to contact him or her via mail or telephone concerning any of these issues irrespective of other rights the Buyer has to sever contact with Seller.

This written agreement alone represents the sole and exclusive agreement between the parties. This Purchase Agreement cannot be modified in any manner by the Buyer unless modifications are made in writing signed by both parties.

WAIVER OF BREACH  

The Seller's waiver (failure to enforce) any term of this agreement shall not be construed as a modification or an amendment to this agreement or constitute a waiver of that or other breaches.
