Billing, payments and refunds

You shall pay all fees or charges to your account in accordance with the fees, charges, and billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable. If auto-renewal is enabled for the Services you have subscribed for, you will be charged automatically in accordance with the term you selected. Sensitive and private data exchange happens over a SSL secured communication channel and is encrypted and protected with digital signatures, and our Website is also in compliance with PCI vulnerability standards in order to create as secure of an environment as possible for Users. Scans for malware are performed on a regular basis for additional security and protection. If, in our judgment, your purchase constitutes a high-risk transaction, we will require you to provide us with a copy of your valid government-issued photo identification, and possibly a copy of a recent bank statement for the credit or debit card used for the purchase. We reserve the right to change products and product pricing at any time. We also reserve the right to refuse any order you place with us. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household, or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card, and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. In the event that we make a change to or cancel an order, we may attempt to notify you by contacting the e-mail and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time the order was made. We reserve the right to terminate your account should you violate our community guidelines. All accounts terminated for community guidelines violation will not be issued a refund. Refunds will only be issued if your payment or renewal has not been more than 3 days old.

Account Termination

Every paying member agrees to commit to the platform for 90 days before membership termination. To allow for all members of the group to be reassigned members can not cancel their membership except if they are terminated from the group for violating community guidelines. All members who violate community guidelines will not be refunded. If a member would like to cancel after 90 days, they may send in a termination request 30 days prior to the date of termination to enable us to reassign the group. If members cannot stay on for 90 days due to personal, medical, or family issues, they can put in a request stating their reason for termination and will be charged for the month following their request to terminate.

The goals of our community are to

Help you stay committed to your self-improvement goals
Facilitate your connection to meeting others on similar journeys
Provide you with resources that complement your goals

To meet the collective goals of our community, it’s important that all members feel safe and supported. To help everyone have the best possible experience, please review our community guidelines:

Contact us directly with feedback at [hello@acclounge.org].

Fines and Personal Accountability

We understand that life happens and things don’t always go as planned. However, it is our duty to hold you accountable to the goals you are committing to and also make sure that every member of the community is treated with respect. To ensure that this happens,
1. You are allowed to miss ONLY ONE Accountability meeting a month, every missed meeting will result in you depositing into an “accountability jar”. At the end of each month, you and members of your group will decide what happens to the lounge dollars.
2. If you miss more than 3 meetings in a quarter, your access will be revoked with no refunds; to protect our members as this signals to us that you are not committed to your goals.
3. If you are unresponsive to your accountability partner(s), your access will be revoked with no refunds; to protect them, as this is unfair to your accountability partner and holds the group from moving forward.

Rules and Restrictions

Don’t share posts outside of the platform without permission
Don’t share personal or private information
Don’t post irrelevant messages
Don’t post promotional content
Do not post any religious or political content
Personal attacks, trolling and abuse will not be tolerated

Consequences

In the event of someone violating these guidelines, we will take action to protect other members of the group. This might include a warning or in the event of extreme or repeat behavior, the member may be banned from the community.
