Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy

These terms and conditions (the "Agreement" or "Terms") govern participation in Lisa Shaughnessy's, ("Company", "Us", or "We") Workshops, Courses, 1:1 Strategy Services, Online Business Management Services, as well as other products and offerings that may be included ("Offering" or "Offerings").

By purchasing any Offering on lisashaughnessy.biz ("Site") or through one of our checkout links, you agree to these Terms, which form a legally binding contract between you and Company.

IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS, PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE, REGISTER OR PARTICIPATE IN THE OFFERINGS. THESE TERMS ARE EFFECTIVE AS OF 5/1/2025 (the "Effective Date"). 

1. Offerings

Purchase Confirmation. You will receive a confirmation email ("Confirmation") per purchase. Please ensure that a valid email address is entered correctly on the checkout form as this is the only way you will receive Confirmation and be allotted access to the Offering. In addition to receiving your Confirmation and other information about the Offering, you will also be added to our email list for notifications of future products and services and other Company news.

If you would like to opt-out of the email list, a link is provided in each email to provide the ability to opt-out.

When you purchase an Offering, you will gain lifetime access to all text, audio, and video material as described on the corresponding sales page.

For the purposes of these Terms, lifetime access means as long as the Offering material you purchased has not been deleted.

No Guarantee. You understand and acknowledge that we cannot promise or guarantee any specific results from any Offerings.

Modifications/Discontinuation. We reserve the sole and exclusive right to either modify or discontinue the Offerings and any applicable sales and discounts on such Offerings at any time, with or without notice to you. We will not be liable to you or any third party should we exercise such right.

Payment. If you choose to purchase an Offering, you agree to pay all fees regardless of payment structure. For example, some Offerings may require a one-time payment in full or may be available at a lower month-to-month payment rate until it is paid in full.

Due to the nature of the Offerings, it is the general policy of Company that all sales are final. Any purchases made for an Offering subject to an outside agreement will be subject to the terms of that agreement.

We do not directly process credit or debit cards or take other payment processing information. Payment processing is handled through third-party services, such as PayPal and Stripe. In the event you sign up for an Offering that incurs recurring charges (such as a month-to-month payment plan or subscription), such charges will be automatically charged on the same date of each month. If for any reason, your payment does not process or is declined, you agree that we may, at our option, suspend or terminate performance and delivery of Offerings and may require you to pay any overdue amounts incurred (including any third-party chargeback fees or penalties) by other means acceptable to us. In the event legal action is necessary to collect on balances due, you agree to reimburse us for all expenses incurred to recover sums due, including attorney fees and other legal expenses.

2. Prohibited Conduct

Limitations on Use. By purchasing an Offering you agree not to sell, trade, transfer, or share your access link and/or code with anyone, unless such transfer is granted by us. By purchasing or using any Offering and its material, you agree that except for a single copy made for personal use, you may not copy, reproduce, modify, republish, upload, post, transmit, or distribute any content in any form or by any means whatsoever, as further detailed in the Intellectual Property provisions of this Agreement. If we determine that you have violated these policies, we may cancel your access to the Offering, retain any payments made by you, report you to law enforcement authorities, and ban you from future purchases.

Disruptive Conduct. You acknowledge and agree that we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to remove you from any live Offering if we determine that your participation or behavior creates a disruption or hinders the Offering or the enjoyment of the other attendees.

Recording, Live Streaming, and Videotaping. You may not record or broadcast any audio or video sessions of an Offering.

If you participate in a live online workshop, webinar, course, panel or other live offering, they will be recorded for replay access to participants of the Offering as well as anyone who purchases a replay.

If you do not wish to have your face on camera, please turn the camera setting off on your device before the recording starts.

3. Cancellation

Cancellations of any kind are subject to the entire Offering Purchase Fee if any. All sales are final. No payments will be refunded or are refundable. In no event shall we be obligated to refund all or a portion of the Purchase Fee. If we are prevented from carrying out our obligations as it pertains to the Offering as a result of any cause beyond our control, or the Offering cannot be virtually conducted because of a software or issue with the hosting platform or due to acts of God, strikes, labor disputes, government requisitions, restrictions or war or apparent act of war, terrorism, disaster, civil disorder, epidemic or pandemic, curtailment or restriction on transportation facilities, or any other comparable calamity, casualty or condition (collectively a "Force Majeure") we shall have the right to immediately terminate the Offering without liability and shall be relieved of our obligations. If the Offering is terminated due to a Force Majeure occurrence before the first day of the Offering, then we will reschedule the Offering and your Purchase Fee will be applied to the rescheduled event.

4. Intellectual Property

For purposes of these Terms, "Content" is defined as any information, communications, software, published works, photos, video, graphics, music, sounds, or other material that can be viewed or accessed by you. By accepting these Terms, you agree that all Content presented to you in connection with the Offering are owned by Company, or the Offering speakers. You may not use or reproduce or allow anyone to use or reproduce any trademarks or other trade names appearing at the Offering, in any Offering content or in any materials distributed at or in connection with the Offering for any reason without the prior written permission of Company. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in you any legal or beneficial right in or to any trademarks or other intellectual property rights owned or used under license by Company or any of its affiliates; nor does this Agreement grant to you any right or license to any other intellectual property rights of Company or its affiliates, all of which shall at all times remain the exclusive property of Company and its affiliates.
