SECTION 6 – Refunds
Sophia Spallino LLC (Sophia Spallino’s Coaching or Queer Country Club Community) has a strict no refund or exchange policy.
Intangible online items/services are not refundable unless explicity stated. Our digital services are deemed “used” after being emailed, downloaded, opened and/or given access to a coaching and/or community.
If you no longer wish to use our services, your only recourse is to unsubscribe from using the services. If you choose to stop using our services before the end of your billing cycle, you understand and accept that we will not be able to offer a refund, whether partially or in full, for the remaining part of your cycle.
For the sake of emphasis, we do not provide refunds, credit, or prorated billing for any canceled subscription, unless explicitly stated.

SECTION 7 – Subscription Terms and Automatic Payments
A Sophia Spallino LLC user is responsible for paying all sums due to Sophia Spallino LLC in connection with their monthly subscription in accordance with these Terms. The first fee payable in accordance with these Terms is due when the user account is set up and payment of the monthly fee is a condition of access, or after your free trial ends and you have not canceled the automatic subscription with us. Every calendar month, your account will be charged the subscription fee plus applicable tax for the following month’s subscription, together with any other fees for the following month’s subscription plus any accumulated charges for the past period (collectively “Fees”).
Failure by the Sophia Spallino LLC user to use any of the services available through the service provided by Sophia Spallino LLC does not relieve the Sophia Spallino LLC user of their payment obligations under these Terms. Potential users can pay by credit card or debit card. Payment details shall be collected by us through our secure financial data collection mechanism.
You acknowledge and agree that we hold data relating to the transaction, including the last four digits and the expiration date of the card used to purchase the products or services together with details on when payment is due. You further acknowledge and agree that payments are due on a recurring basis in accordance with the payment terms for the specific service purchased (unless the subscription is cancelled in accordance with these Terms) and therefore authorize the automatic payment collection terms applicable to that specific service (e.g., on a monthly basis and for a specific amount).
IF YOU WISH TO CANCEL YOUR SOPHIA SPALLINO LLC SUBSCRIPTION (INCLUDING SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR SERVICES) AT ANY TIME AFTER A FREE TRIAL OR DISCOUNTED PERIOD ENDS, YOU MUST SUBMIT A CANCELLATION REQUEST TO US VIA OUR SUPPORT EMAIL ADDRESS SUPPORT@SOPHIASPALLINO.COM. FOR MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTIONS (INCLUDING SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR SERVICES), WE REQUIRE AT LEAST TEN (10) DAYS’ NOTICE OF CANCELLATION BY EMAIL BEFORE YOUR NEXT SUBSCRIPTION PAYMENT.
Sophia Spallino LLC reserves the right to immediately terminate a user’s account and/or service for any unpaid (in whole or part) period of the subscription (with or without notice). Termination of service in no way relieves or excuses the user from any obligation to pay outstanding charges or expenses. In the event Sophia Spallino LLC starts collection processes of any type, you will be liable for all collection costs, including legal fees and expenses, as provided in Section 18 below. In addition to any Fees, Sophia Spallino LLC may also charge applicable value added or other tax.
SECTION 8 – Shipping Fees
Unless otherwise stated on the Website at the time of purchase, if we ship you a physical product, we reserve the right to add applicable shipping and handling fees to your order. Unless otherwise stated, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to fulfill your order within a reasonable time after receipt of your properly completed and verified order.

If your order will be delayed, we will contact you at the e-mail address you provided when placing your order. If we are unable to contact you or you would like to cancel your order, we will cancel the order and refund the full amount charged.

The risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon our delivery to any third-party carrier.

