I understand that not all of the risks associated with the course activities occurring during the Course are known or foreseeable. I understand that any concepts, notions, ideas, suggestions, and recommendations from the Course or the Staff that I accept and/or apply to my life, I do of my own free will.

Addendum: Recurring Payment Terms for the Weekly Embodied Sovereignty Group

1. Enrollment and Authorization

By enrolling in the weekly Embodied Sovereignty group, you authorize Embodied Sovereignty (Mat Weddle and PennyAnn Horowytz) to automatically charge your payment method on file $200 per month, on the same date each month as your original enrollment date, until you cancel in accordance with this policy.

2. Minimum Commitment

Enrollment requires a minimum commitment of three consecutive monthly payments from your start date. After your three month commitment is complete, your membership automatically continues on a month to month basis at the then current monthly rate until you cancel.

3. Billing

Your monthly charge is processed automatically on the same date each month as your enrollment date. If that date does not occur in a given month, for example the 31st, the charge is processed on the last day of that month instead. Keeping your payment method current is your responsibility.

4. Cancellation

You may cancel your recurring membership at any time after completing your three month minimum commitment, using the cancellation link included in your enrollment confirmation and billing emails. Canceling stops all future charges before your next scheduled payment, and you keep access to the group through the end of the period you already paid for. No refunds are issued for partial months.

5. Missed or Failed Payments

If a scheduled payment fails or is declined, we will attempt to charge your payment method again within 3 days. A payment more than 7 days past due is subject to a $25 late fee. If payment cannot be collected within 14 days, your enrollment may be paused or terminated.

6. Price Changes

We reserve the right to change the monthly membership price for future billing cycles. You will be notified at least 30 days before any price change takes effect, and you may cancel before the new price applies to you.

7. No Refunds for Missed Sessions

Because this is an ongoing weekly group rather than a fixed program, no credit or refund is issued for individual sessions you are unable to attend.
