The Program runs for a duration of 90 days from the date of enrollment and provides structured training, community access, and instruction as described on the enrollment/checkout page. Any live events offered as part of the Program do not roll over if unattended.
Payment is due in full, one time, at the time of enrollment. As of the date of this Agreement, this is the only payment option available. The Company may in the future offer additional payment options (such as installment or financing plans through third-party providers); if and when offered, those options will be reflected on the applicable checkout page and are governed by Section 8 below.
The price is listed on the checkout page provided to you during enrollment.
You agree that no pauses or suspensions of payment will be made once this Agreement is signed.

Pauses and suspensions are at the sole discretion of the Company.

6. AUTOMATIC RENEWAL (For Recurring Payments)

At the end of the 90-day Program term, you will have the option — but are under no obligation — to continue on a recurring monthly membership plan at the then-current monthly rate disclosed to you prior to renewal.
If you affirmatively opt in to the recurring monthly plan, the following terms apply:

• Your membership will automatically renew every month unless canceled prior to the next renewal date.

• The monthly fee will be charged to the payment method on file unless updated by you.

• You may cancel your recurring membership at any time through the member portal or by emailing shihengchou@gmail.com before the next billing date to avoid the following month's charge.

• If you do not cancel prior to the renewal date, your membership will continue for another monthly term under the same terms and conditions.

• The initial 90-day Program fee is separate from, and not a deposit toward, the recurring monthly membership fee.

7. THIRD-PARTY FINANCING PROVIDERS 

The Company may offer customers the option to utilize third-party financing providers, such as [EXAMPLES, e.g., Affirm, Klarna], to facilitate payment for products or services. By choosing to finance a purchase through one of these providers, you acknowledge and agree to the following terms:

• Independent Agreement: Any financing agreement entered into with a third-party financing provider is an independent agreement between you and the respective provider. The Company is not a party to any financing arrangement and does not influence or control the terms, approval process, or conditions set by these providers.
• Payment Responsibility: You are solely responsible for complying with the payment terms established by the third-party financing provider. The Company is not responsible for any late fees, interest charges, penalties, or other obligations arising from your agreement with the financing provider.
• No Liability: The Company is not liable for any disputes, claims, or issues that may arise between you and the financing provider, including but not limited to credit decisions, payment processing errors, or changes in financing terms. Any concerns or disputes regarding financing should be directed to the respective third-party provider.
• Non-Refundable Transactions: Payments made through third-party financing providers remain subject to the Company’s refund and cancellation policies. Approval of financing does not alter the refund eligibility of your purchase as outlined in our Terms and Conditions.

8. DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

The Company makes no guarantees regarding specific outcomes, skill level, rank, or results from participation in the Program, including in relation to physical fitness, martial arts proficiency, or personal development.
You acknowledge that your results depend on individual effort, physical condition, consistency of practice, and other factors beyond the Company's control.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages arising from your participation in the Program. This limitation is in addition to, and does not replace, the assumption of risk and release provisions in Section 4.

9. FORCE MAJEURE

The Company shall not be held responsible for delays or failure in performance resulting from acts beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, government restrictions, pandemics, cyber-attacks, or labor disputes.
