Last Updated: June 12, 2026
1. BINDING AGREEMENT & SCOPE
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity ("you," "user," "subscriber," "attendee," or "client"), and Shira Gill LLC ("we," "us," or "our"), concerning your access to and use of our website, as well as any other media form, media channel, social media profile, mobile website, or offline/off-site interactions related, linked, or otherwise connected thereto.
These Terms govern all content, physical and digital products, and services offered by us, including but not limited to our Substack newsletter, digital downloads, physical books, online courses, workshops, private business coaching services, masterminds, and live, in-person events or retreat gatherings (collectively, the "Services").
By accessing the website, subscribing to our communications, interacting with our social media properties, purchasing any products, entering into a coaching agreement, or registering for an event or retreat, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and contractually agree to be bound by all of these Terms. If you do not agree with all of these Terms, you are expressly prohibited from using, purchasing, subscribing to, or participating in any of our Services, and you must discontinue use immediately.
2. INCORPORATION OF PRIVACY POLICY
Your use of our website and engagement with our Services is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is expressly incorporated into these Terms by this reference. By agreeing to these Terms, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accept the data collection, storage, and processing practices outlined in our Privacy Policy.
3. ACCOUNTS, LOGINS, & TERMINATION RIGHTS
To access certain features, including online courses, workshops, digital portals, or digital downloads, you may be required to create a user account through our platform hosts (e.g., Squarespace). You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities, actions, or purchases that occur under your account.
We reserve the absolute right, in our sole discretion, to terminate or suspend your account, restrict your access to digital platforms, cancel any active or unfulfilled purchases, or immediately revoke your access to any ongoing Services (including but not limited to active online courses, ongoing coaching retainers, private consults, workshops, or upcoming retreat events) without notice, refund, or liability. We may exercise this right for any breach of these Terms, non-payment or installment default, suspected fraud, intellectual property theft, copycatting, or any behavior within our community spaces, group forums, or direct program interactions that we deem, in our sole discretion, to be disruptive, toxic, defamatory, threatening, or abusive.
4. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, OWNERSHIP, & ZERO-TOLERANCE DERIVATIVE USE
A. Absolute Ownership of Proprietary Assets
Unless otherwise explicitly indicated, this website, its source code, databases, functionality, software, digital architecture, text, graphics, logos, audio, and video are our exclusive proprietary property.
Furthermore, all physical and digital books, course curriculums, lesson plans, written copy, video lectures, learning methodologies, business coaching frameworks, worksheets, checklists, swipe files, email broadcasts, Substack articles, social media captions, reels, and proprietary strategic processes distributed across any of our Services (collectively, our "Intellectual Property") are protected under United States and international copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws. We retain all right, title, and interest in and to our Intellectual Property. Absolutely no ownership rights or usage rights transfer to you or any client under any circumstances.
B. Strictly Licensed Third-Party Photography
All professional photography displayed on this website, within our course platforms, or across our social media channels is the exclusive property of Shira Gill or the photographer and is strictly licensed to us for our sole business use. You are fundamentally prohibited from downloading, extracting, scraping, modifying, screenshotting, or redistributing these images for any commercial or non-commercial purpose whatsoever.
C. Zero-Tolerance Prohibited Uses & Derivative Works
You are granted a strictly limited, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to view and interact with our materials solely for your individual, personal, non-commercial use. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy regarding intellectual property theft, poaching, and copycatting. You are expressly and severely prohibited from doing any of the following:
Copying, duplicating, reproducing, or repackaging any of our business coaching frameworks, methodologies, text, or course concepts to sell, rent, teach, or distribute as your own coaching materials, programs, courses, or guides.
Creating derivative works based upon, or mimicking, any content, strategy, branding layout, or materials provided through our Services.
Sharing your course login credentials, download links, or digital assets with third parties, or conducting group-viewing sessions of our restricted digital materials.
Using any automated software, AI training models, scraping bots, data mining tools, spiders, or framing techniques to extract data, code, concepts, text, or images from our website, courses, or digital platforms for any reason.
D. Remedies for Intellectual Property Breach
Any unauthorized use, reproduction, or poaching of our Intellectual Property constitutes a material breach of these Terms. Upon discovery of such violation, we will immediately terminate all access to your account and active purchases without notice or refund, permanently ban you from all future Services, and pursue all available legal remedies, including seeking maximum statutory damages, permanent injunctive relief, and the recovery of all attorney’s fees and legal costs.
