2. These Terms and Our Program Agreements
These Terms govern your use of the Site itself. Our paid programs, including The Ambition Playbook™, The Accelerator, The Intensive, and The Lab, are governed by separate agreements, proposals, or enrolment terms that you accept when you engage us or join a program. Where a separate agreement conflicts with these Terms in relation to a paid program, that agreement controls for that program.

8. No Professional Advice and No Guarantee of Results
The Site and our programs provide education, facilitation, and guidance. They do not constitute legal, financial, tax, investment, or other professional advice, and they are not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional who knows your circumstances.
