Terms & Conditions

Please read these Terms carefully

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. THEY CONTAIN A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, A DISCLAIMER OF GUARANTEES, AND A DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION THAT AFFECTS HOW CLAIMS BETWEEN US ARE RESOLVED.

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) form an agreement between you and Founders Forge, Days of a Tree LLC (“Founders Forge,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

They apply to your use of foundersforge.pro (the “Website”) and to any program, session, product, or service we offer, including the Founders Forge Cohort, private coaching and strategy sessions, audits, intensives, workshops, speaking engagements, digital materials, and the book Be One of Zero (collectively, the “Services”).

By using the Website, booking a session, enrolling in the Cohort, or purchasing any Service, you agree to these Terms. If you are agreeing on behalf of a company or organization, you represent that you have authority to bind it, and “you” includes that organization.

1. Who we are and what we provide

Founders Forge provides leadership and business coaching, group programs, workshops, speaking engagements, and educational materials for founders, executives, and business owners. Our Services are educational and coaching in nature.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a contract to purchase or use our Services. Our Services are intended for business owners, founders, executives, and organizations.

3. Booking, enrollment, and scheduling

Private sessions. Private sessions are booked through our scheduling platform. Your booking is confirmed when you receive a confirmation from the scheduling platform. Private sessions are held by video conference unless we agree otherwise. Current availability is stated on the Website and may change.

The Cohort. The Founders Forge Cohort is a 24-week live program. Enrollment is completed through the community platform listed on the Cohort page. Enrollment is open while seats remain and closes when the Cohort reaches capacity. Cohort dates, capacity, session times, curriculum, guest speakers, and included materials are as described on the Cohort page and may be adjusted as described in Section 6.

Speaking engagements. Speaking, workshop, and retreat engagements are scoped individually. If we issue a separate speaking agreement, statement of work, or contract, that document controls over these Terms for that engagement.

4. Payment terms

All prices are in U.S. dollars. Prices posted on the Website may change at any time, but a change will not affect a purchase you have already completed.

You authorize us and our payment providers to charge the payment method you provide for the amount shown at checkout, including any applicable taxes.

Payment plans. Where a payment plan is offered, you authorize automatic recurring charges to your payment method on the schedule presented at checkout until the full balance is paid. Choosing a payment plan is a commitment to the full program price, not to individual installments.

Failed or late payments. If a payment fails, we may retry the charge and will attempt to contact you. If a payment remains unpaid, we may suspend or terminate your access to the program until the balance is current. Any remaining balance stays due.

Chargebacks. If you initiate a chargeback for a charge you authorized, we may suspend your access while the dispute is resolved and may pursue the amount owed.

5. Cancellation, rescheduling, and refunds

Cancellation, rescheduling, and refund terms are presented to you at the point of purchase on the platform where you book or enroll — our scheduling platform for private sessions, and the community platform for the Cohort. Those terms apply to your purchase and are incorporated into these Terms.

In addition:

Rescheduling private sessions. Please reschedule using the link in your confirmation. Reschedule requests made with reasonable advance notice will be accommodated subject to availability.

In-person engagements. Founder Immersion Week and other on-site engagements are governed by the separate engagement agreement issued after scoping, which sets out the schedule, deposit, cancellation and rescheduling terms, and responsibility for travel, lodging, and on-site costs. Where that agreement conflicts with these Terms, it controls.

No-shows. If you do not attend a scheduled session and did not reschedule in advance, the session is considered delivered.

Program access. Access to the community platform, live sessions, and replays is provided for the period stated for your program and ends when that period ends.

Digital materials. Because digital materials are delivered immediately and cannot be returned, they are generally not refundable except as required by law.

Rescheduling by us. If we must move a session or a Cohort call, we will give as much notice as we reasonably can and will offer a replacement session, a recording, or another reasonable alternative.

The book. Be One of Zero is sold through third-party retailers. Returns and refunds for the book are handled by the retailer under that retailer’s policy, not by us.

6. Cohort participation and community rules

The Cohort depends on participation. You are responsible for attending, doing the work, and implementing what you learn. We do not guarantee any particular outcome.

We may adjust session times, guest speakers, curriculum order, session content, or the summit format where reasonably necessary. We will communicate material changes to enrolled members.

While participating in the Cohort or community platform, you agree not to:

• Share, resell, republish, or distribute program materials, recordings, or content outside the program
• Share your login credentials or give another person access to your seat
• Disclose another member’s confidential business information outside the program
• Solicit, pitch, or market to other members without their consent, unless we have said otherwise
• Harass, demean, threaten, or discriminate against any member, guest, or facilitator
• Record any session yourself without our written permission

We may remove you from the Cohort or community without refund for conduct that materially violates these rules or harms other members.

7. Recordings and replays

Live sessions may be recorded so participants can access replays. If a session is being recorded, we will say so before recording begins. You may keep your camera and microphone off if you do not want to appear.

Recordings and replays are provided for your personal use during your program access period. You may not download, copy, share, post, resell, or distribute them.

8. Confidentiality

We treat what you share with us in a private session or intake as confidential and will not disclose it publicly without your permission, except where disclosure is required by law or necessary to prevent serious harm.

