Terms & Conditions

Terms of Service for the Feel Good Effect Coaching Certification Program

Introduction

The www.thefeelgoodeffect.com website (the “Site”) allows you to sign up for the six week Feel Good Effect Coaching Certification Program (the “Program”). 

We tried to make these Terms digestible. Please read them and note that they contain a mandatory arbitration provision and class action waiver.

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) apply to use of the Site and associated content, information, materials, and the Feel Good Coaching Certification Program (collectively, the “Services”). The Services are owned by Real Food Whole Life, LLC, an Oregon limited liability company, doing business as The Feel Good Effect (referred to as “we” and “us” in these Terms). Where we say “you” and “your” in these terms, we are referring to you as an individual unless you purchased the right to use the Services on behalf of an entity, in which case we are referring to that entity. If you purchased on behalf of an entity, you are the only person within that entity that is permitted to use the Services. 

Payment 

When you click the “[Buy/Subscribe]” button, your credit card will be charged. All payments are final and there are no refunds. For initial registration in the Program, you will be charged a one-time payment of $1,997 (the “Fee”).

The term “Materials” includes our online tutorials, workbooks, powerpoint presentations, handouts, videos, procedures, additional training materials, technologies, data, know-how, and other confidential information.

Binding Arbitration

Please read this carefully. It affects your rights. We and you agree to arbitrate all claims relating the Services or these Terms.

The arbitration shall be governed by the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) Expedited Arbitration Rules and Procedures, as modified by these Terms, and shall be administered by AAA. The AAA Rules and fee information are available at www.adr.org. You understand and agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and we are waiving the right to a trial by jury. Unless we and you agree otherwise, all hearings conducted as part of the arbitration shall take place remotely if permitted by the AAA Rules, or in Portland, Oregon if not so permitted.