General
For all our coaching offers, Sophia Spallino LLC are not responsible for missed appointments and strictly do not offer refunds. We are holding this space for you and value the time we set aside just for you, that may or may not include pre-meeting work, like market research or social media investigating to prepare for your session/retainer/program.
You are either hiring Sophia Spallino LLC as independent contractors, or consuming our free content (e.g. free masterclass attendees, podcast subscribers, followers on social media, etc).
You are responsible to provide necessary assets, take action steps on your own, and make yourselves available for Sophia Spallino LLC to do our job and advise you accordingly. The amount of action you take directly affects the results of the service.
Canceling, Rescheduling, and Refund Policy
Sophia Spallino LLC expects all clients to honor your time and theirs, and abide by this strict policy.
Due to the nature of our services, coaching/consulting/creation/management/membership/program, there are no refunds for any transaction even if you, the client, do not complete the program/provide the necessary content/show up.
Clients give Sophia Spallino LLC consent to share their name, likeness, and business and/or social media progress as a case study in advertising/social media/email marketing and other media.
Pre-paid 1:1 coaching / consulting sessions
No-show sessions or sessions canceled in less than 48 hours are lost with no refunds or rescheduling options.
Rescheduling with a 48-hour to one-week notice: One reschedule permitted, only if absolutely necessary. A rescheduled session is only valid for HALF the amount of time of the original session if it is rescheduled within one week of the appointment
Rescheduling in advance: If it is longer than a week until your session, you are welcome to reschedule without penalty if absolutely necessary.
No refunds for masterclasses, workshops, one on one sessions, group coaching, consulting sessions, VIP containers, or any other coaching-style service/event (regardless of whether the service was paid in full or partially completed).
Scheduled sessions for clients to be invoiced monthly
These meetings are scheduled at the client’s convenience, but meetings must be kept. Scheduled meeting time is billed to the client at the same rate as agreed upon per hour. If scheduled meetings are missed or rescheduled with less than a 48-hour notice, the client is billed a fee of $69, as the consultant is reserving that time and preparing in advance for the meeting.
Upgrading/downgrading consulting/coaching/retainer services
Due to the nature of our services, there are no refunds.
Once a payment is completed for the term, those session(s)/services are non-refundable; however, you may cancel with a written emailed notice of intent to no longer need services, (email support@sophiaspallino.com) with a minimum of five days before your next payment is pulled, and you will only pay for services rendered or the term that is pre/partially/paid in full. If you need more or less time per session or help changing the frequency of sessions per month, reach out to: support@sophiaspallino.com.
You cannot downgrade an existing pre-paid coaching/consulting/subscription/retainer/service/group coaching/membership/VIP support container. However, you can downgrade before purchasing new caching/consulting/subscription/retainer/service/group coaching/membership/VIP support container.
VIP Access
I offer social media consulting support in your pocket! You can voice memo or text me (using Voxer) at any time. If you need a tutorial I can screen record and send to you. I am literally teaching you in real time so you can have creative control and learn! We communicate through the Voxer app, which is free to download.
When given VIP Access, I make myself available to you on business days from, generally from 1pm to 5pm CST daily, and sometimes earlier or later (not promised, but I love what I do). I typically respond in REAL TIME, but always within 2 to 24 hours of the 9am-5pm range. If you are in an opposing time zone, please communicate that with me, and we will come up with an appropriate plan.
This 1:1, on-demand container gets you access to me, my brain, creativity, strategy, and assistance for up to 30-40 minute per weekday, outside of scheduled 1 hour weekly meetings. This includes time I spend reviewing your content. On scheduled weekly meeting days, 4 of the 30 days, this is considered the consulting/coaching time of that day. Daily VIP access time and weekly meetings do not roll over.
This program is created for clients who desire DAILY consulting/coaching. There is no contract, you pay by the month, and most clients (I take up to 1-2 VIPS at a time tops), work with me for one to four months to get grounded in strategy, but I have a couple that have kept me on for nearly a year. Once a payment is made, there are no refunds. Don’t worry — your 30 days of VIP access to Sophia starts the day you have your first scheduled meeting, not the day you purchase!
All pre-paid coaching sessions and VIP access hours must be utilized within 30 days of first scheduled meeting. Please refer to the Canceling, Rescheduling, and Refund Policy specific to PRE-PAID COACHING/CONSULTING SESSIONS, as these rules do apply to scheduled meetings.
It is the client’s responsibility to clarify what they would like to spend their time within the container on.
The scope of consulting/coaching may include focusing on one or touching on many of these topics:
Foundational personal branding
Social media content creation
Video editing skills
Content strategy
Graphic design basics
Confidence on camera
Strategic copywriting
Accepting payments and scheduling setup
Social media search optimization per platform
Email marketing
Freemium creation
Offer polishing and launching tips
Mindset support
You are hiring Sophia Spallino LLC as an independent contractor. You will provide necessary assets, take action steps on your own, and make yourselves available for them to do their job. This is not a done-for-you container. This is coaching that sets you up for autonomous success. The amount of action you take directly affects the results of the VIP access container.
Others
All pre-paid coaching sessions must be scheduled and utilized within one year of payment. By completing any payment (either paid in full, or paid in partial), you agree to these terms and conditions.If your consulting/coaching container includes VIP access, know that Sophia will do her very best to respond to you in a timely matter.If/when Sophia Spallino LLC take extended time away from work, you will not lose any pre-paid private sessions and Sophia Spallino always does her best to make you aware ahead of time. She will simply extend your container length to make up any sessions/communication that she is responsible for.

