_________________ (participant name), thank you for joining STORRIE Institute™, for Level 2 STORRIE Academy™: STORRIE Wholistic Wellness Coach™ Certification Program (the “Program”). This agreement is between Build Empire And Change Health, Inc., a California corporation doing business as the Storrie Institute (“Company”), and you the participant signing this document (“Participant” or “you”).  This Agreement becomes effective on the day that the Participant signs this document. Participant is a business owner and enters this Agreement in Participant’s business capacity. 

This Purposes of this Agreement:

This Agreement is made so that Participant can participate in the STORRIE Institute™ - STORRIE Wholistic Wellness Coach™ Certification program. The Program has two parts: an education and implementation component for use in Participant’s own business, and upon completion of certain requirements, a certification component which allows Participant to call herself a Certified STORRIE Wholistic Wellness Coach™ and market the Program to third parties within Company guidelines and upon purchase of a license.

This Agreement DOES NOT do any of these things:

This Agreement does not make Company and the Participant partners, joint venturers, co-owners, principals or agents, or employers or employees of one another, or give Participant the right to reteach the program materials as a business coach or consultant.

This Agreement does not sell or otherwise transfer ownership of Company’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets or other intellectual property (“Intellectual Property”).       

This Agreement does not promise financial results.

THE BASICS

  1.  The Program Price is $7,490 USD or 8 courtesy payments of $998 USD, payable every 30 days until paid in full. You have selected the option on the order form, which is incorporated herein by reference. Even if you select to pay the Program Price over 8 courtesy payments, you will qualify for the Program Price of $7,490 USD if you pay that amount in full within 3 months of this Agreement’s start date. The Program Price is also subject to the terms of any discounts or special promotions stated in a document issued by the Company that you and the Company attach to this Agreement.
  2.  The Program is an eight month live support experience that includes pre-recorded and live training calls and question and answer sessions.
  3.  This Agreement, the Company’s publicly available Policies and Disclaimers, and the Credit Card Authorization, if any, form the entire agreement between us. These written documents supersede our prior discussions, emails, online or voice messages. By signing, you agree that there is no information that you deem materially important that is not incorporated into this Agreement.

THIS IS WHAT YOUR PURCHASE INCLUDES AS A PARTICIPANT

  1.  Access to the online portal. You receive access to the Company’s online portal, which includes Trainings and Templates to facilitate implementation of the Program in Participant’s own business. Specifically, the portal houses “The STORRIE Method™,” a seven part eCourse that is a prerequisite for certification.
  2.  Series of Certification Teleseminar Trainings and Q&A Sessions. Approximately once monthly, a live Q&A session will be held as an opportunity to ask questions specific to your business. On occasion, trainings will be held live and might be recorded for replay and housed in the online portal.
  3.  Certification Opportunity. Upon notice from Company and completion of the requirements you will find under the heading “Certification Prerequisites” in this Agreement, you may call yourself a Certified STORRIE Wholistic Wellness Coach™ and market your status in accordance with the Company policies identified in this Agreement.

Please understand: Occasionally the curriculum, guest experts, and channels to access the Program and its representatives may have to change based on group needs, available technology, and factors outside the Company’s control. The Company will replace or substitute the items above, if it determines it is necessary to do so in its sole discretion, with something similar of equal or greater value.

CERTIFICATION PREREQUISITES

"Certified" means the Participant has completed the requirements above, and agrees to meet and maintain compliance with other requirements set out in this Agreement to have continuing access to certain of the Company's Intellectual Property for purposes of marketing the Program.

Exhibit A

Marketing Guidelines

Anyone certified by the Company is required to implement best practices when marketing the Program so that the chance of a deceptive marketing claim is minimized. These guidelines are offered as a courtesy and a starting point for your own research about marketing claims. You are also encouraged to retain legal counsel to advise you.

What is a marketing message? Any website copy, Facebook post, Facebook group interaction, webinar presentation, guest post, or advertisement is a marketing message if it would be considered by a consumer in making a purchasing decision. If you are not sure if a statement is a marketing message, think of the statement in the opposite form and ask yourself if making the opposite statement would negatively impact the desirability of the product. If so, it is a marketing message.

There are two types of marketing messages: Express Promises and Implied Promises.

Never make an Express Promise. These often contain words like “You will [achieve some result]” or “We promise [a specific outcome].” You cannot guarantee an outcome because many factors come into play which are out of your control. 

Implied Promises do not promise results, but do suggest what results could be possible.

You may use Implied Promises in marketing the Program if they meet three qualifications:

  1.  100% truthful (to the penny or pound) and not exaggerated (for example, failing to clarify that the figures are gross, rather than net revenue).

Desirable results sell, and anything that influences a purchasing decision is a marketing message.

  1.  Not misleading or unfair.

Your statements must tell the whole truth, not the “truth by omission” or a statement that is only “technically” truthful. Do not make statements about earnings if they were not directly related to the implementation of the Program.

  1.  Evidence based. That means proof!

You cannot make any statement that you do not have evidence to back up, whether through screenshots, emails, or otherwise. It can be tempting to use any result as support for a particular program’s results, but this is not based on evidence. Don’t use it!

Remember: Implied promises are in the eye of the beholder. You want to be sure that all of the necessary information is present to make your marketing messages truthful and not misleading, because your potential clients may make a purchasing decision even if you did not mean to imply a promise about results.
