The following term and conditions constitute a binding agreement (“Agreement”) between Catchline Communications (“Company”) and any person ("Client") accessing the Company website at catchlinecommunications.com (“Website”), enrolling in free or paid workshops or cohort programs, joining the Writing Practice community ("Community"), or hiring the Company for one-to-one consulting (collectively, the "Services"). This Agreement governs the use of all materials, platforms, and services used or provided by the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the Company. “You” refers to you, a Client of the Company. By engaging in our Services, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth below.

By engaging in Services offered by the Company, you warrant that you have read and reviewed this Agreement and agree to be bound by it. If you do not agree to be bound by this Agreement, please do not engage with the Company. Your refusal to be bound by this Agreement does not entitle you to a refund.

Membership in the Community is available through a month-to-month subscription and is limited to 50 Clients. Subscriptions renew automatically. This means that once you become a subscribing member, your subscription will automatically renew each month. For the duration of your membership, you will be charged the rate stated at the time you joined. You will receive a renewal reminder three days before your subscription renews. You may cancel your subscription at any time, and your subscription will continue for the remainder of the current monthly billing period. You will not receive a refund. Prices and terms for subscriptions may change at any time. The price and terms in place when you join the Community will stay in effect for the duration of that subscription period. Should you cancel your membership and wish to renew, new prices and terms will apply for the duration of that subscription period. If the membership is full, you will be placed on a waiting list until space becomes available.

As between the Company and Client, all documents and any intellectual property rights therein provided by the Client to the Company are the property of the Client. The Company shall use such materials to provide the Services only. As between the Company and Client, all Materials and any intellectual property rights therein provided by the Company to the Client are the property of the Company (“Company IP”).

We may provide you with educational materials (“Materials”) developed by us and designed to assist you in achieving your goals. Subject to this Agreement, we grant you a non-exclusive, limited, non-transferable, and revocable license to use the Materials solely in connection with your work with the Company.

If we suspect that you shared the Materials or your login information with any party, we reserve the right to terminate your access to the Materials immediately.

Refunds will only be issued for programs canceled by the Company. Otherwise, fees for Services are not refundable.

The Company is an independent contractor, not an employee of the Client or any company affiliated with the Client. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create a relationship of employer and employee, partners, or any relationship other than that of independent parties contracting with one another to carry out the provisions of this Agreement. The Company is responsible for determining the time, place, and manner Services are provided. This Agreement does not create an exclusive relationship between the parties.

Company and Client shall first attempt to settle any dispute through good-faith negotiation. If the dispute cannot be resolved, either party may submit the matter to mediation using the services of a professional mediator approved by both parties. If the parties cannot come to an agreement following mediation, they will submit the matter to binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted through an online forum when possible. When no such forum is available, arbitration shall be conducted in New London, Connecticut.

Should a dispute between the parties lead to legal action, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable legal fees, including attorneys’ fees.

The Company shall not be in breach of this Agreement for any delay or failure in performance caused by reasons beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God or public enemy; natural calamities; failure of a third party to perform; changes in the laws or regulations; actions of any civil, military, or regulatory authority; power outage or other disruptions of communication methods or any other cause out of the reasonable control of the Company.

This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and the Client and their respective heirs, successors, representatives, and permitted assigns. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party.

If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement.
