7. REFUNDS, CANCELLATIONS, AND RETURNS.

 

7.1 Refunds

Please consult our refund policy at [TheJoyOfPursuit.com/refund] (“Refund Policy”) for information regarding any refunds that may be available for Premium Services. To be eligible for a refund, you must make a refund request through our customer service team simplify@thejoyofpursuit.com within the applicable time period set forth in the Refund Policy.

Other than in connection with our Refund Policy, all sales are final, and we do not offer any refunds or cancellations. If you select an installment payment plan, you will be obligated to complete all installment payments.

A failure to pay an installment payment related to any of the Premium Services may result in the immediate suspension of termination of all Services. Upon suspension or termination, you will no longer be able to access your account and/or any Services. To maintain access to your account and all corresponding Services, your account and payments must be current and in good standing for all programs and Services for which you have registered. Pursuant to our Refund Policy, if your account is suspended or terminated for a failure to pay, you will not receive any refund except at our sole discretion, and any scheduled automatic renewals will not occur.

In the event of an error that results in an incorrect charge, we reserve the right to correct such error(s) and revise your order accordingly if necessary (including charging the correct price) or to cancel the order and refund any erroneous amount charged. In addition, we may, in lieu of a refund as provided in this paragraph, opt to provide you with a service credit, with a value equal to the amount charged to your payment method.

You are responsible for any applicable sales or use tax, duties, or other governmental taxes or fees payable in connection with your purchase. If you do not pay such sales or other tax or fee on a transaction, you will be responsible for such taxes or fees in the event they are later determined to be payable on such sale, and the Company reserves the right to collect such taxes or other fees from you at any time.

7.2. Returns of Physical Product

Our 100% money back guarantee (the “Guarantee”) covers the price of the product only. The Guarantee does not cover any shipping and handling fees. Any refunds of physical products will therefore not include any shipping and handling fees.

Once a return is received or a valid refund request is submitted, the refund process will take no more than thirty (30) days. All refunds will be either returned to the original credit card OR mailed in check form to the billing name and address. International orders will be refunded back to the original credit card, and PayPal orders will be credited back to the PayPal account.

You have THIRTY (30) Days from the date of the original purchase to return the product to receive your refund. Any return received after the THIRTY (30) DAY time limit will not be processed.

To ensure your product is not lost or damaged, we strongly recommend sending the returned product via certified mail with a tracking number. We cannot issue a refund if we do not receive the product back, and the customer does not have proof that the product was returned.

8. AUTOMATIC RENEWAL TERMS.

Certain Premium Services are ongoing subscriptions (“Subscriptions”). By enrolling in a Subscription program, you agree that a Subscription fee will be billed at the price you agreed to when subscribing to the payment you provide for the then-current Subscription period on a recurring basis until you cancel. If you do not wish for your account to renew automatically, or if you want to change or cancel your Subscription, please email us at simplify@thejoyofpursuit.com You must cancel within thirty (30) days after your Subscription period begins to be eligible for a refund. If you cancel your Subscription within the specified 30 day period after your Subscription period begins, your Subscription will be terminated immediately, and you will no longer be able to access the Subscription Services.

 

8.1. Trial Memberships

Trial memberships will be billed at the then-current Subscription rates after the trial period ends. We will continue to bill your Payment Method on a monthly basis for your membership fee until you cancel. 

 

8.2. Monthly Subscriptions

Monthly Subscriptions will automatically renew each month at the stated price until the subscription buyer notifies the company that they wish to cancel.

 

8.3. Annual Subscriptions

Annual Subscriptions will automatically renew each year at the stated price until the subscription buyer notifies the company that they wish to cancel.

 

8.4. Lifetime

Upon payment in full for a program advertised as “Lifetime Access,” you will receive access to the program that you purchased for the duration of the time the Company operates the Site and your specific program, subject to these Terms. We reserve the right to discontinue programs and adjust the Site and programs at our sole discretion, so, where available, be sure to download any material you want to keep, since you’ll no longer have access to the membership area after access ends. For Subscription programs, you will only receive access to the Services during the term of your Subscription, subject to the requirement to be in “good standing” with all other programs set forth in Section 4.1 above.

