We review our website periodically for broken or out-of-date Recordings. Any and all Recordings may be posted, altered, or removed at any time. To report problems with Recordings on our website, or for more information, please send an email to support(at)thesketchupessentials.com.

 

g) “Shelf Life” of Digital Products

The SketchUp Essentials digital training, educational, and entertainment products have a shelf-life of 12 months. Meaning that if you purchase a digital information product from us, you should expect these links, documents, manuals, eBooks, articles, videos, software and other digital information or productivity items to be live, accessible and usable for a period of 12 months following your purchase.

This “Shelf Life” does not apply to recurring memberships. Recurring memberships will remain active, accessible, and usable for an ongoing basis as you remain current with your membership dues. Failure to pay your membership dues may result in termination of your account and a loss of any/all data stored or entered therein.  You may be required to rejoin at higher rates.  Old content will be removed from time to time from membership areas and discontinued.  This information will be unaccessible even to lifetime members.

h) Lifetime membership

Lifetime membership covers all courses and trainings (recordings and downloadable resources) available at the time of purchase ONLY.  It does not cover new recordings created AFTER you purchased unless specifically acknowledged, or any future recordings added to our training area.  There are no guarantees of FUTURE trainings being made available either in the membership area OR to lifetime members.  Lifetime membership only covers lifetime access to courses available at the time of purchase within the lifetime membership area.  Furthermore, Lifetime Membership does not include lifetime access to Justin Geis’ private forums or coaching.  At purchase, Lifetime membership includes 1 year of access to Justin Geis’ private forum.  Furthermore, Lifetime Access is the lifetime of this product and/or business.  Should The SketchUp Essentials cease to exist in its current form, there will be no refunds or guaranteed access to products, trainings, or community forums.  The Lifetime access to training courses is therefore tied to the life of the product, not the user.

i) Licensee Status

You understand and agree that your use of our website is limited and non-exclusive as an individual nontransferable revocable licensee. We may, within our sole discretion, terminate your license to use our website, and access to our website, for any reason or no reason whatsoever, and without giving you notice. This includes lifetime member access, training, and live coaching.

  1. I understand that I am signing up for a recurring membership. I understand this is a subscription service and I will be billed based on the plan I purchased (monthly, quarterly, or yearly). I understand that I will be charged each period on the same day that I signed up (or within 48 hours before or after the date depending on processing).

  2. I understand that I can cancel my membership at any time. I understand that cancellation requests MUST be submitted using the Cancellation form at least 48 hours prior to my scheduled payment date.

I understand that there are no partial period refunds, and that cancellations will be processed immediately.  The first payment is nonrefundable.
  3. Once the Cancellation form has been submitted, I understand that I will be unable to access the community once my request has been processed. Due to system limitations, The SketchUp Essentials is unable to honor requests to cancel on a future date. If I wish to retain login privileges until my next billing date, it is my responsibility to fill the cancellation form out at the appropriate time.
