Grant Funding Formula Terms & Conditions

TERMS & CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE

You are purchasing access for one (1) person to Grant Funding Formula (referred to below as the “Grant Funding Formula Program,” “Grant Funding Formula,” or the “Program”) from Sarah Dobson (the “Company,” “we,” or “us”). 

 

The Product includes live course access, course content and materials, other information and materials furnished by the Company (collectively, “Content”) and access to a membership platform hosting the Program (the “Site”). By purchasing access to Grant Funding Formula, you and the Company hereby agree to these Terms and Conditions of Purchase and the Company’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy (collectively, this “Agreement”) following legal terms and conditions that govern your use of Grant Funding Formula and that form a legal agreement between you and the Company. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and Conditions of Purchase and the Terms of Use or Privacy Policy, these Terms and Conditions of Purchase shall control.

 

THE SECTIONS BELOW TITLED “BINDING ARBITRATION” AND “CLASS ACTION WAIVER” CONTAIN A BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER. THEY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. PLEASE READ THEM.

 

Payment Policy

You are responsible to pay for Grant Funding Formula in full (including all applicable sales and other taxes or fees) and for providing us with a valid credit card or other payment method. If you select the payment plan, your card will be charged the first payment of $349 USD when you register and subsequent payments of $349 USD will be charged on the same day of the month for 2 months, totalling $1047 USD. If you have selected a payment plan and you miss a payment, your account status will be changed to “delinquent.” You will immediately lose access to future Modules and Bonuses and your access to the Site and all Content will be revoked seven (7) days after your payment declines. You will also not receive access to future versions of the Program as it’s released until all payments are made in full.

 

To be clear, Grant Funding Formula is not a subscription payment model that can be canceled or “pay in part” program where you can pay only for access to certain Modules and not others. This is a full immersion program, and your payment plan is a convenience that we offer so that you can make the price sustainable.

 

Refund Policy

The Grant Funding Formula comes with a 14 Day Satisfaction Guarantee. Our hope is that your NIH applications will be transformed with the skills you develop through the Program. We also expect you to give the Program your very best effort. That’s why in order to be eligible for our 14 Day Satisfaction Guarantee, you must submit proof that you did the course work.

 

You can participate in the Program for up to 14 days. If you do the full course work, don’t feel we’ve delivered on our promise, and email your work to [email protected] within 14 days of your purchase, we will promptly refund the money you’ve paid us under this Agreement less any external fees subject to the following conditions:

 

Deadline to Apply for Refund. To be eligible for a refund, you must be a Grant Funding Formula member who purchased Grant Funding Formula in the current calendar year (2019) and you must submit your request by 11:59pm Pacific Canadian Time on the 14th day after your purchase.  The deadline exists because if you sign up for Grant Funding Formula, we want you to get started. If you don’t plan on starting right away but want to sign up this year, we’d love to have you, but definitely make sure this is the right investment for you, as the refund does have a firm deadline.

Completed Course Work. We’ll ask for your completed course work (to make sure you gave it a go) and ask what didn’t work for you (so we can learn and improve). You must email your course work to [email protected] before the deadline.

Company Discretion. After you submit your materials, all refunds are within the Company’s sole discretion as to whether to grant or deny the refund request.

Please do not enroll in Grant Funding Formula if you just want to “check it out.” We put an extraordinary amount of time and effort into this Program, and we expect you to do the same. Grant Funding Formula is for serious students only.
