Links.

These terms of use apply only to this site and not to the sites of any other companies or organizations, including the sites to which we link. We do not maintain, create, endorse or take any responsibility for the contents, advertising, products or other materials made available through any other site, including those to which we link. Under no circumstances will we be held responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any loss or damage that is caused or alleged to have been caused to you, or anyone, in connection with your, or their, use of any content, goods or services available on this or any other site.

Submissions.

We welcome your comments about this site. However, we have no obligation to review or consider any unsolicited creative submissions to or suggestions about topics to cover within our publications, services or products. This policy is intended to avoid the possibility of future misunderstandings in the event that ideas developed by our staff might seem to be similar to the ideas submitted to us. Accordingly, we ask that you not send us any original creative ideas, suggestions or materials. If, despite our request, you send us any idea, suggestion or material (“submission”), it shall become our property. We will not be subject to any obligation of confidence for any submission, and we will not be liable for any use or disclosure of any submission. In the case that you submit something to us and it is unsolicited, we will exclusively own all rights to the submission worldwide, and we will be entitled to the unrestricted use of the submission for any purpose, without compensation or notification to the provider of the submission. Given this fact, we ask that you refrain from submitting creative projects to us, particularly those that are confidential or personal to you.

Forums.

A “forum” means any message board, chat room, user review forum or other interactive service appearing on the site and includes both public boards and private folders. You must register in accordance with instructions that you will find on the site in order to contribute to any forum. You may not post on any forum, or send to any other forum user or our staff, any material that is abusive, vulgar, threatening, harassing, libelous, defamatory, obscene, invades a person’s privacy, violates any intellectual or other property rights, or that would otherwise violate any law or be in bad taste according to our sole discretion.

You may not use any forum in a commercial manner. You may not post material that solicits funds or that advertises or solicits goods or services. You may not post material known to be false. You may not post messages that contain stock touts. You may not post or transmit any information, software or other material that contains a virus or other harmful component. We are not responsible for material appearing in any forum on the site, except for material signed by one of our identified representatives. We are not responsible for screening material posted by users for libel, obscenity, invasion of privacy, copyright or trademark infringement, accuracy or for any other reason. We retain, however, the right to modify or remove messages or other material that we, in our sole discretion, consider infringing, offensive, abusive, defamatory, obscene, stale or otherwise unacceptable. We also reserve the right to edit materials for any other reason.

Whether or not we modify or remove such material, users remain solely responsible for the content of their messages or postings. By posting on the site, you grant (or warrant that the owner of such rights has expressly granted) us and/or relevant affiliated companies the worldwide, perpetual, nonexclusive right to use your questions, comments and postings, in their original or edited form, in television programs, books, articles, commentaries or in any other medium now known or later developed. You also warrant that you own or otherwise control all of the rights to the content you have posted and that the public posting and use of such content by us will not infringe the rights of any third party. Additionally, you warrant that any “moral rights” in posted materials have been waived. You are not entitled to any compensation for any materials you may post on the site.

Registration.

We may, at our discretion, suspend or terminate the registration of any forum user or general user who violates any of these terms of use, any of the forum member guidelines or for any other behavior that we, in our sole discretion, believe is inappropriate.

Disclaimers.

The information, services, products, claims, topics and materials on our site are provided “as is” and without warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied. We disclaim all warranties, expressed or implied, including but not limited to implied effectiveness of the ideas or success strategies listed on this site as well as those that are provided in our products, services, our marketing activities or to participants in our virtual and actual events. The only exceptions are the guarantees of satisfaction and graduation that are clearly labeled guarantees within our site.

Neither we nor any of our respective licensors or suppliers warrant that any functions contained in the site will be uninterrupted or error-free, that defects will be corrected or that the site or the server that makes it available are free of viruses or other harmful components. Neither we nor any of our respective licensors or suppliers warrant or make any representations regarding the use, or the results of the use, of the services, products, information or materials in this site in terms of their correctness, accuracy, reliability or otherwise.

You (and not us or any of our respective licensors or suppliers) assume the entire cost of all necessary servicing, repair or correction to your digital devices or computer system. Applicable law may not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.