If, for any reason, the stream is not capable of running online as planned, including infection by computer virus, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, fraud, technical failures, or any other causes beyond the control of the Company which threatens or corrupts or adversely affects the administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper conduct of a live stream offer, JOP reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel, terminate or suspend the offer and/or any subscription. ANY ATTEMPT BY YOU TO DELIBERATELY DAMAGE ANY WEB SITE OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF THIS OFFER MAY BE A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAWS AND SHOULD SUCH AN ATTEMPT BE MADE, JOP WILL DISQUALIFY YOUR ATTEMPTED REDEMPTION AND RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SEEK DAMAGES FROM YOU TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

 

10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW (A) IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COMPANY BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR LOSS OF DATA, WHETHER IN AN ACTION IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING AS A RESULT OF COMPANY’S NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THESE TERMS OR THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, AND (B) IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE COMPANY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING AS A RESULT OF COMPANY’S ALLEGED NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHER THEORY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES EXCEED ANY COMPENSATION YOU PAY, IF ANY, TO COMPANY FOR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SERVICES.

Individuals from all backgrounds are welcome here. We have tribe members of all skill and experience levels. We want people to feel safe when using our groups and forums. For that reason, we’ve developed a set of tribe guidelines, outlined below. These policies will help you understand what type of sharing is allowed in our private groups and communities, and what type of content may be reported to us and removed. Because of the diversity of our global tribe, please keep in mind that something that may be disagreeable or disturbing to you may not violate our community guidelines.

You agree not to post, upload to, transmit, distribute, store, create, or otherwise publish or send through the Services any User Content that

  • is unlawful, libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, harassing, threatening, abusive, inflammatory, fraudulent, or otherwise objectionable;

  • makes false or misleading statements, claims, or depictions about a person, company, product, or service;

  • does not clearly and prominently disclose any material connections you may have to JOP or a third-party brand or seller (for example, if you receive free products or services or are a paid blogger or employee of JOP or such third-party brand or seller);

  • may infringe any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or other intellectual or proprietary right of any party;

Enforcement of the Terms is solely in our discretion and the absence of enforcement of these Terms in some instances does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce the Terms in other instances. In addition, these Terms do not create any private right of action on the part of any third party or any reasonable expectation or promise that the Services will not contain any content that is prohibited by these Terms.

Although JOP has no obligation to screen, edit, or monitor any of the User Content posted on the Services, JOP reserves the right, and has absolute discretion, to remove, screen, or edit any User Content posted or stored on the Services at any time and for any reason without notice, and you are solely responsible for creating backup copies and replacing any User Content you post or store on the Services at your sole cost and expense.

Separate and apart from User Content, you may submit questions, comments, suggestions, ideas, plans, notes, drawings, original or creative materials, or other information about the Services or JOP (“Feedback”). Feedback is non-confidential and shall become the sole property of JOP. Company shall own, and you hereby assign to Company, all right, title, and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to such Feedback, and JOP shall be entitled to the unrestricted use and dissemination of any Feedback for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, without acknowledgment or compensation to you. You agree to execute any documentation required by JOP (in our sole discretion) to confirm such assignment to, and unrestricted use and dissemination by, JOP of any Feedback.

 

12. USER CONDUCT.

By using the Services, you agree to abide by the following JOP community ideals:

  • Individuals from all backgrounds are welcome. We have members of all skill and experience levels.

  • Keep it respectful. Comments that are inappropriately negative, rude, or attacking will be deleted, removed, or we will ask you to revise your thoughts. Everyone is here to learn and grow, so anything violating that will be removed.

  • No pitching to the group. We have a strict “no shopping for customers” policy in our groups. This includes pointing people to blog posts with your offers/affiliate offers and publicly asking members to join your own Facebook groups or communities. Be cautious of unsolicited private messages to group members. If we get multiple complaints that you or someone else is using private messages to make unsolicited pitches to members, you may be removed. You should view the group as your peers, not your leads.

  • No Links. Links to outside information or to restricted data will be removed.

  • No gated content. Content posted in the groups cannot be used to harvest leads in any way. If you need feedback or a review, post the direct PDF, document, or screenshot. Don’t require people to opt-in to view.

  • Respect confidentiality. Content gathered in our online community groups cannot be collected, repackaged, and/or shared outside the group. Every member of our communities has a right to privacy and the right to feel safe that their questions, answers, and experiences remain privy to group members only.

  • Keep it on topic. We reserve the right to remove posts based on off-topic content or offensive content.

  • Partnering with other members. Access to this group does not mean that JOP endorses anyone’s products or services. Please be cautious and do your due diligence when partnering with anyone in the group. Don’t assume everyone is trustworthy.

  • Report posts that are breaking group policies. Due to the large number of people in our groups and communities, it’s sometimes difficult for us to catch everything. If you see a post that is questionable, please report it, tag our tribe manager(s) in the comments, or reach out to our tribe manager directly via private message so our team can review them.

