MASTER AGREEMENT

TERMS & CONDITIONS

Mastery ELITE Family Programs

Rich Guzzi | Hypnosis World

Welcome to the ELITE Family

Welcome to the Mastery ELITE Family Programs. These Terms & Conditions establish a clear, professional, and legally binding relationship between you (“Client”) and Rich Guzzi / Hypnosis World (“Company”).

Your enrollment constitutes full acceptance of these terms.

Please read them carefully.

WELCOME PREFACE

We’re truly excited to have you here and honored that you’ve chosen to invest in yourself through the transformational work offered by Rich Guzzi and Hypnosis World. Our goal is to create an extraordinary experience built on growth, momentum, professionalism, and genuine support.

This Agreement exists to protect you, us, and the entire community. It ensures fairness, clarity, and consistency — and helps us deliver the world-class level of training and service you signed up for.

Most clients never need to think twice about the legal terms. They show up, participate fully, and enjoy the results.

This document simply outlines the expectations for all participants and helps us maintain the integrity and quality of the Program. Think of it as the structure that protects the amazing community you are now a part of.

We are thrilled to support you on your journey. Let’s get started!

CLIENT COMMITMENT CODE

As a valued member of the Mastery ELITE Family, you agree to the following commitments that will help you get the most out of your experience and contribute positively to the community:

1. Commit to Your Growth

You’re here because you’re ready to elevate your skills, mindset, business, and personal power. Show up for yourself — the Program works when you do.

2. Respect the Community

Every member is on their own journey. We honor each other’s wins, challenges, and experiences with respect, professionalism, and confidentiality.

3. Engage With Integrity

Interact honestly and respectfully with fellow participants, community hosts, and instructors. Integrity is one of the cornerstones of excellence.

4. Use the Materials Responsibly

All Program materials are proprietary and created with care. Please use them for your own development — not to teach, sell, or share externally.

5. Communicate Openly

If you have questions, concerns, or need assistance, reach out. We’re here to help, and open communication ensures clarity and progress.

6. Honor Your Commitment

Your enrollment is a full-program purchase, and your investment reflects your dedication. Financial and participation commitments help us maintain the high quality and consistency of the Program for everyone.

7. Celebrate Progress

No improvement is too small to celebrate. Wins, breakthroughs, and growth moments are what make this journey worth it.

8. Represent Yourself and the Program Positively

You are now part of a high-caliber community. Your actions reflect your own professionalism — and we respect and appreciate that.

1. Your Purchase & Your Commitment

1.1 What You Are Purchasing. When you enroll in the Program, you are purchasing a complete, full-value training package that includes a combination of education, coaching, digital assets, support, tools, and proprietary resources. This is not a subscription, trial, or month-to-month membership. It is a full program purchase, similar to enrolling in a semester of school, buying a course, or reserving a training package.

You receive access to the Program as a whole — not as individual à la carte components.

1.2 Payment Plans Explained (Friendly Clarification). We offer payment plans as a courtesy to make the Program more accessible. Think of a payment plan as a financing option — just like paying for a car, a certification, or a professional training program over time.

To keep everything crystal clear:

A payment plan does not mean you’re paying “as you go.”
A payment plan does not function like a subscription you can cancel.
A payment plan is simply a way to divide the total Program price into multiple payments.

Once you enroll, the full Program fee becomes your responsibility.

1.3 Commitment Regardless of Participation. We want you to get tremendous value, and we encourage you to take full advantage of everything included. However, your financial obligation is based on your purchase of the Program, not on your level of attendance or how much of the material you choose to use.

Friendly explanation: Just like college tuition or an event ticket, the commitment remains the same whether you attend every class or miss a few.

1.4 No Cancellation of Financial Obligation. You understand and agree that:

you cannot cancel your payments;
stopping participation does not stop your payment plan;
dissatisfaction or non-use does not change the financial obligation;
changes in personal, business, financial, or life circumstances do not cancel the remaining balance;
and once enrolled, you are fully responsible for the total Program price.

This protects fairness, integrity, and consistency for all clients — including you.

1.5 Your Program Begins Immediately. As soon as you enroll, the Program begins delivering value through:

portal access,
training materials,
digital resources,
community access,
coaching opportunities,
and other proprietary assets.

