Terms and Conditions
The Self-Employment Societyā„¢
Last updated: 24 July 2026
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your purchase of and participation in The Self-Employment Societyā„¢ ("the Program"), operated by Heath Close Online Business Management LLC ("we," "us," "our"). By purchasing the Program or ticking the box at checkout, you agree to these Terms.
1. The Program
The Program is a guided, online program that helps you build a business and land your first paying client. It includes course lessons, guided exercises, program tools, and access to our online community. Access is granted for 12 months at which time you may purchase extended access.
We may improve, update, or reorganize the Program content over time.
2. Payment
The current price and payment options for the Program are shown at checkout. By purchasing, you agree to the price and payment terms presented to you there.
If you choose a payment plan, you agree to pay each installment on schedule. Your account is in good standing only when every payment due has cleared. Failing to keep your payments current places your account out of good standing and may suspend your access until payment is resolved.
3. Our Guarantee
Here is our guarantee. Go through the full Program and do the work we lay out. If you do not land your first paying client within 90 days, we will personally coach you until you do. If we still cannot get you there, we will refund every dollar you paid.
This guarantee is the only outcome we promise. We do not promise any specific amount of income, revenue, or results beyond helping you land your first paying client.
Section 4 sets out the timeline and the conditions.
4. Guarantee Conditions
The guarantee runs on a set timeline.
The 90-day window. Your 90-day window starts when you enter the Program. During this window you complete the Program, do the work, and go for your first paying client.
Coaching phase. If you have not landed a paying client by the end of the 90 days, contact us and we will begin coaching you. You must show up for the coaching and keep doing the work. If you still have not landed a paying client after 60 days of coaching, you may request a full refund.
Refund window. You must request the refund within 30 days of the coaching phase ending.
To qualify for the refund, all of the following must be true:
- Your account is in good standing, meaning every payment due has cleared. You cannot skip a payment and claim the guarantee.
- You completed 100% of the Program lessons. Progress is tracked automatically.
- You completed and submitted your work at each step of the Program, and at all coaching milestones and tasks, as proof that you did the work. Proof is collected as you go, not all at once at the end.
- You took part in the coaching phase and kept doing the work.
If you did the work and it did not pay off, we stand behind our guarantee. If you did not do the work, the guarantee does not apply.
5. Refund Policy
All sales are final. The only refund available is the one described in the guarantee in Sections 3 and 4. We do not offer refunds for any other reason, including a change of mind.
If you enroll before lessons begin, the wait before the first lesson is part of the Program schedule. It is not grounds for a refund.
UK and EU customers. If you are a consumer in the UK or EU, consumer law gives you the right to cancel within 14 days of your purchase. Where that right applies, we will honor it. It sits alongside the guarantee and does not change the rest of this Refund Policy.
6. Testimonials
Testimonials are optional. We may invite you to share a video or text testimonial about your experience. You are never required to. Your access, your guarantee, and your standing in the Program do not depend on it.
If you choose to give a video or text testimonial, you grant us permission to use that testimonial and your likeness on our website.
7. Community Code of Conduct
Access to our community is a privilege, not a right, and depends on your compliance with our Code of Conduct.
We reserve the right to monitor the community and to remove any member who violates our Code of Conduct, including anyone engaging in harassment, spamming, unauthorized self-promotion, or disruptive conduct.
If you are found in violation, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to immediately end your access to the community without a refund, while keeping your course access active. In severe cases, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to end your access to both the community and the course, with or without a full or partial refund.
We are the final judge of what counts as a violation.
8. Recording of Group Calls
We record our group calls. By joining a call, you agree to be recorded.
Why we record. Recordings are made so members can watch replays inside the Program and catch up on anything they missed.
How recordings are used. Recordings are shared with Program members only. We will not use a recording in marketing, advertising, or any public place without asking you first and getting your permission.
Your choice. Live calls are optional. You do not have to attend any of them. If you do join a call, anything you say on your microphone and anything shown on your camera may be recorded.
Other members' privacy. Recordings are for your own use inside the Program. You may not copy, download, share, or post any recording outside the Program.
9. AI Thought Partner
The Program includes an AI thought partner, an AI assistant you can chat with inside the Program. These terms apply to your use of it.
Third-party platform. The AI runs on Pickaxe, a third-party platform. Your use of it is also subject to Pickaxe's terms of service at https://pickaxe.co/terms.
It is a thinking partner, not advice. The AI is a thinking partner to help you work through the Program. It is not professional, legal, financial, tax, or business advice. Using it does not create any professional or advisory relationship between you and us.
Check its output. AI output can be wrong, incomplete, or out of date. Do not act on it without checking it first. You are responsible for reviewing anything the AI produces before you rely on it.
No new guarantee. The AI is one tool within the Program. Using it does not, on its own, guarantee any specific result, outcome, income, or client. Your guarantee is the Program guarantee set out in the Guarantee section of these Terms. This feature does not change, add to, or weaken that guarantee.
Your responsibility. You are responsible for how you use the AI and its output. You agree not to use it for any unlawful, harmful, or abusive purpose.
Our liability. To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for any loss that results from your reliance on AI output, from errors in that output, or from the feature being unavailable.
Our intellectual property. The methodology, prompts, and configuration behind the AI are our proprietary property. You are granted access to use the feature. You are not given ownership of it. You may not copy, extract, reverse-engineer, resell, or otherwise reproduce the tool or the content behind it.
Access and changes. Access to the AI is tied to your active membership and ends when your membership ends. We may set reasonable usage limits, and we may change or remove the feature at any time.
10. Intellectual Property
All Program content, including lessons, tools, prompts, frameworks, and the Scale Architectureā„¢ Methodology, is owned by us and protected by law. It is for your personal use only. You may not copy, share, resell, or redistribute it without our written permission.
11. Disclaimer
The Program provides education and tools. Your results depend on your own effort, skills, and circumstances. Other than the guarantee in Section 3, we make no promise of any specific income or business result.
12. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Program. Our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid for the Program.
13. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of law rules.
14. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date at the top. Your continued use of the Program means you accept the updated Terms.
