Box 4422, United Arab Emirates, and having a license number 17013, and its related companies and affiliates (POL, the “Company,” “us,” “our,” or "we") and you ("you" or “your”), designed to enable users who identify as members, etc. (“Members”) to access several tools and services, and mentors (“Mentors”) services, and meet other Members to help facilitate the growth or evolution of their spiritual and financial goals.
Please read this terms of service agreement (“Agreement”) carefully. This website and any other websites of POL, its affiliates or agents on which a link to these terms of service appear (collectively, the “website”) and the information on it are controlled by POL. This agreement governs your use of the website, our mobile applications (“apps”), and the services, information, and content, available or enabled via the website or app (collectively, with the apps and the website, the “services”). By clicking on the “I accept” button, completing the registration process, downloading an app, or accessing or using any of the services, you represent that (1) you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by this agreement, (2) you are of legal age to form a binding contract with POL, and (3) you have the authority to enter into the Agreement personally or on behalf of the individual named as the user at the time of registration, or if you are entering into this agreement on behalf of a legal entity, you have the authority to bind that legal entity to the terms of this agreement. The term “you” or “user” refers to the individual or legal entity, as applicable, identified as the user during registration for the services. Unless otherwise specified, “you” refers to members and mentors. If you do not agree to be bound by this agreement, you may not access or use this website, app, or services.
Please be aware that section 14 of this agreement below contains provisions governing how claims that you and we have against each other are resolved, including, without limitation, any claims that arose or were asserted prior to the effective date of this agreement.
Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of the website or the services will be governed and interpreted by and under the laws of the DIFC courts, consistent with the DIFC-LCIA arbitration rules, without giving effect to any principles that provide for the application of the law of any other jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on contracts for the international sale of goods is expressly excluded from this agreement.
Your use of, and participation in, certain Services may be subject to additional terms (“Supplemental Terms”) and such Supplemental Terms will either be listed in this Agreement or will be presented to you for your acceptance when you sign up to use the supplemental Service. For example, if you register as a Member, you hereby agree to the Member Terms Agreement. If you register as a Mentor or feathered as a mentor at the Website, you hereby agree to the Mentor Terms Agreement. If the Agreement is inconsistent with the Supplemental Terms, the Supplemental Terms shall control with respect to such Service. All Supplemental Terms are hereby incorporated into this Agreement by reference. This Agreement and any applicable Supplemental Terms are referred to herein as the “Terms.”
Please note that the terms are subject to change by POL at its sole discretion at any time. When changes are made, POL will make a new copy of the agreement available at the website and the app, and any new supplemental terms will be made available from within, or through, the affected service on the website or app. We will also update the “last updated” date at the top of the agreement. If we make material changes to the agreement, we may (and, where required by law, will) also provide notification of changes in another way that we believe is reasonably likely to reach you, such as via e-mail if you have an account (as defined in section 2.1) or another manner through the services (which may include posting an announcement on our website). POL may require you to provide consent to the updated Agreement in a specified manner before further use of the website, app, and/or the services is permitted. If you do not agree to any change(s) after receiving a notice of such change(s), you agree to stop using the website, app, and services. Otherwise, your continued use of the website, app, or services constitutes your acceptance of such change(s). Please regularly check the website to view the then-current terms.

