​The following Terms and Conditions are entered into by and between You (“Client” or “you”) and Iona Pathways, LLC dba Lead Bee Leadership Development (“Company”, “we”, or “us”). 
  1. The Program - The Company agrees to provide you with access to the group membership program entitled, “Bee Guided Group” (“Program”). As a condition of participating in the Program, you agree to be bound by and to abide by all policies and procedures set out in this Agreement, including those incorporated by reference.

  2. Terms Of Use, Privacy Policy & Disclaimer - The Company’s Terms of Use, Privacy Policy and Disclaimer are hereby incorporated by reference into this agreement. Except as modified by this Agreement, each of those agreements and policies shall apply fully to your participation in the Program. In the event of a conflict between any of those policies and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern.

  3. Nature Of The Relationship - Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship. The Company is agreeing only to provide the Client with access to the Program, which provides education and information. The information contained in the Program, including any interactions with the facilitator/s, is not intended as, and shall not be understood or construed as, professional advice.

  4. Fees - In consideration of your access to the Program, you may choose between a single payment as outlined on the checkout page (due immediately) or a split-payment of 2 (two) payments as outlined on the checkout page. If you select the split-payment, you must make the first payment today, and then your selected payment method will be automatically charged for 1 (one) future payment six (6) months after your first payment, for a total as outlined on the checkout page. If you opt for the split-payment, you will remain responsible for the future payment. You may not cancel or avoid this payment. In the event that any payment is not made, the Company shall immediately suspend your access to the Program. 

    From time to time, the Program will go on sale. These terms apply to all future sale prices.

  5. Split-Payment Option Authorization - If you elect the split-payment, you hereby authorize the Company to charge your credit card or debit card automatically according to the terms set forth in the Fees section above.

  6. No Refunds - All sales are final, and the Company does not offer any money-back guarantees. You recognize and agree that you shall not be entitled to a refund for any purchase under any circumstances.

  7. The Program - Within the framework of the Program, participants are expected to partake in a series of eight (8) group sessions, which are facilitated by the Company. In some instances, the Company may serve as a coach during these session. The Client agrees to fully engage in the group coaching process. These sessions will encompass diverse topics, as determined by the group members. It is anticipated that these sessions will take place monthly, consistently on the same day and time, with the exception of four (4) one-month breaks per year. The specific timing of these breaks will be decided based on group consensus. The length of each session will be contingent upon the group's size. For groups with up to six (6) members, sessions will be approximately 1.5 hours long, and for groups with more than six (6) members, sessions will extend to approximately 2 hours. The Company shall provide you with details about how to participate in these group sessions. The login details (for example, to access Zoom where the Program’s sessions will most likely be hosted) are unique to this person and cannot be shared with others.

    From time to time, an individual call may be canceled based upon the availability of the facilitator/s. In such instances, the Company will promptly inform you of any alterations to the schedule as soon as this information becomes available.

    Should you not be able to participate in a session, please let the facilitator/s and your fellow group members know well in advance. If you cannot attend one or more group session/s, you shall forfeit that session/s.

    In the event that a majority of the group members, constituting over fifty percent (50%), are unable to attend a scheduled group session with at least one (1) week's prior notice, we shall endeavor to arrange an alternative session at a time that is more suitable for the majority.

    You can find all the included Program's components outlined on the checkout page at the time of sign-up.

    Important Note:
    A group size ranging from 4 (four) to 10 (ten) members works best. Although we prefer groups to be formed with dedicated members before registration, we understand that this isn't always possible and support you in joining one of our existing or new groups. Group activities will commence only after all members have registered that’s why waiting times may apply between sign-up and program start. We recognize that situations can change, leading us, at our own discretion, to adjust the set-up of certain groups. If such changes are necessary, we'll work with the groups to find the best solution. Please note that any changes do not qualify for a refund of any portion of the fees.

  8. Term Of The Program & Early Cancellation - The Program shall begin in the month of your first group session and continue for a period of twelve (12) months (your “Program Termination Date”). Unless otherwise noted in the description of “The Program” clause, the Company’s responsibilities to you shall cease after your Program Termination Date.

    You may cancel your membership before the Program Termination Date at any time by emailing contact@leadbeeleadership.com.

    If you cancel your membership early, that shall immediately terminate any and all licenses granted you to use the material provided to you under this Agreement and the Company’s Terms of Use. You shall immediately cease using the material and shall destroy all copies of the information provided to you, including, without limitation: video recordings, audio recordings, forms, template documents, slide shows, membership areas, social media groups limited to paying members, and other resources.

    WHAT’S NOT OKAY:
    // Hate Language: We are an inclusive community and we celebrate and support all expressions of humanhood. Hate language and personal attacks will not be tolerated and will result in removal from the community.

    // Misuse of the Program Materials: All resources provided within the Program are for your personal use only; they are not to be shared with others.

  13. Personal Responsibility - By participating in the Program, you accept personal responsibility for the results of your actions. You agree that the Company has not made any guarantees about the results of taking any action, whether recommended in the Program or not.

You nevertheless recognize that your ultimate success or failure will be the result of your own efforts, your particular situation, and innumerable other circumstances beyond the control and/or knowledge of the Company.

    You also recognize that prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

You agree to use judgment and conduct due diligence before taking any actions or implementing any plans or policy suggested or recommended in the Program.

  14. No Warranties - The Company makes no warranties regarding the performance or operation of the Program, including any technological aspects of the program.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, all such information, software, products, services, and related graphics are provided “as is” without warranty or condition of any kind. The Company and/or its suppliers hereby disclaim all warranties and conditions with regard to this information, software, products, services, and related graphics, including all implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

    To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the Company and/or its suppliers be liable for any direct, indirect, punitive, incidental, special, consequential damages or any damages whatsoever including, without limitation, damages for loss of use, data, or profits arising out of or in any way connected with the use or performance of the Program, with the delay or inability to use the Program or related service, the provision of or failure to provide services, or for any information, software, products, services, and related graphics obtained through the Program, or otherwise arising out of the use of the Program, whether based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise, even if the Company or any of its suppliers has been advised of the possibility of damages. Because some States or other jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitations may not apply to you.

  16. Arbitration - You hereby expressly waive any and all claims you may have, now or in the future, arising out of or relating to the Program.

    To the extent that you attempt to assert any such claim, you hereby expressly agree to present such claim only through binding arbitration to occur in Charleston, South Carolina, under the rules of the American Arbitration Association.

To the fullest extent permissible by law, you further agree that you shall be responsible for all costs associated with initiating the arbitration and for the administration of the arbitration.

  17.

  19. Entire Agreement - This Agreement, along with the Company’s Terms of Use, Privacy Policy and Disclaimer, constitutes the entire agreement between you and the Company with respect to the Program, and it supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral, or written, between you and the Company with respect to the Program.

  22. Force Majeure - The Company shall not be liable or responsible to you, nor be deemed to have defaulted or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Company including, without limitation, acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, governmental actions, war, invasion, or hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot, or other civil unrest, national emergency, revolution, insurrection, epidemic, lock-outs, strikes or other labor disputes (whether or not relating to either party's workforce), or restraints or delays affecting carriers or inability or delay in obtaining supplies of adequate or suitable materials, materials or telecommunication breakdown or power outage.
