By enrolling in, purchasing from, accessing, or otherwise using any part of The Studio, whether as a paid subscriber, guest participant, affiliate, or free user, you acknowledge that:

• You have read and understood these Terms in full;
• You accept and agree to be legally bound by them;
• You are at least 18 years of age and legally competent to enter into this agreement;
• You will comply with all rules, policies, and applicable laws referenced herein or imposed by governing jurisdictions.

If you do not agree to be bound by these Terms, you are strictly prohibited from accessing or using The Studio, and must immediately discontinue all use of the Platform, its content, and associated services.

These Terms govern all current and future access to The Studio. We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time, and continued use of the Platform constitutes acceptance of such modifications.

1. MEMBERSHIP ACCESS & SUBSCRIPTION TERMS

1.1 Membership Offerings and Subscription Structure.
The Studio by Aligned Designs LLC (“The Studio”) provides access to its content, community, and digital offerings through a subscription-based model, with two primary options:

• Monthly Membership: Billed at $98 USD per month, recurring automatically unless terminated in accordance with these Terms.
• Annual Membership: Billed at $980 USD per year, representing a prepaid 12-month commitment, inclusive of bonus access to The Archive and other members-only benefits.

By enrolling in either plan, you expressly authorize Aligned Designs LLC to initiate and continue recurring charges via your designated payment method unless and until such time that you cancel in accordance with Section 1.5 herein.

1.2 Automatic Renewal Terms.
All memberships renew automatically at the conclusion of each billing cycle (monthly or annually), and you authorize us to charge the applicable fee unless you proactively cancel your subscription prior to the renewal date. Your failure to cancel shall constitute your agreement to continue the subscription and associated charges.

You acknowledge that we are under no obligation to notify you of upcoming renewals, and it is your sole responsibility to manage your billing preferences and subscription status.

1.3 Founders Rate Lock & Promotional Pricing.
If you enroll during a limited-time “Founders Pricing” or other promotional offer, you may retain that rate only so long as your subscription remains active and uninterrupted. If you cancel, pause, or allow your billing to lapse and subsequently re-enroll, you forfeit your previous rate and will be subject to then-current pricing.

You further acknowledge that promotional pricing is subject to specific terms and may expire, increase, or be altered at the Company’s discretion.

1.4 Non-Transferability of Membership.
Memberships are granted on a per-individual basis and may not be shared, transferred, sold, licensed, or reassigned to any other person or entity. Unauthorized sharing of login credentials, access links, or content will result in immediate termination without refund and may result in legal action.

1.5 Cancellation Policy.

• Monthly Subscribers: You may cancel your monthly membership at any time through your account dashboard. Cancellation will take effect at the end of your current billing cycle. You will not be refunded for any partial month.
• Annual Subscribers: Annual memberships are prepaid and non-cancellable, non-refundable, and non-transferable during the 12-month term. Early termination does not entitle you to a prorated refund or credit.

You are responsible for managing your own subscription. Failure to cancel before your renewal date will result in continued access and charges, which you hereby authorize.

1.6 Suspension or Termination by the Company.
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to suspend, restrict, or permanently terminate your membership or platform access without refund if:

• You violate any provision of these Terms;
• You engage in disruptive, abusive, unethical, or illegal behavior within the community;
• You attempt to resell, redistribute, or misuse Studio content;
• You breach community guidelines or harass other members;
• You initiate a chargeback or payment dispute.

Upon termination for cause, your right to access The Studio will cease immediately. No portion of any fees previously paid shall be refunded.

1.7 Modification of Services and Access.
We reserve the right to add, modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of The Studio at any time, including but not limited to the structure, pricing, content rotation, feature availability, platform design, or third-party integrations. Such changes may be made without prior notice and shall not constitute grounds for termination or refund.

1.8 No Guarantee of Availability.
You acknowledge that platform access may be subject to occasional service interruptions, updates, or maintenance. The Company shall not be held liable for any unavailability or loss of access due to technical issues, third-party outages, or force majeure events.

1.9 Payment Processing.
All payments are processed through secure third-party processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal), and you agree to abide by their terms of service. You affirm that the payment method on file is authorized and will remain current. Failure to maintain valid payment information may result in immediate suspension of services and access.

2. REFUND, RETURN, AND CANCELLATION POLICY

2.1 All Sales Are Final.
By purchasing any digital product, subscription membership, downloadable content, template, toolkit, course, masterclass, webinar, or other offering made available through The Studio by Aligned Designs LLC (hereinafter referred to as “The Studio”), you acknowledge and affirm that all sales are final, non-cancellable, and non-refundable, under any circumstance, without exception.

2.2 No Refunds for Digital Goods.
Given the immediate access and irrevocable nature of digital content delivery, and pursuant to prevailing e-commerce regulations and best practices, the Company does not offer refunds or credits for:

• Perceived dissatisfaction with results or outcomes.

