1. Description of Service

A. Cortex Evolution includes a virtual coaching service, self-improvement resources, and a social support network (the “Strive Hive”) for people who want to make positive changes to their lives. Strive Hive users can be algorithmically paired with other users as partners and/or small groups (collectively, “Partners”), at which time their basic information is shared with each other, including names, email addresses, time zones, desired Partnership activities, and what sort of skills or attributes they wish to improve. If both users accept, they become Partners, after which they may also wish to share phone numbers and video chat information with each other.

B. Cortex Evolution reserves the right to modify or discontinue the Services or any feature or functionality thereof at any time without notice to you and without any liability to you. All rights, title and interest in and to the Services and its components (including all intellectual property rights) will remain with and belong exclusively to Cortex Evolution. Any modifications and new features added to the Service are also subject to this Agreement.

2. Eligibility for Our Services

By using our Services, you represent and warrant that you have attained the age of majority where you reside (18 years of age in most jurisdictions) and are otherwise capable of entering into binding contracts including this Agreement. If you enter a birth date or other indication that you are not old enough to own a Cortex Evolution account, your account may be disabled. Persons who are at least 13 years of age (or 16 years of age in the European Union “EU”) but under the age of majority may only use our coaching services, not our Strive Hive services, and only after receiving legal parental or guardian consent from someone fully able and competent to enter into the terms, conditions, representations and warranties set forth in the Terms. Furthermore, if you join the Strive Hive, you represent and warrant that you have never been convicted of a felony, and that you are not required to register as a sex offender with any government entity. If you are using our Services on behalf of a company or other organization, you also represent and warrant that you have authority to act on behalf of that entity and to bind that entity to this Agreement.

3. Purchases and Payments

Company bills you through an online billing account for purchases of products and/or services. You agree to pay Company all charges at the prices then in effect for the products you or other persons using your billing account may purchase, and you authorize Company to charge your chosen payment provider for any such purchases. You agree to make payment using that selected payment method. If you have ordered a product or service that is subject to recurring charges then you consent to our charging your payment method on a recurring basis, without requiring your prior approval from you for each recurring charge until such time as you cancel the applicable product or service. Company reserves the right to correct any errors or mistakes in pricing that it makes even if it has already requested or received payment. Sales tax will be added to the sales price of purchases as deemed required by Company. Company may change prices at any time. All payments shall be in U.S. dollars. 

4. Money-Back Guarantee & Installment Plan

A. Buyers of non-downloadable digital goods such as online courses or books are entitled to a 30-day, 100% money-back guarantee. Our coaching packages may be eligible for partial refunds requested within 30 days of purchase; the refunded amount shall be limited to only the proportion of coaching minutes that have not yet been redeemed. All other services, such as downloadable digital goods, individual coaching calls, subscriptions, coached courses, hybrid synchronous/asynchronous programs, or group memberships, are generally ineligible for refunds under any circumstances. If for any reason whatsoever you decide you would like a refund for a non-downloadable digital good or coaching package purchased within the last 30 days, you may email us at [email protected] and Cortex Evolution will offer you a full refund or partial refund, respectively. Should you choose to request a refund, you will be removed from any courses or programs, and will no longer have access to any of the materials contained within. Cortex Evolution will not pay interest on any amounts held. 

B. Should you be currently enrolled in an ongoing installment plan at the time you request a refund, your future payments may be canceled, resulting in revoked access to our Services and materials. Failure to complete each one of the predetermined amounts of payments in the installment plan on schedule will result in revoked access to the entirety of the course materials. After the initial 30-day money-back guarantee window, all installment plan payments are final and non-refundable. No exceptions will be made.

We provide this policy pursuant to Section 512 of the Copyright Revision Act, as enacted through the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”).

If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by Company infringe your copyright, you, or your agent may send to Company a notice requesting that the material be removed or access to it be blocked. Any notification by a copyright owner or a person authorized to act on its behalf that fails to comply with requirements of the DMCA shall not be considered sufficient notice and shall not be deemed to confer upon Company actual knowledge of facts or circumstances from which infringing material or acts are evident. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send to Company a counter-notice. All notices and counter notices must meet the then current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.loc.gov/copyright for details. 

C. Federal law provides that if you knowingly misrepresent that online material is infringing, you may be subject to criminal prosecution for perjury and civil penalties, including monetary damages, court costs, and attorneys’ fees.
