4. Use of Interactive Components of Service The Service may contain communities, message boards, blogs, forums, chat rooms, and/or other interactive functions (collectively, “Forums”). The functionality of the Service may allow you to: (1) provide content (including, without limitation, text or photographs, video or other graphics), e-mail communications or other information that is to be posted on or through the Service (collectively, as provided by any user “Forum Information”); and (2) view and respond to Forum Information provided by other users of the Service. You acknowledge that (i) IMG does not necessarily pre-screen Forum Information; (ii) IMG does not endorse or adopt (and has not necessarily reviewed) any Forum Information nor assumes any responsibility for any material therein; and (iii) IMG shall have the right (but not the obligation) in its sole discretion to refuse or remove any Forum Information on the Service and to edit or delete any Objectionable material. If you believe that IMG has acted mistakenly with respect to certain Forum Information or other content, you may contact us at [info@sessionswithcesar.com], in which case we may investigate the matter further. We reserve the right, however, to take no further action.
You agree not to post any Forum Information that is Objectionable. In the event that you post or make accessible communications or other materials that we determine in our sole discretion are Objectionable, IMG shall terminate your access to the Service. If you believe that Forum Information remains on the Service that violates your rights, your sole remedy shall be against the person responsible for posting or storing it, not against us. If you believe that Forum Information remains on the Service that infringes your copyrights, you must follow the procedure set forth in Section 16 below.
In addition to the restrictions on disclosure of Personal Information as set forth in IMG’s Privacy Policy , IMG will not edit, delete or disclose the contents of your personally identifiable information submitted in connection with your Forum Information or your use of the Service unless: (1) you authorize IMG to do so; (2) you yourself disclose your identity or other personal information about yourself in a Forum or as part of Forum Information posted to an area of the Service accessible to other users; or (3) if IMG is required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform with applicable laws or comply with legal process served on IMG; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of IMG or another user; or (c) enforce these Terms. The foregoing notwithstanding, in the event you submit personally identifiable information as part of your use of a Forum, including without limitation, your email address, you understand and agree that all such personally identifiable information so submitted may be disclosed within the Forums to other users. Personally identifiable information submitted by you as part of your use of a Forum, is explicitly excluded from the IMG Privacy Policy.
By submitting any content or Forum Information to the Service, including message boards, forums, contests and chat rooms, you grant us and our contractors and affiliates a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, communicate to the public, perform and display (either publicly or by digital audio transmission) the content or Forum Information (in whole or in part) and/or to incorporate it in other works in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed, for the full term of any rights that may exist in such content, subject to our Privacy Policy with respect to your Personal Information (as defined in the Privacy Policy ). You also warrant that the holder of any rights in such content has completely and effectively waived all such rights and validly and irrevocably granted to you the right to grant the license stated above.
5. Payments
Certain subscription and other fee-based services (“Pay Services”) offered through the Service may require the user to pay to IMG fees for the Pay Services at the times and in the amounts specified on the Service (or on our authorized reseller websites). IMG bills you through an online account (your “Billing Account”) for Pay Services. You agree to pay IMG all charges at the prices then in effect for any Pay Services ordered by you or other persons (including your agents) using your Billing Account, and you authorize IMG to charge your payment method (your “Payment Method”) for such Pay Services. You agree to make payment using your selected Payment Method. If IMG does not receive payment from the provider of your Payment Method (the “Payment Method Provider”), you agree to pay all amounts due on your Billing Account upon demand. IMG reserves the right to limit the selection of, and changes to, your Payment Method Provider.
You must provide current, complete and accurate information for your Billing Account in order to receive the Pay Services ordered. You must promptly update all information to keep your Billing Account current, complete and accurate (such as a change in billing address, credit card number, or credit card expiration date), and you must promptly notify IMG if your payment method is canceled (for example, for loss or theft) or if you become aware of a potential breach of security, such as the unauthorized disclosure or use of your password. IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE IMG ANY OF THE FOREGOING INFORMATION, YOU AGREE THAT IMG MAY CONTINUE CHARGING YOU FOR ANY PAY SERVICE PROVIDED UNDER YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT, UNLESS YOU HAVE TERMINATED YOUR ACCOUNT FOR SUCH PAY SERVICE (CONFIRMED IN WRITING UPON REQUEST).
Prices for all Pay Services exclude all applicable taxes and telecommunication charges, unless expressly stated otherwise, excluding taxes based upon IMG’s net income. To the extent permissible by law, you agree to be responsible for any applicable taxes and telecommunication charges, whether or not such amounts are charged to your Billing Account or Payment Method.
IMG expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change the pricing of all Pay Services, from time to time. If you and IMG have agreed to a specific duration and price for your Pay Services, then any price change for that service will not apply to your continued use of Pay Services under that plan (provided that you do not change plans or otherwise interrupt your subscription) until the first day following the expiration of the specific term to which you and IMG have agreed. For example, if you have signed up for a plan at a particular monthly price for 12 months, then any subsequent price increase for that plan will not apply to you until either your 12-month subscription expires or you choose to terminate your plan before the conclusion of the 12-month period, whichever is earlier.
