JIGSAW COLLECTIVE INC.
This Agreement is made between Jigsaw Collective Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and You, the undersigned (“You” or “Participant” or “Participant”). You have retained the Company for coaching and educational services (“Services” or “Scope of Services”). The details and benefits of the Services are incorporated herein by reference as the Scope of Services, attached to this Agreement. By signing where indicated below, you irrevocably agree that this Participant Agreement (the “Agreement”) automatically becomes a binding contract between you and the Company and applies to your participation in the program outlined in the attached Scope of Services (the “Program”).
By checking the box to acknowledge this Agreement, and by accessing the Program website or materials, you are acknowledging that you have read, agree to and accept all of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. We may amend this Agreement at any time by sending you a revised version at the address you provided.
Delivery of Services: The Program services are outlined on the Program website www.jigsawcollectiveinc.com as of the date of this Agreement, and will be provided by the Company, as well as its team, staff, contractors and/or vendors when appropriate or necessary in the Company’s sole discretion.
Technology Disclaimers: For any part of the Program accessed by You via the Company’s website(s), email, or social media sites, You agree to abide by all applicable website and social media policies when accessing the Program materials, including but not limited to any applicable Terms of Use, which are fully incorporated herein by reference. Terms of Use are found in the footer links of the Company’s websites or social media sites, and can change from time to time in the sole discretion of the Company. Any changes will be automatically incorporated herein as was the previous version of those Terms.
Fees: In consideration of Your access to the Program, you agree to pay a single payment of $499 (due upon acceptance into the Program). You may not cancel or avoid these payments. Please see our Refund Policy. In the event that any payment is not made, the Company shall immediately suspend your access to the Program with no recourse and no refunds offered, and you will still be liable to the company for payment of entire program fees in full. Once paid in full, your access to the program will be restored, unless you have violated other terms of this Agreement. Fees automatically renew annually, on the anniversary of the date of execution of this agreement. If you want to cancel before the next renewal, please email us at memberships@jigsawcollectiveinc.com. Cancellations received after the renewal date will not entitle you to a refund of the renewal fees, which are non-refundable once charged.
The prices displayed on the Site are quoted in U.S. dollars and are valid and effective only in the United States. For purchases made outside of the U.S., your pricing might vary or be subject to import/export taxes or duties, for which you are fully and solely responsible.
Methods of Payment: We accept all major credit cards via our processor, Stripe. Orders are processed only after a billing address, or other billing information, has been verified.
If You elect for any applicable payment plan (which will be outlined as an option before you sign up), 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.
Regarding recurring payments and outstanding invoices: If all eligible payment methods we have on file for you are declined for payment of your annual fee, you must provide a new eligible payment method promptly or your program access will be removed. Where applicable, separate charges for shipping and handling may apply. If there are separate charges, such charges will be shown on your order form. If the Company determines your purchase is subject to sales or other tax, a separate charge for taxes will be shown on your order form.
Reversed charges or returned checks are considered a breach of this Agreement and for any returned check, you will be charged a $45 Reverse charge or Returned Check Fee. Furthermore, you agree that you are responsible for full payment of fees for the entire 12-month course of the Program, regardless of whether you attend or complete the Program. You agree that you are responsible for the full payment of fees even if your access to or participation in the Program is terminated by the Company under this Agreement. Failure to pay on time, including a returned check, constitutes a breach of this Agreement, at which time full payment becomes due immediately and the Company will, without recourse, have the right to immediately cut off your access to the Program and its materials, and will cease delivering any services under this Agreement until your account is paid in full, including late fees. The Company reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at any time in our sole discretion
Refunds: Because of the digital nature of our products and services, we do not offer refunds of any kind. Payments made are not refundable for any reason. Partial payments are not refundable, even if you fail to complete your remaining payments and lose access to our program website and materials. No refunds are given even if you do not actually participate in or complete the program. Upon execution of this Agreement, Participant shall be responsible for the full extent of the Fee. There are no cancellations or refunds of any kind for any reason under any conditions. No refunds will be issued under any circumstances and all payments must be paid on a timely basis.
Chargebacks & Payment Security: To the extent that Participant provides the Company with credit card(s) information for payment on Participant’s account, the Company shall be authorized to charge Participant’s credit card(s) or accounts for any unpaid balances on the dates set forth in this Agreement. If the Participant uses a multiple-payment plan to make payments to the Company, the Company shall be authorized to make all charges at the time they are due and not require separate authorization in order to do so. Participant shall not make any charge backs to the Company’s account, file any payment claims with PayPal or other payment processor, or cancel the payments or the credit card that is provided as security without the Company’s prior written consent.
In the event a Participant’s credit card number or payment account becomes invalid for any reason (due to loss, theft, cancellation of credit, change of credit card number, renewal of credit card, etc.), Participant is hereby obligated under this Agreement to provide updated credit card or payment account information within 5 business days of the change. Failure to do so is a material breach of this Agreement.
Participant is responsible for any costs and fees associated with recouping payment on payment claims, charge backs or any collection fees associated herewith, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. Participant shall not change any of the payment account or credit card information provided to the Company without notifying the Company in writing in advance.
Course Rules/Policies: To the extent that Participant interacts with the Company staff and/or other Program Participants or clients, Participant agrees to, at all times, behave professionally, courteously, and respectfully with staff and clients. Participant agrees to abide by any Course Rules/Policies presented by the Company. The failure to abide by the course rules or policies shall be cause for immediate termination of this Agreement, with no refund of fees paid or release from remaining payment obligations under this Agreement.

Breach and Remedies: Failure to comply with any or all of the terms contained in this Agreement are considered breach of this Agreement, and are grounds for immediate dismissal from the Program.

Failure to pay the fee in full is a breach of this Agreement. In the event any Participant uses without authorization the intellectual property of others — including but not limited to other Participants or the Company, such use creates a risk of irreparable harm and is a breach of this Agreement and entitles the affected party (e.g. the Company and its representatives, agents, shareholders and/or owners) to an immediate injunction to prevent further irreparable harm and mis-use of that other’s intellectual property. The Company will also be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and costs involved in having to seek legal action to prevent or address any infringement or breach by any Participant.