The moment any part of the Program is delivered or made accessible, your enrollment is fully activated and the financial agreement is fully in effect.

1.6 A Friendly Note About Commitment. We believe in long-term success, and we’ve designed this Program to create meaningful transformation when you show up and participate. This Agreement simply ensures that:

your commitment matches the Program’s structure,
everyone is treated fairly,
and we can deliver consistent, high-level support to all participants.

Your decision to join reflects your investment in your growth — and we are honored to support you in that journey.

1.7 Survival. Your obligation to complete payment survives:

completion of the Program,
withdrawal or removal,
non-use,
missed sessions,
or any dispute.

This ensures total clarity and fairness for every participant in the Program.

2. Delivery of Program Assets & What “Delivered” Really Means

2.1 Understanding When Delivery Occurs. We want to make sure you always feel fully informed about what you’re receiving and when the Program is officially considered “delivered.” To keep things simple and fair, delivery occurs the moment any component of the Program is made available to you — even if you choose not to access it immediately.

This ensures clarity for everyone and allows us to provide immediate value right from the start.

2.2 What Counts as Delivery (Friendly Explanation). Because our Programs include a variety of resources, tools, and experiences, “delivery” covers a wide range of assets, including (but not limited to):

access to the online training portal
course modules, lessons, and video content
Zoom links and access to live or recorded sessions
group coaching calls
downloadable or streamable digital content
hypnosis audio programs
templates, workbooks, worksheets, and scripts
private community access
messaging channels or support communities
done-for-you tools, graphics, funnels, websites, or digital assets
event access, calendars, or scheduling links
checklists, guides, or planning tools

If even one of these is delivered or made accessible, the Program is considered delivered for legal and financial purposes.

Friendly comparison: It’s similar to enrolling in a college course — once the semester begins and you have access to the materials, the course is officially delivered, even if you choose your own pace.

2.3 Delivery Does Not Depend On Usage. Whether you choose to access, download, watch, attend, or utilize the Program materials immediately (or at all) is completely up to you.

However:

➡️ Delivery is based on access — not on your personal usage, scheduling, or participation. ➡️ Your financial obligation continues regardless of how much or how little you use the Program.

This protects fairness and consistency for all participants.

2.4 Digital Delivery Is Instant & Permanent. Most components of the Program begin delivering automatically through:

your portal login;
your welcome email;
your access links;
or instant delivery of digital materials.

Because digital assets cannot be returned once accessed (or even once seen), delivery is considered complete once those materials are made available, even if not downloaded.

2.5 Live Training Delivery. When your Program includes live events, coaching, or group sessions:

providing you access to the event or call
sending you the links
opening registration
or making replay recordings available

all constitute delivery of that Program component.

You are never required to attend every session — the value is delivered through access.

2.6 Done-For-You Deliverables. If your Program includes done-for-you items such as:

website builds
funnel builds
branding work
technical setups
graphics or assets
scripts or templates
AI workflows
business planning tools

delivery is considered complete the moment:

an initial draft is delivered,
access is granted,
files are shared,
or work begins.

Friendly explanation: Once the work starts, you are receiving the benefit of the deliverable — even if you request edits or refinements later.

2.7 Delivery = Acceptance of Terms. By accessing, opening, logging into, or taking delivery of any Program asset, you acknowledge and agree that:

the Program is considered delivered;
your payment obligations remain in full force;
the no-refund/no-cancellation policy applies;
and the terms of this Agreement are fully binding.

This ensures clarity and protects all parties.

2.8 Survival. This Delivery section remains enforceable:

after Program completion;
after removal or withdrawal;
during any dispute;
and regardless of personal changes.

Clarity helps everyone succeed — and we are committed to providing that clarity every step of the way.

3. No Refunds, No Cancellations & Clear Expectations

3.1 A Clear, Friendly Understanding. We believe in being transparent from the very beginning so you always know exactly what you’re investing in. When you join the Program, you’re not purchasing “month-to-month access” — you’re purchasing a complete training and development package, delivered through multiple components and formats.

To keep everything fair and consistent for all participants, you agree that:

all sales are final;
there are no refunds of any kind;
and your enrollment cannot be canceled once processed.

This ensures fairness for everyone and allows us to provide world-class training without uncertainty or instability.

