Terms of Service
The Course Closer Operated by [YOUR BUSINESS ENTITY NAME] ("Company," "we," "us," "our") Website: thecoursecloser.com Last updated: [INSERT PUBLISH DATE]
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of The Course Closer, a digital course sold at thecoursecloser.com (the "Course"), and any related materials, worksheets, templates, or bonus content (collectively, the "Content"). By purchasing, accessing, or using the Course, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not purchase or access the Course.
The Course is delivered through our website at thecoursecloser.com, and payments are processed through Stripe. Your purchase is also subject to Stripe's terms, in addition to these Terms.
1. Who This Applies To
These Terms apply to anyone who purchases, accesses, previews, or otherwise uses the Course, whether under the $49 Core Course tier or the $95 Closer Kit tier (each an "Offer," collectively "you" or "Customer").
You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, to purchase the Course. If you are purchasing on behalf of a business, you represent that you have authority to bind that business to these Terms.
2. Access to the Course
- Upon successful payment, you will receive an access link by email at the address used at checkout. Access links are time-limited; you can request a new one at any time.
- Access is a one-time purchase — there is no recurring subscription or recurring charge for either tier.
- Access is described as "lifetime access," meaning for as long as the Course remains offered on the platform we operate. In the unlikely event we discontinue the Course entirely, we will make reasonable efforts to notify purchasers in advance and provide a downloadable copy of core materials where feasible.
- Access is for your personal or single-business use only. Do not share your login, resell access, or distribute Course materials to anyone who has not purchased it (see Section 4, Acceptable Use).
- We are not responsible for access issues caused by third-party service outages, your own internet connectivity, or your failure to safeguard access to your email account.
3. Tiers and What's Included
- $49 — Core Course: all course modules (written), validation/curriculum/pricing worksheets, lifetime access.
- $95 — Core + Closer Kit: everything in the Core Course, plus the platform setup walkthrough, sales page swipe file, email sequence templates, launch-week checklist, and async office hours/feedback as described on the sales page at time of purchase.
The specific inclusions of each tier are as described on the sales page at the time of your purchase. We may improve, add to, or update Course content over time; we do not guarantee that future additions to one tier will automatically be added to the other, retroactively, for free.
4. Acceptable Use
You agree that you will not:
- Share, resell, sublicense, distribute, or post Course materials (video, written content, worksheets, templates, or any other Content) publicly or to any person who has not personally purchased the Course.
- Record, copy, screenshot, or reproduce Course materials for redistribution.
- Use the Course, or any templates/materials provided within it, to create a directly competing course or product that substantially copies our content, structure, or copy.
- Use any automated system (bots, scrapers) to access the Course platform.
- Engage in abusive, harassing, or fraudulent conduct toward us, our staff, or other customers (including chargeback fraud — see Section 8).
- Attempt to circumvent payment, access controls, or the security of our website.
We reserve the right to revoke access, without refund, for any violation of this section.
5. No Guarantee of Results
This is important and we want to be direct about it. The Course teaches a system, framework, and set of strategies for validating, packaging, pricing, building, and launching a course or digital offer. It is educational content.
- We do not guarantee any specific financial outcome, income level, number of sales, or business result from taking the Course.
- Any results mentioned anywhere in our marketing (case studies, examples, founding-member stories, or otherwise) are illustrative or specific to the individual described, and are not a promise or guarantee of what you personally will achieve.
- Your results depend on factors entirely outside our control, including but not limited to: your market, your effort, your existing audience or lack thereof, your execution of the material, pricing decisions, competition, platform changes, and general business and economic conditions.
- Business and marketing involve inherent risk. By purchasing the Course, you acknowledge that you are responsible for your own business decisions and outcomes, and that the Company is not liable for your results (or lack thereof).
Nothing in the Course, our sales page, or our marketing should be construed as a promise of specific earnings, a guarantee of success, or professional financial, legal, tax, or investment advice.
6. Intellectual Property
- All Course content — videos, written lessons, worksheets, templates, sales page swipe files, email sequence templates, checklists, branding, and any other materials provided as part of the Course — is the sole property of [YOUR BUSINESS ENTITY NAME] / The Course Closer, protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.
- Purchasing the Course grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Content for your own personal or single-business purposes. It does not transfer ownership of the Content to you.
- Templates and swipe files included in the $95 tier are licensed for your own use in your own business. You may adapt them for your own offers; you may not resell, redistribute, or repackage the templates themselves as a standalone product.
- All trademarks, the "The Course Closer" name and branding, and the thecoursecloser.com domain are owned by [YOUR BUSINESS ENTITY NAME]. No license to use our branding is granted by purchasing the Course.
7. Payments
- All payments are processed securely on Stripe's own hosted checkout page. Your card details never pass through our website, and we do not collect or store them.
- Prices are listed in USD unless otherwise stated. You are responsible for any currency conversion or foreign transaction fees charged by your bank or card issuer.
- Purchases are one-time payments; there is no recurring billing associated with either tier as currently offered.
8. Refunds and Chargebacks
The Course is delivered in full immediately upon purchase and all sales are final. Refunds are governed by our separate [Refund Policy], which is incorporated into these Terms by reference and sets out the limited exceptions (duplicate charges, failure of delivery, and statutory consumer rights). Please review it before purchasing.
Initiating a credit card chargeback or payment dispute without first contacting us is a violation of these Terms and will result in immediate and permanent loss of access to the Course, in addition to any rights we have to dispute the chargeback with Stripe or the card issuer.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law:
- The Course and all Content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
- We do not warrant that the Course will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that defects will be corrected, including outages or issues attributable to our hosting provider, Stripe, or other third-party services outside our direct control.
- In no event shall [YOUR BUSINESS ENTITY NAME], its founder, employees, or affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, lost business opportunities, or loss of data, arising from your purchase or use of the Course, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
- Our total aggregate liability to you for any claim arising from these Terms or the Course shall not exceed the amount you actually paid for the Course.
- Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.
10. Third-Party Platforms
Payments are processed via Stripe, and the site is served by our hosting provider. Your use of these services is also governed by their respective terms and privacy policies:
- Stripe Terms of Service: https://stripe.com/legal
- [HOSTING PROVIDER] Terms of Service: [INSERT LINK]
We are not responsible for the acts, omissions, downtime, security incidents, or policy changes of these third-party platforms, though we will make reasonable efforts to notify you of any material impact to your access.
11. Changes to the Course or These Terms
We may update these Terms, the Course curriculum, or the platform we use to deliver the Course from time to time. Material changes to these Terms will be reflected by an updated "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Course after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
12. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Course, without refund, if you violate these Terms (including the Acceptable Use section) or engage in fraudulent payment activity. You may stop using the Course at any time; discontinuing use does not entitle you to a refund outside of our Refund Policy.
13. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of [INSERT STATE/COUNTRY OF BUSINESS FORMATION], without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Course shall be resolved in the courts located in [INSERT JURISDICTION], unless otherwise required by applicable consumer protection law.
