OVERVIEW
The terms “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to The Modern Legal Collective by K Bennett Law LLC or Watch Us Lead by K Bennett Law LLC. The term “Site” refers to either the modernlegalcollective.com or kimberlybennett.com. The term “Client”, “user,” “you” and “your” refers to both individual clients and business clients, including their team members (such as employees, contractors, and other representatives of the client’s company) and any other users of the site. The term “Service” refers to the services included in The Programs as outlined below.
Use of the Service, including all information and educational materials presented herein by The Company, is subject to the following terms and conditions. These Terms and Conditions apply to all clients, and all other users of the site. By using the Site or Service you agree to these Terms and Conditions, without modification, and acknowledge reading them.
Where separate agreements for specific services like private coaching or business consulting exist, their terms supersede related provisions in these Terms and Conditions.
ACCESS TO PROGRAM
The Programs include, but are not limited to, course content, written content, recorded video and/or audio content, live and/or pre-recorded calls, and/or discussions in Program related forums (collectively, “Materials”). For individual clients, The Programs and Materials may be accessed solely by the individual who is the customer on record with the Company. For business clients, The Programs and Materials may be accessed by designated individuals within the business entity, as specified and agreed upon in the client's registration with the Company. You agree that The Programs and Materials, including any usernames or passwords, may only be used by you as permitted by the terms of this agreement and may not be sold or distributed without the Company’s express written consent. Your access to The Programs may be revoked for failure to abide by these Terms of Service or for failure to make timely and full payments to the Company for your purchase of The Programs.
USE OF THE SITE AND SERVICE
To access or use the Site, you must be 18 years of age or older and have the requisite power and authority to enter into these Terms and Conditions. Children under the age of 18 are prohibited from using the Site. Information provided on the Site and in the Service related to subscription service design, recurring revenue, business strategy and other information are subject to change. The Company makes no representation or warranty that the information provided, regardless of its source (the “Content”), is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. The Company disclaims all liability for any inaccuracy, error, or incompleteness in the Content.
PROGRAM PAYMENT POLICY
You are responsible for full payment of our Programs and Products, including all applicable taxes and fees, and must provide a valid credit card or other payment methods. You authorize us to charge your card for all owed Program balances, and you agree to keep your payment information current. For payment plans, charges will be made according to the schedule indicated at registration, in United States Dollars (USD), on the same day each month. Missing a payment changes your account status to “delinquent,” resulting in immediate loss of access to future Modules, Bonuses, and Site Content, effective seven days after payment decline. Access to new Program versions will be withheld until full payment is received. Accounts delinquent over sixty days may be reported to credit agencies at the Company's discretion. Our Program is not a “pay in part” option; it requires complete participation and immersion. Payment plans are offered for your convenience to facilitate sustainable pricing.
For private coaching and business clients who enter into separate agreements with the Company, the payment terms and conditions specified in those agreements will apply. Should these agreements explicitly supersede the standard terms here, they will govern the financial arrangements for those specific clients.
CANCELLATION, REFUNDS, & RETURNS
No refunds will be offered after joining The Programs or purchasing a product. By purchasing this event, you understand that we do not offer refunds for digital products or events after purchase. However, your satisfaction is our #1 priority. Please email us at hello@kimberlybennett.com to let us know why you’re unsatisfied and we will jump in and do our best to meet your needs.