3.2 Why Refunds Aren’t Possible (Friendly Explanation). Once you enroll, you immediately receive access to proprietary materials, systems, and digital assets that cannot be “returned.” This includes (depending on your Program):

online portal access
digital downloads
training recordings
scripts, templates, and worksheets
live or recorded session access
private community access
done-for-you or personalized materials
and other proprietary intellectual property

Because access is delivered immediately, and because Program assets cannot be taken back or “unseen,” refunds are not offered.

This is the same standard used by universities, seminars, coaching programs, and digital education platforms.

3.3 Payment Plans Are NOT Memberships. We offer payment plans as a courtesy to help more people participate. A payment plan is simply a way to pay off the total program fee over time.

Friendly reminder:

➡️ A payment plan does not mean you are paying “as you go.” ➡️ It does not mean you can cancel if you stop participating. ➡️ It does not function like a subscription you can turn on or off.

Once you are enrolled, the full Program fee becomes your responsibility — just like financing a class, event, course, or professional certification.

3.4 No Credits, Rollovers, or Transfers. To maintain consistency for everyone, the following are not permitted:

refund credits
partial refunds
course exchanges
transfers to other people
rollovers to future programs
converting payments to different services

This allows us to allocate resources effectively and ensures fairness across all clients.

3.5 Changes in Circumstances Do Not Alter the Agreement. We understand that life can change unexpectedly. However, personal circumstances — including schedule conflicts, travel, illness, family emergencies, financial changes, or any other challenges — do not change your financial obligations.

Friendly explanation: We set aside resources, support, and infrastructure for each client the moment they join, and we honor that commitment fully. This section simply ensures the commitment goes both ways.

3.6 No Refunds for Program Non-Use. Whether or not you choose to:

log into the portal
attend sessions
engage in the community
use the materials
complete the curriculum

your financial obligation remains the same.

Friendly comparison: Just like a semester of college, a gym membership, or a conference ticket — non-use does not change the cost, because the resources, access, and materials have already been delivered.

3.7 Positive, Supportive Intent. This policy is not meant to be harsh — it’s meant to:

protect the integrity of the Program;
maintain fairness to all participants;
keep the training sustainable;
ensure consistent standards;
and allow us to maintain a high level of support and delivery.

We want you to succeed, and our goal is always to provide exceptional value and a world-class experience.

3.8 Survival. These terms remain enforceable:

after withdrawal or removal;
after Program completion;
even if you stop participating;
regardless of personal or financial changes.

This ensures clarity, consistency, and fairness for all.

4. No Chargebacks, Payment Disputes & Fairness Commitments

4.1 A Simple Understanding About Payments. We value transparency, trust, and a great working relationship. To keep everything fair for all members, you agree that once you enroll in the Program:

the payments you authorize are final;
the Program is not a “subscription” that can be canceled;
and payment plans are simply a courtesy financing option — not an escape hatch.

We want you to succeed, and these guidelines help us keep the Program affordable, sustainable, and fair for everyone.

4.2 Friendly Explanation of Why Chargebacks Are Not Allowed. Chargebacks were designed to protect consumers from fraudulent merchants — not to cancel agreements you willingly entered. Because our Programs deliver digital assets, training, community, access, and proprietary materials immediately:

➡️ A chargeback would be the same as taking delivery and refusing to pay. (We know you wouldn’t do that — but this section protects the Program.)

For that reason, you agree not to initiate:

chargebacks
payment disputes
reversals
or attempts to “undo” payments

with your bank or payment provider for any reason related to this Agreement.

4.3 What Happens if a Chargeback Is Attempted. If a chargeback is initiated (even accidentally), we must treat it seriously. In the event of a dispute, reversal, or forced return of funds:

your Program access will be paused immediately;
any discounts or bonuses may be voided;
the entire remaining balance of your Program fee may become due immediately;
the Company may submit all documentation showing your authorized purchase;
and we may pursue collections or legal remedies as described in Section 5.

We hope this never happens — 99% of clients never come close to this.

This clause protects the experience and integrity of the Program for everyone involved.

4.4 Working Things Out First (The Preferred Option). If you are ever unhappy, confused, or struggling, we want to help.

We ask — kindly and professionally — that you allow us to resolve concerns directly before involving your bank or card provider.

Most issues can be resolved with a conversation, and we’re always happy to help clarify anything.

