This document contains (1) Terms & Conditions and (2) a Privacy Policy for the Course and related services (collectively, the “Services”) provided by Clifton T. Smith II (“we,” “us,” “our”). By purchasing, accessing, or using the Services, you agree to these Terms.

TERMS & CONDITIONS

1) Eligibility

The Services are intended for adults (18+) unless otherwise stated. By using the Services, you represent that you are legally able to enter into this agreement.

2) Educational Purpose + Important Disclaimers

Educational content only. The Course provides education and training related to mindfulness, performance, leadership, and well-being skills. It is not medical advice, mental health treatment, psychotherapy, legal advice, or financial advice.

Not a substitute for professional care. If you have a medical or mental health condition—or think you may—please consult a qualified professional. If you are in crisis or may harm yourself or others, contact local emergency services immediately.

No guaranteed results. Outcomes vary by individual and depend on many factors (effort, application, context, etc.). We do not guarantee any specific result.

3) Accounts, Access, and “Lifetime Access”

You may need an account to access the Course and community. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep your login credentials secure.

Lifetime Access (While Hosted). “Lifetime access” means you will have access to the Course for as long as the Course is hosted and made available by us on our platform. Platforms and delivery methods can change over time.

Platform changes and discontinuation. If we migrate the Course to a new platform, we will make reasonable efforts to provide continued access on the successor platform or by another method. However, we cannot guarantee perpetual access in every circumstance (for example, if a platform provider shuts down unexpectedly, if laws change, or if events beyond our control occur).

Downtime. Services may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, upgrades, or third-party outages. We will make reasonable efforts to restore access.

4) License to Use + Intellectual Property

All Course content and materials are owned by Clifton T. Smith II or licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws.

Your license. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services for your personal, non-commercial use only.

No sharing / no resale. You may not:

  • share logins or allow others to access your account,

  • copy, reproduce, sell, resell, license, distribute, publish, or publicly display Course materials,

  • record, repost, or redistribute videos/audio/live sessions,

  • create derivative works from the Course materials, except for personal notes.

We reserve the right to disable access if we detect credential sharing or unauthorized distribution.

5) Community Guidelines

If the Course includes a community (forums, comments, groups, Q&A, etc.), you agree to participate respectfully and professionally.

You agree not to post or share:

  • harassment, hate, threats, or abusive content,

  • illegal content or instructions for wrongdoing,

  • private/confidential information (yours or others’) that you do not have the right to share,

  • spam, promotions, or solicitations without permission,

  • medical or mental health “diagnoses” of others.

Community is not therapy or crisis support. Do not use the community for emergency situations.

Moderation. We may moderate, remove content, or remove participants at our discretion to maintain a safe learning environment. If you are removed for violating these Terms, you may lose community access without refund (see Section 8).

6) Payments

You agree to pay the price displayed at checkout, including any applicable taxes. If you purchase via a payment plan (if offered), you authorize charges according to the schedule presented at checkout.

7) 14-Day Money-Back Guarantee

We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee from the date of purchase.

To request a refund within 14 days, email clif@clifsmith.com with:

  • the name and email used at checkout, and

  • “Refund Request” in the subject line.

Refund processing. Approved refunds are issued to the original payment method. Processing times vary by bank/payment provider.

Fair use / abuse. We reserve the right to deny refund requests we reasonably believe are abusive or fraudulent (for example, repeated refund behavior, chargeback threats, or confirmed theft/distribution of content). If we deny a refund due to abuse, we will provide a brief explanation.

8) Termination of Access

We may suspend or terminate your access if you:

  • violate these Terms,

  • share credentials or distribute materials,

  • harass others or disrupt the community,

  • engage in illegal or abusive conduct related to the Services.

If access is terminated due to a Terms violation, you are not entitled to a refund. You may stop using the Services at any time.

9) Updates, Changes, and Availability

We may update, modify, or discontinue parts of the Services at any time (lessons, downloads, templates, community format, delivery methods). We do not guarantee that any specific feature, module, bonus, or community component will remain available indefinitely unless explicitly stated at checkout.

10) Third-Party Links and Services

The Services may reference or link to third-party websites, tools, or services. We are not responsible for third-party content, policies, or availability.

11) Disclaimers of Warranties

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

12) Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US FOR THE COURSE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM (OR, IF LOWER, $250).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in that case, the limitation applies to the fullest extent permitted.

13) Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Clifton T. Smith II from any claims, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your misuse of the Services, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of another.

14) Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

Good-faith resolution first. Before filing a legal claim, you agree to contact us at clif@clifsmith.com and attempt to resolve the issue informally for at least 30 days.

If a dispute proceeds, you agree that any legal action will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Fairfax County, Virginia, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.

15) Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The updated Terms will be posted with a new effective date. Material changes will apply going forward.

  • Billing-related information needed to complete a purchase (processed by our payment processor; we do not store full payment card numbers)

  • Information you post in the community or send to us (comments, questions, messages)

B. Information collected automatically

  • Device and browser information, IP address, pages viewed, referring/exit pages

  • Usage data related to the Course (e.g., logins, lesson progress, community activity)

  • Cookies or similar technologies that support site functionality, analytics, and marketing

2) How We Use Your Information

We use information to:

  • Provide access to the Course, community, and customer support

  • Send course-related communications (account notices, updates, announcements)

  • Improve the Course and user experience (analytics, troubleshooting, performance)

  • Send marketing communications about new offerings or products you may be interested in (you can opt out anytime)

  • Protect the Services (fraud prevention, security, enforcing our Terms)

  • Comply with legal obligations

3) We Don’t Sell Your Data

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not sell or rent your email address or customer data to third parties.

4) When We Share Information

We only share personal information in limited circumstances, such as:

Service providers (processors). We use trusted third parties to run our business—such as website/course hosting (e.g., Kajabi), payment processors (e.g., Stripe/PayPal, depending on your checkout), email delivery, analytics, and customer support tools. These providers process information on our behalf and are expected to protect it and use it only to provide services to us.

Legal and safety. We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, court order, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect rights, safety, or to investigate fraud or security issues.

Business transfers. If we undergo a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, customer information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this Privacy Policy.

5) Email Preferences

You may receive:

  • Transactional/course emails (important account and course communications)

  • Marketing emails (new offerings, updates, promotions)

You can opt out of marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link in the email. Even if you opt out of marketing emails, you may still receive transactional/course communications.

6) Cookies and Analytics

We may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Keep you logged in and support site functionality

  • Understand traffic and usage (analytics)

  • Support marketing (e.g., measuring conversions)

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Note: disabling certain cookies may affect how the site functions.

7) Community and User-Generated Content

If you post in the community, your content may be visible to other members according to the community settings. Please avoid posting sensitive personal information in public or semi-public areas.

8) Data Retention

We retain personal information as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. We may retain limited information for recordkeeping (e.g., purchases) even after account closure, as required or permitted by law.

9) Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; therefore we cannot guarantee absolute security.

 

10) Children’s Privacy

The Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

11) Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted with a new effective date.
