Terms of Service
Updated: 24 June 2026
Welcome to Already Aligned By Design®, LLC (“AABD,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of AABD’s website, educational offerings, workshops, courses, guided programs, learning pathways, assessments, events, community spaces, materials, and related services (collectively, the “Services”).
By accessing the Services, creating an account, registering for an offering, making a purchase, entering a payment plan, or otherwise indicating acceptance of these Terms, you agree to be bound by them. If you do not agree, do not access or use the Services.
1. Purpose of AABD Services
AABD is a school of human development rooted in spiritual philosophy. Our workshops, courses, programs, materials, and community spaces are designed for education, inquiry, reflection, and personal development.
AABD’s Services are educational and philosophical in nature. They are not medical care, mental-health treatment, crisis intervention, psychotherapy, legal advice, tax advice, financial advice, investment advice, or a substitute for licensed professional services.
You remain solely responsible for your personal decisions, actions, health, well-being, relationships, finances, and use of the information presented through AABD.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least eighteen (18) years old to purchase or independently enroll in AABD Services.
A minor may participate only when AABD expressly permits participation and a parent or legal guardian has provided any required consent, registration information, and agreement to these Terms.
You agree to provide accurate, complete, and current information when registering, purchasing, creating an account, or communicating with AABD.
3. Educational Nature and No Guaranteed Outcomes
AABD is committed to offering thoughtful, meaningful, and high-quality learning experiences. However, individual insight, participation, integration, and outcomes vary.
AABD does not guarantee a particular personal, professional, financial, relational, emotional, spiritual, academic, or business result from participation in any Service. Testimonials, examples, discussions, and participant experiences are illustrative only and do not guarantee that you will achieve similar results.
4. Purchases, Payments, and Payment Plans
All prices are listed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated. You agree to pay all fees associated with your purchase, including any applicable taxes or authorized payment-processing charges.
AABD may use third-party payment processors or financing providers. Your use of those services may also be governed by the terms, policies, and agreements of the applicable provider.
Payment plans and financing arrangements are offered as a payment convenience only. They do not alter your financial obligations, the no-refund policy, or the applicable program expiration period.
You remain responsible for all amounts due under any payment plan or financing agreement, whether or not you attend, participate in, complete, or use the purchased Service.
5. Refunds, Rescheduling, and Program Expiration
AABD’s Refund, Rescheduling, and Program Expiration Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
All purchases are final and nonrefundable, except where otherwise required by applicable law.
Workshops
Workshop registrations are nonrefundable. Participants may request to reschedule into a future offering of the same or substantially similar workshop, subject to availability and the terms of AABD’s Refund, Rescheduling, and Program Expiration Policy.
Workshop credits or rescheduled registrations must be used within one (1) year of the original purchase date unless AABD approves an extension in writing.
Courses
Course enrollments do not expire. Participants retain access to the core course curriculum while their account remains in good standing and all payment obligations have been fulfilled.
AABD may update, improve, relocate, or transition course materials and learning platforms as the school evolves. When a material platform or course-format change is necessary, AABD will make reasonable efforts to preserve access to the course or provide substantially equivalent access.
Other Programs and Services
Unless AABD expressly states otherwise in writing, all other purchased or financed offerings—including guided programs, private programs, group learning pathways, session packages, assessments, consultations, credits, and related services—expire one (1) year from the original purchase date.
Unused sessions, credits, program components, or services remaining after expiration are forfeited and are not refundable, transferable, or redeemable for cash.
In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the Refund, Rescheduling, and Program Expiration Policy, the Refund, Rescheduling, and Program Expiration Policy controls as to refunds, rescheduling, credits, and expiration.
6. Participant Conduct and Community Standards
AABD is committed to maintaining a learning environment grounded in dignity, reflection, respect, and mutual care.
You agree not to:
Harass, threaten, demean, discriminate against, exploit, or intimidate another participant, facilitator, staff member, or community member;
Disrupt a workshop, course, program, event, or community space;
Share another participant’s personal information, private disclosures, recordings, or contributions without permission;
Use AABD spaces to solicit, recruit, promote, or sell unrelated products or services without written approval;
Upload or share unlawful, infringing, defamatory, abusive, or harmful content;
Misrepresent your identity, affiliation, credentials, or relationship with AABD;
Copy, record, reproduce, distribute, sell, publish, or create derivative works from AABD materials without written permission.
AABD may remove content, restrict participation, suspend access, or terminate enrollment when conduct violates these Terms, disrupts the learning environment, threatens the safety or dignity of others, or compromises the integrity of AABD’s work.
A suspension or termination resulting from a participant’s conduct does not create a right to a refund, credit, extension, or transfer.
7. Accounts and Access Credentials
Where account access is required, you are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.
You may not share account credentials, course access, paid materials, recordings, or participant-only resources with another person unless AABD expressly authorizes it in writing.
Notify AABD promptly at
admin@aabyd.com if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization.
