The DH Effect Terms of Use and Membership Policy

Hey there DH Effect Member!

Here's what we can share about the cancellation process and policy for The DH Effect Membership. First, please know that you can cancel your membership which will ensure there’s no further billing but we do not offer refunds or credits of any kind.

We have 2 Membership Payment plans with slightly different policies.

Please see both Monthly and Annual membership options and their prospective policies outlined below so you can make the best decision for your needs.

Monthly Subscribers to The DH Effect Membership:

To cancel your monthly membership, all you have to do is email your request to: thedheffect@gmail.com.

Our team will notify our billing department and process your request accordingly.
Please note, our team works Monday through Friday 9am to 5pm PST. Please be aware that refunds can take 7-10 business days to reflect on your statement.
This is a regular banking practice that we cannot control, but we will do all we can to avoid delays for you.

Upon your cancellation here’s what you can expect.

You’re the DH Effect Membership and Facebook Group access will be revoked on your next billing date and no further fee will be collected.
You’re also forfeiting any discounts applied to The DH Effect Store and all Events, and regular pricing will commence after the cancellation date.
You’re also forfeiting your pricing tier so if you opt to rejoin us in future you will be subject to the active pricing at that time.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF MEMBERSHIPS

Welcome to The DH Effect community of members! We have been waiting to meet you. These Terms and Conditions for Memberships (the “Terms and Conditions”) are intended to supplement The DH Effect’s Terms of Service for Website (“Terms of Service,” “TOS”) and, together with the Terms of Service, constitute a binding, contractual agreement between you and The DH Effect (“The DH Effect,” “we” or “us”) regarding your purchase or use of any DH Effect membership or other events and services.

A “Member” is anyone who purchases membership, either monthly or annually, with The DH Effect. In these Terms and Conditions, “The DH Effect” refers to any member.

These Terms and Conditions apply to Members. Every time you make a purchase from us or attend an event or receive any other service from The DH Effect, you acknowledge and accept these Terms and Conditions.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS INCLUDE AN ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. EXCEPT FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF DISPUTES MENTIONED IN THAT CLAUSE, YOU AND THE DH EFFECT AGREE THAT DISPUTES BETWEEN US WILL BE RESOLVED BY MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION, AND YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS ARBITRATION.

Our contact information is as follows:

The DH Effect
3344 Radcliffe Road
Thousand Oaks, CA 91360
Email: thedheffect@gmail.com

MEMBERSHIP

Specific details for each of the Memberships, including the commitment period, can be found on The DH Effect Website and/or in the promotional details provided at the time of purchase. Memberships cannot be shared or transferred, and any attempt to share or transfer a Membership will result in cancellation of the Membership, at The DH Effect’s sole discretion, without a refund.

MEMBERSHIP CANCELLATION

Members may cancel their Memberships, after the required commitment has been met, by providing written notice to theTheDHEffect@gmail.com or by notifying us through the “Contact Us” form on The DH Effect Website. After providing such notice, Member will be charged one additional time, with the Membership terminating thirty (30) days after the final payment date. Members who wish to cancel their Membership should notify The DH Effect before the billing date that corresponds to their final month of Membership to avoid paying unwanted dues. Membership dues will not be prorated based on the date of cancellation. Membership dues are non-refundable.

PAYMENTS

UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED BY THE DH EFFECT IN WRITING, MEMBERSHIP CHARGES WILL BEGIN AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE AND RECUR MONTHLY UNTIL CANCELLED BY THE MEMBER IN ACCORDANCE WITH OUR CANCELLATION POLICY STATED ABOVE. MEMBERSHIPS BEGIN AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE (AND NOT AT THE TIME OF MEMBER’S FIRST CLASS). THE MONTHLY DUES WILL BE CHARGED AUTOMATICALLY AND ON APPROXIMATELY THE SAME DAY OF THE MONTH THAT THE MEMBERSHIP COMMENCED AND ORIGINAL MEMBERSHIP PAYMENT WAS MADE (the “Billing Date”).

Billing dates cannot be moved to a different day of the month. If payment does not process successfully, the Membership will automatically become inactive until payment is made. Any lost time that results from payment processing failures will not be reimbursed or credited. If a payment does not process successfully, members can be subject to a $25 administrative fee for the time required to resolve payment. If multiple attempts to process payment are made, this fee will be charged for each attempt.

Cancelling a Membership before the end of the commitment period does not relieve Member of payment through the commitment period.

The DH Effect reserves the right to increase its Membership dues from time to time, and will provide Members written notice in advance of any increase and the opportunity to cancel their Membership once the increase is instated. Members who choose to continue their Membership will be charged the increased dues in the next billing cycle after the increase has been implemented. Please note that the advanced written notice and opportunity to cancel does not apply to Memberships that have automatic rate increases as described at the time of purchase.

TAXES

The DH Effect collects sales tax on taxable credits, memberships, and other products in California. Prices shown do not reflect any federal, state or local taxes. Taxes will be reflected during checkout based on the location and product.

FORM OF PAYMENT

All payments (including for monthly and annual Membership dues) are payable by electronic funds transfer from Member’s credit card account or debit card account. Payments for Membership dues may not be split between multiple cards, and processed payments may not be refunded in order to charge payment to a different card. Members must authorize payments to be made through a third party administered electronic funds transfer system. Members maintain full control and privacy over their account at all times.

RETURNED PAYMENT PENALTY

Members will automatically be charged any bank fee imposed on The DH Effect, plus a processing fee of up to $25, for any returned payment due to closed accounts, insufficient funds, or other reason. If this occurs, The DH Effect retains the right to collect the current and past due balances in any month after the returned payment.

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT; CLASS WAIVER; JURY WAIVER

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND THE DH EFFECT TO AGREE TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED.

A. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with the Terms and Conditions which cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and The DH Effect, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under the Terms and Conditions.

B. Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution. Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief. A Notice to The DH Effect should be sent to: The DH Effect, 3344 Radcliffe Road, Thousand Oaks, CA 91360, Attention: Legal. After the Notice is received, you and The DH Effect may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If you and The DH Effect do not resolve the claim or dispute within 30 days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.

C. Arbitration Rules. Arbitration shall be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section. If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of this arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Terms and Conditions. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (“Arbitration Rules”) governing the arbitration are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than ten thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is ten thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the Arbitration Rules. Any hearing will be held in the city of New York, New York, unless the parties agree otherwise. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

D. Additional Rules for Non-Appearance Based Arbitration. If non-appearance arbitration is elected, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online, and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties.

E. Authority of Arbitrator. If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and The DH Effect, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the AAA Rules, and the Terms and Conditions. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and The DH Effect.

F. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE

A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than court proceedings and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and The DH Effect in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND THE DH EFFECT WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.

G. Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.

H. Severability. If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed, and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

I. Right to Waive. Any or all of the rights and limitations set forth in this Arbitration Agreement may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Arbitration Agreement.

J. Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with The DH Effect.

K. Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or The DH Effect may bring an individual action in small claims court.

L. Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek equitable relief before a court of competent jurisdiction for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents or emergency equitable relief before a court of competent jurisdiction in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Agreement.
