PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE (“TERMS”) CAREFULLY.
WHEN YOU USE, ACCESS, OR PARTICIPATE IN OUR WEBSITE OR SOCIAL MEDIA PROPERTIES OR PURCHASE, DOWNLOAD, USE OR PARTICIPATE IN OUR CONTENT OR PRODUCTS, YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND OUR PRIVACY POLICY (TOGETHER, “AGREEMENT”). IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL PROVISIONS IN THE AGREEMENT, YOU ARE PROHIBITED FROM VISITING OUR WEBSITE AND USING OUR CONTENT AND PRODUCTS.
Leverage to Lead LLC provides executive coaching, career strategy, and business consulting services, a certification program, and related resources to individuals and organizations who recognize that a commitment to cultivating diversity and building teams that reflect a range of ages, religious, experiences, nationalities, ethnicities, and gender identities requires a commitment to strategic leadership, an examination of their values, refined policies and practices, and continued personal and professional development as part of their commitment. When you use or interact with us through our website (including, without limitation, https://leverage2lead.com and affiliated domains) and certification program and on our social media properties, intellectual property laws protect our certification program, webinars, videos, worksheets, downloadable materials, and any other products or materials provided after you make a paid purchase (“Products”) and all blog posts and other free content on our websites, shared through our email newsletter, and on our social media properties (“Content”). We either own or have permission to use all the intellectual property rights to all protectable elements in the Products and Content, including without limitation, the logo, images, trademarks, service marks, design elements, layout, graphics, information, materials, documents, data, and text. We reserve all rights not specifically granted in these Terms.
Not Intended For Children
Content and Products are intended for individuals at least 18 years of age and legally able to enter into a contract, and when you buy or use our Content or Product, you represent and warrant that you meet both requirements. We disclaim all liability for use or purchase of any Content or Products by individuals under 18 years of age. Children under 13 years of age may not use our Content or Products, and children between 13 and 18 years of age should obtain a parent’s or guardian’s permission before viewing, purchasing or using our Content and Products.
Content And Products For Personal Use By One Individual Only
We love it when you share about our work, but please keep in mind that our Content and Products are protected by copyright laws and are for personal use by one individual only, with the exception that our certification program Product includes additional permissions and restrictions you agreed to when signing your Certification Program License Agreement. You may (i) view and use our Content, (ii) email and share short (2 sentences; no images) snippets of our Content on your social media platforms of choice, with proper attribution, tagging our social media profile in the image and text of your post, and a link back to our site where possible, and (iii) purchase and use our Products for personal, noncommercial use only. Selling, sharing, redistributing, licensing, or sublicensing our Content or Products to an individual, business, or third party (other than an employee, contractor, other agent, or gift recipient you have identified at checkout for delivery of the purchased Product) is prohibited. To the extent that you purchased Products on behalf of your employees, contractors, or other agents (collectively, “Agents”), you agree to take precautions consistent with the highest industry standards, including without limitation entering into written agreements binding your Agents to terms at least as protective as these Terms, to ensure they do not sell or share the Content or Products, in whole or in part, or otherwise violate these Terms. In the event you or your Agents breach these Terms, you agree to pay us $5,000 USD per instance of breach regarding Content and $100,000 USD per instance of breach regarding Products within fifteen (15) days after breach, which you agree has been incorporated into these Terms as a valid pre-estimate of damages that we will sustain, which will not be capable of precise determination. You agree this is not a penalty, but rather is the agreed-upon liquidated damages suffered as a result of your using or selling our Content or Products outside of these permitted and expressly limited usage Terms.
No Refunds; No Chargebacks
All sales are final. All Product purchases are nonrefundable, and Products are not returnable under any circumstances. Because we have a clear No Refunds policy in these Terms and you have agreed to these Terms before purchasing a Product, we will not permit any actual or threatened chargebacks from you or your credit card company. In the event that we receive a chargeback threat during or after your purchase or a chargeback is placed on your purchase, we will report your name, email, order date and amount, billing address, and a description of the incident to Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion credit bureaus, and to any other entity in our sole discretion, to ensure the incident is included in chargeback databases and delinquent account listings. That report may negatively impact your credit score, and we will require that you make a full payment of the chargeback amount plus any attorney fees or other expenses incurred in connection with the chargeback incident before we will remove you from those databases.
Payment Authorization
All purchases are charged at the time of purchase, whether the items purchased are then-available or offered on a pre-order basis. If you are paying electronically (e.g., by debit card, credit card, PayPal, or other online payment account service), you grant us permission to charge your provided payment method for all amounts due, without any additional authorization, and you will receive an electronic receipt for payments made. To the extent necessary for processing and completing your payment, you authorize us to share your payment information and related instructions with our third-party service providers. If you fail to pay the full amount due, we will cancel your order.
Third Party Products
You are responsible for the installation, operation, and maintenance of all hardware, software, equipment and services, including internet access, necessary to access and use the Products (“Third Party Products”), and for ensuring the same are up to date. We may make available to you certain Third Party Products, but We are not responsible for the transmission or reception of information by any Third Party Products. If any Third Party Products impair your use of the Products, you are still responsible for payment of fees. It is your responsibility to address any issue with the Products caused by a Third Party Product. We may, in our sole discretion, assist you with resolving technical difficulties caused by the Third Party Products.
Testimonials Representative of Actual Client Experiences, Not Guarantee of Your Experience
The testimonials, statements, and opinions presented in our Products were provided voluntarily by actual clients, and we did not provide free products, services, or any other benefits in exchange for those testimonials. While those testimonials are representative of actual client experiences, the exact results and experience will be unique for each individual. Therefore, we cannot and do not make any representations or guarantees about any particular results or earnings you may experience from using the Products.
General Educational Purpose Only; No Warranty
We provide and sell the Content and Products for general informational and educational purposes only. While we use reasonable efforts to include accurate and up-to-date information in our Content and Products, we cannot make any representations or warranties as to the accuracy of information in either. We assume no liability or responsibility for any errors or representations in the content available in the Content and Products. Nothing in the Content or Products is provided or intended as a substitute for financial, legal, medical, or other professional services or advice, and you agree we are not responsible for your reliance on any advice or opinions in the Content or Products. We strongly recommend you consult your own financial advisor, legal counsel, or other professional, as you are ultimately responsible for determining what is best for your unique situation.

However, we do not have an obligation to monitor content submitted by you or other third parties, so we cannot be responsible or liable for damages or losses arising from third party content. We do not make any representations regarding the accuracy of any third party content.