5. LIVE EVENTS, WORKSHOPS, & IN-PERSON RETREATS
If you register for, purchase a ticket to, or participate in any live workshops, networking gatherings, book signings, or in-person retreats hosted by us, you explicitly agree to the following provisions:
A. Assumption of Risk & Physical Liability Waiver
You acknowledge that attendance at in-person events may involve travel, physical activities, and group gatherings. You voluntarily assume all risks related to property damage, personal injury, illness (including exposure to infectious diseases), or theft inherent in attending our events. You hereby release, waive, and forever discharge Shira Gill LLC, its employees, and agents from any and all liability, claims, demands, or causes of action arising out of any loss, damage, or injury suffered during an event.
B. Travel & Accommodation Disclaimer
We are solely responsible for the structured programming explicitly listed on the event registration page. We are not liable for any third-party failures, including hotel accommodation cancellations, flight delays, transit disruptions, inclement weather, or venue closures. All personal travel expenses incurred by you are your sole financial responsibility.
C. Media Release & Likeness Consent
By attending our live events or workshops, you acknowledge that photography, audio recording, and video recording may occur. You hereby grant us an absolute, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide license to utilize your name, voice, image, and likeness captured during the event for any promotional, marketing, social media, or commercial purposes without your further approval or financial compensation.
6. FINANCIAL TERMS, ABSOLUTE NO-REFUND POLICY, & CHARGEBACK PROHIBITION
A. Payment Structure & Installment Obligations
Payment for online courses, workshops, digital products, retreat registration, physical books, and coaching sessions is required upfront and in full at the time of purchase, unless an explicit multi-payment installment plan is formally authorized at checkout. If you elect a multi-payment installment plan, you acknowledge and agree that this is not a subscription or a "cancel-at-any-time" model; it is a binding agreement to pay the entire contractual balance in full. You are solely responsible for ensuring that the total agreed amount is paid in full according to your designated installment schedule, and you remain legally liable for any remaining balance until the full purchase price is completely satisfied.
B. Strict, Unconditional No-Refund Policy
Due to the immediate delivery of digital assets, proprietary frameworks, and the limited availability of high-ticket coaching slots and physical event capacities, all sales are final. We maintain a strict, unconditional zero-refund, zero-return, and zero-cancellation policy under any and all circumstances. This absolute no-refund policy applies regardless of your subjective dissatisfaction with the Services, a perceived "bad experience," a change in your personal financial situation, technological incompatibilities on your device, or your inability or failure to attend or complete a course, workshop, coaching call, or retreat event. No partial refunds, credits, or ticket rollovers will be issued for unused portions of any service.
C. Explicit Chargeback Prohibition & Liquidated Damages
By completing a purchase or initiating a payment plan, you contractually acknowledge this no-refund policy and expressly waive any right to initiate a credit card chargeback, merchant dispute, or reversal request with your banking institution or payment processor (including Stripe and PayPal). You agree that attempting a chargeback for validly delivered digital access, services, or events constitutes a bad-faith material breach of this contract and fraud. In the event that you wrongfully initiate a chargeback or payment dispute, we reserve the right to:
Immediately report your account to major credit bureaus as a delinquent debt collection matter.
Provide this binding contract and your digital access logs to your financial institution to instantly defeat the dispute.
Charge you for, and recover from you, all actual third-party chargeback fees, administrative costs, and reasonable attorney's fees incurred by us in disputing and resolving your unauthorized financial reversal.
D. Typographical, Inventory, and Pricing Errors
In the event that a product, book, course, retreat ticket, or coaching package is mistakenly listed at an incorrect price due to a typographical, technical, or administrative error (e.g., listing a $1,000 package for $1.00), we reserve the explicit right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for the service listed at the incorrect price. We retain this absolute right even if the order has been automatically confirmed, processed, and your credit card has been charged. If your card has already been charged for an erroneous price, we will promptly issue a full refund to the original payment method and revoke all associated access or reservations without liability.
E. Promotional Discount Codes
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, refuse, deactivate, or cancel any promotional discount codes, sales, sweepstakes, or affiliate promotions at any time, without prior notice, without explanation, and entirely without liability to you.
