Through the Program, the Company might provide guidance regarding business decisions, but it is ultimately the responsibility of the Client (and only the Client) to make the final decision for themselves. By using Company’s services and purchasing this Program, Client accepts any and all risks, foreseeable or unforeseeable, arising from such a transaction. Client agrees that Company will not be held liable for any damages of any kind resulting or arising from the use or misuse of the Program. Client agrees that use of this Product is at user’s own risk.

Client hereby acknowledges that Client is solely responsible for the amount and type of income that Client generates by implementing techniques and advice provided by Program. Client also acknowledges that the Company cannot and does not guarantee that implementation of the Program will provide Client with a lucrative business. Client also agrees that Client is solely responsible for any decision Client makes and indemnifies Company from any liability regarding said decision. 

Ultimately, we will not be responsible or make any promises for what will happen in your life and business. Even if you’ve worked with us as a client before and achieved certain results, we make no guarantee that they will happen again. We cannot be any more clear about this: We are here for you and want you to succeed, but we make no promises regarding results and make no guarantees whatsoever.

Scope of Services. The Company is not an employee, manager, lawyer, accountant, psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, accountant, public relations manager, social media manager, doctor, counselor, business operations manager, financial analyst, business executive, or another agent of Client’s business. Client understands that the Program is created to help Client learn new skills and assist Client with finding their own direction. The Program may offer guidance regarding business decisions, but it is the responsibility of the Client to make the final decision and choose the best option for themselves.

The client hereby acknowledges that business and mindset coachings are subjective services and the Company’s methods to provide said services may change in terms of style, technique, and content. Company and/or Owner may use its own judgment to provide the Program services to Client, even if these methods do not follow strict adherence to Client’s suggestions, per the nature of said services.

Communication with Third-Parties. From time to time, this Program may include community aspects, such as courtesy access to a Student-only Facebook group. Company shall not be held liable, either directly or indirectly, for Client’s communication with any other student or third-party that may or may not be part of the Program. For instance, as part of the Program, the Company may encourage students to broaden their marketing message by collaborating with other third-parties. These are mere suggestions and it is important to note that creating relationships and communicating with third-parties is the sole responsibility and at the sole discretion of the Client. Company is not liable for the actions of those third-parties, nor is Company to be held responsible for any communications, conflicts, or damages that occur through Client’s communication and/or collaboration with a third party. While Company will take reasonable measures to ensure there are no injurious communications inside the Program community, it is the responsibility of all students to act with their own volition and discretion when communicating with others.

Delivery of Program. This Program may be distributed by Company either directly or through a third-party platform. Company reserves the right to substitute services equal to or comparable to the value of Program if reasonably required by the prevailing circumstances as determined by Company. Access to this Program is currently directly from www.lilithwecker.com. Company is not liable for any limitation of access to the

Certifications and/or Other Requirements. As part of this Program, Company encourages individuals and/or business owners to enter into the online education space for topics they are reasonably qualified to teach on or assist with, or to otherwise provide services they are skilled to provide. Due to the educational and informational nature of this Program, the volume of students that enter into the Program, and the international scope of the Program’s availability on the internet, it is not the responsibility of the Company to determine whether a Client or third-party (ie. another student) is qualified to offer the services they present. It is the sole responsibility of the Client and all other students inside the Program to determine whether they need any qualifications, certificates, registrations, degrees, diplomas, or other requirements to carry out the services that they purport to offer during or after completing the Program. This is a material part of this Agreement as it is categorically impossible for Company to monitor all students’ past, present and future behaviors, as well as international and local laws, regulations, and other requirements to ensure that a student’s actions (including Client’s) are lawful.

Zero Tolerance. The company employs a Zero Tolerance policy inside the Program as it pertains to harassment of Company representatives and/or other students inside the Program. “Harassment” shall include, but is not limited to, abusive language (ie. excessive cursing, threatening language, name-calling), the volume of messages (ie. demanding responses or sending back-to-back messages without awaiting a reasonable time to allow a response), unwanted communications (ie. with other students through private channels or DMs), hate speech, intimidation, racial slurs, mocking others, displaying disgust towards others, and more. If Client or any other student harasses a Company member or other student inside the Program, Company will give one (1) warning to Client or the student to modify their behavior. Thereafter, upon the second incident of Harassment, Company will immediately remove the Client or student from the Program and block-list them (ie. ban them from future Company offerings) with no money back. Whether or not a student is considered to harass another is at the sole interpretation of the Company and will be a decision made based on the facts and evidence at hand (ie. writings, emails, screenshots, etc.)
