Terms of Use
The short version: use the site honestly. You own what you publish and the audience you build, and you can export both and leave whenever you want. We sell education, not income promises. No forced arbitration, no class-action waiver, and 30 days notice before any material change. The longer version follows, and we wrote it to be read.
1. Who We Are and What These Terms Cover
These Terms of Use govern your use of empowernetwork.com, our content, our products, and any account you create with us (together, “the Services”). “Empower Network,” “we,” and “us” mean the company operating this website. By using the Services you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
2. Accounts
You are responsible for your account, your password, and everything done under your login. Give us accurate information, keep it current, and tell us right away if you think your account has been compromised. You must be at least 18 to create an account or make a purchase.
3. Purchases, Subscriptions, and Billing
Plain English: you see the price before you pay, you can cancel any time, and we never change what you already paid. Prices are shown at the point of purchase. Subscriptions bill on a recurring basis until you cancel. You can cancel at any time, and your access continues through the end of the period you paid for. Our Refund Policy explains refunds, including the 30-day money-back guarantee on one-time course purchases. If we change a subscription price, the new price applies only to future billing periods, and we will tell you before it takes effect.
4. Restored Course Access (the Give-Back)
Plain English: if you bought courses from the original company, we restore them free, on the honor system. If you purchased courses from the original Empower Network (2011–2017), we restore access to those courses free of charge on request. The original customer database no longer exists, so restored access is granted on an honor basis at our discretion. It is a goodwill gesture, not a purchased product, and carries no warranty or service commitment.
5. Your Content and Your Audience
Plain English: what you publish is yours, and the audience you build is yours. If the Services let you publish content (posts, comments, profiles), you own what you create. Subscribers who follow you or join your list through the Services are your audience, not our asset. By publishing through the Services you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, and distribute that content, but only as needed to operate the Services. That license ends for a piece of content when you delete it, except for copies already shared by others or held briefly in routine backups. You are responsible for what you publish: nothing illegal, deceptive, infringing, or hateful, and no income claims that violate our Income Disclaimer standards.
6. Portability: You Can Always Leave
Plain English: you can export your content and your subscriber list and walk away, and we will not make it hard. “Own your audience” is the founding idea of this company, so we are putting it in the contract. On request, we will give you a usable copy of the content you published and the subscriber list you built through the Services, in a common machine-readable format. We will not charge for a reasonable export, delay it as a retention tactic, or degrade it to keep you here. This applies whether you are staying, leaving, or have already cancelled.
7. Our Content
The Services, our courses, our training, and our branding are owned by us or licensed to us. You may not copy, resell, redistribute, or share access to paid products. What you learn is yours to use. The materials themselves are not yours to republish.
8. Acceptable Use
Do not: break the law using the Services; scrape, attack, overload, or try to breach the Services; impersonate others; send spam using anything you obtain from us; or use our products to deceive people. We may suspend or terminate accounts that do.
9. Termination
Plain English: you can quit any time; if we close your account, we tell you why and you still get your data, unless you were breaking the law or abusing people. You may stop using the Services at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access for violating these terms. If we terminate your account for cause, we will tell you the specific reason and give you a reasonable window to export your content and subscriber list under section 6. One exception: accounts terminated for illegal content, fraud, or abuse of other people may lose that export window where the law or the safety of others requires it. Sections that by their nature survive termination (ownership of your content, disclaimers, limitation of liability) survive.
10. If We Ever Wind Down
Plain English: if this service ever shuts down, paying users get at least 60 days notice and export access the whole time. The original Empower Network shut down and people lost access to what they had bought. We will not repeat that. If we ever discontinue the Services, paying users will get at least 60 days advance notice, and export of your content and subscriber list will stay available through that entire period.
11. Disclaimers
The Services are provided “as is” and “as available.” We make no warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not promise the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free. Nothing on this site is professional advice, and no outcome, including any financial outcome, is guaranteed. See our Income Disclaimer.
12. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, or goodwill. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Services is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose. Some places do not allow parts of this limitation, so parts of it may not apply to you.
13. Disputes: No Forced Arbitration, No Class-Action Waiver
Plain English: we do not take away your right to sue us or to join a class action. Most terms like these push disputes into private arbitration and ban class actions. Ours do not, on purpose. If we have a dispute, contact us first and give us a real chance to fix it, because that is almost always faster for you. But you keep your right to bring a claim in court, including small claims court, and you keep your right to participate in a class action.
14. Changes to These Terms
Plain English: material changes get 30 days notice, and you can cancel before they apply to you. We may update these terms. Small fixes (typos, clarifications) take effect when posted, with the date below updated. Material changes will be announced on the site at least 30 days before they take effect, and by email if you have an account. If you do not accept a material change, cancel before its effective date and it will never apply to you. Continued use after the effective date means acceptance.
15. Governing Law and Contact
These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where the operating company is organized, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. When that registration is finalized we will name the jurisdiction here, because you should not have to guess. Questions about these terms: use the contact information on this site.