PLEASE READ THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION CAREFULLY TO UNDERSTAND YOUR RIGHTS. EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW, YOU AND YOUR BUSINESS AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM THAT YOU OR YOUR BUSINESS MAY HAVE IN THE FUTURE MUST BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING CONFIDENTIAL ARBITRATION. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. THE RIGHTS THAT YOU AND YOUR BUSINESS WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS DISCOVERY OR THE RIGHT TO APPEAL, MAY BE MORE LIMITED OR MAY NOT EXIST. YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY ONLY BRING A CLAIM IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF (LEAD OR OTHERWISE) OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE PROCEEDINGS OR CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.
THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. HOWEVER, AN ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF AS A COURT (INCLUDING INJUNCTIVE AND DECLARATORY RELIEF OR STATUTORY DAMAGES) AND MUST FOLLOW THESE TERMS AS A COURT WOULD. If you have a complaint, dispute, or controversy, you agree to first contact us at support@sophiaspallino.com to attempt to resolve the dispute or controversy informally.
Any controversy or claim arising out of or related to the use of the Website, any product, service, or software, these Terms, the Privacy Statement, any affiliate agreement, or your relationship with us that cannot be resolved through such informal process or through negotiation within 120 days shall be resolved by binding, confidential arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), and judgment on the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
We agree that any claim we may have against you or your business will also be subject to his arbitration provision, except as provided in Sections 20 and 21 below. The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator in the English language in the United States, unless we both agree to conduct the arbitration by telephone or written submissions. The arbitrator shall be selected by agreement of the parties or, if the parties cannot agree, chosen in accordance with Rules of the AAA. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and Procedures, in effect at the time of submission of the demand for arbitration. The AAA’s Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. The arbitrator shall have the exclusive and sole authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, construction, validity, applicability, or enforceability of these Terms and Conditions of Use and Sale, the Privacy Statement, this arbitration provision, and any other terms incorporated by reference into these Terms and Conditions of Use and Sale. The arbitrator shall have the exclusive and sole authority to determine whether any dispute is arbitrable. The arbitrator shall have the exclusive and sole authority to determine whether this arbitration agreement can be enforced against a non-signatory to this agreement and whether a non-signatory to this agreement can enforce this provision against you or Sophia Spallino LLC.
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s Rules. In all other respects, the parties shall each pay their own additional fees, costs, and expenses, including, but not limited to, those for any attorneys, experts, documents, and witnesses.
The arbitrator shall follow the substantive law of the State of Louisiana without regard to its conflicts of laws principles. Any award rendered shall include a confidential written opinion and shall be final, subject to appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, as amended. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
You and Sophia Spallino LLC agree that disputes will only be arbitrated on an individual basis and shall not be consolidated, on a class-wide, representative basis, or with any other arbitration(s) or other proceedings that involve any claim or controversy of any other party. You and Sophia Spallino LLC expressly waive any right to pursue any class or other representative action against each other.
Failure or any delay in enforcing this arbitration provision in connection with any particular claim will not constitute a waiver of any rights to require arbitration at a later time or in connection with any other claims except that all claims must be brought within 1 year after the claim arises (the 1 year period includes the 120 day informal resolution procedures described above).
This arbitration provision sets forth the terms and conditions of our agreement to final and binding confidential arbitration and is governed by and enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, as amended.
This provision survives termination of your account or relationship with Sophia Spallino LLC, bankruptcy, assignment, or transfer. If the class action waiver is deemed unenforceable (i.e., unenforceability would allow arbitration to proceed as a class or representative action), then this entire arbitration provision shall be rendered null and void and shall not apply. If a portion of this arbitration provision (other than the class action waiver) is deemed unenforceable, the remaining portions of this arbitration provision shall remain in full force and effect.
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND YOUR BUSINESS WOULD HAVE HAD A RIGHT TO LITIGATE THROUGH A COURT, TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY DECIDE YOUR CASE, AND TO BE PARTY TO A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. HOWEVER, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO HAVE ANY CLAIMS DECIDED INDIVIDUALLY AND ONLY THROUGH BINDING, FINAL, AND CONFIDENTIAL ARBITRATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION.

Sophia Spallino LLC is a sales and marketing education and training company. For legal purposes we have to include this ridiculous disclaimer, but I wholeheartedly believe that all my clients are capable of making their vision a reality if they take action.
We do not sell a business opportunity, “get rich quick” program or money-making system. We believe, with education, individuals can be better prepared to make investment decisions, but we do not guarantee success in our training. We do not make earnings claims, efforts claims, or claims that our training will make you any money. All material is intellectual property and protected by copyright. Any duplication, reproduction, or distribution is strictly prohibited.
Investing of any kind carries risk and it is possible to lose some or all of your money. The training provided is general in nature, and some strategies may not be appropriate for all individuals or all situations. We make no representation regarding the likelihood or probability that any actual or hypothetical investment will achieve a particular outcome or perform in any predictable manner.
Statements and depictions are the opinions, findings, or experiences of individuals who generally have purchased education and training. Results vary, are not typical, and rely on individual effort, time, and skill, as well as unknown conditions and other factors.
