Awareness Accelerator Terms of Use
Effective date: August 1, 2021
All individual and institutional participants in Awareness Accelerator must accept these terms in order to participate. Institutional payment of an invoice or offer indicates acceptance of terms on behalf of that institution and its participants.
Notice/Acceptance of Terms: This Terms of Use Agreement (the “Agreement”) is a contract between you and Joyous Justice. Joyous Justice operates the website found at the address www.joyousjustice.com and https://joyous-justice.mykajabi.com (the “Sites”). This Agreement governs your use of the Sites. Be sure that you carefully read and fully understand this Agreement. Joyous Justice is willing to provide you with access to the Sites only on the condition that you accept all of the terms and conditions (the “Terms”) contained in this Agreement. This Agreement governs your use of the Sites. Please read all of the Terms carefully. By using the Sites, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to the Terms, you are not authorized to use the Sites. Joyous Justice reserves the right to modify the Terms at any time by posting a notice on the homepage of the Sites. Your use of the Sites after the notice is posted indicates you agree to the changes.
The Awareness Accelerator community forum is your space to connect, create, share, and inspire. Our goal for this group is for Awareness Accelerator participants (Awareniks) to get support, and offer support to each other. It's up to us to keep the official Awareness community a safe, brave, accepting, and encouraging space for everyone, so please read and agree to the guidelines below.
Awareness Accelerator is primarily a social justice educational learning experience, not an institutional change cohort. The participant understands that the impact of the program on them will depend on the degree to which they invest their time, energy, and focus into the program (weekly assignments, community forum participation, weekly havruta sessions, etc.). Joyous Justice Facilitators will only be available through the pre-recorded videos, the community forum, and the monthly community calls.
Be Kind: We have a zero tolerance policy for negativity, bullying, drama, gossip, or toxic energy. Encourage and support your fellow Awareniks. Never make anyone feel unwelcome or judged; treat everyone with love and acceptance. If you disagree or have an opposing viewpoint to share, do it with respect, honor, and from a place of compassion. Spirited debate about ideas or concepts is awesome, personal attacks are not. If you can’t be kind, be quiet. Violation of this rule is grounds for immediate and permanent removal from the community without a refund.
No Disparaging: This is a no venting zone: about Tracie, April, the Joyous Justice Team, the AwAc program, or anyone else, Awarenik or not. We don’t put anyone down, be it other programs, teachers or people. This applies to issues with other Awareniks as well. Do not create drama by posting “A certain Awarenik did X and I’m so upset” or “Someone in this group did Y, that wasn’t cool.” If you have an issue or grievance — either with the program, or each other, bring it directly to the party you have an issue with. Find resolution. It’s the adult and responsible thing to do. If you feel it’s important for us to know, please take screenshots, collect your records of the transactions or communications, and write [email protected]. We encourage accountability and will take action if necessary.
Be Generous: Give more than you ask. Share what you’re working on, but keep a larger emphasis on sharing support, wisdom, and encouragement. Think 3:1. Give 3X more support, insight, and encouragement than you ask for.
Don’t Promote Your Work or Services: The primary intention of the community is to stay connected to your fellow participants, share ideas, get and give support, and to form genuine connections. It’s not a place to find customers, or recruit people to other programs or groups (even free ones). Be upfront, clear, and honest. Share from a place of learning and helping, and use this community as an educational support system. If you promote yourself or your services, your post will be removed.
Be Ethical & Original - Intellectual Property Policy: All program materials, including instructor videos, the order of assignments and reflection questions, are the intellectual property of Joyous Justice. Reading, podcast, and video assignments are the intellectual property of their creators, who must be credited appropriately if quoted.
Also, don’t copy, steal or share other people’s intellectual property. Don’t reuse or repurpose other Awareniks’ content without express permission. If you have a question or case of infringement, write to the party directly. Be sure to take screenshots and capture all communication to prove your case. If you need further assistance, write to us directly at [email protected]. We take these issues seriously and it is grounds for possible removal from the program and community. If we find that you are only here to take others’ work as your own, this is NOT the place for you and you will be removed without refund.
Don’t Spam, Mass Mail or Violate Privacy. Never email or contact other members without their permission, or add people to your newsletter list. Violating this is grounds for immediate removal without refund. If in doubt — write [email protected]. We’re always here to help finesse any situation; better safe than sorry.
Program Fees: Your fee payment covers your access to all program materials for six months from the day that you register. Program fees may be paid as a single, up-front payment, or in three equal installments monthly (there is a 20% discount for Awareniks who choose to pay-in-full upfront). If a participant on a monthly plan fails to make timely payments of the second or third installment, their access to the course materials will be revoked until such time as payment is made.
Availability of seats purchased via bulk tiered pricing: For organizations that purchase a tiered bulk pricing, you have two years to access the total number of seats in your chosen tier. For organizations who make Awareness Accelerator a part of orientation or onboarding for new staff and/or board, this allows you to pre-pay (at a better discount) your future team-members’ participation. Your two years will be calculated as a 24-month period that starts on the date of your payment or your first team member accessing the course, whichever happens first.
Refund Policy: Your satisfaction with Awareness Accelerator is important to us. Yet, because of the extensive time, effort, preparation and care that goes into creating and/or providing our training, products and services, you acknowledge that we do not offer refunds for any portion of your payment for any of our Awareness Accelerator trainings, Products or Services.
