To Be Magnetic Member Policies
Upon purchase of any To Be Magnetic digital workshop or membership plan, the purchaser agrees to the following company policies. We reserve the right to make changes to any of our policies at any time. As a user of the website you are agreeing to these policies and any future revisions during your membership term. As a company, we will do our best to inform our users to any adjustments made, however it is ultimately the responsibility of the purchaser to be aware and comprehend the following policies.
Cancellation Policy: Upon purchase of the Pathway 1.0 or 2.0 the purchaser is agreeing to pay the total sum of the 6 or 12 month membership in equal monthly installments, billed automatically each month on the same calendar date post purchase. A Pathway 1.0 or 2.0 member may cancel their membership within the first 72 hours of enrollment for a $50 cancellation fee. TBM reserves the right to refuse cancellation to any Pathway 1.0 or 2.0 member. After 72 hours the member is committed to the remaining payments on their membership and may either maintain the membership monthly payment plan or complete the owed amount as one payment via PayPal. If a member opts to pay the remainder of their membership amount as one payment via PayPal, their access will be removed upon receipt of their payment and no refunds will be permitted for previous access time on the Pathway.
A Pathway Month-to-Month member may cancel their membership themselves at any time from their dashboard or by writing in to the customer support chat and requesting cancellation.
All a la carte purchases are final sale with the exception of our Upgrade Policy.
The Supported subscription may be cancelled at any time by logging in and cancelling from the dashboard or by writing in and requesting cancellation.

Plan Expiration Policy: Upon expiration of any TBM subscription your access will end without contact or action needed from the member. There are no plans set to auto renew.
Plan Extension Policy: There is no option to extend or add access time to any TBM plans, including the Pathway 1.0 & 2.0 memberships & all a la carte purchases. There are no exceptions made to this policy.
Refund Policy: We do not provide refunds for previous months on the Pathway, even if the member has not logged in. We also do not provide refunds for a la carte workshops even if the purchaser did not log in during their access time to view the content. If there is an issue with billing, it is the responsibility of the purchaser to alert the company of the error and maintain awareness of transactions posting to their account. TBM has the ability to process refunds for those who are eligible, for payments which occurred up to a month prior. For transactions which occurred over a month prior, TBM maintains the right to refuse refund even if the transaction was completed in error.
Option to Freeze Policy: There is no option to pause or freeze any TBM plan, including the Pathway 1.0 & 2.0 memberships & all a la carte purchases. Billing systems for Memberspace (Pathway 1.0) & Teachable (Pathway 2.0) memberships are automated.
Billing Policy: If you are a Pathway 1.0 member and have a failed payment, the system will retry the charge up to 4 times before cancelling your plan. A Smart Retry system is used to determine optimal times for payment retries but typically these attempts are all processed w/in a week. After the 4th failed billing attempt your plan will be canceled.
If you are a Pathway 2.0 member and have a failed payment, the system will attempt again 3 days later, 8 days later, and 15 days later. If your payment fails on the 15th day your plan will be cancelled and access will end.
We do not have the ability to reinstate cancelled plans and the member will be responsible for purchasing the plan again. The member will be subject to the current rate and previous discount codes or plan rates may not be available. Please note with the start of a new plan the system will start you at month 1 and TBM does not have the ability to adjust what month you are on to account for months completed on previously cancelled plans.
Discount Code Policy: TBM reserves the right to cancel or refuse any discount code at any time without notice. If a customer forgets to use a discount code at purchase, TBM reserves the right to refuse to retroactively apply any discount code.
Legacy Member Policy: There are no tiered discounts offered to customers who own lifetime access a la carte workshops.
Upgrade Policy: If a customer purchases an a la carte workshop and decides they would rather join the Pathway, they may cancel and be granted a full refund within three days of their registration. After three days there are no refunds granted on workshops and it is advised that the member wait until the access time is done to sign up for the Pathway membership.
As Is Policy: Upon purchase of any TBM workshop or membership plan, the consumer is agreeing to the purchased content as is and there are no guaranteed upgrades or improvements. The company reserves the right to update & alter the existing content and sell these upgraded versions separately.

If you have any dispute with TO BE MAGNETIC, you and TO BE MAGNETIC agree that before taking any formal action, you will contact us through the support chat bubble on the bottom right hand corner of the website, provide a brief, written description of the dispute and your contact information (including the email address associated with your account, if your dispute relates to an account), and allow sixty (60) days to pass, during which TO BE MAGNETIC will attempt to reach an amicable resolution of any issue with you.
- Applicable Law. You and TO BE MAGNETIC agree that United States federal law including the Federal Arbitration Act, and (to the extent not inconsistent with or pre-empted by federal law) the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflict of laws principles, will govern all Covered Matters. Such body of law will apply regardless of your residence or the location of where you use the TO BE MAGNETIC Services.
- Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes. You and TO BE MAGNETIC agree that these Terms and each of its parts evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce, and the Federal Arbitration Act applies in all cases and governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration rules and arbitration proceedings. Any Covered Matter must be asserted individually in binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Consumer Arbitration Rules (including the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, if applicable). You and TO BE MAGNETIC further agree that:
- The arbitrator will utilize desk, phone, or video conference proceedings where appropriate and permitted to mitigate costs of travel.
