We will only ever use your primary payment method for timely payments. However, you hereby authorize us to use any payment method on file, whether or not explicitly designated for payment of Program payments, to collect late balances, late fees, or chargeback-related fees.
You agree that you are responsible for full payment of all amounts due under this Agreement, whether or not you actually use the Program or the Services.
Because of the time-intensive nature and limited availability of this offer, we do not offer refunds of any kind, for any reason, for the VIP Experience Upgrade.
You may request an unconditional refund of the full amount you paid for the Program (not including the VIP Experience Upgrade) if you notify us by email at support [at] thoughtleadersinstitute.com of your intent to request a refund by 6:00pm US Pacific Time, on the date specified on the order form you used to purchase this Program, which is ten (10) days after the official start date of your cohort. To be clear: Any unconditional refund requests for this guarantee received after that date and time will NOT be honored for any reason.
Additionally, if you make all payments on time and in full, attend all live coaching calls, watch every training in full, complete all worksheets, and have completed your launch as taught in the Program, but have not enrolled at least one (1) paid client in your program by four days following the last live coaching call of the Program, you may request and submit a conditional refund request form and, upon approval and at our sole discretion, receive a refund of the full amount you paid to date for the Program (not including the VIP Experience Upgrade), plus $250. The final decision as to whether you have successfully satisfied these terms and are entitled to a refund is ours and ours alone. We may request proof to substantiate your refund claim and all conditional guarantee claims must be submitted by 6:00pm US Pacific Time on the date specified on the order form you used to purchase this Program, which is four (4) days after the official end date of your cohort. To be clear: Any refund claims for this conditional refund received after that date and time will NOT be honored for any reason.
TO FURTHER CLARIFY, OTHER THAN AS SPECIFIED IN THE PRECEDING TWO PARAGRAPHS, NO REFUNDS WILL BE ISSUED AND ALL PAYMENTS MUST BE MADE ON A TIMELY BASIS.
BY PURCHASING THIS PROGRAM, YOU REPRESENT THAT PAYMENT OF FEES AS REQUIRED BY THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT PLACE A SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL BURDEN ON YOU, YOUR BUSINESS OR YOUR FAMILY.
Excessive returns will not be accepted. Refunds will not be given to any one customer for one specific product more than once. You may place an unlimited number of orders for one specific product, but the money back guarantee is void after you have used it for that product.
Additionally, you are only eligible to receive one refund within any 30-day period and only on offers that explicitly state a guarantee or return/refund policy. Meaning, if you request and receive a refund on any transaction, you are not eligible for an additional refund for 30 days following that transaction.

Your initiating a chargeback will also result in you immediately losing access to everything you purchased regarding the disputed charge(s), unless and until such chargeback is settled in our favor, at which point access may be restored upon request and upon your payment to us of any chargeback related fees we incurred, with no credit for any lost time in the Program.
