TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Last Updated: April 7, 2026. These terms are subject to change without notice.


TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Dr. DaShanne Stokes (“host” / “Dr. Stokes”) reserves the right to update, change, or replace any part of these Terms and Conditions at any time without prior notice. It is your responsibility to check this page periodically for changes. Your continued use of or access to the webinar series or materials following the posting of any changes constitutes acceptance of those changes.


PRICING

Prices are subject to change without notice, but the price at the time of purchase is final.


PAYMENT TERMS

Access is only granted once payment is fully processed. All funds are to be in United States Dollars (USD).


NON-TRANSFERABILITY

Tickets may not be sold, traded, or gifted to any other individual without express written consent from the Host. Purchase or registration for webinar content grants a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license for personal use only.


NO REFUND POLICY

All sales are final. No refunds will be provided for non-attendance or technical issues on the user’s end.


By registering for webinar content, single session or otherwise, the registrant confirms that they have read and agree to the Terms & Conditions, including the No-Refund policy.


Regardless of attendance or use of materials, NO REFUNDS will be issued once registration is complete. Technical or other difficulties on the part of the attendee do not qualify for a refund. This includes, but is not limited to, changes in personal schedule, lack of interest, or accidental registration.


Registration fees for the 'Citizen's Survival Guide' series are non-refundable. Because this is a live event with immediate access to digital materials and proprietary content, all sales are final. If you cannot attend live, Early Bird, Full Pass, and Vault holders will still have access to the session recordings as outlined in their registration tier at the time of sign-up.


INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND NO RECORDING POLICY

You may not record, reproduce, or distribute any portion of the webinar content without prior written consent.

2. Prohibited Recording and Distribution
