Financial Considerations

LIVE EVENT CANCELATION: In the unlikely case that the Offering is canceled before it occurs, you will receive a full refund of your original ticket investment within 7 calendar days of event cancelation.

LIVE EVENT RESCHEDULING: Before sessions have commenced, if the entire live event series tied to your Offering’s cohort needs to be rescheduled due to weather, illness, family emergency, or other considerations, you will have the option to request a refund for your Offering if the announced new live event series dates and times don’t work for your schedule. Once your cohort’s Offering sessions are in progress, if one or more dates/times need to be reasonably rescheduled (within a few days vs. weeks/months) due to an unforeseen emergency, participants will be provided with an optional email poll to determine the optimal reschedule dates/times and recordings will be provided, but refunds will not be provided in this situation. If you are unsure about whether investing in the Offering is a good fit for your needs, we encourage you to direct any questions about the Offering to info@greateststorycreative.com prior to your purchase.

REFUNDS & OUR “TAKE ACTION GUARANTEE” (Updated 3/8/24)

Given our alumni’s feedback, we’re so confident in the value of Package Your Process™ that we offer a “Take Action Guarantee!” If you do the work - we 100% stand by its ability to bring value to you that you didn’t have before like increased confidence and clarity about branding and selling your services. If it doesn’t, we’ll gladly give you a full refund.

We only ask that you give it a real try to have a positive impact on your business. That means completing most of the coursework/exercises, attending & participating in most of the live sessions, and acting on most of the recommended post-workshop strategies to be eligible. After doing so, if you don’t see the value of the program - you can request a full refund by emailing us at info@greateststorycreative.com - no problem!

We accept requests for up to 90 days after your cohort’s final session. Receiving a refund forfeits your access to and license to use all program materials, templates, tools, strategies, and related bonuses as outlined in these terms. So upon receipt of a refund, you’d be required to end all use of program-related tools and strategies.

Whether or not you use the program/program materials is always at your discretion and availability. The program’s core value can be leveraged in a self-paced manner should you encounter availability issues for attending live sessions. Due to the nature of live events, limited student capability, and digital resources, refunds are not available due to lack of use and/or participation.

(Added for additional clarity, 2/26/25): A ticket to this offering only includes access to the specific cohort you enroll in, including its live sessions and recordings. Access to any future cohorts are not included, but may be often purchased at the publicly available rate should you desire to attend a new cohort of the program again in the future.

CHARGEBACKS: You agree to make every attempt to file a refund prior to attempting a chargeback with your financial institution. In the event of a chargeback attempt, You expressly agree to forfeit any and all of Our bonuses, affiliate bonuses or other materials afforded to you in exchange for your original purchase of our Offering. We reserve the right to present proof of Your access and these Terms and Conditions of Use to the financial institution investigating the dispute.

RECURRING & RENEWING PAYMENTS: Updated 2/26/25 - If you have signed up for a payment plan, You hereby authorize our continued access to your financial information stored by our third-party financial processing company referenced in this Agreement (Stripe) until your payment plan is complete, as set forth in Your acceptance of the purchase terms upon checkout.

By enrolling in a payment plan, please note all payments will be due & charged per the schedule provided on your payment link(s), regardless of session attendance or materials use. Payment in full is also required to legally use any program strategies, templates, or materials.

Guarantee: Even with a payment plan, you can enjoy our Take Action Guarantee, so long as you complete the simple participation criteria for this policy. 

REVOCATION OF ACCESS

You have the unilateral right to terminate your use and access to any of Our Offering(s). Please send an email to info@greateststorycreative.com to initiate this process.

Financial Considerations

Refunds & Our Risk-Free Guarantee

Updated 2.18.24

We’re so confident in the value of this program that we offer a 30-day risk-free guarantee. We want you to experience its value firsthand, not just believe our word. That's why we encourage you to dive deep and:

• Attend at least one monthly meeting to connect with the community and get real-time support.

• Complete at least two trainings from the Vault to apply powerful strategies to your business.

If, after doing both of these things, you still don't see the value - you have two options you can request within 30 days of your enrollment date:

1. Full Refund: Simply let us know by emailing us at team@greateststorycreative.com, and we'll issue a 100% refund.

2. Personalized Coaching: Swap your membership value for a private virtual consulting session with branding strategist, Annie Franceschi. Get tailored guidance to overcome specific challenges.

The Choice is Yours! This is a time-based program, so after 30 days, refunds and credits are unavailable - so make sure any requests or questions are sent within this period.