2.3 No Refunds Based on Outcome.
You expressly acknowledge that results vary by individual and are dependent upon your own implementation, personal effort, and consistency. Lack of perceived value, usage, success, income generation, or satisfaction shall not constitute a valid reason for a refund. You agree that subjective interpretation of quality or outcomes does not entitle you to any reimbursement, credit, or dispute.

2.4 No Proration or Partial Credits.
No proration, partial refunds, or “pause and resume” accommodations will be made for unused periods of service, regardless of frequency or consistency of use. This applies equally to monthly and annual membership holders.

2.5 Cancellations Must Be Proactive.
If you wish to terminate a recurring monthly subscription, you must cancel via your user portal at least 48 hours prior to the next scheduled billing date. Failure to cancel in time will result in the automatic renewal of your membership, and you hereby authorize the Company to process the payment accordingly.

2.6 Annual Plan Non-Cancellable.
By purchasing the annual membership, you agree to a one-time, upfront charge granting access for a fixed term of 12 months. No mid-term cancellations or prorated refunds will be granted, regardless of member activity or changes in usage preferences. You understand and agree that this constitutes a firm commitment to a full term of service.

2.7 Chargebacks and Disputes.
Any attempt to dispute a valid charge, initiate a chargeback, or otherwise reverse payment through your financial institution constitutes a breach of these Terms. In such cases, we reserve the right to:

• Immediately revoke all access to The Studio and related products;
• Pursue legal action or collection services for the original amount, including interest, legal fees, and administrative penalties;
• Report fraudulent chargebacks to relevant authorities or business credit bureaus.

2.8 No Transfers or Substitutions.
Purchases are non-transferable. Access is granted solely to the original purchaser and may not be gifted, reassigned, or substituted to any other party without express written consent of the Company.

2.9 Platform Interruptions and Scheduled Downtime.
You acknowledge that occasional interruptions may occur for maintenance, upgrades, or third-party service issues. Such interruptions do not entitle you to any refund, partial credit, or extension of term.

2.10 Promotional Offers and Founders Pricing.
If you cancel your subscription and attempt to rejoin after pricing has increased, you will not be eligible for your previous rate or special promotional pricing. Founders pricing is void upon cancellation and cannot be reinstated under any circumstances.

4.1 Limited-Time Access to Digital Content.
The digital materials provided within The Studio by Aligned Designs LLC (hereinafter “The Studio”) are made available on a time-sensitive, rotating basis. Unless otherwise noted, the majority of content—including but not limited to assets located in The Vault, The Workshop, The Coach’s Suite, and The Penthouse—is available for a period of approximately sixty (60) to ninety (90) calendar days following its release.

After this window, content is subject to retirement, removal, or relocation at the sole discretion of the Company. Retired content may be permanently deleted or transferred into The Archive, which is a restricted-access feature available only to active Annual Members.

4.2 No Guarantee of Continued Availability.
You acknowledge and agree that access to specific content, modules, tools, or materials is not guaranteed for any fixed duration, unless expressly stated in writing. The Studio may add, update, remove, modify, or archive any content, at any time and for any reason, with or without prior notice. This includes, but is not limited to:

You hereby waive any right to claim damages, refunds, prorated credits, or continued access based on such modifications or content removals.

4.3 Content Rotation for Platform Optimization.
Content within The Studio is intentionally rotated to maintain platform integrity, reduce digital clutter, enhance discoverability, and deliver fresh, relevant resources. This is a key component of our creative delivery model and shall not be construed as a defect, reduction of value, or bait-and-switch practice.

You understand and agree that The Studio is a living platform, and content access is dynamic and curated to evolve with digital trends, industry needs, and member feedback.

4.4 No Download Rights or Offline Access Guarantee.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, membership does not include the right to permanently download or retain any content for offline or future use. Temporary access to files, templates, videos, or tools is granted solely through the member dashboard during your active subscription and in accordance with all other Terms herein.

Attempts to mass-download, extract, or scrape Studio content may result in immediate suspension or permanent termination of access, without refund, and subject to legal recourse.

Access to The Archive, a curated repository of previously retired content, is a bonus feature exclusive to active Annual Members. This access is granted as a courtesy and may be changed, limited, or discontinued at any time.

4.6 Content Subject to Removal for Legal or Compliance Reasons.
From time to time, the Company may need to remove or alter content due to evolving legal, compliance, intellectual property, or third-party platform requirements. In such events, we will act in good faith but retain sole discretion. You agree that this does not constitute a breach of contract, nor does it entitle you to any refund or adjustment.

4.7 No Content Ownership Rights Conveyed.
Membership grants a limited license to temporarily access and utilize Studio content during your active subscription period. It does not constitute a transfer of ownership, rights, or entitlement to perpetually retain, reuse, or rely on any individual content item for personal or commercial use outside the scope of these Terms. Previously posted content may remain live, but members may not create with, use, or distribute new content using Studio materials after cancellation.
