Prepare to Launch U

 

Site Guidelines (I)
Site Policies (II)
Additional Legal Terms (III)

Please read these site guidelines, site policies, and additional legal terms (collectively, the “Terms”) carefully before you start to use the PTLU Launchpad website (the “Site”). By using and/or registering with the Site, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms. If you do not want to agree to these Terms, you must not access or use Site.

We may revise and update these Terms from time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of revised Terms means that you accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check this page so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.

1. Guidelines for becoming part of the PTLU Community via Slack:

Greetings launchers! We are so happy you are here and look forward to connecting with you and your cohort via the community platform, Slack.

A private Slackspace will be set up exclusively for use by you and the other members of your semester’s cohorts. The platform is flexible; you control what and how much information you share, and when you share it. To ensure productive and safe interactions through Slack, we have assembled these three ground rules to be followed whenever you connect and interact with others through the Site:

    • Respect: The whats, whens, hows, and whys of returning to work or changing careers are personal, and vary widely. While communicating with other launchers, show respect for their choices and their personal situations by supporting, encouraging, and offering only constructive criticism.
    • Confidentiality: Participants in the PTLU community may share personal information about their lives and their feelings. Always honor this sharing by keeping it confidential. What is shared in our Slack group, stays there. In addition, any supplemental or complementary instructional PTLU materials posted on Slack are copyright protected and intended only for your use during the program, they are not to be copied, duplicated, or shared.
    • Professionalism: Practice what you will be called on to demonstrate in the workplace by being professional in your interactions with others in Slack. Use the space only for its explicit purpose (connecting and sharing experiences with other launchers) and not for personal gain (selling a product), illegal actions (plagiarism, trafficking), or unsavory practices (harassment, profanity, pornography).

Prepare to Launch U was designed to help you successfully launch back to work - in a company or on your own; full-time or part-time; paid or unpaid - that best suits your life and your goals.

Taking the PTLU course does not guarantee success; there is no promise of job placement. That depends on YOU and how well you implement what you learn in this course.

The Prepare to Launch U Career Relaunch Course Money-Back Guarantee

 

We want you to be fully satisfied with our ten-week Prepare to Launch U Career Relaunch Course, and the best way to accomplish this is to fully engage in, and give your best effort to, all components and features of the course.

We are so confident that this Prepare to Launch U program will meet your needs that we offer a 14-day money-back guarantee on the course, governed by the following terms:

  1. You contact us by the 14th day of the course at 11:59 EST
  2. You provide screenshots of the completed pages in your course companion workbook, showing that you thoughtfully did the work for the period of time you were enrolled
  3. You participate in at least one of the first three video cohort calls
  4. You share with us, in writing, why our Career Relaunch Course was not a good fit for you - specifically what you expected to get out of the program that you did not get.

Your refund request must come by day 14 of the course cohort; no refunds will be offered beyond that point. After day 14, all payments are non-refundable and you are responsible for full payment of the fees for the program regardless of whether you complete it. This includes monthly payments if you opted for a payment plan.

Upon determining that you are entitled to a refund pursuant to this policy, Prepare to Launch LLC will promptly instruct its payment processor to issue the refund. If you pay in full, you will receive a full refund. If you choose to pay on a monthly payment plan, payment for month one will be refunded, and invoices for all future months will be terminated. We do not control the payment processor and therefore will not be able to expedite any refunds.

If you receive a refund of any purchase through this money-back guarantee, it shall immediately terminate any and all licenses granted you to use the material provided to you under this Agreement and the Company’s Terms of Use. You shall immediately cease using the material and shall destroy or disable all copies of the information provided to you, including without limitation: video recordings, audio recordings, workbooks, downloadable template documents, membership areas, social media groups limited to paying members, and other resources.

All refunds are discretionary as determined by Prepare to Launch LLC.
