You are solely responsible for (1) taking all reasonable steps to ensure that no unauthorized person has access to your PCG password or account; (2) controlling the dissemination and use of activation codes and passwords; (3) authorizing, monitoring, and controlling access to and use of your PCG password and account, and logging off of the Site at the end of each session; and (4) promptly notifying PCG of any need to deactivate your PCG password.

PCG Emails
PCG may choose to send you emails on a variety of topics – for example, to alert you to any problems with the Site or Services, to conduct surveys or to inform you of events, products or services that may be of interest to you. You may “opt-out” from receiving these emails by following the procedure specified in the Privacy Policy under “PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION COLLECTED BY PCG – Newsletters and Emails”.
PCG SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES
If you choose to subscribe to one of PCG’s subscription Services, such as a Coaching Session or other Service, including those listed in the “Services” section of the Site (collectively, the “Subscription Services”), then the following additional terms and conditions will apply.
You are using the Subscription Services at your own risk, and you are personally responsible for verifying its suitability for your needs, including by seeking the advice of your Licensed Healthcare Provider.
Charges and Billing
The description of, and prices for, Subscription Services are shown on the “Support Directory” page. You are required to pay the applicable price for Subscription Services as shown on the “Support Directory” page on the date that you make payment for the applicable Subscription Services (and not on the date that you receive such Subscription Services). You may subscribe for any Subscription Service by adding the Subscription Service to your “shopping cart” on the Site and then paying for that Subscription Service as described below.
PCG uses PayPal to process payments for Subscription Services and will not accept any payment, or credit card, bank account or other financial information, directly from you. When making a payment, you will be redirected to a PayPal-hosted page and be subject to PayPal’s agreements, terms and conditions and privacy policy, all of which can be found on the PayPal website. PayPal notifies us that your payment has been processed, including the date (the “Payment Date”) and amount of your payment, but we do not see your credit card, bank account or other financial information. Please do not send any of this information or any payment directly to us; we will not accept it and, if received, will promptly destroy or delete such information or payment. The terms of your payment will be based on the payment method that you select on PayPal (the “Payment Method”) and as determined by agreements between you and the financial institution providing such Payment Method. Accordingly, PCG shall have no liability or responsibility to you in connection with any matters related to your Payment Method, and any related problems or issues should be directed to PayPal. Your use of the PayPal website or any PayPal service is at your own risk.
Certain of our Subscription Services are offered on a one-time fee basis while others are available only on an automatic recurring fee basis, each as further described on the “Support Directory” page. All Subscription Services must be paid for in advance of their provision by PCG.
For Subscription Services that are offered on an automatic monthly recurring fee basis (the “Monthly Subscription”), the subscription period begins on the Payment Date (e.g., July 3rd) for the Monthly Subscription and concludes on the day before that calendar date (e.g., August 2nd) in the following month.
Unless you cancel in a timely manner as described below under “Cancellation”, automatic recurring fees will result in your Payment Method (including credit card) being automatically charged at the start of each month of the Monthly Subscription or such other period as specified on the “Support Directory” page.
For Subscription Services that are offered on a one-time fee basis and that provide for a 12-month subscription period (“Annual Subscription Services”), the subscription period begins on the Payment Date (e.g., July 3, 2009) for the Annual Subscription Services and concludes on the day before that calendar date (e.g., July 2, 2010) in the following year. Annual Subscription Services do not automatically renew. If you do not renew an Annual Subscription Service, then that Annual Subscription Service will automatically expire and terminate within 14 days after the end of its 12-month duration. PCG will send you a reminder notice of the expiration of your Annual Subscription Services at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the applicable 12-month period. We will provide this reminder notice to you by email or by posting it to your “My Account” tab on your User Home or Team Page. If you would like to renew an Annual Subscription Service at any time prior to its expiration, you may do so by renewing your subscription from the “Support Directory” page.
If your Payment Method fails or your account is past due, then (1) you agree to pay all amounts due on your account upon demand; (2) PCG may collect fees owed using other collection mechanisms; and (3) PCG reserves the right to suspend or terminate, or not provide, your registration or Subscription Services, including the deletion of your User Home or Team Page and all information on your User Home or Team Page.
Payments of fees for Subscription Services are non-refundable.
You agree to submit any dispute regarding fees (other than disputes relating solely to your Payment Method) in writing to PCG within sixty (60) days of the applicable Payment Date, otherwise such dispute will be waived and such charge will be final and not subject to challenge. Refunds (if any) provided pursuant to such dispute are at the sole discretion of PCG.
For each Subscription Service, PCG reserves the right to modify or terminate such Subscription Service, change the amount of associated fees, or institute new charges for such Subscription Service at any time with at least sixty (60) days’ advance notice to you. We will provide notice of any such change to you by email. All fees and charges are quoted in U.S. Dollars.
Taxes
If applicable, you are responsible for paying any governmental taxes imposed on your use of the Subscription Services, including sales, use, or value added taxes in a timely manner. To the extent that PCG is obligated to collect such taxes, the applicable tax will be added to the fees you owe to PCG for the applicable Subscription Services.
Cancellation
Cancellation of any Subscription Services can be done by either stopping payment of your Payment Method for the applicable Subscription Service or by clicking the “Cancel Membership” link on you’re My Account Page.
You are responsible for all fees for Subscription Services, including for Monthly Subscriptions until your cancellation of Subscription Services becomes effective. Cancellations become effective as follows: (1) for all Subscription Services requiring any PCG Personnel to travel to any location (as indicated on the “Support Directory” page by the “PCG Travel Required” designation), your cancellation will become effective only if you provide your cancellation (as described above) at least 14 days prior to (a) the date on which the applicable Subscription Service is scheduled to be provided by PCG, if such Subscription Service is not on an automatic recurring fee basis, or (b) the next automatic renewal date for the applicable Subscription Service, if such Subscription Service is being provided on an automatic recurring fee basis; and (2) for all other Subscription Services, including those to be provided by phone, online or at PCG locations, your cancellation will become effective only if you provide your cancellation (as described above) at least 24 hours prior to (a) the date on which the applicable Subscription Service is scheduled to be provided by PCG or otherwise commence, if such Subscription Service is not on an automatic recurring fee basis, or (b) the next automatic renewal date for the applicable Subscription Service, if such Subscription Service is being provided on an automatic recurring fee basis.
Payments of Subscription Services fees are non-refundable. If your cancellation becomes effective in a timely manner as described above, you will receive a credit for any Subscription Service that you did not receive (in the amount of your payment for such Subscription Service) that may be applied at any time during the 12-month period after the effective date of your cancellation toward any other Subscription Services. After this period, all unused credits terminate and may not be used by you again. You may apply any valid unused credit toward future Subscription Services by clicking the “Credit” option when ordering your new Subscription Service.
If your cancellation does not become effective in a timely manner as described above, you will be responsible for payment in full of (1) the applicable one-time fee for the applicable Subscription Service, if such Subscription Service is not on an automatic recurring fee basis, or (2) the automatic recurring fee for the next automatic recurring period of the applicable Subscription Service, if such Subscription Service is provided on an automatic recurring fee basis (and your cancellation will become effective upon the expiration of that next automatic recurring period).
