Mindset S.H.I.F.T. may take appropriate action, which may include a warning, removal from an activity,
suspension, or termination of participation, consistent with applicable law and program policies.
4. Academy Materials & Intellectual Property
Curriculum, lesson materials, worksheets, presentations, videos, recordings, activities, exercises, templates,

Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of Academy Materials to a student. Any rights not expressly granted
remain with the respective owner.
5. Confidentiality & Privacy
Mentorship may involve personal experiences, goals, challenges, ideas, or other information shared by students
or participants. Students agree to use discretion and respect the confidentiality of information shared by others
within Academy spaces.
Students should not record, screenshot, photograph, copy, or distribute private conversations, coaching
discussions, or another student’s personal information without appropriate permission. This section does not
prohibit disclosures required by law or disclosures made for legitimate safety concerns.
6. Participation, Results & Educational Disclaimer
The Academy provides mentorship, education, encouragement, and personal-development support. It is not a
substitute for medical, mental-health, legal, financial, or other licensed professional advice. Students are
responsible for evaluating information and making their own decisions.
Mindset S.H.I.F.T. does not promise or guarantee a particular personal, academic, professional, business,
financial, or other outcome. Each student’s experience and results may differ based on individual circumstances,
participation, implementation, and factors outside the Academy’s control.
7. Program Schedule & Program Changes
The Academy schedule, speakers, activities, delivery format, and program details may occasionally need to
change because of scheduling, availability, technology, safety, or circumstances outside the program’s control.
When reasonably possible, students and/or parents or guardians will be notified of material changes.
Access to the Academy is provided according to the enrollment terms and program information communicated at
registration. Any payment, cancellation, transfer, refund, or attendance policy applicable to a student is governed
by the policy presented at enrollment or in the applicable registration materials.
8. Refund & Course Date Transfer Policy
All Academy fees are non-refundable. Refunds will not be issued for cancellations, changes in plans, missed
sessions, or inability to attend the originally scheduled course date. However, at the discretion of Mindset
S.H.I.F.T., fees paid may be transferred to a later scheduled Mindset S.H.I.F.T. Experience Academy course date.
Any transfer is subject to course availability and must be requested in advance of the originally scheduled course
date. A transfer of fees does not create a right to a cash refund.
9. Technology & Online Participation
When Academy activities are delivered online, students are responsible for having a suitable device, internet
connection, and access to the communication or learning platform identified by the Academy. Students must
protect their login information and may not knowingly allow unauthorized individuals to access student-only
Academy resources.

current emergency contact information and any information reasonably necessary for the student’s safe
participation.