We’re truly committed to your success, and these options ensure you’re able to give the program an honest try with complete security.

Additionally, note that whether or not you use and take action with the program/program materials is always at your discretion, refunds are not available due to lack of use and/or participation.

Lastly, please note all timing and receipt of refunds are per the terms of Stripe and your financial institution.

Chargebacks

You agree to make every attempt to file a refund prior to attempting a chargeback with your financial institution. In the event of a chargeback attempt, You expressly agree to forfeit any and all of Our bonuses, affiliate bonuses or other materials afforded to you in exchange for your original purchase of our Offering. We reserve the right to present proof of Your access and these Terms and Conditions of Use to the financial institution investigating the dispute.

Recurring & Auto-Renewing Payments + Cancellation of Membership + Revocation of Access

If you have signed up for a payment plan, You hereby authorize our continued access to your financial information stored by our third party financial processing company referenced in this Agreement (Stripe) until your payment plan is complete, as set forth in Your acceptance of the purchase terms upon checkout. 

You have the unilateral right to terminate your use and access to any of Our Offering(s). Please send an email to info@greateststorycreative.com to initiate this process.

To cancel before your program renews for a new duration, you must email your request with a minimum of 5 business days prior to the date of any auto-renewal of your program enrollment to ensure cancellation without charge for an additional duration. (Effective 1/5/24: Shortened from 4/6/22 Terms of 7 business days)

For time-based programs, canceling your program (such as disabling auto-renew) will give you access through your paid window. For example, if you cancel one month before your year-long program is up - you will have access for the remaining month. Pro-rated refunds are not provided if you choose to cancel before your program period duration ends.

Termination will not excuse you of further payment. Upon confirmation of your termination, any and all outstanding balances will become immediately due and payable. Any existing balance that remains after 14 days from the date of termination will be sent to a collections agency, and You agree to be responsible for any additional charges, fees or costs associated with such a collection effort, including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs.

Pricing

We reserve the right to change the investment amount and availability for programs at any time. However, you may be able to lock in your rate when such promotions are specifically offered/advertised (example: a Founding Member’s rate) and you purchase using the promotion. 

UPGRADING/DOWNGRADING PROGRAM MEMBERSHIP

If a program is currently offered in multiple time durations at varying price points (example: quarterly and annually), and you wish to switch to a different duration - you may do so only at times of renewal (no pro-rated refunds will be provided if you switch durations).

For example, if you wish to upgrade from quarterly to yearly access, you may move to yearly access at the end of your current quarter. To do so, please send an email to team@greateststorycreative.com within 5 business days of your current quarter access ending to request your annual access payment link + to officially cancel your quarterly automatic renewal.

If you wish to switch from yearly access to quarterly access, you may do so at the end of your current year. To do so, please send an email to team@greateststorycreative.com within 5 business days of your current annual access ending to request your quarterly access payment link and to officially cancel your annual automatic renewal.

Program Discontinuation Contigency

Should Greatest Story Creative LLC opt to end a program at any time, the following process would be followed:

Program enrollees would be notified by email about a specific program closure date using the email provided to Us by them with their initial registration. 

While we’ll aim to communicate ahead of time for any program closure, due to the unpredictable nature of life and business, we can close the program at any time without advance notice.

Program enrollees would be provided pro-rated refunds calculated based on their most recent rate of investment. Pro-rating will be done in standardized increments centered on a monthly basis: Your current rate / divided by months covered (3 for quarterly, 12 for annual).

You would receive a pro-rated refund minus any full months that have passed prior to the closure date.

Examples:

If the program is canceled during your first month, you would receive a full refund based on your most recent rate of investment.

If the program is canceled during your 2nd month of a quarterly period, you would receive a pro-rated refund equal to two months of your program (Only paying for Month 1; not 2 and 3).

If the program is canceled during your 9th month of a yearly period, you would receive a pro-rated refund equal to four months of your program (Only paying for Months 1-8; not 9-12).

One-time refunds would be initiated for processing within 7 business days following the closure of the program, and provided per your financial institution’s terms and timing (which we are not responsible for).

As all materials are time-based and not “lifetime access”, you will not receive program materials nor have access to those that were view-only/of this nature following program closure. 

The few members who have invested in or been given a “Lifetime Membership” are able to keep their membership active for only a one-time investment or gift from Greatest Story Creative LLC (and do not have to pay again for the lifetime of the program itself, avoiding any renewal costs or program increases). However, given this unique access, such members are ineligible for program closure refunds and would also not receive materials in the event of a program closure. (The benefit of a “Lifetime Membership” is limited to the lifetime of the program itself.)

