Terms and Policy

Terms of Use and Privacy
A. The Terms
1. Acceptance of Terms
Welcome to The Blakeslee Group Coaching Services ("Service" or "Site") owned and operated by The Blakeslee Group LLC ("The Blakeslee Group") by arrangement with the Point Harbor Community Church, Inc. By using this site and related service you certify that you are agreeing to comply with and be bound by this Agreement, the Privacy Policy and any additional agreements, as applicable (collectively "Related Agreements"), and all rules, policies and disclaimers posted on the Site or about which you are notified (collectively "Terms"). If you do not agree with all the Terms, or if you are under the age of thirteen (18), do not use the Site. Please review all of the Terms carefully before using the Site.

By using the Site, you (i) agree to be bound by the Terms, (ii) represent that you are over the age of eighteen (18) and able to form legally binding contracts, (iii) agree and acknowledge that by using the Service you are accepting a benefit that cannot be disgorged, (iv) acknowledge that the service is subject to U.S. export controls and agree that you will comply with U.S. export controls, and (v) represent that you are neither located in sanctioned country nor a prohibited person.
Please note that these Terms provide that if you and The Blakeslee Group are unable to resolve any disputes that arise between you and The Blakeslee Group, the dispute will be resolved by a specific dispute resolution process that may include arbitration. Arbitration is binding and is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. You and The Blakeslee Group also agree that any claims or disputes cannot be brought as a class action. Please carefully review the Dispute Resolution section below and visit http://www.adr.org for more information about arbitration.

2. Definitions
In the Terms, "User," "you" and "your" refer to the individual or entity that creates an account as a Client and/or Coach. "The Blakeslee Group," "we," "us" and "our" refer to The Blakeslee Group. "Client" refers to the person who creates an account for the Site or interacts while logged into the Site. “Coach” refers to the person who uses the Site to educate the Client, to provide options and give the Client hope.

You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and The Blakeslee Group are each waiving the right to a trial by jury and waiving the right to participate in a class action involving all disputes, claims and controversies, of any sort or nature, between us, arising out of the use of the Site ("Dispute"). You and The Blakeslee Group agree that any Dispute shall be resolved solely pursuant to the following procedure: (1) notification to the other party of the facts of the Dispute, the legal basis for the Dispute, and all damages claimed, in writing delivered to (a) the User's email address on file with The Blakeslee Group, or (b) The Blakeslee Group LLC, 2705 Taylor Rd, Chesapeake, VA 23321 or blakeslee@spamarrest.com, whichever is applicable ("Dispute Notification"); (2) allowance of thirty (30) days from receipt of the Dispute Notification to receive a response to and/or offer to remedy the Dispute; (3) if the Dispute remains unresolved within those thirty (30) days, the filing of a Request for Online Mediation for Small Claims with the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") (or Request for Mediation for the minimum of four (4) hours only if the Small Claims limit is exceeded), available online athttp://www.aaamediation.com/, with good faith efforts being made to resolve the Dispute during mediation, and the cost of the mediation being born equally by the parties, which cost is currently set at US$50 but may be changed by the AAA; (4) if the mediation does not resolve the Dispute, submission of a Demand for Arbitration with the AAA, see www.adr.org/aaa/faces/services/fileacase/casefiling, in which case the Dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration (by telephone, online and/or solely based on written submissions as chosen by the party initiating the arbitration, as allowed by the AAA Rules and unless otherwise agreed by the parties) or by filing a claim in small claims court.

You agree that The Blakeslee Group may assign the Terms to any other entity of its choosing, with or without notice to you.