If the amount to be charged to your Billing Account varies from the amount you have preauthorized, whether as a result of your selection of a new plan, or a change in pricing of your current plan, you have the right to receive, and IMG will provide, notice of the amount to be charged and the date of the charge prior the scheduled date of the transaction. In the event the change in the amount to be charged is attributable to a change in the pricing of your existing plan and you do not agree to such change, then you must cancel your plan and stop using the Pay Services prior to the effective date of such change. Your continued use of the Pay Services after the effective date of such change constitutes your acceptance of and agreement to such change. Any agreement you have with the Payment Method Provider will govern your use of that Payment Method.
IMG MAY SUBMIT ALL PERIODIC CHARGES (FOR EXAMPLE, ANNUALLY IN ADVANCE) FOR YOUR PAY SERVICE, ON SUCH ANNUAL OR OTHER PERIODIC BASIS WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM YOU, UNTIL YOU PROVIDE PRIOR NOTICE (CONFIRMED IN WRITING UPON REQUEST) THAT YOU HAVE TERMINATED THIS AUTHORIZATION OR WISH TO CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD. SUCH NOTICE WILL NOT AFFECT CHARGES SUBMITTED BEFORE IMG REASONABLY COULD ACT.
Your continued use of the Pay Services on your Billing Account reaffirms that IMG is authorized to charge your Payment Method. IMG may submit those charges for payment and you will be responsible for such charges. Those submissions will not waive IMG’s right to seek payment directly from you.
REFUND POLICY: While we have no obligation to provide a refund, we will review the situation on a case-by-case basis taking into account the reason for the refund request, when you activated your account and how far you have progressed through the course.
In the event of a charge back by your Payment Method Provider or other non-payment by you in connection with your payment of the applicable Pay Service or renewal fee, you acknowledge and agree that the Pay Service for which such fee has not been paid may be suspended, canceled or terminated, in IMG's sole discretion. IMG will reinstate any such Pay Service solely at its discretion, and subject to our receipt of the applicable Pay Service or renewal fee.
6. Marks
Certain product, service, or company designations for companies other than IMG may be mentioned in the Service for identification purposes only. Such designations are often claimed as trademarks or service marks. In all instances where IMG is aware of a claim, the designation appears in initial capital or all capital letters. However, you should contact the appropriate companies for more complete information regarding such designations and their registration status.
7. Modifications To Terms
IMG may change these Terms from time to time. Your continued use of this Service following the posting of any changes to the Terms constitutes your acceptance of those changes. If you object to any provision of these Terms or any subsequent modifications to these Terms or become dissatisfied with the Service in any way, your only recourse is to immediately terminate use of the Service.
8. Termination of Service/Modifications To Service
IMG reserves the right to modify or terminate these Terms or your access to the Service (or portions of the Service), temporarily or permanently, with or without notice to you, and is not obligated to support or update the Service. Sections 1, and 3-18 of these Terms shall survive any termination of these Terms or your right to access to the Service. You acknowledge and agree that IMG will not be liable to you or any third party in the event that IMG exercises its right to modify or terminate access to the Service (or portions of the Service). Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service will be subject to these Terms.
9. Privacy; Passwords
IMG will treat any information it collects from you in accordance with its Privacy Policy. Certain areas of the Service may require a password, and may require the user to register and provide certain data to IMG, and with respect to purchases of IMG products via the Service, to IMG’s contractors. IMG may refuse to offer a password to any person and may change its criteria for access to the password-protected areas of the Service at any time, in its sole discretion. In consideration of use of these portions of the Service, you represent and warrant that, in registering and providing such data to IMG: (a) the information about yourself is true, accurate, current, and complete as required by various IMG registration forms ("Registration Information"); and (b) you will maintain and promptly update the Registration Information to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or IMG has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, IMG has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service. All Registration Information will be treated in accordance with IMG’s Privacy Policy. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your passwords, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your passwords, whether or not expressly authorized by you.
You must be at least 18 years old to be eligible to register for the Service.

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
14. Dispute Resolution
Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or your use of any Content or this Service or your access to or links to this Service, shall be resolved by arbitration before three neutral arbitrators administered by the American Arbitration Association in New York City, in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules, as then in effect. Except for punitive damages (which may not be awarded), any provisional or equitable remedy which would be available from a court of law shall be available from the arbitrators to parties. The award of the arbitrators may be enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Both parties hereby consent (a) to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal Courts located within New York City for any action (i) to compel arbitration, (ii) to enforce the award of the arbitrators or (iii) at any time prior to the qualification and appointment of the arbitrators, for temporary, interim or provisional equitable remedies and (b) to service of process in any such action by registered mail or any other means provided by law. Some jurisdictions may provide additional rights to consumers.
15. General
If any provision of these Terms is found by a court or arbitrator to be invalid, the parties agree that the court or arbitrator should give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms will remain in effect. IMG’s failure to act with respect to a breach by any person using the Service does not constitute a waiver of its right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to its choice of law provisions. In the event of any conflict between foreign laws, rules and regulations and those of the United States, the laws, rules and regulations of the United States will govern. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to these Terms. IMG may assign its rights and duties under these Terms without such assignment being considered a change to the Terms and without notice to you. You may not assign these Terms without the prior written consent of IMG. Nothing contained in these Terms will be deemed to constitute either party as the agent or representative of the other party, or both parties as joint venturers or partners for any purpose. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, any operating rules, policies, or procedures that may be posted from time to time by IMG on the Service, and any modifications to the foregoing, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with regard to the subject matter in these Terms and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, as to such subject matter.
