TERMS OF CONDITIONS, DISCLAIMERS AND CONDITIONS FOR ALL PROGRAMS

(including G.R.I.T. Dream Teams and All Training Programs with Kiana Laurin Tralongo and/or anyone representing Gratus Connecting, LLC)

This Acceptance of Terms and Conditions (the “Agreement“) and the applicable registration or order form (the “Registration Form“) for participation in the Programs and its related courses, materials, websites and associated programs (collectively referred to as the “Program”) sets forth the terms of the relationship between Gratus Connecting, LLC (“GC“) and you as the purchaser or consumer (“you“) as it relates to the Program. You and GC may be referred to in this Agreement collectively as the “Parties” or individually as a “Party.” You expressly agree to the terms of this Agreement by participating in the Program.

Term of Agreement. The term of this Agreement shall begin upon GC’s acceptance of your enrollment in the Program (the “Effective Date“) and shall end upon completion of the Program for which GC has accepted your enrollment or upon termination by either Party. Either you or GC may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by giving the other Party written notice of termination. Termination will not, however, release either Party from any obligations that arose prior to the date of termination.
Program Participation Payments. In consideration of the products and services provided as part of the Program, you agree to pay GC the applicable amount(s) agreed upon during the enrollment process (the “Program Payment”). GC must receive full payment of the agreed upon Program Payment before any products, services or other benefits of the Program will be provided to you, including the sending of materials or starter kits, attendance at in-person events, and/or scheduling or holding coaching sessions. Failure to make any payment or otherwise deviate from any payment terms agreed to by the Parties during or after your enrollment to the Program will result in all Program products and services being suspended until payment is made. GC, at its sole and absolute discretion, may allow you to pay the Program Payment in installments or periodic payments together with any interest or other service charges. Any deviation in payment terms may, at GC’s sole and absolute discretion, result in an immediate acceleration of all sums due and owing by you for participation in the Program. Suspension of Program products and services, however, does not release you from the obligation to make all payments owed to GC for participation in the Program or for other fees associated with your enrollment in the Program or the receipt of any products or services.
Program Description. During the course of the program, you will unlock the secrets of identifying and implementing multiple sources of income by learning techniques developed by Kiana Laurin Tralongo and GC. The program(s) will provide you with access to an exclusive membership website, in-person events featuring Kiana Laurin Tralongo, live webinars and other materials. The program will cover such topics as culture, mindset, aim setting, marketing, online and offline sales, membership website development, product and service branding, fitness, health and influence.
Program Participation at Your Own Risk. You acknowledge and agree that you are not guaranteed to achieve any specific personal, professional or financial results or earn any specific amount of income by participating in the Program. GC makes no promises, representations or warranties concerning the viability of any goals, aspirations or endeavors you may identify or choose to pursue during or as a result of your participation in the Program. You agree to participate in the Program at your own risk. Program information, services and products are used at your own risk. You are solely responsible for any decisions and actions that result from your use of such information, products and services. GC does not provide psychological, investment or financial advice.
No Refunds. Unless otherwise provided below or in the Registration Form, the funds paid for Program participation, any component of the Program, services, materials and products are nonrefundable. All funds paid by you are deemed earned by GC upon receipt.
Accommodation. You are responsible for paying for your own transportation, parking, accommodation and meals associated with any in-person training, coaching or other events associated with participating in the Program.
Ownership Rights and Proprietary Information. GC and its affiliated entities own all right, title and interest (including all intellectual property rights throughout the world) relating to any and all works of authorship, designs, know-how, ideas, course materials, products, services and information made by GC (or its affiliated entities) or conceived or reduced to practice, in whole or in part, by GC (or its affiliated entities) in connection with the Program or any Proprietary Information (as defined below). You agree that all materials provided by GC as part of the Program, which are confidential and proprietary in nature, will constitute GC’s “Proprietary Information.” You will hold in confidence and not disclose or copy any Proprietary Information, except with the prior written consent of GC.
Intellectual Property. You recognize and acknowledge that the trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, patents and copyrighted materials (the “GC Intellectual Property“) associated with the Program and their associated websites are proprietary to GC and its affiliated entities. You will not take any action that would interfere with or infringe upon the GC Intellectual Property, including, but not limited to: (i) duplication or creation of works (including any derivative works) that are the same or substantially similar to the GC Intellectual Property; (ii) registration, creation or use of trademarks, service marks or domain names that are the same or substantially similar to the GC Intellectual Property; (iii) use, manufacture, import, or sales of any product or service that infringes upon the GC Intellectual Property; (iv) use of any GC Intellectual Property in any social media website, newsgroup, page, association, broadcast or other designation without the express written consent of GC and (v) any action that would pass off or create the appearance of an association with or endorsement by GC.