7. SOCIAL MEDIA INTERACTIONS & INFLUENCER/AFFILIATE DISCLOSURES
A. User Conduct on Social Platforms
We maintain a significant public presence on social media platforms (including Instagram, Substack, and TikTok). While we welcome engagement, you are prohibited from posting defamatory, abusive, harassing, or infringing comments on our public profiles or private community groups. We reserve the absolute right to block, report, and delete any user from our digital properties at our sole discretion.
B. Affiliate Links & Product Endorsements
Pursuant to FTC guidelines, we explicitly disclose that we engage in affiliate marketing and product endorsements. We frequently share affiliate tracking links (including via networks such as ShopMy) and may receive a financial commission or compensation if you purchase a product through those links.
C. Absolute Third-Party Product Disclaimer
We do not manufacture, store, ship, or control any of the third-party products recommended on our social media channels, website, or newsletter. If you purchase a recommended or endorsed item (e.g., a style item, beauty product, book, or tool), your transaction is strictly between you and that third-party merchant. We explicitly disclaim any and all liability for product defects, physical or skin reactions, delivery failures, billing disputes, or dissatisfaction arising from your purchase of third-party products. You consume and utilize recommended products entirely at your own risk.
8. PROFESSIONAL DISCLAIMERS (NOT LEGAL/FINANCIAL/THERAPEUTIC ADVICE)
The information and services provided through our website, online courses, Substack newsletter, social media platforms, and business coaching sessions are intended for educational, informational, and professional development purposes only.
Coaching is Not Therapy: You explicitly acknowledge that business coaching, strategic consulting, and educational programming do not constitute mental health therapy, psychological counseling, medical advice, legal advice, or regulated financial planning.
No Guarantees: While our materials are designed to optimize your professional trajectory, we do not guarantee specific income increases, business metrics, or professional outcomes. You remain entirely responsible for your own business decisions, financial planning, and operational results.
9. PLATFORM OPERATIONS, CYBERSECURITY, & THIRD PARTIES
A. Uptime and Technical Crashes
We do not guarantee that our website, course portals, or newsletter distribution will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free. In the event of a platform crash, server outage, or downtime during a high-traffic launch or update, we are not liable for any alleged loss of data, revenue, or business opportunities.
B. Third-Party Integrations & Links
Our site relies on external software, integrations, and widgets (such as embedded Calendly scheduling portals or external booksellers). We do not control, endorse, or assume any liability for technical failures, broken software, malicious code, or privacy practices tied to these external networks.
C. Malware and Cybersecurity Liability
While we utilize standard security protocols, we cannot and do not guarantee that files available for downloading from our site are free of infection or viruses. You are responsible for implementing sufficient cybersecurity measures on your own devices. We disclaim any liability for digital damage resulting from technological attacks, malware, or distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.
10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Shira Gill LLC, its directors, employees, or licensors be liable to you for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or relating to your use of the Services, attendance at live events, or reliance on information published by us.
Our total collective liability to you for any claim arising out of or connected to these Terms or the use of our Services, regardless of the form of action, shall be strictly contractually capped at the total amount paid by you to us in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
11. MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION & CLASS-ACTION WAIVER
Please read this section carefully, as it impacts your legal rights.
A. Arbitration Agreement
Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, including the formation, validity, binding effect, interpretation, performance, breach, or termination thereof, shall be referred to and finally resolved by mandatory, binding arbitration rather than a court of law. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) then in effect.
B. Venue and Governing Law
These Terms and any dispute arising from them shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles. The physical location and venue for any arbitration proceedings shall be Berkeley, California.
C. Class Action Waiver
You and we agree that any arbitration or legal proceeding shall be limited to the dispute between us individually. To the full extent permitted by law, no arbitration or legal proceeding shall be joined with any other, and you waive any right to resolve a dispute as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative action.
12. CONTRACTUAL STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS
You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to the use of our website, digital products, live events, or coaching services must be officially filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or be forever barred.
13. SEVERABILITY AND MODIFICATIONS
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid under applicable law, that unenforceability or invalidity shall not render these Terms unenforceable or invalid as a whole. Such provision will be severed, and the remaining terms will continue in full force and effect. We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time without notice, and your continued use of our platforms or engagement with our Services indicates your permanent agreement to the modified terms.