4.5 No Withholding or Offsetting Payments. You agree that you will not attempt to:

cancel your card
dispute payments
block transactions
or intentionally disrupt the billing process

in order to interrupt your payment plan.

Remember: your payment plan isn’t a membership — it’s simply a way to spread out the cost of the Program you’ve already purchased.

4.6 Documentation & Proof of Authorization. To comply with bank standards, you acknowledge that:

all payments are voluntarily authorized by you;
all purchases include digital records of enrollment, checkboxes, timestamps, and IP confirmation;
such records may be used as evidence if a dispute arises;
and electronic acceptance carries the same legal force as a handwritten signature.

4.7 Survival. Your obligations under this Section remain enforceable:

after Program completion;
after withdrawal or removal;
after access ends;
and regardless of any disagreement.

This ensures fairness, clarity, and stability for all participants.

5. Default, Payment Issues & Friendly-but-Formal Legal Remedies

5.1 What “Default” Means (Explained Simply). We understand that life happens — but for fairness to everyone, including you, we must define “default” clearly.

You will be considered in default under this Agreement if:

any scheduled payment is missed, declined, reversed, or returned;
a payment method expires and is not updated promptly;
you attempt to pause, cancel, or dispute a scheduled payment without written approval;
you initiate a chargeback or otherwise interfere with payment processing;
you fail to uphold agreed-upon financial terms for any reason.

Default does not mean you are a bad person — it simply means the payment agreement has been disrupted and must be corrected.

5.2 Our First Approach: Communication & Solutions. Before anything escalates, we will always attempt to resolve payment issues collaboratively and respectfully. This includes:

notifying you of the failed payment;
giving you an opportunity to update your information;
working together to bring the account current.

Most clients resolve issues quickly and easily — and we appreciate that.

5.3 If Default Continues: Pause in Access. If payment is not resolved in a timely manner, the Company may temporarily:

pause Program access;
restrict entry into coaching sessions or community groups;
suspend access to digital materials, portals, and assets.

This is not a punishment — it simply prevents further access until the account is restored to good standing.

5.4 Acceleration of Balance (Legal Requirement). If default remains unresolved, the Company may, at its sole discretion:

declare the entire remaining balance immediately due and payable.

This is a standard legal provision similar to financing agreements for events, coaching programs, courses, or other multi-component services.

5.5 Collections, If Necessary (We Hope Never). If payments still remain unresolved, the Company may:

send the account to a professional collections agency;
pursue legal remedies for the full amount owed;
seek reimbursement for reasonable attorney fees, court costs, and collection expenses.

We want to avoid this, and we genuinely hope this step is never needed — it exists only to protect the Program and its members.

5.6 No Refunds or Reduction of Obligation. You understand and agree that:

non-use of the Program,
dissatisfaction,
changes in personal circumstances,
inability to attend sessions,
or withdrawal from participation

does not cancel your financial obligation or reduce the balance owed.

Friendly explanation: This Program is like purchasing a home-study course, college semester, or professional training bundle — once access is delivered, payment is due in full regardless of usage.

5.7 Restoration of Access. We are always happy to welcome you back into the Program once the account is brought current.

Restoration includes:

community access;
digital portal access;
training sessions;
and any additional Program components.

No penalties, no grudges — just a return to forward progress.

5.8 Survival. Your payment obligations and the Company’s rights in the event of default remain enforceable:

after removal or withdrawal;
after program expiration;
even if you stop participating;
regardless of any dispute.

These provisions ensure consistency and fairness for all participants.

6. No Guarantees, Earnings Disclaimer & Educational-Use Notice

You acknowledge and agree that any information you have received from Rich Guzzi, Hypnosis World, or any affiliated program—whether through a live class, webinar, workshop, training, conversation, consultation, email, text message, social media post, article, marketing material, or any other communication—has been provided strictly for informational, educational, and illustrative purposes only.

You further acknowledge that your success is fully dependent on your own effort, and that no materials, coaching, training, or information provided should be assumed to automatically generate results.

The intellectual property protections herein remain enforceable in perpetuity.

8. Confidentiality, Non-Disclosure, and Protection of Proprietary Information

8.1 Definition of Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” includes, without limitation:

all Program materials, documents, frameworks, strategies, methodologies, systems, processes, formulas, scripts, templates, worksheets, workflows, coaching tools, and instructional content;

Confidential Information includes both tangible and intangible information, regardless of format.