Consent to Use Likeness. By participating in the Program, you expressly grant GC consent to capture, record, replicate, reproduce, publish and otherwise disseminate your name and likeliness in any and all promotional, educational or other means derived from the Program sessions or any portion of the Program.
Modification. GC may modify or amend any of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, at any time and in GC’s sole discretion, by posting a change notice or a new version of the Agreement on the applicable Program website or by otherwise advising you of the amendment/modification. If any modification is unacceptable to you, your only recourse is to terminate this Agreement. Your continued participation in a Program following the posting of a change notice or a new version of the Agreement on the applicable Program website or following notice of the modification/amendment will constitute your binding acceptance of the new terms and conditions.
Indemnification. You will indemnify, hold harmless and defend GC (as well as its members, employees, instructors, vendors, independent contractors, service professionals and affiliated entities) from and against any and all claims, expenses, costs, causes of action and damages (including those for personal injury, property damage and reasonable attorney’s fees) resulting from or arising out of your actions, your participation in the Program or your violation of this Agreement or applicable law.
Assignment. You may not assign this Agreement (or any obligations under this Agreement), by operation of law or otherwise, without GC’s prior written consent.
Limitation of Liability. GC (as well as its members, employees, instructors, vendors, independent contractors, service professionals and affiliated entities) shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages of any nature (including but not limited to claims for personal injury, property damage, losses of revenue, profits, use or data) arising in connection with this Agreement or your participation in the Program, even if GC or its affiliated entities knew or should have known of the possibility of such damages. Further, GC’s aggregate liability arising with respect to this Agreement and the applicable Program will not exceed the total amounts paid or payable by you under the Program.
Governing Law; Class Action Waiver. This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without reference to rules governing choice of laws. You irrevocably and unconditionally waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right you may have to participate as a representative or member of any class of claimants in any class action against GC, or any of its affiliated entities, now or hereafter pending relating to transactions evidenced by this Agreement or similar transactions.
Arbitration. Any dispute or claim arising out of or related to this Agreement, its performance, breach, or interpretation (including issues about its validity or enforceability), will be exclusively (except as provided below) resolved by binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (AAA). One arbitrator will be selected using AAA procedures. The arbitrator will use all reasonable efforts to minimize discovery and to complete the arbitration proceedings as expeditiously as possible. The Arbitrator will also render a written decision setting forth detailed findings of fact and conclusions of law, within 30 calendar days after the conclusion of the arbitration hearing. The arbitrator will not award attorney’s fees, or punitive, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, treble or other multiple or exemplary damages, and the Parties hereby agree to waive and not seek such damages. Either Party may seek judicial relief to compel the other Party to comply with the provisions of this Section, or seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect its intellectual property rights, as long as (unless prohibited by applicable law) the remainder of the dispute or claim is submitted to arbitration. The arbitration will be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Both Parties hereby give their irrevocable consent to the processes of the AAA in Pennsylvania, as well as the jurisdiction of the courts of Butler County, Pennsylvania for enforcement purposes. Awards will be final, binding and non-appealable (except on the minimal grounds required under the Federal Arbitration Act or other applicable law). All awards may be filed with one or more courts, state, federal or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Party against whom such award is rendered or its property, as a basis of judgment and of the issuance of execution for its collection.
Legal Age. By entering into this Agreement, you represent and acknowledge that you are of legal age in the state of your residency.
Relationship of Parties. You agree that by participating in the Program you are acting as an independent contractor, and you are responsible for determining your own business activities. Nothing in this Agreement will create a partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative, or employment relationship between the Parties.
Miscellaneous. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect. GC’s failure to enforce your strict performance of any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of GC’s right to subsequently enforce such provision or any other provision of this Agreement. This Agreement, along with the Registration Form for the Program, constitutes the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and revokes and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, proposals or understandings, whether electronic, oral or written, between the Parties and is intended as a final expression of their agreement.