8. Intellectual Property
All AABD content, including but not limited to course materials, workshop materials, slides, frameworks, curriculum, videos, recordings, assessments, written content, graphics, logos, branding, website content, concepts, methods, and proprietary materials, is owned by or licensed to AABD and is protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
Your purchase grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the purchased materials solely for your own educational use.
You may not, without AABD’s prior written permission:
Reproduce, distribute, publish, transmit, sell, sublicense, or commercially exploit AABD materials;
Record or share workshops, calls, meetings, courses, or program sessions;
Remove copyright, trademark, or proprietary notices;
Use AABD content to train artificial-intelligence systems, create competing materials, or develop derivative programs;
Present AABD materials, frameworks, or concepts as your own original work.
“Already Aligned By Design®,” “AABD,” associated logos, names, marks, and brand elements may not be used without prior written authorization.
9. Participant Contributions and Feedback
You retain ownership of content you independently create and share in AABD spaces. By submitting content through the Services, you grant AABD a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, reproduce, and use that content as reasonably necessary to operate the applicable Service.
AABD will not use your name, image, testimonial, voice, or personal story in marketing materials without your separate permission, except where you have clearly agreed to a specific recording, release, or promotional authorization.
Any suggestions, feedback, recommendations, or ideas you voluntarily provide to AABD may be used by AABD without obligation or compensation to you.
10. Recordings and Live Events
Certain workshops, classes, programs, or events may be recorded. When recording is planned, AABD will provide notice through the registration page, event communications, or the beginning of the session.
Participants are expected to respect the privacy of others and may not record, photograph, screenshot, or distribute any portion of an AABD session without written authorization.
Where a participant’s image, voice, name, or contribution may be used beyond the educational delivery of the program, AABD will obtain any required separate authorization.
11. Third-Party Platforms and Links
AABD may use third-party platforms for payment processing, course delivery, video conferencing, registration, communication, community hosting, or other operational purposes.
AABD is not responsible for the availability, content, security, policies, acts, or omissions of third-party websites, platforms, tools, or service providers. Your use of third-party services is governed by their respective terms and privacy policies.
12. Privacy
Your use of the Services is also governed by AABD’s Privacy Policy, which explains how AABD collects, uses, stores, and protects personal information.
By using the Services, you acknowledge that electronic communications, registrations, records, and signatures may be used in connection with your relationship with AABD.
13. Disclaimer of Warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by law, AABD provides the Services on an “as is” and “as available” basis.
AABD does not guarantee that the Services will always be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, timely, or available on every device, browser, platform, or location. AABD may update, modify, pause, or discontinue aspects of the Services when reasonably necessary for operations, quality, safety, technology, or program development.
Nothing in these Terms limits rights that cannot legally be waived.
14. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, AABD and its owners, facilitators, employees, contractors, affiliates, and representatives will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from or related to your use of the Services.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, AABD’s total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Services will not exceed the amount you paid to AABD for the specific Service giving rise to the claim during the six (6) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, gross negligence, intentional misconduct, or any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
15. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless AABD and its owners, facilitators, employees, contractors, affiliates, and representatives from claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising from:
Your violation of these Terms;
Your misuse of the Services or AABD materials;
Your violation of another person’s rights, privacy, or intellectual property;
Content you submit, share, or distribute through AABD spaces; or
Your unlawful, harmful, or disruptive conduct.
16. Force Majeure
AABD will not be responsible for delays, interruptions, rescheduling, or inability to perform caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, severe weather, public-health events, internet or platform outages, utility failures, governmental actions, labor disputes, acts of violence, or other unforeseen events.
When reasonably possible, AABD may reschedule, modify delivery, provide an alternative format, or offer another appropriate accommodation. Refunds remain governed by the Refund, Rescheduling, and Program Expiration Policy.
17. Termination of Access
AABD may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time when reasonably necessary to protect the safety, integrity, operations, intellectual property, or community standards of AABD.
Termination does not excuse outstanding payment obligations or create a right to a refund unless required by applicable law.
18. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
Before initiating formal legal action, you agree to contact AABD at
admin@aabyd.com and make a good-faith effort to resolve the concern informally. AABD will have thirty (30) days to respond and attempt resolution.
If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, any legal action must be brought in the state courts located in the Georgia county where AABD maintains its principal place of business, or in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, as applicable.
Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking emergency injunctive relief to protect intellectual property, confidential information, safety, or legal rights.
19. Changes to These Terms
AABD may update these Terms from time to time. The revised Terms will be posted with an updated Effective Date.
Your continued use of the Services after revised Terms are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. Purchases governed by a separately executed agreement will remain subject to that agreement where it conflicts with these Terms.
20. General Provisions
If any portion of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
AABD’s failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not waive its right to enforce that provision later.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Refund, Rescheduling, and Program Expiration Policy, registration terms, and any separately executed agreement, constitute the complete agreement between you and AABD regarding the applicable Services.
You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without AABD’s prior written consent. AABD may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, reorganization, sale, transfer of assets, or successor relationship.
