THESE TERMS CONTAIN AN ARBITRATION CLAUSE, DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY. PLEASE REVIEW CAREFULLY.
The following terms (“Terms of Use”) constitute an agreement between Simple Pin Media LLC (“Company”), and you that governs your use of this website and all of its associated services, content, and functionality. This policy applies to the website administered by Company (the “Website”), located at https://www.simplepinmedia.com/. Company, owner and operator of the Website, is a limited liability company formed under the laws of the state of Oregon, United States.
Your use of the Website constitutes your acceptance of, and agreement to, the following Terms of Use. Company reserves the right to modify, alter, amend or update its Website, policies, and these Terms of Use. These Terms of Use are subject to change without notice. If you do not agree with or do not accept any part of these Terms of Use, you must not use the Website. Your continued use of any part of the Website constitutes your acceptance of such changes to the Terms of Use. You should review the Terms of Use periodically to determine if any changes have been made.
PURCHASE POLICIES
On the Website, you may purchase products, such as the Simple Pins Ad Society (the “SPAS Membership”), digital downloads and workbooks (collectively the “Products”).
The SPAS Membership includes handouts and video content, one workshop per month, and live group Q&A calls. You will have access to all content for as long as you remain a member.
The SPAS Membership may be referred to individually as a “Membership.” The Membership is available for a monthly, quarterly, or yearly fee, which you may choose at time of purchase (the “Membership Subscription Fee”). You will be required to select a payment plan and provide Company’s third-party payment provider with information regarding your credit card or another payment instrument. You represent and warrant to Company that such information is true and that you are authorized to use the payment instrument. You will promptly update your User Account information with any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur. You agree to pay Company the amount that is specified in the payment plan in accordance with the terms of such plan and these Terms of Use. You hereby authorize Company to bill your payment instrument in advance in accordance with the terms of the applicable payment plan until you terminate your User Account, and you further agree to pay any charges so incurred. If you dispute any charges you must let Company know within sixty (60) days after the date that Company charges you. Company reserves the right to change the price of the Membership. Your continued use of the Membership after the price change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount. Access will be revoked to the Membership if you choose a payment plan or subscription and do not complete the payments on schedule.
Your Membership will automatically renew each month, quarter, or year, depending on the payment plan you have selected. It is your responsibility to cancel the Membership prior to renewal. You may terminate by accessing your Thrivecart Customer Hub (found in the FAQ section of your membership). Alternatively, you can cancel your membership by sending a cancellation request via email to [email protected].
Refund Policy
Membership may be canceled at any time, but upon cancellation, your Membership access is immediately revoked. Company does not offer refunds (including prorated refunds) after the Membership Subscription Fee has been charged.
For all Products, other than the Membership, Company does not offer refunds. All sales are final (because they are digital products). Certain jurisdictions may have longer periods where refunds will be granted. Company will honor such periods as required by law.