Promoter requires all Attendees to be respectful and professional to our staff, location hosts, speakers, and other attendees and their guests or families throughout the Seminar, even during non-scheduled downtime and breaks. Promoter reserves the right to ask Attendee and/or their guests to leave the conference room and Hotel immediately should they be deemed rude, uncooperative, unprofessional, intoxicated or in possession of alcohol or any illegal substance. In such case, the Attendee’s tuition/fees for the Seminar will not be reimbursed under any circumstances and they will not receive any future products, services or correspondence from Promoter. Attendee will also not receive any of our advertised bonuses or qualify for our satisfaction guarantee or any other written or implied guarantee.

Liability Waiver

While we take every possible measure to ensure Attendee safety at the Seminar, we can not control everything. For this reason, Attendee is legally responsible for their safety and behavior and agrees to, and is held legally liable to, the following statements:

I, the willing Attendee of the Seminar, hereby accept all risk to my health and of my injury or death that may result from participating in the Seminar and I hereby release Promoter, Kiana Laurin Tralongo, and their officers, employees, interns, contractors, sponsors and representatives from any and all liability to me, my personal representatives, estate, heirs, next of kin, and assigns for any and all claims and causes of action for loss of or damage to my property and for any and all illness or injury to my person, including my death, that may result from or occur during my participation at the Seminar, whether caused by negligence of the Promoter, its governing board, officers, employees, or representatives, or otherwise. I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless Promoter, Kiana Laurin Tralongo and any third-party company from liability for the injury or death of any person(s) and damage to property that may result from my negligent or intentional act or omission while attending and participating in the Seminar. Under no circumstances will Promoter or Kiana Laurin Tralongo or their assigns be held liability for my injury or death or any loss or damage of my personal belongings resulting from my participation in the Seminar. Should I require emergency medical treatment as a result of accident or illness arising during my attendance and participation in the Seminar, I consent to such treatment. I acknowledge and I agree to be financially responsible for any medical or legal bills that may be incurred as a result of emergency medical treatment. I will notify Promoter verbally and in writing if I am at any time injured prior to, during, or after the Seminar in my travels or attendance, or if I have medical conditions about which emergency medical personnel should be informed; however, I understand that Promoter is not legally obligated to act on that information in any way or to providing any medical service whatsoever to me. I agree that if I have any medical or psychological conditions that may hamper me from fully and healthfully participating in the Seminar that I will notify the Promoter and that the Promoter retains the right to ask that I not participate in portions of or the entirety of the Seminar.

Liability Disclaimer: No Professional Advice

The information contained in or made available by the Promoter, Kiana Laurin Tralongo, or any third-party through the Seminar or their websites or services cannot replace or substitute for the services of trained professionals in any field, including, but not limited to, mental, financial, medical, psychological, or legal fields. Promoter does not offer any professional personal, medical, financial or legal advice and none of the information contained in the Seminar should be confused as such advice. Neither Promoter, Kiana Laurin Tralongo nor their assigns, sponsors, speakers, partners, contractors or any of their affiliates will be liable for any direct, indirect, consequential, special, exemplary or other damages to the Attendee or the Attendee’s business, including economic loss, that may result from participation in the Seminar or from the use of, or the inability to use, the materials, information, or strategies communicated through the Seminar or any products or services provided pursuant to the Seminar, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Under no circumstances, including but not limited to negligence, will Promoter or Kiana Laurin Tralongo be liable for any special or consequential damages that result from Attendee’s participation in the Seminar. To be clear: You, the Attendee, alone are responsible and accountable for your decisions, actions and results in life, and by your participation in our Seminar, you agree not to attempt to hold us, the Promoter or Kiana Laurin Tralongo, liable for any decisions, actions or results that you make or experience in business or in life due to your participation in this Seminar at any time, under any circumstance.

Confidentiality and Non-Compete

Attendee hereby understands that the tools, processes, strategies, materials and information presented in the Seminar are confidential, copyrighted, and proprietary to the Promoter and agrees not to record, duplicate, distribute, teach or train from the Seminar materials in any manner whatsoever without the express written permission of Promoter. Any unauthorized use or distribution of these proprietary concepts, materials, and intellectual property by you or your representatives is prohibited and Promoter will pursue legal action and full damages if these terms are violated in order to protect its rights.

