Terms of Service

Effective July 9, 2026 · Last updated July 9, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website at ownyourselfnow.com and any related educational content, waitlists, live sessions, cohorts, newsletters, and community features (together, the “Services”) provided by Own Yourself Now (“we,” “us,” or the “Company”). Please read them carefully.

1. Acceptance of these Terms

By accessing or using the Services, joining a waitlist, enrolling in a program, or otherwise interacting with us, you agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Community Guidelines. If you do not agree, do not use the Services. If you use the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind it. You also represent that you are at least 18 years old and able to form a legally binding contract.

2. Description of the Services

We offer educational materials and programs for founders and prospective business owners, which may include: free informational content; a waitlist for cohorts; paid, cohort-based educational programs; live coaching or office-hours sessions; a newsletter; and a peer-support community. The Services teach you to navigate the process of building or buying a business and to identify the questions and decisions involved. They do not perform legal, immigration, tax, or accounting work for you, and they do not guarantee any immigration, business, or financial outcome.

3. No professional advice; tools provided “as is”

All content, templates, checklists, frameworks, and tools are provided for general educational purposes on an “as is” and “as available” basis. They are not legal, immigration, tax, financial, or accounting advice, and must not be relied upon as such. Laws and government rules change and apply differently to each person. You are solely responsible for your own decisions and for engaging your own licensed attorney, immigration counsel, tax professional, and CPA. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to USCIS or any government agency. We do not guarantee any specific immigration, visa, business, financial, or other outcome; results depend on your own facts, your own actions, and factors outside our control, including decisions by government agencies.

4. Waitlists, enrollment, and payments

Joining a waitlist is free and creates no obligation. Paid programs are offered by application and are subject to the price, schedule, and any additional program terms presented at the time of enrollment. Refunds. Because seats are limited and reserved for you, you may request a full refund up to 7 days before your cohort’s start date. You may also request a full refund within the first 7 days after the cohort begins if you have attended the first session and decide it is not for you. After that point, fees are non-refundable, as your seat cannot be reallocated. If we cancel or reschedule a cohort, you may choose a full refund or a transfer to a future cohort. To request a refund, email info@ownyourselfnow.com before the applicable deadline. This policy does not limit any rights you may have under applicable law. Payments are processed by a third-party payment processor; we do not store full payment-card details.

5. Referrals to professionals

We may introduce you to attorneys, accountants, or other professionals. Some may be members of a professional referral network with whom we have a reciprocal, relationship-based arrangement — we may refer participants to them and they may refer clients to us. We disclose that relationship here, and we receive no fee, commission, or payment for any referral. Any such introduction is informational only. You are responsible for independently evaluating, selecting, and engaging any professional, and any relationship you form with them is solely between you and them.

6. Intellectual property

The Services and all content, including text, graphics, logos, curricula, and the “Own Yourself Now” name and marks, are owned by the Company or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the content for your own individual, non-commercial use. You may not copy, reproduce, republish, resell, distribute, or create derivative works from the content, or use it to build a competing product, without our prior written permission.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the Services for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation;
• rely on the Services as legal, immigration, tax, or financial advice, or represent to others that we have provided such advice;
• resell, sublicense, scrape, or systematically extract the content or share paid materials with non-members;
• impersonate any person, or provide false or misleading information;
• harass, abuse, or harm other participants, or post unlawful, infringing, or misleading content in any community feature;
• interfere with or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services or their infrastructure.

8. Third-party links and services

The Services may contain links to, or integrations with, third-party websites and services — including, for example, a scheduling or booking tool (such as Google Calendar), a form/waitlist provider, a payment processor, and email or community platforms. These third parties are independent of us and governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, availability, security, or practices. Your use of any third-party service is at your own risk.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Services are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, non-infringement, or that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any content is current, complete, or correct. You assume all risk for your use of the Services and any decisions you make.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will the Company or its owners, employees, contractors, or affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, business opportunity, or immigration status, arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the Services, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Services will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the specific program giving rise to the claim in the twelve months before the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its owners, employees, and contractors from any claims, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your use of the Services, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.

12. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that the exclusive venue for any dispute not subject to arbitration will be the state and federal courts located in Santa Clara, California, and you consent to their jurisdiction. Any claim or dispute arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms must be commenced within one year after the claim arose; otherwise it is permanently barred, to the extent permitted by law.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above and, for material changes, provide reasonable notice. Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

14. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms or for any lawful reason. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law) will survive.

15. Eligibility and export compliance

You may use the Services only where you can lawfully do so. By using the Services, you represent that you are not located in, and are not a national or resident of, any country or region subject to comprehensive U.S. or other applicable sanctions or embargoes, and that you are not identified on any government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You agree to comply with all applicable export-control and sanctions laws.

16. Feedback

If you send us feedback, ideas, or suggestions about the Services, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use them for any purpose without restriction or compensation. If you provide a testimonial or comment, you permit us to use it in connection with the Services; if you later ask us to stop using it, we will honor that request going forward.
