Please read carefully. By enrolling in this Program, you (herein referred to as “Fellowship Candidate”) agree to the following terms stated herein.

PROGRAM/SERVICE

Birthing of Giants Accelerator, LLC (herein referred to as “BOG” or “Company”) agrees to provide the Program, “Birthing of Giants” or “Gathering of Giants” (herein referred to as “Program”).

DEFERMENT

Birthing of Giants Fellowship Program

If you wish to defer starting the Program, you may do so once during the year. If you defer more than 60 days prior to the start of the session there is no additional cost.  Deferment of less than 60 days prior to the start of the session will result in a deferment charge of $4,500. This is in addition to any current fees you owe on your tuition payment. If the enrollment fee has increased, you will be required to pay the difference between the fee when you first enrolled and the current fee at the time you will participate in the Program.

If after deferring your participation in the Birthing of Giants Program, as stated in the Deferment paragraph above, you decide your purchase was not the right decision, you may cancel your enrollment 90 days or more prior to the start of the next live event and you will be entitled to a 50% refund of the total amount you were scheduled to have paid by that date or the total amount you have paid IF it is less than 50% of what you were scheduled to have paid by that date. Cancellation more than 30 days prior, but less than 60 days, to the start of the next live event entitles you to a 10% refund of the total amount you were scheduled to have paid by that date or the total amount you have paid IF it is less than 10% of what you were scheduled to have paid by that date. Cancellation less than 30 days prior to the start of the next live event results in a forfeiture of the entire tuition.

After one year of deferment from the original start date of the Program, you may request a 10% refund of the total amount paid and cancel your participation in the Program. Contact our support team at [email protected] to request a refund.

Gathering of Giants

The Gathering of Giants program offers a one-time payment plan and a monthly payment plan. 

If you are unable to attend an upcoming Gathering of Giants session, please notify Birthing of Giants’ Concierge ([email protected]).

Less Than 31 Days Prior to an Upcoming Session*

If you request to defer your Gathering of Giants session less than 31 days prior to an upcoming session,  your payments will be applied to that session. 

31 Days or More Before an Upcoming Session*

When you defer 31 days or more, you have a “credit” towards the next Gathering of Giants session. If you are on a monthly payment plan, your payments will continue as previously scheduled and you will receive a credit towards the next event. We only maintain a single session credit at any time so if you defer a second time, we will pause your payment schedule until your payments catch up.

If, for whatever reason you are unable to make it to one of our live events, please advise us no later than 90 days prior to the event in order to defer to the next scheduled session at no extra cost. Deferment may only be exercised once during the year. If the enrollment fee has increased, you will be required to pay the difference between the fee when you first enrolled and the current fee at the time you will attend the live event.

If after deferring your participation in the Gathering of Giants Program as stated in the Deferment paragraph above, you decide your purchase was not the right decision, you may cancel your enrollment 90 days or more prior to the start of the next live event and you will be entitled to a 50% refund of the total amount you were scheduled to have paid by that date or the total amount you have paid IF it is less than 50% of what you were scheduled to have paid by that date. Cancellation more than 30 days prior, but less than 60 days, to the start of the next live event entitles you to a 10% refund of the total amount you were scheduled to have paid by that date or the total amount you have paid IF it is less than 10% of what you were scheduled to have paid by that date. Cancellation less than 30 days prior to the start of the next live event results in a forfeiture of the entire tuition.

*Participants who have joined the Gathering of Giants program using either the Board of Experts or Ambassador Scholarships are eligible for one deferment during the term of their scholarship. In the event that a second deferment is requested, the participant shall forfeit the remaining Gathering of Giants sessions, and the scholarship shall be deemed null and void.
