We reserve the right to revoke your access to the Bundle materials, without notice or refund (if applicable), if you are found to be violating these Terms and Conditions, including but not limited to unauthorized distribution, misuse, or intellectual property infringement. We also reserve the right to revoke access to Bundle materials or any free materials if we decide to update or replace the content. 

11. Cancellation Policy - When We Cancel

In the rare event that the training is canceled by the organizer due to unforeseen circumstances (such as illness, technical failure, or emergency), participants will be given the option to transfer their registration to a rescheduled training date. If the training is not rescheduled, participants will be given the offer of either a refund or a credit for future use for other classes. 

12. Cancellation Policy - When You Cancel

We understand that extenuating circumstances arise and you may not be able to attend a program you originally planned to attend. If you can no longer attend, you have several options:

1. You can postpone your registration to a future training, less a $25 admin fee. Future trainings may be the same one you originally signed up for, or a different training. 

2. You may participate in the training on-demand. Continuing education may or may not be granted in this case - see the individual training for details on CE credit. 

3. You may withdraw completely and either transfer the spot to another participant of your choice, or forego your payment. 

13. Refund Policy

Due to limited capacity for live trainings and immediate access to digital materials, we are unable to issue refunds. However, you are welcome to transfer your payment to a future course (for live trainings) or another participant, in accordance with the cancellation policy above, provided you have not seen any of the program materials yet. On-demand trainings are non-refundable and non-transferable due to immediate access. If you are unsure about purchasing, we encourage reviewing course details or contacting us prior to purchase.

14. Consent to Record

The Holistic & Functional Psychology Institute (HFPI) may record live trainings for future on-demand use. By participating in a live training, you consent to the recording and understand that it may be viewed by individuals beyond the live session. If you have concerns about your identity being visible or shared, you may modify your Zoom display name (e.g., use initials or an alias), and refrain from enabling video or sharing personal information during discussions. HFPI will make reasonable efforts to minimize the exposure of identifying details in published recordings.

15. Continuing Education

As of April 2025, The Holistic & Functional Psychology Institute (HFPI) is in the process of obtaining continuing education (CE) approval. Programs purchased before full approval is granted may not be accepted by your licensing board for CE credit.

If a course is later approved by a credentialing body, it is your sole responsibility to verify with your specific licensing board whether the CE credits meet their requirements. HFPI does not guarantee that any CE credits will be accepted by your board, as standards vary across professions and jurisdictions. Please confirm eligibility with your board before purchasing or completing any course for CE credit.

16. Confidentiality of Participant Information

We are committed to protecting your privacy. Information you provide for registration or participation will only be used for course administration, CE documentation, recording for future on-demand offerings, and direct communication regarding relevant offerings. We do not share participant information with third parties without consent, unless required by law.

17. Participant Complaints and Dispute Resolution Process

We are committed to maintaining a high standard of quality and professionalism in all programs. If a participant has a complaint or dispute related to program content, access, certification, or instructor conduct, they must submit the concern in writing within 15 days of the issue. Complaints should be emailed to holistichealthwithemma@gmail.com and must include the participant's name, the course involved, a description of the issue, and any supporting documentation. Complaints will be acknowledged within 5 business days and reviewed promptly. A formal response will be provided within 14 business days. If the participant is not satisfied with the resolution, they may submit one written appeal, which will be reviewed within the same timeframe as the original complaint. Decisions on appeals are final.

18. Duty to Read

I accept that under this agreement, I have a duty to read this agreement and the policies, and have done so. Furthermore, I understand and accept that I am precluded from using lack of reading as a defense against all remedies contained herein.​
