Occasionally, the Company may provide bonuses to participants who enroll in the Program. While you are entitled to any bonuses offered at the time of your enrollment, these bonuses are not assured to be available throughout the entire duration of the Program and may vary based on specific live and automated promotions over the course of the year.
Moreover, the Company retains the discretion to introduce additional elements to the Program for certain subgroups of participants at various times. These supplementary elements are considered bonuses and are not included in the base version of the Program. The selection of participants eligible for these additional elements is determined solely by the Company.
PARTICIPANTS
This Program is specifically designed for individuals who are 18 years old and above. It contains content that may not be suitable for children, and the Company explicitly disclaims all liability for its use by anyone under the age of 18.
The intended audience for this Program comprises researchers engaged in or aspiring to engage in equitable community-engaged research. It is tailored to enhance the research trajectories of these individuals by equipping them with relevant skills and strategies applicable to their work in community settings.
COMPANY TERMS

FEES
To access the Program, the following payment options are available:
- A one-time payment of $1,500, due immediately.

Payment can be made using a credit card, debit card, or other third-party payment system, such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Klarna. There are no payment plans hosted by the Company.
Cancellation of payments can only be done in accordance with the Refund Policy.
METHODS OF PAYMENT
If you choose to pay by debit or credit card, you authorize us to automatically charge your card for all applicable fees and charges without needing further authorization. You will receive an electronic receipt for these transactions. Additionally, you consent to the Company sharing any necessary payment details with third-party payment service providers involved in processing transactions, such as credit card processing and merchant settlement services.
Should your payment method on file be declined when attempting to pay any recurring fees, you are required to promptly update your payment method. Failure to do so will result in termination of your access to the Program.
You also agree, in the absence of a refund request in line with the Program’s Refund Policy, to fulfill any remaining payments according to your initial agreement. The Company is authorized to collect any outstanding payments using any eligible payment method you have provided, without prior notification, unless such notice is mandated by law.
REFUND POLICY
We aim for your satisfaction with your purchase, while also encouraging you to fully engage with and apply the strategies provided in the course. Due to the digital nature of this course and its materials, all payments are non-refundable and you are responsible for full payment of the fees for the program regardless of whether you complete the program.
Because of the extensive time, effort, preparation and care that goes into creating and providing the Program, the Company has a no refund policy. Unless otherwise provided by law, you acknowledge that we do not offer refunds for any portion of your payment for any of our Program and no refunds will be provided to you. By using and/or purchasing our Program, you understand and agree that, except for the limited refund policy described above, all sales are final and no refunds will be provided.
Since we have a clear and explicit Refund Policy in these terms that you have agreed to prior to completing the purchase of the Program, we do not tolerate or accept any type of chargeback threat or actual chargeback from your credit card company or payment processor. If a chargeback is placed on a purchase or we receive a chargeback threat during or after your purchase, we reserve the right to report the incident to all three credit reporting agencies or to any other entity for inclusion in any chargeback database or for listing as a delinquent account, which could have a negative impact on your credit report score. The information reported will include your name, email address, order date, order amount, and billing address. Chargeback abusers wishing to be removed from the database shall make the payment for the amount of the chargeback.
Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine how to discipline a participant who violates these Terms. Therefore, if a participant disagrees with how the Company disciplines another member and requests a refund, the Company will deny such request.
Furthermore, if a participant violates these Terms, the Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to offer the participant another opportunity to abide by these Terms. If a participant disagrees with the Company offering another participant a second opportunity to follow these terms, no grounds for a participant to receive a refund would be created, and any request for a refund on this basis shall be denied.
If, in the Company’s sole right and discretion, you persist with behaviors or actions that violate these Terms, the Company may terminate your access and participation in the Program without notice and without refund.

NO TRANSFER OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY; LIMITED LICENSE
All content provided in the Program, including text, graphics, logos, images, compilations, and any software, is owned by the Company or its suppliers and is protected under copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
The Company’s name, logo, slogan, and all related product names, logos, designs, and slogans are trademarked by the Company or its affiliates or licensors. You are prohibited from using any of these marks without the Company’s prior written consent. Trademarks not owned by the Company that appear in the Program are the property of their respective owners.
As a participant or purchaser of the Program, you are granted a revocable, non-transferable license for personal, non-commercial use, exclusively for you. This allows you to view, download, print, and email a single copy of individual pages of the Program and Content for your personal use or within your own business operations only.
Your involvement in the Program does not convey any intellectual property rights to you. You are required to adhere to all intellectual property laws regarding the protection of content provided in the Program. Republishing, reproducing, duplicating, copying, selling, displaying, disclosing, or distributing the content from the Program for commercial purposes or for monetary gains, including sharing with third parties, is strictly prohibited.

This charge is not a penalty but is an agreed-upon amount for damages resulting from unauthorized use.
The Company also reserves the right to seek injunctive relief for any violation or potential violation of intellectual property terms, as such violations could cause irreparable harm that monetary damages alone may not adequately compensate.
FORCE MAJEURE
The Company will not be held liable or considered to have defaulted or breached this Agreement for any failure or delay in meeting its obligations under this Agreement when such failure or delay arises from circumstances beyond the Company’s reasonable control. This includes, but is not limited to, natural disasters (such as floods, fires, earthquakes), pandemics, the death or incapacitation of Cana Uluak Itchuaqiyaq or Corina Qaaġraq Kramer, explosions, changes in law, government actions, wars, hostilities, terrorist acts, riots, civil unrest, national emergencies, revolutions, insurrections, epidemics, labor disputes not specifically related to the Company’s workforce, transportation difficulties, delays in securing adequate materials or supplies, telecommunications breakdowns, or power outages, all referred to as a “Force Majeure Event.”

SEVERABILITY
If any term or provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. The remainder of this Agreement will remain in full force and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be replaced by a valid or enforceable provision.