- The arbitrator will not conduct any form of class or collective arbitration nor join or consolidate claims by or for individuals.
- The arbitrator, and not any federal, international, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms, including any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable or a particular claim is subject to arbitration.
- The Arbitrator’s Award. You and TO BE MAGNETIC agree that for matters where the relief sought is over $5,000, the arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different Users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same User to the extent required by applicable law. You TO BE MAGNETIC agree that the arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in and enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction. YOU AND TO BE MAGNETIC AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER USERS.
- Exceptions To Our Agreement To Arbitrate Disputes. There are only two exceptions to this agreement to arbitrate:
- First, if either party reasonably believes that the other party has in any manner violated or threatened to infringe the intellectual property rights of the other party, the party whose rights have been violated may seek injunctive or other appropriate interim relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.
- Second, each party will retain the right to seek relief in a small claims court within the United States for disputes or claims brought on an individual basis within the scope of the jurisdiction of such courts.
- Who Bears the Costs of Arbitration. You and TO BE MAGNETIC agree that payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules, unless otherwise stated in this agreement to arbitrate. If the value of the relief sought is $5,000 or less, at your written request, TO BE MAGNETIC will reimburse you for the filing, administration, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration following the earlier of the arbitrator’s decision or settlement, provided that you make your request no more than thirty (30) days following the earlier of such decision or settlement. In the event the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration to be frivolous or without merit, you agree that TO BE MAGNETIC is relieved of its obligation to reimburse you for any fees associated with the arbitration.
- Future Amendments to the Agreement to Arbitrate. Notwithstanding any provision in the Terms to the contrary, you and TO BE MAGNETIC agree that if TO BE MAGNETIC makes any amendment to the agreement to arbitrate under this Section in the future, that amendment shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against TO BE MAGNETIC prior to the effective date of the amendment. However, the amendment shall apply to all other disputes or claims governed by the agreement to arbitrate that have arisen or may arise between you and TO BE MAGNETIC. If you do not agree to these amended terms, you may close your account within thirty (30) days of the posting or notification of such amended terms and you will not be bound by the amended terms.
- Judicial Forum for Legal Disputes. Unless you and TO BE MAGNETIC agree otherwise and except as described in Section (Small Claims Court), in the event that the agreement to arbitrate above is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute, either as a result of your decision to opt out of the agreement to arbitrate, or as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order, or because you are an international User to which this agreement to arbitrate does not apply, you agree (except as otherwise provided by law) that any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between You and TO BE MAGNETIC must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Los Angeles County, California. You and TO BE MAGNETIC agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Los Angeles County, California for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.
- YOU MAY OPT-OUT OF ARBITRATION. IF YOU ARE A NEW TO BE MAGNETIC USER, YOU CAN CHOOSE TO REJECT THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE PROVISION (“OPT-OUT”) BY CONTACTING US THROUGH THE SUPPORT CHAT BUBBLE (“OPT-OUT NOTICE”). THE OPT-OUT NOTICE MUST BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER THE DATE YOU ACCEPT THE TERMS OF USE FOR THE FIRST TIME. IF YOU ARE NOT A NEW TO BE MAGNETIC USER, YOU HAVE UNTIL THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER THE POSTING OF THE NEW TERMS TO SUBMIT AN ARBITRATION OPT-OUT NOTICE.
- Arbitration Opt-Out Procedure. In order to opt-out, you must contact us with your name, address (including your street address, city, state, and zip code), email address(es) associated with your account(s) to which the opt-out applies, and an unaltered digital image of your valid driver’s license. This procedure is the only way you can opt out of the agreement to arbitrate in this Section. If you opt out of the agreement to arbitrate, all other parts of the Terms and this Section will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this agreement to arbitrate has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with TO BE MAGNETIC.
- YOU WAIVE CERTAIN RIGHTS. BY AGREEING TO THE TERMS, YOU HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE (i) TO A COURT TRIAL (OTHER THAN SMALL CLAIMS COURT AS PROVIDED ABOVE), (ii) TO SERVE AS A REPRESENTATIVE, AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR IN ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS, IN ANY LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING FILED AGAINST US AND/OR RELATED THIRD PARTIES, AND (iii) TO A TRIAL BY JURY EVEN IF ANY ARBITRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE TERMS.
- STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS FOR YOUR CLAIMS. REGARDLESS OF ANY STATUTE OR LAW TO THE CONTRARY, ANY COVERED MATTER MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISES OR IT WILL BE FOREVER BARRED.
- All terms of these Terms, which by their nature would survive the termination, shall survive.
- Force Majeure: Under no circumstances shall TO BE MAGNETIC or its licensor or supplier be held liable for any delay or failure in performance resulting directly or indirectly from an event beyond its reasonable control.
- No Waiver; Severability: No waiver of any term of these Terms will be binding unless in writing, no waiver of any term of these Terms will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and the failure of TO BE MAGNETIC to exercise or enforce any right or remedy in these Terms does not waive that right or remedy. If an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms to be invalid, the parties agree that the court should endeavor to give effect, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