In group settings, you agree to keep what other members share confidential. Coaching is not a legally privileged relationship, and communications with us are not protected in the way communications with an attorney, physician, or licensed therapist are.

9. No guarantee of results

We do not guarantee any specific business, financial, revenue, growth, personal, health, or professional result.

Any results, examples, testimonials, case studies, statistics, or client outcomes described on the Website, in the book, in marketing materials, or in our programs are illustrations of what has been achieved by specific people and are not typical, average, or promised results. They are not a guarantee that you will achieve anything similar.

Your results depend on many factors outside our control, including your business, market, industry, capital, team, timing, effort, experience, decisions, health, and circumstances.

You are solely responsible for your own decisions and their consequences. You accept full responsibility for the actions you take and do not take.

10. Not professional advice

Our Services are educational and coaching services. They are not, and are not a substitute for:

• Legal advice
• Tax, accounting, or audit advice
• Investment, securities, or financial advice
• Insurance advice
• Medical, psychiatric, or psychological care
• Therapy, counseling, or crisis intervention

Coaching is not therapy or mental health treatment. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please contact a licensed professional or emergency services. In the United States, you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.

Please consult a qualified licensed professional before acting on anything discussed in a session, in a program, or in our materials.

11. Intellectual property

All content we create is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. This includes the Website and its text, design, and images; the Be One of Zero book and its frameworks; the Founders Forge OS and the six pillars; the Life Audit, the Four Arenas of Business, and the productivity frameworks; session materials, worksheets, slides, templates, and recordings; and the Founders Forge name and logo.

Purchasing a Service gives you a limited, personal, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use the materials for your own business and your own internal use during your access period.

You may not copy, reproduce, republish, resell, license, distribute, or publicly share our materials; use them to build or deliver a competing coaching program, course, or training; teach or deliver our frameworks to third parties for compensation; or remove any copyright, trademark, or attribution notice.

You may share brief quotations with attribution to Founders Forge.

12. Your content and testimonials

You keep ownership of the information, documents, and materials you provide to us. You grant us permission to use them as needed to deliver the Services to you.

If you voluntarily provide a testimonial, review, quote, photo, video, or written feedback, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, edit for length and clarity, and publish it in our marketing, including on the Website, in social media, in the book, and in program materials, together with your name, business name, title, and likeness as you provided them.

If you would like a testimonial removed from future materials, email us and we will stop using it going forward.

13. Third-party platforms

Our Services are delivered in part through third-party platforms, including our scheduling, community, video conferencing, form, email, and payment providers. Your use of those platforms is subject to their own terms and privacy policies.

We are not responsible for the availability, performance, security, pricing, policies, or actions of any third-party platform. If a third-party platform experiences an outage or ends a service, we will make reasonable efforts to provide an alternative.

14. Acceptable use of the Website

You agree not to use the Website to violate any law; to attempt unauthorized access to our systems, accounts, or data; to introduce malware or interfere with the Website’s operation; to collect information about other users; to use automated tools to extract content at scale; or to impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Website at our discretion.

15. Disclaimer of warranties

THE WEBSITE AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE WEBSITE OR SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY CONTENT IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR CURRENT.

16. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST BUSINESS, LOST DATA, LOST OPPORTUNITY, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE WEBSITE OR SERVICES, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE WEBSITE OR SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID US FOR THE SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain damages. In those jurisdictions, these limitations apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

17. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Founders Forge, Days of a Tree LLC, and its owner, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to your use of the Website or Services, your breach of these Terms, your business decisions or actions, or your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.

18. Term and termination

These Terms apply while you use the Website or any Service.

We may suspend or terminate your access to any Service, the community platform, or the Website at any time for non-payment, breach of these Terms, or conduct that harms other participants or our business. Where termination is for your breach or non-payment, no refund is due and any outstanding balance remains payable.

You may stop using the Website at any time. Cancellation of a paid Service is governed by Section 5 and the terms presented at purchase.

Sections 8 through 12 and 15 through 21 survive termination.

19. Dispute resolution and governing law

Governing law. These Terms and any dispute arising out of them are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.

Informal resolution first. Before filing any claim, you agree to contact us at karla@foundersforge.pro and give us 30 days to try to resolve the matter informally. Most issues can be resolved this way.

Venue. If a dispute is not resolved informally, you agree that it will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Onslow County, North Carolina, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there.

Jury and class action waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each party waives the right to a trial by jury, and each party agrees to bring claims only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, or representative action.

Time limit. Any claim arising out of or relating to the Website or Services must be brought within one year after the claim arose, or it is permanently barred, except where a longer period is required by law.

20. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the “last updated” date and post the revised version on the Website. Material changes will not apply retroactively to a purchase you already completed. Your continued use of the Website or Services after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

21. General provisions

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any terms presented at purchase, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Website and Services. If we sign a separate written agreement with you for a specific engagement, that agreement controls where it conflicts with these Terms.

Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the rest of these Terms will remain in effect.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your program access without our written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.

Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay or failure to perform caused by events outside its reasonable control, including natural disasters, severe weather, illness, war, civil unrest, government action, labor disruption, utility or internet failure, or third-party platform outage.

No agency. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise, or agency relationship between us.

Notices. We may send notices to the email address associated with your account or purchase. You may send notices to karla@foundersforge.pro.
