By enrolling through our online enrollment process in a Client Package, Group Coaching, Digital Product, or Online Program, and your acknowledgment of the terms herein, you knowingly and willingly agree to the following terms.

PAYMENT DUE

Payment for services/products is due immediately upon enrollment. In the event of default, the Client has ten (10) days to rectify the situation. A late fee of eight percent (8%) will apply. Returned checks or declined credit card charges will incur a fee of fifty dollars ($50.00).

Any dates and locations listed are subject to change without notice and such changes will not affect the terms of this Cancellation Agreement.

CANCELLATIONS & REFUND OPTIONS

All cancellations must be submitted to STL in writing via a written letter or email. While voicemail will not be an accepted method of cancellation, the Client may call and speak to a representative for a consultation. Cancellation will be considered official from the date written confirmation is received by STL.

Our cancellation agreement is as follows unless stated otherwise: 0-5 days from the date of enrollment: Full refund available (minus merchant fees) for all unused sessions or minutes; 6 or more days after purchase: No refund available.

Concerning individual client sessions (‘Session’) times, if the Client needs to cancel: 24 hours or greater from the time of the appointment: The session can be rescheduled for a later date. Less than 24 hours from the appointment: No refund available under any circumstances. The session is counted as Void.

CLIENT PACKAGES AND SESSIONS

Client Packages containing individual Sessions are offered as one (1) individual virtual or live interaction per one (1) Session, for the length of time defined in the sales presentation material. Sessions are deemed completed once the agreed session time has commenced, unless otherwise stated by STL.

Once a session has been completed, there is no possibility of a refund as the Practitioner has spent considerable time, effort, and energy. If you have questions or concerns, please call or email our team.

Sessions have a finite length of time, as listed during the enrollment process; however, as deemed necessary, STL may increase the time spent on behalf of the client. The Client also acknowledges that if the agreed-upon situation is resolved sooner than the finite length for that particular Session, the Session is considered complete once both parties agree the agreed situation was resolved successfully.

CLIENT PACKAGE EXPIRATION PERIOD

Sessions purchased through STL are activated and available once payment has been made to cover the cost of the Session. Partial payments only grant the available and use of Sessions equal in value to the payment received. The use of this service is made active and available for what is deemed by STL as adequate and timely, and within a reasonable time for STL to operate efficiently for all customers. Client Packages have specific expiration periods. Extensions are at the sole discretion of STL with no guarantee of extension beyond expiration.

Single Session: 120 calendar days

Client Packages of 4 Sessions: 120 calendar days

12-Week Client Packages: 180 calendar days

6-Month Client Packages: 270 calendar days

Monthly Subscriptions: Expire one month from the last payment

While STL has the ability to extend the program beyond the expiration date, as it deems appropriate for standard business operations, the decision to extend one or more sessions is at the sole discretion of STL and does not imply or guarantee that any additional sessions will be extended.

Any use of the material is at the sole discretion of Personal Use only; not for commercial use.

Unless specifically expressed, online viewing program purchases include a single, original person, unlimited viewing access, for the duration in which the company keeps that program accessible within their catalog of offerings.

REVOKING ACCESS

If you are paying a monthly subscription or monthly payments, upon a failure to make your payment or the decision to end the membership, your access to the material will be revoked. 

Failure to complete payment will move to revoke your access within 5 days of the payment being late, unless otherwise decided by STL. Once payments have been received, access to continue with the agreed program may be granted at the sole discretion of STL. 

If you are canceling the memberships in good standings, your access will be removed one calendar month from the final received payment. All cancellations must be submitted to STLI in writing via a written letter or email. While voicemail will not be an accepted method of cancellation, the Client may call and speak to a representative for a consultation. Cancellation will be considered official from the date written confirmation is received by STLI.

MISAPPROPRIATE USE OR ACTIONS

If you are found in violation of a group’s guidelines, rules, or have been identified as creating a disturbance to the collective experience, STL has the unequivocal ability to revoke your access, cancel any future payments without the obligation to refund any money for previously paid programs, products, services. In the event you are found in violations, STL will do what is within their ability to notify you of the decision and actions taken. Any desire to object and request a reconsideration can be made in writing or through email alone.

CONTENT STREAMNG

Programs declared as monthly, month-to-month agreements with recurring monthly payments grant access for one (1) calendar month of viewing, directly associated with the upcoming month from which the payment was received. Purchase is for viewing access only and granted access information and material only after payment has been successfully collected.

Upon a failure to successfully complete payment or upon cancellation of the monthly access, the Client’s login credentials will be locked, and access to the material with the Institute will no longer be available, except for any Product purchased directly through its dedicated sales page.

PROGRAM PAUSING / FREEZING REQUESTS 

Any request to pause a Client Package or Online Program, termed here as a ‘Freeze,’ must be submitted to STL in writing via a written letter or email. A freeze request is only considered valid upon receipt and written agreement to the Client from STL. STL has no obligation to accept and agree to such a request unless previously documented by STL in the purchase of that specific offering.

ONGOING SUPPORT

When explicitly included in writing by STL through the sales page, website information, digital and hardcopy advertisements, or direct written communication, STL will provide direct access support as a valued benefit and bonus to the Client. Direct access support is defined as the ability for the Client to contact a Practitioner at STL for a quick question or request via an online digital message platform, as a compliment to the Client.

If included, the Client will have access to STL for the duration of the package, while the package is in good standing, active, and in use. Access will be provided through various online messaging apps. All attempts will be made within reason by STL and the Client to maintain communication on a secure platform. However, STL acknowledges that the Client is personally responsible for their continued choice of platform if different from what is suggested.

Unless otherwise stated in writing by STL, the Client will have access to contact STL with an inquiry or request for assistance in direct alignment with the specific Program for a maximum accumulation of forty-five (45) minutes per week. A week is defined as the number of weeks within the specific Program. The time allotment is within a week and is not subject to roll-over, extension, or accumulation of any sort. When a package falls out of good standing, via failure to make a payment, being put on Freeze, or other such pause, bonus time is equally excluded until the package is back in good and active standing.

STLI has the ability at its sole discretion to increase the number of minutes its Practitioners will offer this level of support. Any decision to increase access and responses in a particular allotment of time is isolated to that decision alone and does not imply an overall increase.

EXPLORATION CALLS / CONVERSATIONS 

Complimentary or minimum deposit conversations, offered at the sole discretion of STL, are designed for introduction and client interview purposes.

In cases where the client is specifically asked to pay a refundable deposit, based on specifically defined terms, if the client joins the program, the deposit will be applied to a Program purchase. If the client decides not to join the program, the deposit will be returned to the client within 10 business days of the decision by either party.

If the Exploration Call is canceled: 48 hours or greater from the time of your appointment: The fee is refundable. Within 48 hours from your appointment or in the event of a no-show at the appointed time: No refund is available under any circumstances. Any desire to book another appointment must involve a re-submitted application and a new deposit for a future appointment.
