4. General Payment Terms
Certain features of the Service may require you to pay fees. Before you pay any fees, you will have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged. All fees are in U.S. Dollars and are non-refundable unless otherwise specifically provided for in these Terms. Leland or its third-party payment processor will bill installment payments for the Subscription Fee and, if you are a Client, the Coaching Fee (as such terms are defined below) to the payment method associated with your account or that you otherwise provide to us.
- 4.1Price. Other than the Coaching Fee, Leland reserves the right to determine pricing for the Service. Leland will make reasonable efforts to keep pricing information (other than the Coaching Fee) published on the Service up to date. Leland may change the fees for any feature of the Service, including additional fees or charges, if Leland gives you advance notice of changes before they apply. Leland, at its sole discretion, may make promotional offers with different features and different pricing to any of Leland’s customers.

- 4.3Leland Fee. We will be entitled to a certain percentage of the Coaching Fee paid by a Client to a Coach (“Leland Fee”), we will notify the Coach of such percentage prior to the Leland Fee being automatically deducted from the Client’s payment of such Coaching Fees and the remaining balance being remitted to the Coach. If you are a Coach, Coaches will not be entitled to any refund of the Leland Fee and the Leland Fee is non-refundable.
- 4.4Refunds. Please read our Refund Policy at www.joinleland.com/legal/refund-policy carefully for information relating to how we process and determine whether to provide refunds for the Services or the Coaching Fee. We may update our Refund Policy from time to time pursuant to the same procedure set forth below for modifying these Terms.
- 4.5Authorization. Each Client hereby authorize Leland to charge all sums for purchases of Coaching, including all applicable taxes, to the payment method specified in the Client’s account. If a Client pays any fees with a credit card, then Leland may seek pre-authorization of such credit card account prior to the Client’s purchase to verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credit available to cover the purchase.
- 4.6Subscription Service. The Service may include certain subscription-based plans with automatically recurring payments for periodic charges for Coaching or otherwise (“Subscription Service”). The “Subscription Billing Date” is the date when you first purchase a subscription to the Subscription Service. The Subscription Service will begin on the Subscription Billing Date and continue for the subscription period that you select on your account (such period, the “Initial Subscription Period”), and will automatically renew for successive periods of the same duration as the Initial Subscription Period (the Initial Subscription Period and each such renewal period, each a “Subscription Period”) unless you cancel the Subscription Service or we terminate it. If you activate a Subscription Service, then you authorize Leland or its third-party payment processors to regularly charge, on a going-forward basis and until cancellation of the Subscription Service, all accrued sums on or before the payment due date. For information on subscription fees (“Subscription Fee”), please see the Subscription Fee pricing information published on the Service. Your account will be charged automatically on the Subscription Billing Date and thereafter on the renewal date of your Subscription Service for all applicable fees and taxes for the next Subscription Period. If you are paying for pre-purchased Coaching amounts in installments, those amounts are not considered a Subscription Fee. You must cancel your Subscription Service at least 7 days before it renews in order to avoid billing of the next periodic Subscription Fee to your account. You may cancel the Subscription Service by cancelling the Subscription Service through the Service or by contacting us at support@joinleland.com. YOUR CANCELLATION MUST BE RECEIVED AT LEAST 7 DAYS BEFORE THE RENEWAL DATE IN ORDER TO AVOID CHARGE FOR THE NEXT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD.
- 4.7Delinquent Accounts. Leland may suspend or terminate access to the Service, including fee-based portions of the Service, for any account for which any amount is due but unpaid. In addition to the amount due for the Service or the Coaching Fees, a delinquent account will be charged with fees or charges that are incidental to any chargeback or collection of any the unpaid amount, including collection fees. If your payment method is no longer valid at the time a renewal Subscription Fee or any amounts due in connection with the Service are due, then Leland reserves the right to delete your account and any information or User Content (defined below) associated with your account without any liability to you.
- 4.8Failure to Complete Coaching; Forfeiture of Coaching Fee. Each Coaching engagement includes an expiration term. Within the Service, Coaches have the ability to, and are responsible for, designating an expiration term in accordance with our Refund Policy referred to above (and as may be updated by us from time to time), extending an expiration term (if requested and agreed to by the Coach), and marking a Coaching engagement complete. If a Coach fails to mark a Coaching engagement complete and the expiration term has been expired for six (6) months, the Coach forfeits the Coaching Fee.

17. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
- 17.1Generally. Except as described in Section 17.2 and 17.3, you and Leland agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms, the Service, or communications from us will be resolved through binding arbitration. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, is less formal than a court proceeding, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. Any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement will be resolved by the arbitrator.YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND Leland ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
- 17.2Exceptions. Although we are agreeing to arbitrate most disputes between us, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
- 17.3Opt-Out. If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this Section 17 within 30 days after the date that you agree to these Terms by sending a letter to Leland Inc., Attention: Legal Department — Arbitration Opt-Out, 2701 N Thanksgiving Way #100, Lehi, Utah 84043 that specifies: your full legal name, the email address associated with your account on the Service, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration (“Opt-Out Notice”). Once Leland receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Section 17 will be void and any action arising out of these Terms will be resolved as set forth in Section 18.2. The remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.
- 17.4Arbitrator. This arbitration agreement, and any arbitration between us, is subject the Federal Arbitration Act and will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at +1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Leland.
- 17.5Commencing Arbitration. Before initiating arbitration, a party must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). Leland’s address for Notice is: Leland Inc., 2701 N Thanksgiving Way #100, Lehi, Utah 84043. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) identify the name or account number of the party making the claim; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or Leland may commence an arbitration proceeding. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Leland will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US$10,000 or if the Company has received 25 or more similar demands for arbitration, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules and the other party may seek reimbursement for any fees paid to AAA.
- 17.6Arbitration Proceedings. Any arbitration hearing will take place in the county and state of your billing address unless we agree otherwise or, if the claim is for US$10,000 or less (and does not seek injunctive relief), you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a telephonic or video hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Leland must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based.
- 17.7Arbitration Relief. Except as provided in Section 17.8, the arbitrator can award any relief that would be available if the claims had been brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount offered by Leland before an arbitrator was selected, Leland will pay to you the higher of: (a) the amount awarded by the arbitrator and (b) US$10,000. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties, except (1) for judicial review expressly permitted by law or (2) if the arbitrator’s award includes an award of injunctive relief against a party, in which case that party shall have the right to seek judicial review of the injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction that shall not be bound by the arbitrator’s application or conclusions of law. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
- 17.8No Class Actions. YOU AND LELAND AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Leland agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
- 17.9Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If Leland makes any substantive change to this arbitration provision, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Leland’s address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with Leland will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.
- 17.10Enforceability. If Section 17.8 or the entirety of this Section 17 is found to be unenforceable, or if Leland receives an Opt-Out Notice from you, then the entirety of this Section 17 will be null and void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 18.2 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
