20. Subscription Terms
This section covers additional terms that apply to your use of our subscription-based collections as an Instructor (“Subscription Plans”). By using a Subscription Plan, you agree to the additional terms in this section.
20.1 Subscription Plans
During your subscription to a Subscription Plan, you get a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license from us to access and view the content included in that Subscription Plan via the Services. The subscription that you purchase or renew determines the scope, features, and price of your access to a Subscription Plan. You may not transfer, assign, or share your subscription with anyone else.
We reserve the right to revoke any license to use the content in our Subscription Plans for legal or policy reasons at any time and at our sole discretion, such as if we no longer have the right to offer the content through a Subscription Plan.
20.2 Account Management
You may cancel your Subscription by following the steps on our Support Page. If you cancel your subscription to a Subscription Plan, your access to that Subscription Plan will automatically end on the last day of your billing period. On cancellation, you will not be entitled to receive a refund or credit of any fees already paid for your subscription, unless otherwise required by applicable law. For clarity, cancellation of a subscription does not terminate your Wellbee Academy account.
20.3 Free Trials and Renewals
Wellbee Academy does not offer a free trial to a Subscription Plan. Your subscription will automatically renew according to your subscription settings (e.g., monthly or annually) unless you cancel your subscription prior to the end of the billing period.
20.4 Payments and Billing
The subscription fee will be listed at the time of your purchase. You can visit our Support Page to learn more about where to find the fees and dates applicable to your subscription. We may also be required to add taxes to your subscription fee. Payments are non-refundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
To subscribe to a Subscription Plan, you must provide a payment method. By subscribing to a Subscription Plan and providing your billing information during checkout, you grant us and our payment service providers the right to process payment for the then-applicable fees via the payment method we have on record for you. At the end of each subscription term, we will automatically renew your subscription for the same length of term and process your payment method for payment of the then-applicable fees.
In the event that we update your payment method using information provided by our payment service providers, you authorize us to continue to charge the then-applicable fees to your updated payment method.
If we are unable to process payment through the payment method we have on file for you, or if you file a chargeback disputing charges made to your payment method and the chargeback is granted, we may suspend or terminate your subscription.
We reserve the right to change our Subscription Plans or adjust pricing for our Services at our sole discretion. Any price changes or changes to your subscription will take effect following notice to you, except as otherwise required by applicable law.
If you cancel your subscription to a Subscription Plan, your access to that Subscription Plan will automatically end on the last day of your billing period. On cancellation, you will not be entitled to receive a refund or credit of any fees already paid for your subscription, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
20.5 Subscription Disclaimers
We make no guarantees as to the availability of any specific content in any Subscription Plan or as to any minimum amount of content in any Subscription Plan. At any point in the future, we reserve the right to offer or cease to offer additional features to any Subscription Plan, or to otherwise modify or terminate a Subscription Plan at our sole discretion. We have no responsibility to preserve or store the content inputted by you in connection with your use of any Subscription Plan. These disclaimers are in addition to those listed in the “Disclaimers” section below.

If there’s a dispute, our Support Team is happy to help resolve the issue. If that doesn’t work and you live in the United States or Canada, your options are to go to small claims court or bring a claim in binding individual arbitration; you may not bring that claim in another court or participate in a non-individual class action claim against us.
This Dispute Resolution section (“Dispute Resolution Agreement”) applies only if you live in the United States or Canada. Most disputes can be resolved, so before bringing a formal legal case, please first try contacting our Support Team.
24. Dispute Resolution Overview
Wellbee Academy is committed to using its best efforts to resolve disputes with its users, without the need for a formal legal claim to be filed. If an issue arises between us, you and Wellbee Academy agree to first work diligently and in good faith to reach a resolution that’s fair and equitable to both sides using the mandatory informal dispute resolution process described below. On occasion, a third party may be necessary to help resolve our dispute. This Dispute Resolution Agreement limits how these disputes can be resolved.
YOU AND WELLBEE ACADEMY AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS, OR CONTROVERSIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE APPLICABILITY, BREACH, TERMINATION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT, OR INTERPRETATION OF THEM, OR TO THE USE OF THE SERVICES OR COMMUNICATIONS WITH WELLBEE ACADEMY (COLLECTIVELY, “DISPUTES”) THAT ARE NOT RESOLVED INFORMALLY MUST BE ADDRESSED SOLELY IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT OR BY BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO FILE A CASE IN ANY OTHER COURT.
YOU AND WELLBEE ACADEMY FURTHER AGREE TO BRING CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY ONLY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING WHETHER IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION.
You and Wellbee Academy agree that this Dispute Resolution Agreement applies to each of us as well as all of our respective agents, attorneys, contractors, subcontractors, service providers, employees, and all others acting for, or on behalf of, you and Wellbee Academy. This Dispute Resolution Agreement is binding on your and Wellbee Academy’s respective heirs, successors, and assigns, and is governed by the Canadian Arbitration Act.
24.2 Fees and Costs
You and Wellbee Academy agree that each party will bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees in the event of a dispute, provided, however, that either party may recover fees and costs to the extent permitted by applicable law. If a court or an arbitrator determines that an arbitration has been brought or threatened in bad faith, or that the demand was frivolous or asserted for an improper purpose, the court or arbitrator may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, award attorneys’ fees to the party defending against the claim just as a court could.
24.3 No Class Actions
We both agree that we can each only bring claims against the other on an individual basis. This means: (a) neither of us can bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class action, consolidated action, or representative action; (b) an arbitrator can’t combine multiple people’s claims into a single case (or preside over any consolidated, class, or representative action); and (c) an arbitrator’s decision or award in one claimant’s case can only decide the disputes of that user, not other users. Nothing in this Dispute Resolution Agreement limits the parties’ rights to resolve a Dispute by mutual agreement through a class-wide settlement of claims.
25. Termination of Service
Wellbee Social Inc. reserves the right to suspend or terminate access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Upon termination, users must cease all use of the Service and delete any copies of the Service in their possession.
26. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Wellbee Social Inc., Wellbee Academy, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with the use or inability to use the Service. This includes, but is not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, even if Wellbee Social Inc. has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