If you subscribe to the member services for a term (the "Initial Term”), then the Terms will be automatically renewed for additional periods of the same duration as the Initial Term at CCC’s then-current fee for such member services unless you opt-out of the auto-renewal or decline to renew your subscription in accordance with section 1 below “subscriptions”.
2. Terms of Service
This Agreement is incorporated by reference into the CCC Terms of Service for the Service (“Terms”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement have the meanings given in the Terms or in context, as applicable, and all other terms defined in this Agreement have the meanings provided in context. To the extent there is a conflict between the Terms and this Agreement, this Agreement will govern solely to the extent of the conflict.
3. Service
Member will have the option to use CCC’s Member Services described at https://www.consciouscryptocircle.com/mentor-services/ (the “Member Services”) and Mentor Services (defined below) described on the Service. Member acknowledges and agrees that Mentors may change at any time without prior notice to Members and that Mentors are providing general financial advice, which Member relies on completely at its own risk. Member waives any claims against POL and Mentors with respect to the foregoing.
4. General Payment Terms
Member agrees to pay all fees for the Member Services and Mentor Services (if applicable) in accordance with the fees and billing terms in effect at the time a fee is due and payable by any payment method agreed to by POL (e.g., credit card or PayPal and/or such other payment methods we may make available to you from time to time through our Service) (“Payment Methods”). If Member pays by credit card, Member must provide POL with a valid credit card (Visa, MasterCard, or any other issuer accepted by us) (“Payment Provider”). Member’s Payment Provider agreement governs its use of the designated credit card and it must refer to that agreement and not this Agreement to determine its rights and liabilities. By providing POL with payment information for the applicable Payment Method, Member agrees that POL is authorized to immediately charge Member’s Account for all fees due and payable to POL in connection with the Member Services and that no additional notice or consent is required. Member agrees to immediately notify POL of any change in Member’s billing address or the credit card account used for payment hereunder. POL reserves the right at any time to change its prices and billing methods, either immediately upon posting on the Service or by e-mail delivery to Member. The foregoing payment obligations in this Section 4 will not apply to Members who have been granted access to the Service through special invitations by POL.
POL may, in its sole discretion, cancel your payment at any time by providing notice to you through your contact information or by a notice when you attempt to make a payment. POL may cancel a payment or prevent you from initiating future payments for any reason, including, without limitation, the following: (i) if you attempt to use the Service in breach of any applicable law or regulation, including the card network rules or regulations; (ii) if you use the Service in breach of these Terms; (iii) if we suspect fraudulent, unlawful or improper activity regarding a payment; (iv) if we detect, in our sole discretion, that your payments have excessive disputes, high reversal rates or present a relatively high risk of losses; or (v) failure to cooperate in an investigation or provide additional information when requested.
5. Member Services Fees
Member will be responsible for payment of the applicable fee for (i) any Member Service (the “Service Subscription Fee”) at the time it creates its Account and select its annual package (i.e., the Service Subscription Fee will be due in advance) and (ii) any add-on Member Services that it purchases from time to time. For clarity, such add-on Member Services do not include Mentor Services. All fees for the Member Services are non-refundable. No contract will exist between Member and POL for any Member Service until POL accepts Member’s order by a confirmatory e-mail or other appropriate means of communication.
6. Availability and Pricing
Though we try to honor all purchase requests, availability cannot always be guaranteed. When an item is not available and cannot be replenished (e.g. if we offer a limited promotion), we will attempt to remove the item from the Service in a timely manner but make no guarantees in this regard. We may occasionally make errors in the stated prices on the Service. If a product’s correct price is higher than the published price, we will either, in our sole and absolute discretion, confirm that we will provide the item at the price listed or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation. If a product’s correct price is lower than the published price, we will reimburse you the additional amount paid, subject to any terms and conditions set out separately, including without limitation in the event of a coupon for a discounted price.

If POL determines it has a legal obligation to collect a Sales Tax from Member in connection with this Agreement, POL shall collect such Sales Tax in addition to the payments required under this Agreement. If any fees under the Agreement are subject to any Sales Tax in any jurisdiction and Member has not remitted the applicable Sales Tax to POL, Member will be responsible for the payment of such Sales Tax and any related penalties or interest to the relevant tax authority, and Member will indemnify POL for any liability or expense POL may incur in connection with such Sales Taxes. Upon POL’s request, Member will provide it with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or other such evidence that you have paid all applicable taxes. For purposes of this section, “Sales Tax” means any sales or use tax and any other tax measured by sales proceeds that is the functional equivalent of a sales tax where the applicable taxing jurisdiction does not otherwise impose a sales or use tax.

As permitted by local law, you accept the new price by continuing to use the Service after the price change takes effect. If you do not agree with the price changes, you have the right to reject the change by unsubscribing from the Service prior to the price change going into effect.
11.2 Cancelation. Member agrees that its subscription will be subject to this automatic renewal feature unless it cancels its subscription at least 30 days prior to the Renewal Commencement Date. If Member cancels its subscription, Member may use its subscription until the end of Member’s then-current subscription term; its subscription will not be renewed after Member’s then-current term expires. If you wish to cancel your subscription, you may send us an email with "Cancellation Request" in the subject line to [email protected] from the registered email address. In order to process such request sent by email, we may ask you to provide the following information: a brief comment explaining why you would like to cancel your subscription, your billing information (name, transaction ID, last four digits of the credit card associated with the account, billing date, etc.), email address, login name, and other identity verification and/or authentication information.
11.3 Refund. Member will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period. By subscribing, Member authorizes POL to charge Member via the applicable Payment Method now, and again at the beginning of any subsequent subscription period. Upon renewal of Member’s subscription, if POL does not receive payment from Member via the Payment Method, (a) Member agrees to pay all amounts due on its Account upon demand; and/or (b) Member agrees that POL may either terminate or suspend its subscription and continue to attempt to charge Member via the applicable Payment Method until payment is received (upon receipt of payment, Member’s Account will be activated and for purposes of automatic renewal, Member’s new subscription commitment period will begin as of the day payment was received).
12. Effects of Termination.
Sections 3 (last sentence only) through 13, and any liabilities or payment obligations that have accrued prior to termination will survive such termination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Mentor or POL is found to be liable for losses, Mentor or POL shall not be liable to Member for more than the amount Member has paid to us in accordance with these Terms in the three (3) months immediately preceding the date on which you first assert a claim. The limitations and disclaimers in these Terms do not purport to limit liability or alter rights that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
