Class Refund & Cancellation Policy

How do I cancel my registration?

When you register for one of our educational marketing events, your seat is reserved and held exclusively for you. However, we do understand that life happens. If you need to cancel a paid registration for one of our classes, seminars or clinic workshops, please call us at least 15 business days in advance of the workshop date for a full credit toward an upcoming educational event or a refund back to the original payment method, minus a $40 processing fee.

What is your refund policy?

As an attendee, if you are unhappy with the educational content delivered at one of our marketing events, please give us a call to request a refund form. Refunds will be cheerfully made minus food and beverage costs, workshop materials and credit card processing fees. Due to the costs associated with educational events, we cannot offer refunds for non-attendance or for disruptive attendees who have been ejected from an event.

What happens if my event is cancelled?

Due to unforeseen circumstances, sometimes we may be forced to cancel a class, seminar, group coaching session or clinic workshop. If this should occur, we will notify you as quickly as possible. If a cancellation should become necessary, we will refund your registration fees in full, or you may choose to apply your refund towards an upcoming educational marketing event.

Workshop Etiquette

We want you to greatly benefit from the marketing strategies you will learn at our educational events or group coaching sessions. However, please be courteous in your conversation, tone of voice, body language and actions toward your fellow attendees, the venue service staff and the event team and speaker. In the unusual event that an attendee is engaging in disruptive, offensive or abusive behavior, he or she will be ejected from the event.

Business Networking

Most of our educational marketing events includes a dedicated time for you and other attendees to speak briefly about you and your small business and usually includes a time for you to socialize over an included beverage and/or food service.

Dress Code

As we seek to create a very professional and comfortable environment for all business attendees, we recommend business formal, such as a business suit for both ladies and gentlemen. However, business casual is also welcomed. As a courtesy to your fellow business colleagues, please do not arrive attired in athletic shoes, flip-flops, shorts or tee shirts.

California Online Privacy Protection Act

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared. – See more at: http://consumercal.org/californiaonline-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf
According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:

  • Users can visit our site anonymously.
  • Once this privacy policy is created, we will add a link to it on our home page or as a minimum, on the first significant page after entering our website.
  • Our Privacy Policy link includes the word “Privacy” and can easily be found on the page specified above.

You will be notified of any Privacy Policy changes:

  • On our Privacy Policy Page

You can change your personal information:

  • By emailing us or by logging into your account.

Does our site allow third-party behavioral tracking?

  • It’s also important to note that we do not allow third-party behavioral tracking

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States’ consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.

  • We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.

Fair Information Practices

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.
In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:

  • We will notify you via email within 7 business days.
  • We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires individuals have enforceable rights against data users, as well as recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