Adult Content

During our Seminar, we will discuss several adult topics relating to personal and professional growth. We will also occasionally use adult or profane language to emphasize a point or connect with or surprise the audience (though we will never be lewd, and we will always use tact and discretion in doing so). Participants who are uncomfortable with such topics or language should not attend the Seminar.

Audio/Visual Rules and Release

Attendees may not, under any circumstance, use any type of recording device to capture the information provided at the Seminar. No recording devices, photography or videography is allowed in the Seminar room.

By participating in the Seminar, Attendee understands that portions of the Seminar’s live events may be recorded in video and audio and/or captured in still and/or digital photographs by the Promoter. Attendee agrees that the Promoter and its assigns have the right and permission to use such recordings and photographs should they include Attendee’s name, likeness, voice, biographical details, testimonial, or photograph for marketing, advertising or any other purpose in any media or format, online and/or offline, now or hereafter without further compensation, permission, or notification to the Attendee. Attendee understands and agrees that all recordings from the Promoter’s events are the exclusive rights of the Promoter and Attendee does not ask for or expect compensation for the use of recordings or photographs in which Attendee appears or speaks. Promoter owns all rights of any audio, video, and/or photograph captured during the Promoter’s Seminar or at any of the Promoter’s other live events.

By visiting our event sites and participating in the Seminar, Attendees acknowledge and agree that they are subject to the Privacy Policies and Terms of Use of the promoter, which are listed at: https://gratusconnecting.com /terms

Cancellation Policy

Once Attendee registers for the Seminar, we make extensive arrangements and investments while anticipating their tuition and attendance, and, in the case of their cancellation, we incur significant administration hassles, expenses, and loss of business. Given this fact, we do not accept cancellations or issue refunds beginning 3 days after Attendee has registered for the Seminar. If Attendees cancels within 3 days of registering they will receive a full refund, but any Attendee seeking to cancel their registration after 3 days will not, under any circumstances, receive a refund. Again, this is due to the extremely limited seating for an event of this nature and with this caliber of speakers. If you are unsure of whether or not you can attend the event, do not register. If for whatever reason you are unable to attend the event after you have registered and after 10 days have passed since registering, we will happily transfer your ticket to someone else or allow you to attend a future Kiana Laurin Tralongo and/or Gratus Connecting, LLC event on the same topic at our sole discretion.

Earnings Disclaimer

We’ve taken every effort to ensure we accurately represent our products & services and its potential to help you achieve success and/or grow your business. However, there is no guarantee that you will earn any money or achieve success using the techniques you learn or have implemented. Nothing on our websites and communications is a promise or guarantee of earnings. Your level of success in attaining similar results discussed is dependent upon a number of factors including your skill, knowledge, ability, dedication, business savvy, network, and financial situation. Because these factors differ according to individuals, we cannot guarantee your success, income level, or ability to earn revenue. You alone are responsible for your actions and results in life and business. Any forward-looking statements outlined on our sites or in our Seminar are simply our expectations or forecasts for future potential, and thus are not guarantees or promises for actual performance. These statements are simply our opinion. As stipulated by FTC law, we make no guarantees that you will achieve any results from our ideas, products, or services, and we offer no professional, legal, psychological or financial advice.

Satisfaction Guarantee

As stated on our Site and in our marketing materials, we guarantee that Attendees will be 100% satisfied with the Seminar should they attend the entire event. Satisfaction is defined as the Attendees belief that we have delivered on what we have promised in promoting the Event based on our Event registration site(s). If Attendees are not satisfied at the conclusion of the event after having attended the entire event, and they notify us in the manner described herein, we will refund their tuition to the Event. Participants who are not satisfied with the Event must, at the immediate conclusion of the Event, verbally notify one of our staff members of their dissatisfaction. Unsatisfied Attendees must also turn in all of their course materials as well as their personal notes taken from the Event. In some cases an Unsatisfied Attendee may be asked to submit a letter explaining their reasons. Any reimbursements will be made within 30 days of the event. All reimbursements are at the sole discretion of the Promoter and all Promoter decisions are final and binding. Any statements of dissatisfaction or requests for refunds received after 24 hours of the event will not qualify for this guarantee. Any reimbursement provided will cover ONLY the cost of admission and will not include travel, lodging & meal expenses.

Note: A guarantee represents a promise about the quality of services delivered; if an attendee never experienced the services (i.e. attends the Seminar), the guarantee obviously does not apply. Further, the guarantee cannot be substituted or confused with the Cancellation Policy.
