Payment, Cancellation, and Refunds
Full payment is required to secure participation in a LAUNCHPADcouncil experience, in accordance with the pricing shown when you register. Our cancellation and refund policy is as follows: A full refund is available up to 14 days before the start of the first meeting. A 50% refund is available between 13 and 7 days before the start. No refund is offered for cancellations made less than 7 full days before the start, or after the program has begun.

You agree to be present at scheduled workshops, coaching sessions, and events on time and to attend for the full scheduled time. Cancellations or reschedules of one-on-one coaching sessions require 48 hours' notice. After three cumulative incidents of no-show, late arrival, or late cancellation, we reserve the right to withdraw all remaining scheduled services.

Governing Law

Dispute Resolution
Any disputes arising from these Terms and Conditions will be resolved through binding arbitration. Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms and Conditions or to any services we provide, involving an amount in controversy greater than $10,000, shall be submitted to binding arbitration in Los Angeles, California, before a private arbitrator, rather than asserted in a court action. The parties hereby waive their right to file a lawsuit and their right to a jury trial. The arbitration shall be conducted before the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (JAMS). An arbitration proceeding may be commenced through the JAMS website, https://www.jamsadr.com or by calling 800-352-5267. The JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures then in effect shall apply to the proceedings. Those rules are available on the JAMS website. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may apply to a California court for injunctive relief or any other provisional remedy. In any legal action between us to enforce any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall recover its attorneys’ fees.