You agree that you will not use the Services in violation of any law, contract, or intellectual property or other third party right. You further agree not to

  • use the Services in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the Services;

  • send unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, solicitations, promotional materials, spam, junk mail, chain letters, or pyramid schemes, or harvest or collect email addresses or other contact information of other users from the Services for the purposes of sending commercial emails;

  • introduce to the Services any virus, trojan worms, logic bombs, or other harmful material;

22. ARBITRATION.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH THE COMPANY AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM THE COMPANY.

Except for any disputes, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, demands, or proceedings (collectively, “Disputes”) arising out of or related to a violation of Section 11 or Disputes in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents, you and JOP agree (a) to waive your and the Company’s respective rights to have any and all Disputes arising from or related to these Terms or the Services, resolved in a court, and (b) to waive your and the Company’s respective rights to a jury trial. Instead, you and the Company agree to arbitrate Disputes through binding arbitration (which is the referral of a Dispute to one or more persons charged with reviewing the Dispute and making a final and binding determination to resolve it instead of having the Dispute decided by a judge or jury in court).

 

22.2. No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions, or Representative Actions

You and the Company agree that any Dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services is personal to you and JOP and that such Dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action, or any other type of representative proceeding. You and the Company agree that there will be no class arbitration or arbitration in which an individual attempts to resolve a Dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals. Further, you and the Company agree that a Dispute cannot be brought as a class or other type of representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other individual or group of individuals.

 

22.3. Federal Arbitration Act

You and Company agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 21 shall be both substantively and procedurally governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

 

22.4. Notice; Informal Dispute Resolution

You and the Company agree that each party will notify the other party in writing of any arbitrable or small claims Dispute within thirty (30) days of the date it arises, so that the parties can attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute informally. Notice to the Company shall be sent by certified mail or courier to Joy of Pursuit, 1525 Woodward Ct. Maryville, TN 37803. Your notice must include (a) your name, postal address, telephone number, the email address you use or used for your JOP account, and, if different, an email address at which you can be contacted; (b) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute; and (c) the specific relief you are seeking. Our notice to you will be sent electronically and will include (x) our name, postal address, telephone number, and an email address at which we can be contacted with respect to the Dispute; (y) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute, and (z) the specific relief that we are seeking. If you and the Company cannot agree how to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after the date notice is received by the applicable party, then either you or Company may, as appropriate and in accordance with this Section 21, commence an arbitration proceeding.

 

22.5. Process

Except for Disputes arising out of or related to a violation of Section 12 or Disputes in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents, you and the Company agree that any Dispute must be commenced or filed by you or JOP within one (1) year of the date the Dispute arose, otherwise the underlying claim is permanently barred (which means that you and JOP will no longer have the right to assert such claim regarding the Dispute). You and the Company agree that (a) any arbitration will occur in Henderson County, Texas; (b) arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), which are hereby incorporated by reference, and (c) that the state or federal courts of the State of Tennessee and the United States, respectively, sitting in the Blount County, Tennessee, have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award. You may also litigate a Dispute in the small claims court located in the county of your billing address if the Dispute meets the requirements to be heard in small claims court.

 

22.6. Authority of Arbitrator

As limited by the FAA, these Terms, and the applicable JAMS rules, the arbitrator will have (a) the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding a Dispute, including the determination of whether a Dispute is arbitrable; and (b) the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding, or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.

 

22.7. Rules of JAMS

The rules of JAMS and additional information about JAMS are available on the JAMS website. By agreeing to be bound by these Terms, you either (a) acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS, or (b) waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.

 

22.8. Severability

If any term, clause or provision of this Section 21 is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be so held to the minimum extent required by law, and all other terms, clauses and provisions of this Section 21 will remain valid and enforceable. Further, the waivers set forth in Section 21.2 are severable from the other provisions of these Terms and will remain valid and enforceable, except as prohibited by applicable law.

 

22.9. Opt-Out Right

You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 21 by writing to: Joy of Pursuit, 1525 Woodward Ct Maryville, TN 37803. In order to be effective, the opt out notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with Section 21.

 

23. GOVERNING LAW; FORUM.

Any dispute between you and the Company regarding the subject matter of these Terms will be governed by these Terms and the laws of the State of Texas and applicable United States law, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that may provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction. You and JOP agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to any actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property, or relating to these Terms shall be filed only in the state and federal courts located in Henderson County, Texas (except for small claims disputes, which may be filed in the jurisdiction in which you reside), and you hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of these Terms.
