Terms of Use
Effective Date: April 7, 2026 Last Updated: April 7, 2026
Welcome to The Adva Effect Inc. ("we," "us," or "our"). These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our website at theadvaeffect.com and advaeffect.com, our learning platform at learn.advaeffect.com, and all courses, content, and services we offer (collectively, the "Services").
The Adva Effect Inc. is a company based in Ontario, Canada, operated by Chelsea Alexandra Prescod.
Please read these Terms carefully before creating an account, purchasing a course, or using our Services. By accessing our platform, creating an account, or making a purchase, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use our Services.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater) to use our Services. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement and that all information you provide is accurate and complete.
2. Account Registration and Security
To access our courses, you must create an account with a valid email address and password. You are responsible for:
Providing accurate, current, and complete information during registration.
Maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials.
All activity that occurs under your account, whether or not authorized by you.
Notifying us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect any unauthorized access to your account.
Your account is for your individual, personal use only. Each course purchase grants a license to a single individual. You may not share your login credentials or allow any other person to access the Services through your account. We reserve the right to monitor account activity and may suspend or terminate accounts that show patterns of unauthorized sharing, such as simultaneous access from multiple locations.
3. Course Access and License
When you purchase a course, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and view the course content for your personal educational and professional development purposes only.
This license means:
You may access the course through your individual account on our platform.
You may view course videos, complete exercises, and use downloadable templates and materials for your own learning and for application in your own work.
You may not share, distribute, forward, or make available any course content, including downloadable templates, to any third party.
This license does not transfer any ownership rights in the course content to you. We may revoke this license at any time if you violate these Terms.
4. Intellectual Property
All course content — including but not limited to videos, audio recordings, written materials, slides, graphics, photographs, templates, worksheets, frameworks, methodologies, and any other materials provided through our Services (collectively, "Course Materials") — is the exclusive property of The Adva Effect Inc. and is protected by Canadian and international copyright, trademark, and intellectual property laws.
You may not, under any circumstances:
Copy, reproduce, duplicate, or download course videos, audio, or streaming content (other than expressly downloadable materials provided for your personal use).
Screen-record, photograph, or capture any video or audio content.
Share, distribute, publish, broadcast, or transmit any Course Materials to anyone who has not separately purchased access.
Forward, upload, or post downloadable templates, worksheets, or other materials to any website, platform, file-sharing service, or social media.
Modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works based on any Course Materials.
Sell, resell, license, sublicense, rent, or commercially exploit any Course Materials.
Use Course Materials to develop or deliver competing courses, workshops, programs, or consulting services.
Reverse-engineer or extract proprietary frameworks, methodologies, or processes for use outside your personal learning.
Use any automated tool, bot, or scraper to access or download Course Materials.
All trademarks, service marks, trade names, and logos displayed on our platform are the property of The Adva Effect Inc. and may not be used without our prior written consent.
5. Payment Terms
All course prices are displayed in United States Dollars (USD). Payments are processed securely through Thinkific Payments, powered by Stripe. By making a purchase, you agree to Stripe's terms of service and acknowledge that your payment information is handled directly by Stripe in compliance with PCI-DSS security standards.
You are responsible for any applicable taxes, duties, or fees imposed by your jurisdiction. The final price at checkout includes the course fee; additional local taxes may apply depending on your location.
If you purchase a course on a payment plan, you are obligated to complete all scheduled payments regardless of whether you continue to access the course. Failure to complete payment plan installments may result in suspension of your course access until outstanding payments are resolved.
6. Refund Policy
Because our courses are digital products that provide immediate access to content upon purchase, refund eligibility is limited.
14-Day Satisfaction Guarantee: If you are unsatisfied with a course, you may request a full refund within 14 days of your purchase date, provided you have not accessed or completed more than 25% of the course content. Once you have accessed more than 25% of the course material, or after 14 days from your purchase date — whichever comes first — your purchase is final and non-refundable.
Downloadable materials: No refund will be issued for courses in which downloadable templates or materials have been downloaded, as these cannot be "returned."
How to request a refund: Send your request by email to [email protected] within the 14-day window. Include your name, email address associated with your account, the course name, and the reason for your request. Approved refunds will be processed to your original payment method through Stripe within 10 business days.
Payment plans: If you purchased on a payment plan and request a refund within the eligible window, we will refund any installments already paid. If a refund is not granted (because you have exceeded the 25% threshold or the 14-day window), all remaining installments remain due.
We reserve the right to deny refund requests that do not meet the above criteria, or where we reasonably suspect abuse of the refund policy.
7. Acceptable Use and Prohibited Conduct
You agree to use our Services only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to:
Share, redistribute, or make available any Course Materials to any person who has not purchased access.
Share your account credentials or allow others to access your account.
Submit false, misleading, or inaccurate information during registration or at any other time.
Engage in harassment, bullying, threats, or abusive behavior toward other students, our staff, or our instructor.
Post spam, promotional content, or solicitations in any course community or discussion area.
Attempt to gain unauthorized access to other user accounts, our systems, or any connected networks.
Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of our platform.
Use our Services in any manner that violates applicable local, national, or international laws or regulations.

Educational purposes only: Our courses provide educational and informational content related to go-to-market strategy and business topics. The Course Materials do not constitute professional business, legal, financial, tax, or accounting advice. You should consult with qualified professionals before making business decisions based on what you learn in our courses.
No guarantee of results: We make no representations, warranties, or guarantees regarding the specific results you may achieve from using our courses. Your outcomes will depend on many factors beyond our control, including your effort, prior experience, skills, market conditions, and business circumstances. Any examples, case studies, or testimonials shared in our courses or marketing materials are illustrative and do not guarantee similar results.
"As is" availability: Our Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that our platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. In those jurisdictions, the above exclusions apply only to the extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer that cannot be waived or limited by contract.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, The Adva Effect Inc., its owner, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data, business opportunities, or other intangible losses, arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use our Services.
In no event shall our total liability to you for all claims arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of our Services exceed the amount you paid to us for the specific course giving rise to the claim.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of certain types of damages. In those jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless The Adva Effect Inc. and its owner, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Services; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any third-party rights; or (d) any content you submit or share through our platform.
11. Termination

Sharing or distributing Course Materials.
Sharing account credentials or allowing unauthorized access.
Non-payment or fraudulent payment activity.
Abusive, harassing, or threatening behavior.
Any other material breach of these Terms.
Upon termination, your license to access and use the Course Materials is immediately revoked. You must stop using all Course Materials and destroy any copies in your possession. Termination for breach of these Terms does not entitle you to any refund.
The following sections survive termination: Intellectual Property (Section 4), Disclaimers (Section 8), Limitation of Liability (Section 9), Indemnification (Section 10), Governing Law (Section 13), and Dispute Resolution (Section 14).
12. Modifications to Terms and Services
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top and, for material changes, notify you by email or through a notice on our platform. Your continued use of the Services after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the changes, you should stop using our Services.
We also reserve the right to modify, update, or discontinue any course or feature of our platform at any time. We will make reasonable efforts to notify enrolled students of significant changes to active courses.
13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law principles.
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Services shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario, Canada, and you irrevocably submit to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable in your jurisdiction, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
14. Dispute Resolution
Before initiating any formal legal proceedings, you agree to first contact us at [email protected] to attempt to resolve the dispute informally. We will make good-faith efforts to resolve your concern within 30 days of receiving your written complaint.
If we are unable to resolve the matter informally, either party may pursue the dispute through the courts of the Province of Ontario as described in Section 13.
15. General Provisions

Severability: If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect.
No waiver: Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