8.2 Client’s Duty of Confidentiality. You agree to maintain the strict confidentiality of all Confidential Information and to:

a. use such information solely for your own personal learning and development — not for teaching, training others, consulting, coaching, content creation, or business purposes; b. prevent disclosure, copying, distribution, duplication, screenshotting, or reproduction of any Confidential Information; c. safeguard access credentials and prevent unauthorized use of the Program by third parties; d. notify the Company immediately of any known or suspected breach, misuse, or unauthorized disclosure.

You agree that:

the identities, comments, personal shares, and emotional disclosures of participants shall never be revealed;

group screenshots, session recordings, or chat logs shall not be captured or distributed.

Violations of this subsection are considered extremely serious and will be pursued legally.

8.5 Ownership of Confidential Information. All Confidential Information remains the exclusive property of the Company. No license, ownership, or transfer of intellectual property rights is granted to you under any circumstances.

8.6 Legal Remedies for Breach. You acknowledge that unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information will cause the Company immediate and irreparable harm, for which monetary damages may be inadequate. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach:

the Company may recover compensatory damages, statutory damages, lost profits, and punitive damages;

all Confidential Information must be deleted or returned;

8.10 Survival. Your confidentiality obligations under this Section shall survive:

completion of the Program;
termination or withdrawal;
default or non-payment;
expiration of access;
and any dispute between the parties.

Confidentiality obligations remain enforceable in perpetuity.

TRADE SECRET ENFORCEMENT ADDENDUM

all initial fees;
all installment payments;

all outstanding balances;
and all other financial obligations arising under this Agreement.

This authorization remains valid until all amounts owed are paid in full, regardless of your level of participation, continued access, or withdrawal from the Program.

11.3 Obligation to Maintain Valid Payment Method. You agree to maintain accurate, complete, and valid billing information for the entire duration of your financial obligation. You further agree to:

update your payment method immediately upon expiration, decline, or replacement;
ensure sufficient funds or credit availability to cover scheduled payments;
provide an alternate method of payment upon request if any charge is unsuccessful.

Failure to maintain a valid payment method constitutes a material breach of this Agreement.

11.4 Authorization to Retry Failed Charges. In the event a payment attempt fails, you authorize the Company to:

reattempt the charge multiple times;
process the transaction using any other payment method on file;
initiate alternative billing methods (including ACH/eCheck) if previously provided;
or request updated payment information from you.

These retries may occur at varying intervals and frequencies at the Company’s discretion.

late fees;
administrative fees;
bank or processor fees;
interest on overdue balances at the maximum rate allowed by law;

the Company may immediately suspend, restrict, or revoke all Program access, including but not limited to online portals, course materials, communities, live sessions, and done-for-you assets;
such suspension does not eliminate or reduce your financial obligation;
access may be reinstated solely at the Company’s discretion after payment is fully resolved.

11.7 Personal Liability for All Payments. You acknowledge and agree that:

you are personally responsible for all payments due under this Agreement;
your obligation to pay survives withdrawal, removal, or cessation of participation;
changes in financial circumstances do not relieve you of the obligation to complete payment.

If you are enrolling on behalf of a business entity, you personally guarantee all payments unless the Company expressly agrees otherwise in writing.

11.8 No Right to Withhold, Offset, or Dispute Payments. You may not withhold payments, offset amounts owed, initiate disputes, or deny charges for any reason related to:

dissatisfaction with the Program;
non-use of Program materials;

personal, financial, or business circumstances;
any change or modification of the Program format.

Your payment obligations are unconditional and irrevocable.

a breach of this Agreement;
an improper attempt to circumvent agreed-upon payment terms;
and may be treated as a form of fraud or theft of services.

If a chargeback is initiated:

your Program access will be immediately revoked;
all remaining payments become immediately due in full;
the Company may pursue legal remedies, including collections, damages, attorney fees, and costs.

11.10 Continued Liability After Termination. Termination, expiration, or completion of the Program—regardless of the cause—does not relieve you of:

outstanding payment obligations;
accrued late fees or interest;
collection costs or legal fees.

The obligation to pay is absolute and survives all other provisions of this Agreement.