It’s your responsibility to keep your contact information with us current, especially your email address. We are not responsible for finding your current contact information for the purposes of providing a refund in the event of a program closure (or otherwise). To update your email, please send us a note at info@greateststorycreative.com.

Financial Considerations

LIVE PROGRAM EVENTS / TRANSFERABILITY, CANCELATION & RESCHEDULING

*BRING A FRIEND FOR FREE*: If you already own a copy of the book, “Establish Yourself,” upon purchasing, you may “Bring a friend for free” - meaning you may choose to invite ONE individual to attend the live series with you and to receive a free ebook of “Establish Yourself” in your stead. Greatest Story Creative LLC will provide step-by-step instructions to invite a friend to receive this benefit, and said individual would need to register and agree to these same terms in order to participate and receive the ebook. Participation is limited to your cohort’s dates. Only one free ticket + ebook is provided with your registration (and may not be transferred once the book is claimed/downloaded by your intended recipient). Eligibility requires that you opt-out of receiving the book yourself.

TRANSFERABILITY: You may not resell access to the Offering, but you may gift the Offering to another service-based small business owner with prior written approval of your recipient by Greatest Story Creative LLC which must be obtained more than 2 business days prior to the first live event session of the Offering. To request written approval, contact us at team@greateststorycreative.com.

LIVE EVENT CANCELATION: In the unlikely case that the Offering is canceled before it occurs, you will receive a full refund of your original ticket investment within 7 calendar days of event cancelation.

LIVE EVENT RESCHEDULING: Before sessions have commenced, if the entire live event series tied to your Offering’s cohort needs to be rescheduled due to weather, illness, family emergency, or other considerations, you will have the option to request a refund for your Offering if the announced new live event series dates and times don’t work for your schedule. Once your cohort’s Offering sessions are in progress, if one or more dates/times need to be reasonably rescheduled (within a few days vs. weeks/months) due to an unforeseen emergency, participants will be provided with an optional email poll to determine the optimal reschedule dates/times and recordings will be provided, but refunds will not be provided in this situation. If you are unsure about whether investing in the Offering is a good fit for your needs, we encourage you to direct any questions about the Offering to team@greateststorycreative.com prior to your purchase.

REFUNDS

This program is offered at a significantly lower price point than all of our offerings that include live expert time with founder and experienced consultant, Annie Franceschi. (The investment level is comparable to buying only a copy of her book). Moreover, this offering includes the gift of a digital product which cannot be returned once downloaded.

For these reasons, this is a non-refundable experience. Limited-time replay access (for up to 30 days after the final session) is provided to all participants, and may be especially relevant to those who are unable to participate live for any reason.

If you are unhappy with the quality and value of the experience in relation to the amount you financially invested, we invite you to share your feedback and questions any time by emailing us at team@greateststorycreative.com.

CHARGEBACKS: You agree to make every attempt to file a refund prior to attempting a chargeback with your financial institution. In the event of a chargeback attempt, You expressly agree to forfeit any and all of Our bonuses, affiliate bonuses or other materials afforded to you in exchange for your original purchase of our Offering. We reserve the right to present proof of Your access and these Terms and Conditions of Use to the financial institution investigating the dispute.

REVOCATION OF ACCESS

You have the unilateral right to terminate your use and access to any of Our Offering(s). Please send an email to team@greateststorycreative.com to initiate this process. If you are on a payment plan for the program, termination will not excuse you of further payment. Upon confirmation of your termination, any and all outstanding balances will become immediately due and payable. Any existing balance that remains after 14 days from the date of termination will be sent to a collections agency, and You agree to be responsible for any additional charges, fees or costs associated with such a collection effort, including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs.

PRICING

We reserve the right to change the investment amount and availability for programs at any time. However, you may be able to lock-in your rate when such promotions are specifically offered/advertised (example: an Early Action rate) that you purchase using the promotion.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

If You and our Company cannot find a resolution to a dispute or potential claim by means of good-faith negotiation, then You explicitly agree to make a reasonable attempt to resolve any such dispute through Alternative Dispute Resolution or Mediation before filing a civil cause of action.

Indemnification, Limitation of Liability and Release of Claims

Indemnification

You agree at all times to indemnify and hold harmless our Company, as well as any of our affiliates, agents, contractors, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, joint venture partners, successors, transferees, assignees, and licensees, as applicable, from and against any and all claims, causes of action, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including legal fees and expenses, arising out of or related to our Offering(s).