We do not endorse, warrant or guarantee any speakers, products or services offered on this site or on the sites to which we link. We are not a party to, and do not monitor, any transaction between users and third-party providers of products or services.

Limitation of liability.

Under no circumstances, including but not limited to negligence, will we or any of our licensors or suppliers be liable for any special or consequential damages that result from the use of, or the inability to use, the materials or information on the site, or any products or services provided pursuant to the site, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages (including but not limited to lost data), so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. In no event shall the total liability to you by us or any of our licensors or suppliers for all damages, losses and causes of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) exceed the amount paid by you to us, if any, for accessing the site.

Under no circumstances will we be held responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any loss or damage that is caused or alleged to have been caused to you in connection with your use of any advice, goods or services you receive from any provider of content on our site.

We are also not responsible or liable for any loss or damage that is caused or alleged to have been caused to any of our content providers in connection with the display of their photo, logo, name, business name, business description or biography posted on our site or in our marketing materials.

No professional advice.

The information contained in or made available through the site (including but not limited to information contained on message boards, in text files or in chats) cannot replace or substitute for the services of trained professionals in any field, including but not limited to financial, medical, psychological, legal or tax matters. We do not offer any financial, medical, psychological, legal, or tax advice. Neither we nor our partners, or any of their affiliates, will be liable for any direct, indirect, consequential, special, exemplary or other damages that may result, including but not limited to economic loss, injury, illness or death.

Earnings disclaimer.

When addressing financial matters in our site, emails, videos, newsletters or other content, we’ve made every effort to ensure we accurately represent our programs, opinions and their ability to improve your life or grow your business. However, as stipulated by law, we cannot and do not make any guarantees about your ability to get results or earn any money with our ideas, information, tools, strategies or recommendations, and we do not purport any “get rich” programs on our site. Nothing on this page, on any of our websites or in any of our content, marketing materials, emails or curricula is a promise or guarantee of results or future earnings. Any financial numbers referenced on any of our sites or marketing materials are illustrative of concepts only and should not be considered your potential average earnings, your potential exact earnings or promises for actual or future performance.

Every author’s results differ. Your level of success in attaining similar results is dependent upon a number of factors including your skill, knowledge, ability, dedication, business savvy, network and financial situation, to name a few. Because these factors differ by individual, we cannot and do not guarantee your success, income level or ability to earn revenue. Making decisions based on any information contained in our products, services, events or website should be done only with the knowledge that you could experience risk or losses such as is true about any entrepreneurial endeavor. Use caution and always consult your accountant, lawyer or professional advisor before acting on this or any information related to your business or finances. You alone are responsible and accountable for your decisions, actions and results in life and business, and by your use of the site, you agree not to attempt to hold us liable for any such decisions, actions or results, at any time, under any circumstance. Any forward-looking statements outlined on this site are simply our opinion and thus are not promises or guarantees regarding actual performance. By law, we make no guarantees that you will achieve any results from our ideas or models presented on our site or in our services.

Parental permission.

The site is not appropriate for or directed to children under the age of 13, and we will not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. We strongly recommend that parents participate in their children’s exploration of the internet and any online services and use their browser’s parental controls to limit the areas of the internet to which their children have access. We may, at our discretion, require users under the age of 18 to obtain the consent of a parent or guardian to view certain content. You agree to abide by any such restrictions and not to help anyone avoid these restrictions.

Confidentiality and non-compete.

Users of our site hereby understand that the tools, processes, strategies, materials and information presented on our site are copyrighted and proprietary, so users agree not to record, duplicate, distribute, teach or train from our information in any manner whatsoever without our express prior written permission. Any unauthorized use or distribution of our site’s proprietary concepts, materials and intellectual property by you or your representatives is prohibited, and we will pursue legal action and full damages if these terms are violated in order to protect our rights.

Miscellaneous.

These terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to any principles of conflicts of law. You agree that any action at law or in equity that arises out of or relates to these terms will be subject to mediation in the State of Illinois. If any of these terms of use are found to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be considered severable from the remaining terms of use and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. These terms may be modified only by our posting of changes to these terms of use on our site.
